You mean that after multiple years, 30% of teens haven't even ever used an LLM? Those kids probably don't even know what an LLM means since using google is now using an LLM.

Isn't it also because white rice is more shelf stable?

So you want porn on every web site and have kids prove that they're kids by issuing their school card (because they won't have a real id yet) so the porn get hidden for them or so they get entirely banned from the system?

Nobody's ever gonna show an id to get banned from a website.

Every single time I order from KFC, I get an e-mail by a hot girl in my area. You think I can sue them for free chicken wing buckets?

And his point is that's a false dichotomy.

> are now worthless once the batteries are dead

13 years old dead luxury cars are worthless, yes, especially when the tech is quickly evolving. That doesn't say anything about how long it takes for them to die or how reliable the tech is.

The Tesla Model S has been out for almost 13 years, so you can already see it.

Your phone doesn't have liquid cooling temp management and is probably recharged daily. With a car that has 300 miles range, a lot of people probably only do a full cycle every week.

VEQT is made of what, 4 underlying ETFS? You could just buy the 3 index funds that don't follow an american index and balance yourself once a year.

Costco has to be the most well loved stores, it's a strange one to pick to make arguments against grocery stores.

org-mode is just much more complicated to implement though and just contains so much. it's also a todo app. It also lets you run code like a python notebook. it can show you your tasks in a calendar.

I've used "org-mode" todo apps on android, but people complain they can't really use it because it doesn't implement everything.

The advantage of the core markdown syntax is that you know it works everywhere and it works everywhere because it's small and easy to implement.

Even grocery stores fit your definition of scalpers.

But this is even more different because they don't even sell the housing to you, they rent it to you. The service they offer is that you don't have to have capital to buy a house and you don't have to maintain it and if you move, you don't have to sell it and pay sales taxes.

The stock market is forward looking. If people already expected that BYD would sell 4.6M vehicles in 2025, it was already accounted for in the stock valuation. For the stock to go up in price, they need to do even better than people expect.

If that's really the goal, would it make sense for the government to subsidize cars with military money? Because otherwise, car buyers are basically subsidizing national defense by buying overpriced cars.

Going down 10 times faster seems like a really bad trade off for 2 times the capacity. That means your battery will only lst 1/5 or 20% as long.

I imagine it means a normal hybrid, in contrast to plug-in hybrids.

Normal hybrid will at least regain charge when you brake (and maybe from the gas engine?). You don't actively recharge it.

I like WSL, but their search bars have gotten worse which really kills any good will I have towards them.

On my work computer, the search bar can't even find Intellij which is installed in a totally normal way. It's even in the same folder as clion in the program files and it can find that one. I also had a problem where the file explorer couldn't find a file by name and it made me look like an idiot.

You know what feature my menu bar has though? I tells me when the s&p 500 goes down in value to try to make me panic sell. That's a feature I really want in my work computer's os menu /s.

Also when I clicked on the time, it used to show me a calendar, but now it shows me a pomodoro app?

I don't want more features in notepad, what I want is the os to do basic stuff, like finding my programs and files or show me the time, right.

I interpret it more that they're losing money on it and are trying to limit the bleeding.

You even have to time the market twice : when it'll go down so you sell just before and when it'll go up so you don't lose on the gains.
