<p>>Everyone's app should just be an API that you can use with a chatbot.<p>I see this sentiment a lot, but UI has a greater purpose than just serving the customer needs, it also be used to shape them.<p>Imagine if instead of going to the grocery store, you called a number and told them what you needed. Sometimes you don't know everything you need. Sometimes you end up discovering something new and buying it even if you didn't plan on it.</p>

<p>You're moving the goalposts here now to make it seem like the baseline-acceptable lifestyle for someone in the Bay is to live directly in San Francisco and have a short commute in a desirable area with adequate space.<p>By the way, the Bay is bigger than SF. People commute from Milbrae, Daly City, Richmond into SF every day by train and it takes less than an hour.</p>

<p>So the solution to convince the public that these companies aren’t “looking for new ways to screw them over” is to try to go into biomedical research.<p>I guess it’ll be great for Anthropic to have the cure for cancer, but what’s that gonna mean for people with cancer? Funny how he doesn’t talk about that part.</p>

<p>> What action can Iran take today that they couldn’t take a year ago?<p>Remove of sanctions, ability to monitize traffic through the strait, guarantees against aggression and a cessation of military bases in their region. IMO, a much stronger position than they were in a year ago.</p>

<p>Wealth doesn't go straight up, it bubbles up.<p>And thinking about bubbles, imagine what happens when the GenAI one pops. The wealth some new billionaires had will go up in smoke, their assets will go on sale, and they'll be gobbled up by the old billionaires.</p>

<p>> Then the next question is why does wealth, in practically all industrious countries seem to distribute disproportionally and not uniformly?<p>It's simply because money is compoundable. The more money you have the more you can make, and the more you make means less other people have.</p>

<p>You're just saying this because you're American and accustomed to it.<p>To you, a 0-100 scale makes sense but to me it doesn't because 0f (-17c) is way rarer of a temp than 100f (38c).<p>Anyway, from the metric perspective, most people look at it like... 0 is coat and boots weather, + 10 degrees is jacket weather, + 10 degrees is t-shirt weather, and + 10 degrees is hot. IMO, using "freezing" as the reference kinda makes sense...</p>

<p>It doesn’t make sense to base your car purchase on hypotheticals like this. As it stands right now, costs plus infrastructure make electric cars less desirable to own, and that’s why if you drive around Germany, you’ll notice the vast majority of cars are diesel hatchbacks.</p>
