DubbaEwwTeeEff @dubbaewwteeeff.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Yep, that's pretty common especially for online-only companies. The mattress industry has very weird economic incentives because its product is extremely expensive to ship, extremely expensive to buy (especially luxury mattresses), and extremely cheap to make. 110
DubbaEwwTeeEff @dubbaewwteeeff.bsky.social · 05/10/2026That's definitely a thing everywhere, but it's so much worse with tech and venture capital involved. Just obscene amounts of money thrown at whatever the latest buzzword is, over and over again until the next recession. 130

DubbaEwwTeeEff @dubbaewwteeeff.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I mostly agree, but I'm not sure they even thought that far. I don't think the average startup business plan really even considers profitability anymore. Pretty much every startup I've ever heard details about ran on some variation of this: 240
DubbaEwwTeeEff @dubbaewwteeeff.bsky.social · 04/10/2026With bespoke inference hardware, cheaper models, and a significant price increase there's still probably a good value proposition for coding, and for certain hard-to-automate work like cross-checking hand-filled paperwork. The rest of it just isn't sustainable and I don't see how it ever could be. 131
DubbaEwwTeeEff @dubbaewwteeeff.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Even the pay versions are *heavily* subsidized relative to the actual compute cost.

DubbaEwwTeeEff @dubbaewwteeeff.bsky.social · 02/10/2026What legislation Talarico would support isn't the issue. Finding common ground with Rs on this legitimizes their position. It makes attacking trans rights more socially acceptable. That makes anti-trans candidates and legislation more likely whether he'd support them or not. 230
![Two paragraphs of James Watson's Wikipedia page. In 1994, Watson became president of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Francis Collins took over the role as director of the Human Genome Project.[57] In 1997, Watson was quoted in The Sunday Telegraph, stating: "If you could find the gene which determines sexuality and a woman decides she doesn't want a homosexual child, well, let her."[63] The biologist Richard Dawkins wrote a letter to The Independent claiming that Watson's position was misrepresented by The Sunday Telegraph article, and that Watson would equally consider the possibility of having a heterosexual child to be just as valid as any other reason for abortion, to emphasize that Watson is in favor of allowing choice.[64]
On the issue of obesity, Watson was quoted in 2000, saying: "Whenever you interview fat people, you feel bad, because you know you're not going to hire them."[65] Watson repeatedly supported genetic screening and genetic engineering in public lectures and interviews, arguing that stupidity is a disease and the "really stupid" bottom 10% of people should be cured.[66] He also suggested that beauty could be genetically engineered, saying in 2003, "People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty. I think it would be great."[66][67]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:m7f5le3sq4bfigw52pmwlvhe/bafkreifuakhctdu5e5ylokm3airhvb67iukmci7rorv2bc52xl7cotafii)
![Two more paragraphs.
In his 2007 memoir, Avoid Boring People: Lessons from a Life in Science, Watson describes his academic colleagues as "dinosaurs", "deadbeats", "fossils", "has-beens", "mediocre", and "vapid".[95] Steve Shapin in Harvard Magazine noted that Watson had written an unlikely "Book of Manners", telling about the skills needed at different times in a scientist's career; he wrote Watson was known for aggressively pursuing his own goals at the university. E. O. Wilson once described Watson as "the most unpleasant human being I had ever met", but in a later TV interview said that he considered them friends and their rivalry at Harvard "old history" (when they had competed for funding in their respective fields).[96][97]
In the epilogue to the memoir Avoid Boring People, Watson alternately attacks and defends former Harvard University president Lawrence Summers, who stepped down in 2006 due in part to his remarks about women and science.[98] Watson also states in the epilogue, "Anyone sincerely interested in understanding the imbalance in the representation of men and women in science must reasonably be prepared at least to consider the extent to which nature may figure, even with the clear evidence that nurture is strongly implicated."[67][95]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:m7f5le3sq4bfigw52pmwlvhe/bafkreibh5byzre4ksbn6lyjtkgnsl5x65fclzpkzbtoz6hbymlqbyyt6su)
![Another paragraph.
At a conference in 2000, Watson suggested a link between skin color and sex drive, hypothesizing that dark-skinned people have stronger libidos.[65][99] His lecture argued that extracts of melanin—which gives skin its color—had been found to boost subjects' sex drive. "That's why you have Latin lovers", he said, according to people who attended the lecture. "You've never heard of an English lover. Only an English Patient."[100] Watson also said that stereotypes associated with racial and ethnic groups have a genetic basis: Jews being intelligent, Chinese being intelligent but not creative because of selection for conformity, and Indians being servile because of selection under caste endogamy.[101] Regarding intelligence differences between blacks and whites, Watson has asserted that "all our social policies are based on the fact that their (blacks) intelligence is the same as ours (whites) – whereas all the testing says not really ... people who have to deal with black employees find this not true."[102]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:m7f5le3sq4bfigw52pmwlvhe/bafkreicrykbwy7cea66gp72jzicvghyjxbnabaarqhofxy64llrls2bm3e)
![Yet another.
Watson repeatedly asserted that differences in average measured IQ between blacks and whites are due to genetics.[103][104][105] In early October 2007, he was interviewed by Charlotte Hunt-Grubbe at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL). Watson discussed his view that Africans are less intelligent than Westerners.[106][103][107] Watson said his intention was to promote science, not racism, but some UK venues canceled his appearances,[108] and Watson canceled the rest of his tour.[109][110][111][112] An editorial in Nature said that his remarks were "beyond the pale" but expressed a wish that the tour had not been canceled so that Watson would have had to face his critics in person, encouraging scientific discussion on the matter.[113] Because of the controversy, the board of trustees at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory suspended Watson's administrative responsibilities.[114] Watson issued an apology,[115] then retired at age 79 from CSHL from what the lab called "nearly 40 years of distinguished service".[59][116] Watson attributed his retirement to his age and to circumstances that he could never have anticipated or desired.[117][118][119]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:m7f5le3sq4bfigw52pmwlvhe/bafkreihh52zy24sngvvmcfabknx6mbecicgqpzvcos7durtwfzistcc7be)
