So it's failing epically because it generated a tricycle instead of a bicycle?

Amazing, a company that does poorly in a benchmark says that benchmark is useless...

I don't know how you can compare it to smoking.

There is no way to have a healthy relationship with smoking. It's always damaging your lungs and such no matter what the positives are.

A person can absolutely have a perfectly healthy relationship with social media where there are 0 negative effects and only positive effects.

Combining the WiFi with the router never made sense to me. Routers can last a long time and WiFi gets new versions with new capabilities every few years.

I would rather just connect a separate wireless AP to my switch, preferably also with PoE. And then I can upgrade and expand that as needed while leaving the perfectly fine router alone.

OK, but EVs are a fraction of their cars... And the OP didn't say EVs, so I was confused.

GM has not dropped CarPlay. I just checked out some 2026 GM vehicles (Chevy) and they list CarPlay.

Number five is alive!

Is it weird that we don't have a way to update the system without rebooting by this day and age?

I think there are things in Linux like live kernel patching (kexec, ksplice), but why by 2026 is this sort of architecture of live system updates not a common or included feature yet?

People hate updates and having to reboot and have downtime right? Security updates to core systems are more important than ever now too. So why hasn't this problem been tackled I wonder?

Wouldn't it be great if our systems could update without us having to reboot and interrupt our workloads?

Maybe it's not for you? I don't pay, so I can't even use Opus... So this is an upgrade over Sonnet 4.6 for me.

I knew I paid more per GB in 2018 for DDR4 than even today's inflated prices of DDR5...

Maybe get your governments and citizens to innovate and create their own instead of relying so heavily on other countries. I thought that's the direction other countries were trying to go.

But they might keep extending it...

Just bought a new iPad A16 128GB from Staples website a few minutes ago for $279

What about those ones where you need to slide some piece of a puzzle in. I don't see those mentioned at all. Are they effective?

Why does EVERYTHING needs to be a subscription?...

I save for retirement yes. I only spend about 30% of my income to live and other other 70% I save for retirement.

I don't feel like I'm being cheap or limiting myself. I have hobbies that I enjoy, computers, home theater, pickleball, scuba diving, hiking, biking. I travel a lot for fun, backpacking and trips around the world to see cool cities, hike mountains and experience different cultures.

I don't find my job particularly demanding or stressful, it's flexible, the people I work with are nice. I just spend what I feel I need to spend to do what I want to enjoy myself and the rest I put in investments.

I know I can't take it with me, but it just means I will be able to retire that much sooner.

I get a 3% raise every year as the default, aside from promotions and such, and the amount it gains me is about 3x higher than my cost of living increases have been these past years, so it really does not feel like I am making less. I am living my same life that I enjoy and saving a bit more and more each year.

This never made sense to me. Doesn't this assume you are spending ALL your income though?

If I make 100K and get a 3% increase, that's $3000 more.

But if I only spend 30K to live, and my living expenses go up 5%, that's only a $1500 increase to my living expenses while I earned $3000 more that year. So how is that a pay cut if I actually have even more money left over that basically just goes into my investment account then.

I have 0 interest in wearing glasses on my head all the time though.

People spend several thousand on Lasik so they don't have to wear glasses all the time.

I don't see glasses as the ultimate form factor that everyone uses.

I don't understand why people take shortcuts in school. You pay a LOT of money to be there to learn. Taking shortcuts seems completely counterintuitive to me.

Either they have a E5-2620 V2 from 13 years ago, or they have DDR4, not DDR3. The V3 and V4 only support DDR4.

So what's the house comparison for me then? If people are going to say owning is always better, then what should I be owning instead of renting my studio?

I ride in my friends Model Y Performance with HW 4.5 from time to time and it always gets us from point A to point B without any interventions that I have seen yet and this is in Wisconsin, and yes it was working well with some snow and ice conditions this past winter. It seems really impressive to me at least.

It doesn't look like they are developing self-driving?

What other company is developing self-driving at a level of sophistication as Tesla that you can actually buy in a consumer vehicle?

Somehow I wouldn't be surprised if Messenger had more LOC than an early OS...

Software today has gotten too complex and bloated in a lot of cases.

Yeah, I was going to say this too.

I write code in my spare time for fun and hobby and personal skill development and I don't use AI at all. AI isn't ruining anything for me.

Like anything I am sure there are good and bad experiences.

I mean both my pay and rent go up by about 3% each year, barring some position change, but 3% of a 100K salary is $3000 more a year. 3% of a 650/mo rent like I pay is $230 more a year. So not even 10% of my raise is eaten by the rent increase.

I really only need a small apartment, anything more would be a waste for me. I just need a place to cook/eat and sleep, and keep my things.

I suppose you do say family. For me I don't really plan on having a family, so it semes like renting will always be a better option. Perhaps mainly because they don't really make houses small enough to match the cost of renting, or at least not in the area I want to be in.

Why shouldn't I compare though? I have looked at buying a house multiple times and I can't make it make sense personally. It's so much more expensive and more work. I just need a place to cook and sleep and keep my things.

I mean my heat is included in my rent, it doesn't change no matter how much I use it. I pay 650/mo in rent including heat and water and I have it like 75F in the winter...
