    I'm guessing investors understand that there's high probability of the numbers being 'optimistic'.

    so, it looks like all the AI features run locally (via DaVinci AI Neural Engine)?

    your friend should make a blog post about that. People like that should be exposed.

    It could just be me, but the usecases they're trying to solve for always seem... out of touch from reality. Either they live in their own bubbles where their lives revolve around c…

    The music video is great too... the slow build up of the song towards the 3:10 minute mark, with him running towards you. Love it. So thankful I was old enough to be around to watc…

    current 3/4 series had near perfect interior until 2023 interior update.

    Yup. You can actually buy several European airlines with that kind of money. For example, you can buy KLM Air france for less than $3B. It is a profitable business that does $30B i…

    yeah the more people who use it means less competitive edge you have. Benefits get devalued. And you're back to square one.

    100% agree. As someone who used both Mac and PC for 30+ years, and still use both, Mac OS (and iOS) aren't very intuitive. Lots of hidden functions. The way they organize settings …

    they're competing against themselves to essentially not screw up.

    I guess we'll find out if this will turn out to be another rash hire in another 9 months. I'm actually surprised at this move.

    agreed. IMHO, last good BMWs were E90 and F10s. That's when they still cared about craftsmanship even in areas not visible to customers.

    "if you've ever driven a German car, you'll realize that the car was built for engineers and not for end users " cracks me up. I once leased a BMW for 3 years. By the time I return…

    It's the 25% VAT. Pre VAT, it's ~$685. With state sales tax of 8% where I live, the base would cost me $648. So not a huge difference.

    That's the magic threshold. Can't complain about the non-upgradable 8GB RAM at that price.

    To clarify, I meant, model with Pro chip, not just Macbook Pro name. For example, up until MacBookPro M2, MacBookPro M2 came with M2 Pro chip. However, starting with M3, Apple lowe…

    $200 price bump across the board. The cheapest 16" is now $2699 and 14" Pro $2199. I think it's a fair price considering M2Pro 14" was $1999 (though it was discounted) only had 512…

    I couldn’t do it. Much respect for them. In the 80s when Korea was under quasi military regime, there were many street protests. Molotov cocktails and tear gas being exchanged. Som…

    I think their secret weapon is their opensource UI library. https://blueprintjs.com/ I've been tracking this project since 2018. It hasn't changed drastically since then, but man i…

    Our future is bright. This made me smile more than most news I've read in recent months.
