Did you even read what he said he liked about it?

> My primary goal in doing this was to support decentralized social media, and to continue to engage with X but in a way that distributes network effect rather than locking it in. But in my months of using Firefly, I found that it also has a different effect: I feel much better using it.

> I suspect the primary reason is that while Firefly allows you to tweet, and see other people's tweets, it is missing one central part of the X interface: The Algorithm™.

What he likes isn't being able to spam multiple networks, he likes the change in the content presented to him.

And the Ford Fathom

Oracle isn’t part of the MAG7 and isn’t nearly as low risk as the others. Alphabet had nearly $450b in trailing twelve-month revenue. Oracle was like $70b.

If AI didn’t pay off, Alphabet could service the debt without issue. Oracle would be sold for parts.

> This whole "but government is inefficient" argument has never convinced me.

I hate this argument for a different reason. There are entire classes of problems where monetary efficiency is not the primary metrics we should optimize for, areas where things like resilience, stability, and fairness all need to come before the purely economic considerations.

Can you turn some of that into a dollar measurement? Sometimes, but not as easily as a P&L, and the P&L wins.

I’m targeting maximum debt by about 2030. I’d rather have all the stuff I want while we try and build a new version of a functioning economy than have a ton of cash saved up.

Meh, judge the ideas, not just who they came from. He has cited some articles if you’d like to read them and evaluate the info yourself.

Wouldn’t that comparison be quite a bit closer vs the 17 Pro? I thought that was a decent camera upgrade year but I can’t keep track.

I would argue it was moving towards a more Apple-like distribution model that has hurt them so much.

The 5G standard is a bit of a mess. In the US we heavily rolled out 5G NSA, which means you still have a 4G network core with both 4G and 5G radios at the edge. You get a chunk of the performance benefits without having to replace the network core first.

This usually has similar (in practice) performance characteristics to LTE Advanced.

5G SA is an actual, end to end 5G network. The two biggest wins here for an end user are reduced latency (a big focus in 5G) and reduced power usage (the phone doesn’t need a simultaneous 4G connection).

Is the speech to text happening on the watch and then the transcription is getting summarized on the phone? If so, the argument may not be as clear cut IMO.

Replying to you again because I would like to know what you think of the evidence presented above? Maybe download the data and try and run it yourself? What info do you need to see that the temperature is changing?
