Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Yamamoto show.

Wow!

One thing that always pissed me off is this.

$2100 can be said as twenty-one hundred but...

$2000 can't be said as twenty hundred.

English majors... WHY???

This is wild! We got NBA players/coaches, Poker, and 4 of the 5 NY mafia families. Movie of the week material.

‘I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat

God these people are f'n gross.

Was a rainy day yesterday so we decided to chill and watch a movie.

We watched Perfect Days on #Netflix. Japanese movie that has maybe 20 words the first hour. Seriously a beautiful movie and not many words are needed to tell this story.

Not gonna lie there was a bit of onion cutting going on at a few points in the movie. I kind of want to watch it again just because I enjoyed it so much. Highly recommend it!

Anyone actually enjoying House of Guinness? I'm 4 episodes deep and I think I'll jump ship. I just don't care to watch another episode. #netflix

Oh sweet, now I'm seeing all this #Sora slop in my IG feed. God what have we become?

A pretty cool thing about the Fediverse:

It will still be around in a decade. Even two decades.

Usenet still exists. IRC still exists. Email still exists. When you build platforms on open protocols and standards, it doesn't actually matter what corporations try and do to enshittify it. So long as there are people who are still willing to run instances, and users who still want to talk to one another without going through some corporation's platform, it'll still be here.

I've seen the news of a successful treatment of Huntington's described as "a miracle" and it really, really annoys me to see the work of years described as "a miracle". It's not a miracle. People busted their ass for ages, possibly overworked, possibly underpaid. Undergrads and grads toiled in labs at unholy hours on weekends. It's not a miracle. I don't even want to say "It's science" because it's not about the scientific method (ok, it is in this case, but), it's about the very hard work.

I feel like I've only been honking to throw shade lately but I've got some more shade to throw...

Anyone up on Black Rabbit yet? I watched 3 episodes so far and it's pretty meh. I had such high hopes, though not sure why.

Had to do this ID verification thing for Stripe now (twice) and it involves taking 3 selfies to verify my face matches that of my ID.

The selfies confirm. I'm old and ugly. Thanks for that #Stripe.

I heard a recent podcast where a developer was saying that AI apps today are like web apps from 10 years ago (yes, 2015), where you had to learn to not mix customers data or leak customers data. He claimed it was a new concept in 2015. And this is the state of the average developer today.

This new Stripe workbench environment is way slower than the old system. Kind of annoying honestly.

Pietras was vague about how he had made his fortune. He told Andrew he’d earned his M.B.A. from NYU and once worked for a billionaire in Nicaragua.

Billionaire in Nicaragua?? First sign this story is going in the way of a scam artist...

There MAY be one here in Nicaragua, Carlos Pellas, but I doubt he's at that level.

"In the last week, we’ve had no less than three different pieces asking whether the massive proliferation of data centers is a massive bubble, and though they, at times, seem to take the default position of AI’s inevitable value, they’ve begun to sour on the idea that it’s going to happen soon.

Meanwhile, quirked-up threehundricorn OpenAI has either raised or is about to raise another $8.3 billion in cash, less than two months since it raised $10 billion from SoftBank and a selection of venture capital firms.

I hate to be too crude, but where the fuck is this money going? Is OpenAI just incinerating capital? Is it compute? Is it salaries? Is it compute? Is it to build data centers, because SoftBank isn’t actually building anything for Stargate?

The Information suggested OpenAI is using the money to build data centers — possibly the only worse investment it can make other than generative AI, and it’s one that it can’t avoid because OpenAI also is somehow running out of compute. And now they're in "early-stage discussions" about an employee share sale that would value the company at $500 billion, a ludicrous number that shows we're leaving the realm of reality. To give you some context, Shopify's market cap is $197 billion, Salesforce's is $248 billion, and Netflix's is $499 billion. Do you really think that OpenAI is worth more than these companies? Do you think they're worth more than AMD at a $264 billion market cap? Do you?"

I don't fully understand the cryptographic reasons why they're more secure, but I do like the fact that ed25519 SSH public keys are so much smaller than their rsa alternatives.

We decided to watch True Detective as my wife has never seen it (well, some of S4, which... well more below).

I forgot how amazing S1 was. I also forgot how stupid S2 is. Who the hell cast Vince Vaughn as a tough guy mafia boss? I don't believe this guy for a second.

S3 I remember being much better than S2. Half way through S2 still so...

S4 was terrible. Worst season easily (and that's saying something cause S2 sucks). We won't revisit this one.

I think S2 bothers me so much because it's based in LA and I want to love it just for that fact alone (being an Angelino myself). Picking out locations, "Vinci" is supposed to be Vernon, "Vinci Gardens" casino, obviously Hawaiian Gardens Casino, etc. God damn they just did such a terrible job with casting and the portrayal of SoCal street life that I just am annoyed watching it.

For the people who randomly put my name @gmail.com into their various web forms I just want to let you know that I hate you.

I'd also like to apologize to johnnybgood@gmail.com because I know you hate me.

It's the circle of life.

Ahhh yes it's that part of the day where my knees start aching even more. Highly recommend power lifting to all.
