Vibe coders will ask the AI to write everything in Rust, memory usage will be reasonably low

The people writing everything in Electron are gonna have a fun time with their users though.

They already did though? It's called Nebula.

A direct competitor to YouTube isn't something you start with a few hundred million at this point I'm pretty sure. YouTube has only really turned profitable in the last few years... If they're even profitable now. Google ran it at a loss for a long time to maintain their ad dominance.

Not a bad idea... except they already IPOd and you inject AI into everything to wow angel investors, retail investors are less susceptible to this particular type of bullshit and index funds (reddit on russell 1000) are immune altogether. I suppose there are still wall street wealth manager types who might fall for it while playing with someone else's money

Much lower in mine at least. Tens or hundreds per year, not thousands or tens of thousands

Dealer parts catalogue likely doesn't have repair kits for most plugs. It's the loom or nothing. They're not even allowed to do repairs like that because "if something related breaks next, customer will blame the dealer/manufacturer".

Little point in going to dealer unless specifically trying to keep the warranty, in which case you're probably not paying to get repairs done yet

Creators already get paid very well for posting on YouTube.

Not since Pewds made some nazi jokes 9 years ago. Think they're only now getting back to where they were before that.

There are also a ton more people doing a lot of niches, so now you get fewer views.

A good rule of thumb for me is, if I see adverts on YouTube and on TV for the same company or product, then they are charging too much…

That I can agree on, but then again, how would they even sell their product if there's no advertisement? The companies that don't charge too much and then stuff some of it into advertisement, tend to go under.

But if a creator has ads on premium that costs x amount each month.

Creator doesn't really know if you have premium or not and many users (me) will also have adblock so they don't get a cent from these views. That's why many will show you ad-free videos on Patreon or Nebula. No sponsor segments if they know you're a paying customer.

I'll literally watch Map Men sponsor segments on purpose (along with a few others)

Kinda pointless to unionize when it's run by two brothers and there are, as far as I know, no other employees.

It's not flavorless by any means, it's more that vanilla is a base flavor, to which other stuff is then added. It's the default so you get too used to it

Yes. It's because a corporation, particularly a distant foreign one, is anonymous so you don't think about it as much whereas if some local guy leaked her nudes, it would most likely reach her friends and family. At least that's what I think is the reason.

What are all the conceivable ways to you? Anyway, the Renault 5 is almost as much as the bigger id.3 neo here and we don't have anyone selling the Alpine version as it's more expensive than the 5 and thus too expensive for such a tiny car.

And all of these cost at least 4x as much as a similarly sized but lower power BYD does in China. That's how much cheaper the Chinese can build their cars. When they sell the same batteries to Renault or VW, the batteries alone likely cost about as much as BYD's entire car. And we can't really produce these batteries at such scale here in Europe because of pollution regulation. China processes most of the world's lithium and cobalt. Only hope we have is coming up with a magic battery chemistry that doesn't come with a ton of environmental issues, but unfortunately Donut Labs is more than likely a scam.

Lisa Su has also been cozying up to Trump to try and accelerate data center construction.
