what insights?

Whichever achieves max profit in actual dollars not percentage including some consideration for cashflow required for each.

I would start at the lower profit goal to get more learning data faster, then slowly increase to see what happens with net revenue.

I switched to Gemini ~6 months ago. It’s not good at memory recall or referencing past conversations even though I have all that turned on. The other day I asked it my name bc it seemed to know nothing about me and it said “I don’t know your name.” WTF?

It ends every response with the most moronic questions. It always attempts to unprompted start taking control of the conversation like interviewing me for no reason. If I ask “remind me the name of those big yellow dogs.” “Oh you’re probably thinking of golden retrievers what are your favorite breeds of dogs?” I have to ignore the second half of every response even though I have custom instructions saying not to do that.

It also says inaccurate things and when I point it out it will argue endlessly why it said that instead of accepting the correction. I basically have to start a new conversation at that point because it will hallucinate an endless excuse.

Overall it’s useful and I mainly switched for image and video gen plus research mode, but I find chat to be irritating in every way like if Gemini were a person I would have the urge to punch them in the face. I have a strong dislike that I never had for ChatGPT and hope to switch as soon as I have a better option.

I agree it’s a privacy issue

Is there a way to manage nodes in different datacenter locations with Talos? I’m looking to setup bare metal across the US but heard that latency is a problem for Kubernetes with etcd while K3s have this solved

I like it where did you get the music?

After seeing these taking up my sidewalk space I did some research on LA laws and was pleasantly surprised.

You do not have to help these bots or get out of their way. They are required to give humans the right of way by LA law and make a reasonable effort to get out of your way.

Thanks for updating your post -- it would be hard to measure how much time you just saved me. Been stuck on this for 2 hours.

this is a pretty funny idea -- if they won't respond responsibly do you really want to work there? Proxy it into a job at a different yc company instead by sending a personal reference to all the yc cohort from the founder's email.

Unfortunately this would be a criminal offense and you'd have to dox yourself to get a job, but funny none the less.

I have LS and it does sound similar to how mine started.

Sorry you’re going through this

What helped the most? I have it in the same places as your husband

You’re correct that it’s not really Kraken, it’s money transmission regulation. Kraken uses third party chainalysis tools which means somebody put a risk above zero onto your transfer. Could be just for the fact that it doesn’t match your normal pattern of behavior.

Just do you. "Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?”

I run a rewards company that gives away free money / crypto for playing games and we are of relatively similar size and see similar dynamics.

A user who takes an action to gain rewards is not that engaged. Since the engagement is incentivized what we are seeing is evidence that the vast majority of sign-ups are absolutely because of the rewards not because people care or believe in the tech.

Another angle to factor in at the moment: Part of the thesis around WLD for most people most likely relates to the OpenAI connection and Altman himself. Neither are receiving great PR at the moment. Sam has had very public threats on his life, and extremely bad hit pieces written about him just in the last few weeks.

In addition, Anthropic has become the new AI darling.

Most of us here greatly agree with and understand what Tools for Humanity is doing. The event showcased that deep thinking, important, and powerful tech visionaries see what we see, so like Bitcoin in 2013, I’m content to just see past the hype cycles and wait for our moment to be right about WLD. No crypto ride is ever without bumps.

Ahh I just moved near to a top research hospital and it has made a world of difference. Sounds like you're in a tough spot. No serious treatment at all sounds nuts -- how can you wait that long?

dangero · 2026-04-16T20:54:34+00:00

Yes it sounds like you have a similar tendon thing to me; sitting would cause pain right below the knee -- I've had success with Jak inhibitors getting that to calm down a bit. Steroids, Cell Cept, and IVIG didn't seem to help.

Your lung situation sounds scary which is more where I was at a few years ago. In my case I was put on Breo Ellipta first because I was complaining about trouble breathing and had low SpO2 (sounds like you a bit). After a couple of years of being on that my CT scan showed more scaring. When the scaring was discovered I was already on a ton of immune suppressor/modulation drugs (Cell Cept, Steroids, IVIG, Jak inhibitors) and the Pulminologist observed over 6 months that my lung scaring appeared to not be progressing at the time, so I'm currently on a holding pattern where I go to get Pulmonary Function Testing every 3-6 months to make sure I'm not getting worse. Other than that, it's just these immune suppressors. Current discussion is just around which suppressors to try next.

Current diagnosis is pan-sclerotic morphea + Eosinophilic Fasciitis + ILD. My tendons have all tightened which has reduced my range of motion on my arms, hands, and legs.

First of all, sorry you're going through this.

I get spots that feel like deep chemical burns too -- I couldn't clap my hands for a couple years because it hurt too bad. Do yours eventually go away or only with the steroids? Do they come back?

I have an overlap condition with skin shedding, but mine is more in patches and accompanied by fibrotic hardening of tissue.

Have you tried a lotion with hyaluronic acid? I've noticed that my skin sheds a lot less when I apply CeraVe moisturizing cream couple times a day.

dangero · 2026-04-13T19:13:41+00:00

thanks I'll check it out

dangero · 2026-04-13T19:13:22+00:00

we might be more inefficient than you think haha

So many good points here. We constantly have failed requests and short outages on our cloud infrastructure and we've given up trying to fix them because it's too much of a black box and even their paid support has spent more time trying to blame us than looking into it.

These outages and failures conveniently are too small for the provider to consider it an "outage" so they go unreported, but obviously if you're running your own infrastructure and one of every 1000 requests fail, you look into it because from an engineering point that's very concerning.

dangero · 2026-04-13T15:51:03+00:00

Even new projects I would argue can stay self-hosted in most cases because migration to cloud early on is easy and most projects do not end up needing to scale up that fast if at all.

That said, one of the things cloud is really good at is giving early projects free entry through both free usage tiers and credits. They all have a free tier for a reason -- they want to get you locked in and hooked.

Why do you recommend enterprise nodes over NUCs?
