I mean, he's definitely a moron *now*, and he's always been overconfident (see paypal years)
But once upon a time he made some good choices that benefitted SpaceX and, to a lesser degree, Tesla.

I need a Ravel - Bolero / Shepard Tone mashup.
i have some books about it i could loan you but i haven't read them yet
That's a good way to get interlocutors though!
principled actors can coordinate acausally, while actors that merely align based on loyalty must negotiate
Tweet Screenshot with nested quote-tweet @VioletFlame23 Btw, the donations paid off: Scarecrow Video was able to buy their building, so they don't have to worry about being evicted anymore and they're much less likely to go out of business In the most literal sense, the video store donations were both effective and altruistic! scarecrow.video.official Breaking News! We Bought > SCAREC Our Building! Effective Altruists when my friend tells them that all of his donations go to Scarecrow Video, the last remaining video store in the greater Seattle metropolitan area [reaction gif, cast of FRIENDS confused and appalled]
EAs are ok in my book
A while back I saw a blog post from someone poking around in his Tesla's ethernet and he got warning letter telling him that continuing to connect to the network would void his warranty etc
Sorry I don't recall details, just saying "watch out for tamper detection" when you're in there.
Aesthetically, these are exactly the vibe I'm looking for. Reminds me of Grandma's house. And after getting them home I realized that this is literally something my grandfather would have had - there were lots of trinkets around from his time at Standard Oil.
Two 10oz glasses in a very 50s style with text about the petroleum expo wrapping around

I will never top this thrift store find.
One time my friend was posting about his conversation with a sad old man at the laundromat and someone replied "hey man, are you ok? Did you get stuck in a Tom Waits song?"
I get this with audiobooks I listened to on long walks. One book in the park, chapter of a completely different book a few blocks over.
First person games definitely give me a sense of place that other art doesn't. If I replayed the first Marathon game rn it would feel like walking through a building I visited in high school.
She should be surrounded by skittering spider things but I shouldn't be able to see any because they hide between saccades
I've seen someone on this site say "just don't ask a rationalist where they were on Jan 6th" so I think the echo chamber has gone from thinking "bay area nerds are all right wing" to "bay area nerds are basically the same as fervent Trump supporters"
tfw you've gotta unfollow someone you respected because they caught brainworms that cause them to just make shit up
Was it? Small government types sure, but can you find one (1) example of an EA cheering on USAID cuts? Or someone on the left?
My wife insists that you all know that she was working on taxes while I was working on this.
I can't vouch for these specific exercises but I've tried this guy's weird suggestions for other mobility fixes and he seems to know what he's doing.

My roommate and I watched the first episode of Homicide last night and I searched my posts just now to see if I'd talked about that show before. I had totally forgotten about this and assumed Braugher was still alive. Damn.
I get offended when the cat climbs into my lap and then starts bathing himself. I thought we were going to hang out, that is something you should be doing on your own time.
I was going to read those though.
eventually
coin pusher machine, densely packed with quarters
Every time I empty a bottle I toss the bottle cap to the cat. He bats it around for a while until it gets stuck under the refrigerator or the stove. Eventually that space will be so densely packed with bottle caps that pushing one in will knock another one out.
By the 90s, photo labs were doing some digital color correction when printing from negatives and in a home darkroom you can tweak both development and printing. But for most consumer photographs the development process was tuned to be as neutral as possible.
I would argue that for most old color photographs, the differences are entirely attributable to how information is captured. Most color film is designed to be developed using the standardized C-41 process so that film from different manufacturers can be developed on the same machine at the same time
Perfectly normal bro greeting, idk why they're trying to make it weird.
I don't understand the distinction between color grading and film chemistry. Are you making a distinction between color distortions that happen when developing/printing vs when capturing the image?

I wish I could send you the dishwasher from my grandma's apartment when I was 12. Perfect sound to fall asleep to.
