Loyal Ferrari customers will buy them so they can get allocations of future more desirable models

Some people will buy it as a flex because it’s expensive

The profit margin on these must be insane

They’ll sell enough to make it worth everyone’s while

The high end market is flush with cash and loves to spend

It’s shocking how much better 3.1 is than 3.5 flash

The benchmarks used don’t really give a full story

Gmail makes 10s of billions annually based on best estimates

They aren’t doing this for free

Great domain and decent layout.

I will try out the free tier, but would love to see pricing where I can just buy credits instead of paying monthly

WINTER AND GLOVES!

Yes it’s a first world proven that I have to take gloves off to turn on my heated seats but buttons made sure stupid problems like this never happened in the first place

All those models and the site is not responsive on mobile. Ironic.

In Canada there is a database of a lot of case law here: https://www.canlii.org/

Theoretically speaking if someone scraped all of it and added it to something like this open source Mike project would that then be a much better tool for lawyers?

I’m blown away by how good it is lately

This is a market where hyper growth is important

Loss of customers is the wrong direction

Nothing

Stock market at all time highs

Miami houses selling north of $150,000,000.00

No one cares about that crisis anymore

The markets keep ripping no matter what

Just some hiccups along the way

Same! I thought people were exaggerating how bad Claude has gotten until it deleted several files by accident yesterday

Codex isn’t as pretty in output but gets the job done much more consistently

I hope this doesn’t get lost in the sea of comments

I just set shorts to 0 minutes

Tried to watch a short Got the message saying I’ve reached my limit and when I press X in the top right

I CAN WATCH SHORTS AGAIN

That is the most half assed attempt to limit my scrolling I could think of

Wow!

Not all businesses depend on milliseconds being shaved off the loading times

For example: Ticketmaster makes a ton of money and their site is complete dogshit.

Overspending for the sake of overspending is not smart in life or business.

Love openrouter I can use cheap models without having to have an api at a bunch of different providers and can use the expensive models when im in a pinch and am maxed out from claude or codex

well worth the 5% they take

I think it is naive to think that artificial super intelligence will be controlled by anyone.

If it is smarter than all humans combined at everything why would any humans collectively control the ai?

New comment by r0fl in "Show HN: I made my fitness dashboard public and Apple Health needs an API"

r0fl — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 22:50:05 +0000

My first closed rings are from February 2016

Last time I checked my apple health data was 4 gigs

Would love a way to access just some of it via api

It’s too big to load or worth with

I would to build something to analyze the data or build a leaderboard that’s more than just the activity sharing

Is it possible to just export my streaks for example and workouts

The simple data so I can compete with friends or strangers on who did the longest hike this month?
