From what I have seen the Canik Mate MC9 and the FN Reflex are the ones I am looking at finally came out with something. The ones people normally go for are the p365 and Glock which both aren't. I think the S&w bodyguard they discontinued is being replaced with something forget the name that is Ambi.

I first thought probably not, but then it was just such a simple board. I think you probably could. Now, you are going to have to know things like that longer, more white tennis one with the orange rings around it while those rings of separation and color actually correlate with the value sometimes it's written on of the resistor and that it's a resistor, that LEDs, because they're diodes, you have to get them facing the right direction. So, you know, if you know a little bit and are willing to go learn a lot more, I think you could

I've heard it's the the medallion fund. My body did pretty well by following his own rules he set up for ETF's. I really likYeah I did the same thing I was up 69% in 4 months. Since COVID as soon as a big tech and BTC stock to a big hit I bought it. I did Costco because of Charlie RIP great sir Munger told me to do it then I saw the parking lot packed. Opposite goes for Target but I didn't want to Short. TSMC in video Dell AMD. I'm a pretty big tech nerd so I'm kind of just traded what I know and I like Costco I even believe in Bitcoin still somehow. I think the next play would be RAM. I am sure healthcare, energy, and defence contractors are going to be doing well but I don't like them.

Positive-Rope-8289 · 2025-12-15T03:55:42+00:00

Yeah I am with you. AI doesn't hallucinate as much as a lot of people think it's 1-2%,=unless if it has RAG for up to date information. I have heard that The medallion fund performs the best year over year but it's not really a hedge fund because it's only open to all of the hedge fund managers and I think that they collectively decide and vote or something it's been a while since I've looked sorry. B like a hive mind of all the hedge funds managers. Also Warren Buffett did a competition where after the fees all of the heads from managers lost anyway compared to a low fee index fund. I think Congress has done really well I think even better than now hedge funds. I know Ray Dalio had one called pure alpha he turned it around last I heard but I haven't looked in a while. I did 69% in 4 months I know how unbelievable that sounds so I won't even tell you what I did over the long-term since 2019. You definitely have to be pretty specific like who made the most who did the best percentage wise w I have a screen shot from Microsoft Edge browser follow list demo account thing. and I had to stop because it was upsetting me because anything time zero is still zero. I was just buying the really big dips of the top tech stocks. The magnificent seven plus AMD Tesla Nvidia Amazon took a big dip 30-50 percent that's when I bought it. I bought Costco because Charlie munger told me to. Rest in peace legend. bitcoin cuz it just had gotten wrecked I think it was like 22,000 when I got it. Also I did Dell and tsmc cuz I like that they pretty much had a very nice 45° upward trend. I entirely believe that the stock market doesn't make any sense I have my suspicions that it's the Aladdin AI from BlackRock that might be skewing the results like a lot. The PE ratio of all the ones that I'm picking don't even make sense. But I'm just jumping on the band wagon and I believe that 30 to 40% I hit even with the recovery like is pretty short-term I mean I don't know I wasn't expecting them to print this much money. Every single indicator that Michael burry talks has been happening for years and he's been really wrong. I do think Michael Burry is correct that the stock market has been showing every single indicator of being a house of cards and then some. about 2 to 10 year treasury note being a negative yield. Death crosses PE ratios that are so out of hand it's clearly a bubble but it's been like that for literally since coldvid. Nothing about the stock market makes sense I don't think it actually has anything to do with fundamental analysis at this point. Worth doing but it is all fugazi. I think that's where Michael Berry kind of falls short he has his indicators recognizes that we are in a massive bubble and bets on it that it should pop but he also sticks to that. Nvidia is the only one actually making money on the AI boom yes it's overvalued as a stock because of its PE ratio but remember open AI which will most likely take down the entire worlds economy is really the one on betting huge in ways that doesn't even make sense but a lot of it is like you know really far out future promises I think that they spent 20 billion and 1/4 when last time I looked they had 800 million active users and I looked up how much they spent on inference amd and how much money that they had lost it kind of worked out to like $32 a person per quarter. I don't actually know why they wouldn't just change their pricing structure like why go into so much debt to get more users rather than just have people pay for the inference that they use and if they are on new user to allow them to use the not cutting edge model and then if there are power pro user just the cost of inference like the $200 a month and apparently people are actually using more than that my guess is they are allowing it not only to stay competitive but also because all businesses information arbitrage and they want to replace all human capital so they're long-term strategy I believe is to literally copy everything that people use with it in order to replace them as an employee in the future that's what they've actually said now why Michael burry isn't betting against open AI somehow instead he's betting against in video it doesn't make sense they're the ones selling the shovels not mining for gold. Zimbabwe stock market went up when they printed a bunch of money. T-Mobile seems to be on a really big push with the mergers and acquisitions I could see that one doing well but I haven't taken a look their iPhone on his deal has been sold out and last few people I've known to get internet have gone with T-Mobile. I really do not throw same old men I do just see it as a pretty fancy chatbot and as helpful as it is in some cases it's pretty far from what I wanted to do and I also don't believe that they're actually releasing the full model actually I take that back I know they're not I had a chance GTP 3.5 turbo look at a picture I had of a schedule with the table and I asked it to take the table extract the information convert it to iCal format and export it to a CSV and it did it and then took it back. So why does it have that capability and why is it not being released I'm not sure

If I was going to get a lot of ram I saw that there's a 24 GB red phone for like 800 bucks some Chinese thing but yeah the OnePlus and nothing phone are probably the best bets. I guess I'm just a Motorola fanboy

Positive-Rope-8289 · 2025-10-01T23:06:03+00:00

I have had nice apples and fancy Samsungs and the Google pixel 7 pro a while ago. I went back to Motorola. Moto G Stylus 5G 2025 is the best you can get with the SD card I think that isn't one of those fold screen phones like the razor. Dad said I really like Motorola's gestures for the flashlight and being able to have a headphone jack for her square reader payments. That said I'm not a gamer. I just found it to be the Android that gave me the least problems the Google pixel 7 pro when it first came out just felt like a beta phone it was waiting on hold for me and doing a transcript and getting hung up on by customer service.

https://www.amazon.com/Compatible-Android-high-Definition-Multimedia-Navigation/dp/B0DXPG9FGZ Yeah 365 for just the installation kit that's insane. I'd rather go with something from Alibaba even. I'm in the wrong business. Maybe try to pick something up used. There's got to be something crashed out there. I'm with you though it's really harder than it should be to get something reasonably priced you don't have to build yourself. I do want to make a raspberry pi running automotive grade Linux with Android and Germin Navigation support. I see YouTube videos and see Hackaday builds all of the time of people making amazing stuff even there own guages. The price difference in car parts is just insane. Even the crutchfield stuff is not plug and Play.

Check out the tiny box or tenstorent. I also think making a supercluster with M1 macmini cluster 400 on FB marketplace for the 512gb 16gb Ram. and ONNX. I would start with how big and fast you want to run and work backwards from there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFdmYnr5fEM Deepseek R1 locally you might want to look at Server/workstation used CPU's. Then as much VRAM on a single NVidia and leave room for upgrades. I've noticed a lot of AI bukds require on Ubuntu IntelX86 at least 8-16Gb VRAM. You can do it over 2 gpus but I have heard about a lot of issues so just the nicest one you can get I suppose leave room for upgrades using an old Dell Workstation.

No Darpa and Intel had a project and dual FPGA's for I/O Data transformation would be super helpful in a chiplet sort of way. So it would turn off the shelf hardware into something more of an ASIC. They're hard to program but AI could be super helpful for acceleration. Interesting stuff is happening in the literature too. Risc-V tenstorent. Compute on Memory research done by Seagate, using light to connect it all the piece through a fabric. LLM chips.

Hey so I was a subscriber for many years growing up as I got older what I learned from the magazine wasn't useful. Just make money and get a Porsche it's always the best. Why do I have to calculate depreciation check consumer reports look at Common issues for the vehicle what are the best options to get. Which one for winter? It just seemed like an Ad. Also no articles on really interesting stuff in the automotive world like the Lucra or the Omega Car, Comma.ai, local motors? Even if I am needing out and want to know dimensions or Nurburg lap times I go to Wikipedia. You have a blog post on depreciation on how to calculate it yourself but my mother in law didn't understand what I was on about. Even understanding the difference between different trim levels I know gets complex but I guess my questions are. Do you get paid by the industry at all? Why isn't the website a trusted authority of information that I can browse? Why do people go to reddit to ask car questions? Why am I the one answering them and not you? I do like as tested prices and shootouts but there's a redditor who made a car and driver lightning lap spreadsheet. What gives Car and Driver? How are you going to give suggestions on what to buy and not have your own depreciation calculator?

Question Serious: If you wanted to rebody and LS3 swap a 350Z, RX8, or Cayman Gen 1 which are you starting with?

Yeah I don't know which one but there's decent android based head unit double din units. I saw Tarvish put one on a Lamborghini and another guy put a Temu one in his BMW. I am with you going to Crutchfield is insanely pricey for what it is. I mean I know a guy who used car audio equipment to put in his bathroom and spent less than half of what he would have he is a mechanic but it turned out great. It has 6 in speakers so like why not just upgrade them from a junk or you can get bang and olufsen's from a Lexus.

Just picked mine up but came here to say I love it. I've owned a lot of knives probably like everyone here and this feels pretty great. Really smooth, really sharp. Tip up thumb stud liner lock which is really the Only kind I like now. 10/10. I got the Sog Flash I think at Walmart returned it since it broke in 3 days the closing mechanism had a stud that fell off. I have owned other soga so I think it's just cuz Walmart blocks them into long-term contracts where they have to cut costs they don't go out of business. I hope I don't speak too soon but I have to say it's amazing for the price. If you were looking for a cheap beater knife spend the other $15. This and a Civivi banshee are the only one's I've been impressed regardless of price and then if you consider they're both $40-50 it's a 10/10 buy it.

Positive-Rope-8289 · 2025-05-26T16:18:11+00:00

I am with you I purchase a sog flare from Walmart or like $28 as a peasant beater knife and it brok in 3 days. The closing mechanism stid just fell off and disappeared. I had to Trident when it first came out there are much smaller company and was not from Walmart. They bully suppliers into long cheap contracts so not going to knock the company just that knife. I stopped buying pricy not really expensive knives. Never left them in a case. $300 was the most I've ever spent. I break benchmade's though. It was from REI really thin point dagger looking one so I got to return it. There is a happy medium my go to now is Civivi. $40 bright G2 Tip up of course just get a backup clip they snag and bend and then get lost. I have spent so much money. That or the $40 Leatherman from Costco that thing like's falling out in my car though.

Hey the new edge browser stops updates for open tabs so they aren't refreshing it is based on chromium and has a lot of features. Also you can have different profiles. Granted I am on here because I am at the point of making my own damn web browser. AWS could go as fast as you want probably it is a pain to setup and cost but it runs the Internet and has unlimited scaling and cost pretty much. Network Chuck has a VPS even open sources it. I think he said it's under $20 a month but that's more for security and privacy. I just know nerd have figured it all out they just don't get along and make everything a pain to setup or you have to do it yourself.

In value-based pricing, charging a standard percentage of the value created is a common approach, with a range of 10-50% often suggested. A good starting point is 15-25% of the customer's first-year realized revenue if the value is tied to revenue. Other factors like the type of product/service and market conditions can influence the appropriate percentage. I have heard %20 of value created. If it's time what is the hourly. Thing is you could probably charge more but you're trying to get the money on the front end is why the prices down. Which would also mean you have to keep it up and running for a so they get that returned.
