I can't find anything about whether this is zero data retention, or falls under their required 30 day retention like Fable and Mythos?

If your company is a certain size or cares about ZDR, you need to be on an Enterprise plan which is API pricing. $300/day here on average.

Here, people tend to forget about enterprise customers. Enterprise is excluded from using these heavily subsidized subscriptions, I know of orgs that are spending around $500k/month for teams of ~100 developers actively using AI.

This is a spot where smaller orgs are getting a definite advantage (both cost and speed). If you're a company with 20 - 50 people, you can probably get away with Claude Teams instead of Claude Enterprise, and pay 10x less in ai costs.

This is the best voice/tone I've seen from any model so far. It's using filler words and phrases in places that normal people would put them, rather than sounding like a corporate customer support agent!

Not having my hair and scalp act as the MIPS system is worth the $20 extra to me.

I think they will already act like that, MIPS or not. Stick a helmet on your head, now wiggle it. It moves really quite a bit, unless you like to wear it so tight you get a headache.

Is it worth helmets that are 100g heavier and don't breathe as well, though?

I think that’s a false dichotomy.

My Lazer Genesis Helmet is a MIPs and it’s the lightest helmet Lazer made at the time.

Much more breathable than my previous helmets too.

You forgot to mention it's also $200+. Some folks buy bicycles for less than that.

There are huge backlogs of folks for imaging... Radiologists aren't exactly sitting around daydreaming all day waiting for a patient.

American or corporate? I'm surprised that corporate talk overseas isn't overly enthusiastic! As an American, most of the stream has sounded very 'California' mixed with corporate.

A lot of corporate speak is developed in the US and then companies all over the world spread it around. Often the adoption happens without deep understanding of the concept, and without adaptation to local realities. And thus it feels much more unnatural.

Do you really prefer webcam + opentrack over the trackir? Asking because I literally have a trackir on the way to me in the mail, and most discussions I could find were at least 2-3 years old.

I have had a TrackIR 5 since pretty much release which I used religiously for flight siming. I also have a tobii eye tracker. I have pretty much stopped using the trackir entirely now in favour of the eye tracker + opentrack. It is incredible, works flawlessly. You have a very small amount less horizontal turn tracking, but honestly your head has to be comically side on for you to notice the difference. Perfectly smooth and predictable. Lately been using it in Nuclear Option and it’s changed the game. TrackIR also works great, and is also flawless, but the key difference is the eye tracker requires zero hardware on your head to work. Even works through glasses.

How does the Tobii + OpenTrack combination work? And why does it not count as zero hardware?

Edit: Oh, zero hardware on the head. Makes sense.

I guess so, given I have my TrackIR in a box!

That said, I have had issues with opentrack that involved some mildly irritating troubleshooting. Namely X4: Foundations didn't work properly with the standard freetrack output regardless of how I configured it, and I ended up needing to use "UDP over network".

I've never had a comparable problem with TrackIR, in spite of using it with a wider variety of titles over a longer period. I do kinda like having it as a backup in case more intractable problems crop up.

Most (all?) 401k plans limit you to a pre-picked list of ETFs and mutual funds you can invest in. Not to mention the standard advice for decades has been 'broad market index fund'.

Afaik this is the first time that an IPO is big that it immediately gets a significant share of a broad market index fund. The rules among the providers are actually quite diverse, so it's complicated. The Rational Reminder podcast discussed it in April: https://rationalreminder.ca/podcast/406

Their conclusion: It might be bad, but so be it. No need to change strategy.

if you want to personally manage your risk you can by taking a small short position or buying long dated puts.

It being in the public markets is something you can deal with if you want.

It being in private markets means you cannot choose to participate in the upside if you want.

The episode was excellent

Good thing is that index funds don't hold stocks at market capitalization but only at free float value. So a company whose shares are mostly held by founders, employees, and strategic investors gets a weight well below its headline valuation.

Most don’t. The one that is the center of much of the controversy around these IPOs, NASDAQ-100, doesn’t use float adjustments.

A lot of people have been using it to passively invest in AI (via QQQ).

It’s nonsensical for a variety of reasons but we live an era of the stock market just being another casino…

I believe it's the opposite :) All major indices (S&P500, MSCI, FTSE...) use free-float adjustments. And recently also NASDAQ - they've changed to cap of 3x the value of free-floating shares.

You are correct. That’s what I intended to say but I see that worded that comment unclearly.

If your plan uses Fidelity you can move your 401k into Brokeragelink and that lets you pick individual stocks. Schwab, TIAA, Alight and some others also have something similar.

Definitely not all. Look into 401(k) self-directed brokerage accounts.

Our population problems, in that we need immigration to avoid population decline? Our total fertility rate is 1.6.

Exactly that. And really, it's still not going to be enough.

Which is, notably, well under replacement.
