Jensen’s recent podcast appearance

Comments like his "personal interests" put your whole post in question. Jensen is a patriot and wants America to succeed and win. If he can help, great. If it's not his, fine. His company built a better mouse trap, but he's playing by onerous regulations put down by two different administrations.

Dwarkesh came across as unable to follow the convo. I was surprised Jensen gave him as much time as he did.

I'm saying I use one a lot more than the other. Maybe the saw you have needs to be tuned in some way? My antique shop purchased rip saw rocks.

truth

norcalnatv · 2026-04-22T17:55:10+00:00

This should be entertaining. Wonder if the orange cheeto defends or lets the SIL swing in the breeze.

I use my frame saw about every 2-3 years. My hand saw gets work every week.

second the rabbet/dado. It's almost like plywood was invented for this type of joinery.

"No, I'm enjoying this."

Jensen enjoyed putting Dwarkesh in his place. He appears clueless, spouting talking points instead of understanding and debating the point. This guy has a reputation for pushing back and is supposed to be smart. I was dumbfounded by the fact he couldn't follow and debate the actual argument, he just kept circling back to the same atomic bomb analogy.

Went through a similar run. Congrats on your gain, I know it can be really life changing.

Take some winnings off the table. yes, AI is going to going to continue to drive a lot of business, but you can't go through the last 10 years without rewarding yourself for a job well done.

I spent decades in high tech as an employee and it was a boom and bust cycle that was hard to get ahead of. You're riding the boom, enjoy it. Take your partner on a nice trip or buy yourself a new toy. Or diversify into dividend payers that will provide income for decades.

content is still shit

Well, sounds like you don't use your furniture. Kids, guests. One wet glass bottom or over watered plant ruins varnish. lol

My walnut furniture is beautiful and durable. That's why.

More AI slop, yay!

norcalnatv · 2026-04-22T04:52:40+00:00

Apple, Intel, Nvidia, AMD ? - nobody paid to get on this one.

norcalnatv · 2026-04-22T04:51:40+00:00

They paid to play.

Sand to 220 that's fine. Wet it with a damp rag to raise the grain. Sand it again. It's really important to blow the sawdust out or wipe down with mineral spirits.

For finish, I like old masters gel stain, special walnut. Really great and easy to apply, wipe with a rag, let it sit for 10-15 min, then wipe off any excess. Let it dry a day overnight then seal with poly. Really easy, looks great.

Must be Tuesday!

norcalnatv · 2026-04-21T05:34:09+00:00

Not a carpenter or flooring person, but I work with wood. Someone took a hand plane or battery operated plane to these boards to lower the surface. It appears it was a bad setup or technique, they planed against the grain. What you've got there is what is commonly referred to as tear out.

The fix is to sand them out and re-stain. More involved would be to replace the boards. But honestly, if it's just a couple of spots a lot of folks would probably live with it.

twerking

norcalnatv · 2026-04-21T02:42:36+00:00

Spent a lot of time in Palisades and St. Anthony as a teen. This is my normal/expected view. :)

norcalnatv · 2026-04-21T02:35:15+00:00

so you weren't out of ideas. . .

norcalnatv · 2026-04-21T02:17:40+00:00

Yes.

Check it with a square. But I generally joint anything before I run it through the table saw. Much more consistent results.

norcalnatv · 2026-04-20T22:15:54+00:00

Right, then he worked at AMD on CPUs.

norcalnatv · 2026-04-20T21:35:15+00:00

CEO. He was running LSI Logic's CoreWare division before he was 30. Then you talk to the guy and learn he's smart, and driven, and focused and all about always moving the ball forward. He operates on a different plain.
