They are. Isn’t this why they’re trying to get regulatory capture?

Re:Running local models is good now

I’m glad people are looking into this because I do think it’s the future. However, why would you not take advantage of the heavily subsidized frontier models while you can. It’s obvious that they’re gonna have to raise prices at which point it might make sense to consider local models, but not today.

The Grok app had over 100 million downloads in 2025, over 60 million active users, and generated $350 million in revenue. That’s a lot of people being forced to use it.

Re:Apple introduces the new iPad Air, powered by M4

Not my experience. I have iPad Pro and I only use it for workouts. It sits on my workout machine and once or twice a week I try to watch a ~45 min episode while doing cardio. It’s always dead and needs constant charging. Never last more than 3 days without needing charging.

Interesting to call out that it’s not designed for pets. I know several people with AirTags on their pet collars.

Re:Is Health Insurance Even Worth It Anymore?
on Monday November 03, 2025 @11:44AM (#45801085)
Isn’t idea of insurance at odds with the idea of a pre-existing condition? Like car insurance is a hedge against a crash. We don’t let people buy it after totaling their car.
We really need an alternative system to cover pre-existing and not force it into insurance.
