Uh why do you think that the private companies running the service are just going to do what they’re told? For that matter, what makes you think the government itself wants a privacy-first solution? It’s better to keep data indefinitely in case you need it in the future.

I’m not American myself, but phone use cameras can’t work without being constantly on. Speeding cameras flash when speeding is detected, red light cameras too. Phone detection requires AI so it’s gonna be a constant video stream. Everyone’s going to be recorded 24/7 and it doesn’t matter if you’re driving, cycling or walking. Who says how long the data is being kept and where it’s going?

I tend to think that having speeding cameras in crucial spots is necessary (in some places they straight up exist to collect funds though) and a busy or dangerous intersection absolutely merits a red light camera… But I don’t want phone detection cameras purely because of how invasive it is.

I’m not sure demand for AV1 is enough to ship units

Probably either laziness or they want to avoid software decoding in general for performance reasons

This doesn’t work for me but the original one you posted does (Voyager, iPhone 14 pro)

I’m not surprised at Americans being opposed to it, but here in Australia we have cameras that detect phone usage while driving.

They’re also against all their movements being recorded, ID requirements for websites, etc. Crazy people, who would ever want to not be tracked every second of their waking lives?

Never heard of a parliament where abstain = no. Is that common?

Have you done a sleep study?

Before I got my CPAP I had more energy on 2h of sleep than 10

The most expensive plan gets you more tokens per unit of currency actually (10x cost for 20x usage), but it’s pretty expensive and there’s not actual guarantee that they’re still losing money on your subscription in 2026 and as you pointed out, being able to show demand and MRR will get them more loans.

It’s funny, I live in a country with very few privately owned guns, where ammo is tracked and everything.

No 3d printed gun murders have taken place here. Why would they happen in the US where anyone can just get a real gun?

Samsung is huge, were those people in the memory business, somewhere else in Electronics, or in some other part of Samsung like insurance or construction?

Not impossible, but also the thinking process reduces the need for something like that. Anything in the context gets regurgitated back and forth multiple times so the model has multiple opportunities to flag something as being weird.

Incidentally if you actually want to do something like that yourself, I believe OpenRouter has a feature for that. But of course it means you can essentially add up each model’s costs and that’s your new cost per prompt (not exact since output token count will differ, but on average).

The paradox is that they’ll blame taxation for being broke even if the actual reason is capitalism.

I reckon one major reason is that taxation is the visible part of your money being “stolen” whereas capitalists profiting off your labour is… well, potentially visible if it’s a private company and the owner flaunts his wealth, but generally if it’s a big publicly traded company, or a foreign multinational, etc, you need to be looking at the annual reports or something, because there’s no real local boss taking all the profit.

So what’s your opinion on the NSDAP?

I thought that was the deadly winter blackouts

Well, not the pedophile himself, but the country is their 6th largest trade partner. 5% of your exports is a lot to lose all at once.

But it’s also stupid af on Trump’s part. Spain has more to lose, but the US loses out on trade too. Generally speaking, unless we’re talking about straight up colonialism, trade usually benefits both parties.

Depends tbh. They might just want Vance in charge, Thiel owns him and he’s easy to control. Trump’s unpredictable.

Neither Claude code neither codex is actually vendor specific, they just don’t tell you that you can config other providers, including local

However opencode is pretty nice too, so if you like it, use that. I personally find that opencode with GLM 5.2 or Kimi K2.7 isn’t actually that great, it’ll hallucinate more than Claude code or Codex with their respective first party models. I think it’s the models themselves rather than opencode itself though, as when I use GPT for planning and hand it off to deepseek flash to do the actual work, it’s more or less fine.

Used Thinkpad is also a solid alternative if the power of apple silicon is not needed

The real thing to consider here is upgradability. Thinkpads are pretty OK to repair but no upgrades. For that I’d consider Framework.

Unfortunately I don’t want an x86 laptop. x86 desktops only beat apple silicon laptops when GPU becomes involved, x86 laptops are nowhere near as good as apple silicon laptops.

Does literally nothing for this though, they already know who you are.
