Just watching the live-stream, does SpaceX only hire young guys in their 20's?

I hate this default behavior on the green button. I can count the number of times I've intentionally wanted a full-screen app on one hand.

The tech bros lining up at Donald’s inauguration to kiss his ring suggests otherwise.

If a gun is just a tool, is an atom bomb just a tool?

Does anyone look at this debt and believe it will ever get paid off? It seems more realistic that everyone's waiting for some doomsday WW3 scenario where we just say ehh let's reset everyone back to zero.

Doesn't that mean you need to distribute the app (TestFlight) before you can preview your app? How do you test locally without the simulators?

I sort of agree, but within the same model I expect the reasoning effort to be reflected in the quality of output and that's basically how it played out. When you're comparing different models, then it's just who benchmaxxed the best and there's not a lot of value there.

Time to dump this test. Probably not a coincidence every version has the same rolling green hills, gradient blue sky, sun in the corner, etc.

Whenever someone says America can do great things, I don't think of battleships, fighter jets, or AI models, I think of Costco.

Think about it all the time. Can’t stand how AI has made everyone at a company a pretend expert at everything and discussions are now just everyone’s AI responding back and forth to one other, and nobody seems to notice or care.

Maybe you could still use this as a CAPTCHA, if it solves it, don't let them in.

Computers got cheap due to necessity. The necessity is still there and raising prices is a rug pull.
