Is the reduced profitability in the room with us now?

Devastation? Are you and I reading the same financial reports?

You can't drive a BYD because your government tariffs them to hell. I can drive one in my country, and their safety record is great.

It certainly started that way, but the bloat is getting horrendous. Having said that, I still use it weekly.

What is it about America that makes this normal/common? Here in NZ I've literally never once received a spam text.

How has it stopped being functional? As far as I know it's still just as functional as always?

Surely you realise that no insurance company will continually indemnify a company which knowingly and repeatedly breaks the law, resulting in losses to the insurance company? Surely you understand that this isn't how insurance works?

Why would American taxpayers be paying more because of a settlement against a private company? Shouldn't this contribute to the tax take, causing taxpayers to pay LESS?

I cannot imagine being so hostile towards curiosity. You approach this as "I already know everything there is to know, and therefore this documentary (that I haven't seen) has no value".

Nothing Musk says is credible.

Without competition Valve would never have bothered making Steam faster. Steam hasn't meaningfully changed in a decade, and feels well out of date. I celebrate Epic forcing Valve to finally make some improvements. Turns out they could do it in a day all along.

I agree entirely that shopping on Amazon is immoral, but it's hard to understand how that extends to ALL online shopping.

Why is it immoral to order things online?

Isn't this a little reductive? I'm not an expert on LLM/AI technology, but isn't the secret sauce the reasoning layer? Isn't that what makes Claude et al so much more powerful than a more "vanilla" LLM? That's what they're trying to protect in this post, which seems awfully reasonable?

Doesn't that entirely depend on the energy mix going into the data centres in question? How can you possibly know that?
