Yeah, it sounds like a reasonable deal to me.

> Windows 11 Pro Edition > Windows 11 Deluxe Edition

This sounds insane to a Mac user.

Because all what consumer hardware companies can do is copy Apple.

> Microsoft never had any clue what it takes to make a console - a console.

The 85 million people who've bought the Xbox 360 would disagree.

YouTube's automatic and forced AI translation has to be the worst feature of this decade.

As a person mostly using AI for everyday tasks and business-related research, it's very impressive how quickly they've progressed. I would consider all models before 2.0 totally unusable. Their web interface, however, is so much worse than that of the ChatGPT macOS app.

I've experienced the opposite. Recently, I've been getting amazing results from Gemini running 2.5 Pro.

I run this app 24/7, mainly for the 'High Resolution' option. It's a lifesaver if you use a Mac without one of the expensive Apple screens.

In Japan/Taiwan they seem to be widely accepted. Most places in Japan that accept VISA/MC, also accept AmEx.

I'm quite curious about why you hated it so much.

Last year, I quit my very stable job in academia to join a brand new company as the employee number 1. I think that is as far as I can go even in this hypothetical scenario.

Around 40. Most are tech news and tech blogs.

Shouldn't TSMC be the most valuable company in the world then?

I agree. And I believe that the value will keep declining.

Nvidia is heavily overpriced at the moment. My personal prediction is that in the long term, Nvidia can expect a similar situation to what happened to Tesla, which involves a relatively slow price correction after the AI hype diminishes. The EV hype slowly died out, and we can see it reflected in the prices of all EV companies.

> How much one employee is paid is often less important to him than how his pay compares with that of other employees.

Is this actually true of most people?
