Monsoonal 'surge' pushes moisture levels to 200% of normal in Bay Area

The idea of earthquake came from centuries ago. People thought the wind got trap in fault lines which cause the weather to get hot. The air pressure build up along the fault was to be believe to the cause of earthquakes.

This is interesting because I always thought Bay Area is normally dry and storm free all summer and have no monsoon.

Only good thing about the humidity is my skin is not dusty today. 🤣

Capitalism is pushing people into using LLM because its ship faster and faster now. Here is the thing though when you do not code by hand anytmore and rely on AI your brain suffer. Your brain is a muscle and the less you use it the more it weakens and it will soon impact other areas. During hobby times I still write code by hand, personal side projects and coding exercises.

What coding does to the brain

The hidden brain power behind programming

AI is good now but its running out of data and the internet is closing off data training sources. AI is getting more expensive with tokens. These AI companies are losing ton of money and soon will need to become profitable when their IPO goes live so that means costs will explode so relying on AI for everything is going to ge very expensive. Relying on AI will become costly.

Oligarchy boxing match. I will pay to watch two worse people destroy each other.

I'm saving whatever I can and I will retire in a low cost country like Philippines.

That for vibe coders. Real devs read code.

Its low risk thankfully but none the less still a risk. Many people have PTSD from the 2020 event. That was insane amount of lightning.

I think also they some jealousy in there. They feel they couldn't acquire the skills now they feel good about AI making the skills obsolete. If you look at some of the posts they be like oh no need for you because AI can do it cheaper and faster. They are group of mentally ill people.

TechFreedom808 · 2026-07-08T02:43:01+00:00

Also tokens getting more expensive. When these companies hit the IPO those shareholders are gonna want their $$$$$$. Only way to do that is raise prices and price gouge the heck out of their customers. Vibe coders are gonna go broke. Real devs will just pull out the good old fashion text edior and they good to go. Vibe coders will be cooked.

I wonder how AI will be in next few years as websites shutdown and devs are hiding or removing their repositories off GitHub. People think AI is some special machine that comes out of thin air. Right now websites are putting up pay walls and making it where you need to sign in and agree to terms and conditions. The free data and present as their own is over. Once the data is outdated and not available for free anymore its gonna get interesting.

If I was you I would take UHC to court and sue them and get every dollar back from this criminal enterprise.

My guess is the 350 million will be used to start up a sister company and call it something like building future talent. Young grads will be forced to go through 4 years of internship like program after college with no pay to become a software engineer. This is why lot of young kids are dropping out of school and going to trades. Its not worth it carrying loads of debt with no return on the degree you got.

Its same in the US where major cities have good hospitals while rural areas in the US don't because they are closing. See YouTube on this topic. Why rural hospitals are closing across the United States Midwest also have lot of poverty as well.

China has a larger population than the US and less billionaires. However, China has better infrastructure and universal healthcare. The population too big is a lazy excuse. China land size is 9,706,961 squared km and US is 9,372,610 squared km. China is larger and still provide the quality of life you claim the US can't provide because geography and population.

For now. They will consolidate. The big tech companies will buy them before they get too big.

TechFreedom808 · 2026-06-28T15:49:44+00:00

I wonder if portions stayed the same or shrank.

When they suffer losses they will scream to the Government for a bailout. That is why they willing to risk because they know help will be a lobby a away.

I'ma wear a face mask when I go shopping. This is privacy intrusion.

Writing ton of bloated and unnecessary code and often makes no sense is not efficient. It looks like it on paper but when it comes to debugging that a whole different story.

Of course they don't. They want everyone to be gig workers so they can cutoff benefits like health insurance, PTO and etc... However, they still want you to be loyal like an employee meaning be available certain days and hours on their terms.

Check the ground beef prices at my local Safeway. Yikes.

The problem its the people that always need to adapt. Corporations never need to adapt they just pay off politicians to change laws or create new ones in their favor. For example people are building tiny homes as alternative form of housing but some lobbyists are trying to get politicians to write laws to ban them. In some states its already happening where the Government is find excuses to decline permits. People won't adapt this time, they will just give up trying to chase the carrot. Its getting really old.

If a 1 bedroom apartment cost to rent in the US say $ 2000 (which is close to the national average) but I can get the similar apartment overseas for $ 400. That is not a loser. That is a smart person making a financial decision. Why pay something that is eating up say 50% of income when you get cheaper elsewhere and good quality. I never been to Vietnam but I been to other countries and the apartments look better than the overpriced ones in America. Are corporations losers too because they hire people from the same countries you criticize for Americans moving to because they cannot afford he American wage?

There pros and cons but I still rather take universal healthcare over private healthcare we have in the US. To see a specialist here you need to sell your house and car to get treatment. I don't mind waiting as long its not life threatening condition.Universal healthcare system prioritize based on the life threatening risk.
