  • They did a better job by offering an unsustainable variety of programming from all the studios in one place at the same time. All of the competitors at the time only offered financially viable services.

    I believe in ai now because I looked at the Netflix balance sheet and thought. “There is NO WAY they could become profitable they are spending wayyy to much money and have way to much debt. It’s financially impossible to get out of this hole”

    I understand how it worked and how it could not have. There are a lot of ways this could fail on AI but there are some real ways forward. AI has a similar application reach as the internet. It’s world changing.

    I see why meta and google are going in hard. They lived though the rise and fall of blockbuster. They saw Sony release 3 different steaming services before after and during Netflix. This is the disruption for the current generation of tech and their revenue model.

    Someone is going to ‘Win’ AI and a lot of others will loose.





  • This is why I worded my question in a specific way, my challenges getting them to read are absolutely a parenting issue as opposed to an education one.

    I don’t yell at my kids, but they seem conditioned to only respond to being yelled at. getting them to do things they aren’t inclined to takes a lot of effort on my part and being consistent in that effort while working full time, cooking ,shopping and driving them to activities is more than I have managed so far. I have read how important consistently is but just have not achieved it yet.

    Wrapping back around to the ‘class’ idea I was going to take them to the library for each lesson to set the environment for learning.





  • I’m specifically looking to create a short course on how to learn, focusing on evidence based learning h study techniques; spaced repetition , the ebbinghaus curve and active recall.

    I’ve already been using these techniques with them, though without formal introductions, I’m looking now for them to formally think about studying as the task as opposed to a sub task,

    I’ve got an idea of making the lessons 3x - week they would be layered with the first 15 minutes being the whole lesson for the younger kid and half the lesson for the older one. The second half would be the same concepts as the first with more depth.

    The whole ‘ course ‘ would be 4 weeks But man oh man actually making a lesson for that much stuff, plus activities to reinforce it at appropriate levels is daunting,




  • What is the form factor? See if you can just get a new case for it. You can always under clock a system to make it use less power, workstation cases are quieter than servers.

    Noise is almost always the fans. Servers are supposed to take a little space as possible and depend on super high airflow from a cold room.

    With the cost of components you are going to have a hard time selling a system to buy a different one. 64gb of ram is pretty sweet for a home server. You can do all sorts of silly stuff and still have a responsive system.
