QoL features is where WebStorm shines! I don't look forward to when I have to open vscode instead sometimes.

Just the floating and ephemeral "Search in files" modal in Jetbrain IDEs would convince me to switch from any other IDE.

From twitter: the cost of cleaning up the oil spill is much larger than the damage repair on the ship which drives up insurance rates

I don't know why we don't build with concrete like the rest of the world ... that should give us a higher noise isolation than wood

As a reference for anyone interested - the cost is estimated to be $10 billion for EACH 500MW data center - this includes the cost of the chips and the data center infra.

A consequence of tools like Sora and Google Flow is that there will be an increase in amateurs creating professional quality content for comparatively cheap. So a thousand such shows (probably many more) isn't in the realm of the impossible!

Try the PayPal Debit card if you are in the US (and I think UK) .... you choose the category each month for a 5% cashback.

they don't do anything special for frozen items .... it's just as if you get it in bags from the store. .... add in additional time for neighborhood deliveries if any ..... usually they arrive semi-frozen .... you can track the delivery driver from the store (where they hopefully keep it in a cold room) to your home... for me it takes them from 20 mins to 1 hour for delivery ...

For good or for bad, I've switched to Walmart for many of my orders as well as home delivery of groceries now and then and they have been decent. It's good to have competitors who are catching up.

$10 billion is small change compare to the estimated all-inclusive cost of $10 billion for EACH 500MW data center ... $200 billion for 10GW.

It looks like NVDIA looking to move up the value chain to have a stake in the even higher margin/addressable market instead of simply selling the tools.

For another sense of scale: A 500MW AI-centric datacenter could cost $10 billion or more to build. So 10GW is $200 billion!
