Michael Fairley @m12y.bsky.social · 22/08/2026A big factor here is that inference can be batched very cheaply. Epsilon marginal cost to serve the N+1th simultaneous query (vs the 1st), and this greatly favors centralized serving of even small open weight models 020
Michael Fairley @m12y.bsky.social · 05/06/2026- S&P 500 is in a pickle because they are both “the stable mature important companies” and “a (historically) cheaper way to approximate a total market index”, so they have the most tension 010
Michael Fairley @m12y.bsky.social · 05/06/2026- total market funds (VTSAX) want to own the whole market without a ton of weird rules - QQQ is clearly “I want to own the big tech companies”, and it would be weird if it didn’t include one of the biggest tech companies 110
Michael Fairley @m12y.bsky.social · 05/06/2026VTSAX is 5 days! There’s a range of options here that aren’t obviously better/worse than each other, and I think a lot of it comes down to branding: 110
Michael Fairley @m12y.bsky.social · 01/01/2026Does "leaned too far into randomness" mean "I felt like I had to guess to progress"? IIRC, once you learn all the rules, every board is solvable without guessing 110
Michael Fairley @m12y.bsky.social · 01/01/2026Congratulations!!! Everything you said in there rings incredibly true for me: so much work, but it’s 100% worth it; free time == gone; no more light packing; so small. I hope you have a wonderful time during this initial bonding period and finding your new normal 110
Michael Fairley @m12y.bsky.social · 27/06/2025FYI the "(Read the rest here)" in the Patreon post isn't linked 000
Michael Fairley @m12y.bsky.social · 08/03/2025Wait! This is exactly why I prefer them to be on the right 😂 100
Michael Fairley @m12y.bsky.social · 02/03/2025IMO they have the best OS and UX by far. They also have the digital cross-gen thing figured out way better than Sony 120
Michael Fairley @m12y.bsky.social · 11/02/2025(This is probably not true of the 3-person Team Deku server) 020
Michael Fairley @m12y.bsky.social · 11/02/2025In just about every Discord server I'm in, there are exactly two people who, if kicked, would instantly make it a better place 110
Michael Fairley @m12y.bsky.social · 25/01/2025It is so, so good, in so many ways. The only show I’ve been very excited to watch in years. 010
Michael Fairley @m12y.bsky.social · 22/12/2024What's fun is to try to find the Unity asset store template they're both based on 010
Michael Fairley @m12y.bsky.social · 28/11/2024“LLMs don’t work” continues to be the most bizarre take 000
Michael Fairley @m12y.bsky.social · 24/11/2024And now I've just discovered that they added wake-from-Bluetooth support... but not for the LCD model 😭 000
Michael Fairley @m12y.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Why was Steam Deck getting HDMI-CEC support not the biggest gaming news story of the year?!?! I completely missed this when it happened over the summer, and it’d long been my biggest gripe with the Deck. 100
