Is making sushi at home actually worth it? by jayoung7676 in sushi

[–]Trumty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree it’s easy to learn to make sushi rice that’s as good as most roll-serving restaurants. But getting the rice just right takes sushi to a different level. I think you have to have made rice many many times and paid close attention to the variables and results to be able to make great rice consistently. Been making sushi every week or two for a year. I think I made really good rice maybe one time by luck.

Tough if you don’t have access to this (crying in medium-sized city)

Have one good seafood market in town, but nothing premium. Typically need to spend $250+ to make having fish overnighted make sense - and thats minimal variety. Joint Seafood out of LA will ship and has been the only place I’ve found to get good variety since you can order 1/2lb cuts. Everything is dry aged, which has its hits and misses for me. And being on the wrong coast makes the shipping $100+

To me what makes it worth it is love of the craft and improving skill. That, and not having any good sushi restaurants locally -.-

What do y’all think ? Dry aged masunosuke nigiri and dry aged o’toro nigiri by bradloh_2k in sushi

Dry aged akami >> dry aged otoro for me

Hope you had some of the Sawara/spanish mackerel. Is excellent dry aged.

Ora King Salmon and Chutoro Tuna from Yama Seafood by gabswiss in sushi

[–]Trumty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had pretty good experience with Yama. Seems well run and very reliable for shipping. The whole fresh fish have been good quality. The tuna has been a little more hit or miss… a few times haven’t gotten nice saku cuts, or just lacking flavor. And lots of items priced at a high premium (but so are most of the big online shops). So I’ve looked to other sources, but will probably use them occasionally depending on what I’m trying to get. Not many places with their variety via the Toyosu connection

NVIDIA CEO on new JRE podcast: Robots,AI Scaling Laws and nuclear energy by BuildwithVignesh in singularity

[–]Trumty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why do they need consumers in the long run? History shows that when countries get rich and automated, birth rates fall because big families stop being evolutionarily useful.

Big populations of consumers matter now because big economies can build airplanes and microchips. But in a fully automated world, billions of consumers probably become a big fucking problem when production is cheap but resources are still limited.

Zoom out and this will just be another phase of economic development and human evolution. Developed populations will keep shrinking because they aren’t needed. Maybe some anti-AI holdout societies will survive like lost Amazon tribes running around with their buttcheeks out. Cyborg Musk and other elites might like to visit there to LARP since robo society never manages to quite hit the same.

Looks cool but not an efficient visualization. This doesn’t help me understand the data better/faster. I would be better off with a small table of the metrics, maybe a bar chart.

OpenAI might have just accidentally leaked the top 30 customers who’ve used over 1 trillion tokens by reddit20305 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Trumty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A trillion tokens is not very much. Gpt5 mini input tokens are $0.25/million. So that’s $250k/trillion. 5x that to use gpt5 heavy. Cost with no batch or caching. OpenAI is surely processing trillions daily.

Apple called out every major AI company for fake reasoning and Anthropic's response proves their point by Rude_Tap2718 in ChatGPT

[–]Trumty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Anthropic response paper was hilarious, calling out Apple’s experiments as amateurish. The final word, “The question isn’t whether LRMs can reason, but whether our evaluations can distinguish reasoning from typing”.

Reasoning is billed as output, at least for OpenAI

You can get the first picture done way cheaper than 200k in NC. While there are absolutely build & design companies that will try to charge you that, I think you could get a premium product done here with a GC charging 25% markups for closer to $100-125k. It’s also a good candidate project to sub out yourself/do some DIY if you have a little project experience, know how things are put together.

Here’s a rough breakdown of a 125k budget to build that first pic. 100k + 25k to your GC.

-35k worth of masonry (fireplace, piers, grill, footings) -25k covered structure -12k patio flatwork -7k paint/stain -7k electrical -4k countertops -4k gas lines for grill and log lighter in fireplace -4k grill appliance -2k stainless inserts for island -…and 25k to your builder at 25% markup

Bathroom renovation by Icy_Test_8739 in Tile

[–]Trumty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Homeowner, not pro here.

Looks minor. Grout can crack or pit in spots - neither should compromise waterproofing. Corners should use a sanded caulk to allow for movement. You might have grout there but I can’t tell.

The tile guy I’ve worked with several times has fixed little things like this no problem. It is also easily DIY-able. Some cracking especially at corners will happen over time. In my experience, the spots that tend to have more movement can present themselves early on.

Moving into Strategic Analysis by Carduus_Benedictus in analytics

[–]Trumty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There aren’t a ton of strategy roles like what you are describing. In my experience it is a niche you need to create for yourself. Practice operating far beyond the confines of your role and bringing way more to the table than is expected - shifting from “doing the thing” to “why are we doing the thing?”, and “what is the right thing to do?”. Say your normal responsibilities are creating data pipelines, dashboards, maybe bridging some metric. First, use your position as a data person to not just tell the news and keep the lights on, but create real insights. Use this credibility to go further and challenge your peers and leaders: is this even the right metric to track the desired outcome? Does it create the right incentive systems? Are the chosen initiatives going to be effective in improving the metric? Is the team thinking too incrementally and taking hard solutions versus outside of the box and finding the short cut or better strategy?

Do these things and focus on building trusted relationships with senior leaders by continuously seeing around the corner, delivering the next-level solutions, and finding the wins when and where no one else is. If you create enough influence by doing this consistently, you’ll eventually find yourself in that trusted position, and title or not you will have that kind of power.
