Nobody is arguing whether or not Apple could build the box. Apple could do almost anything that another company does. "Why doesn't Apple build their own planes to ship iPhones". Well, obviously because it's way cheaper, faster, and rational to use the perfectly good existing planes/boxes/you-name-it.

Do you mind sharing what your spend is like on Openrouter? I pay for the $200 Claude Code plan just so I never have to think about usage or feel like I'm paying per prompt. But I nearly max out my usage each week and I have no idea what that would cost me on Openrouter. I hear a lot of people are using MiniMax of Openrouter. Is that what you do?

You buy that? If he really did say that, it's just a mixture of cope and a passive aggressive attempt at a jab.

Since when? I've never understood AGI to require that.

$500 for 2-3 years is great. And it will last much longer than that in reality.

It's pretty plain to see that the Neo eats any competitors lunch at that price point. It isn't close.

On the contrary, nobody here is suggesting Microsoft isn't really diverse. They're suggesting that Apple is going to start to eat into their SMB market.

Nobody at Microsoft is saying, "we don't care if Apple chips away at SMB because we have Call of Duty"

So you hope the people keeping you safe continue to put themselves in danger for you. Got it.

Sure. But they can be way better than human drivers with only cameras. Visibility is rarely the cause of car crashes. Reaction time. Decision making. Follow distance. Speed. All these things are way more important to get right than "seeing through fog"

> In the USA he would be bankrupt (or dead)

Why? I live in the US. I have the best healthcare coverage in the world. I pay absolutely nothing for it, ever. No matter the cost. And I have access tot he best doctors, innovations, and technology in the world.

Tell me again why your friend would be dead? It sounds like you really have a poor understanding of American health care.

You just invented a hypothetical situation in your head then drew conclusions from it. In my version, the other car misses the kid entirely.

Your experience couldn't be more different than mine. I love Pixelmator Pro. One of my favorite apps on my computer. Super quick and snappy. Does what I need it to. Which doesn't mean it does what everyone needs it to. I get that it isn't a Photoshop replacement. But not everyone needs a Photoshop replacement.

New comment by Petersipoi in "Ozempic shows anti-aging effects in trial"

Petersipoi — Tue, 05 Aug 2025 19:29:03 +0000

Just about every single adult woman in my wife's extended family is on Ozempic. None of them are obese at all. Or diabetic. They are all using it to "lose a few pounds" (we're talking like less than 20 pounds; Yes, as you might expect, there are some unrealistic beauty/success standards in my wife's family). So I think there are a lot of people who are annoyed by that, because of the message it sends to completely healthy-weight girls/young women who don't look like professional super models in a swimsuit.

Since we have young daughters, that aspect of Ozempic really bothers my wife. Though she would have no issue with obese/diabetic people using it to get healthy.

Personally I do think it is a miracle drug and I'm glad people are getting healthy because of it.

There is a big difference between fun exercise and actually creating something that competes with the apps you can download. Building something on par with Claude Desktop, ChatGPT Desktop, etc. would be a lot of work. And I don't think the payoff would be there for most people.

Only 7,269 have ever summited Everest. I suspect if it was as easy as you make it out to be, that number would be way, way higher.
