I find F way more intuitive for weather. The larger scale helps. 100 is hot. 0 is quite cold. Boiling point is irrelevant. 32 freezing is the only thing that feels arbitrary.

People keep saying it’s so an app can resize to the full interior screen but none of the marketing photos actually have this. So its hard to say “what a genius masterstroke by Apple.” Most have the closed screen plus another view. Or the lo

Are you saying servers keep 90% of what you pay? Tip and otherwise? What country? How do you know? How could a business possibly operate in this reality?

If nothing else, it definitively proves AI produces real value. I hear the contrary a lot but Im not convinced anyone actually believes it.

They made money by selling components. It was never a good business model. Im fine with saying AI killed it — its not a bad look for AI.

Yeah this is basically my reaction. 9/10 use it because it's obviously the best solution. The real point is what's between the lines: A growing number of European techies are not optimizing for the best technical solution. At

I have no idea how people can overlook this. I mean I have some idea. A sort of “enemy of my enemy is my friend” meets “leopards ate my face.”

Yeah the retort ("Well Trump is more corrupt") shows it. Both things can be true.

But the poll asks if corruption is widespread. Trump could be 100x as corrupt as Biden and it says nothing about if corruption is widespread.

From 2024 -> 2026 Republican: 88->83 Democrat: 57->91 Republicans barely changed. It's insane than Democrats were so low 2 years ago.

I somewhat agree, especially because things are still very dynamic. Who knows what access to meaningful amount of usage looks like in 1 year. Unfortunately open models are still not as good as frontier ones and the hardware costs for a simi
