I think it's more shocking to people how much YouTube Premium costs.
I have premium but also this app. It has SponsorBlock and better UI customization than the official one.

You'd be amazed at how seriously people can take things like date formats sometimes.
The time we will collectively waste for the next 8k years typing that extra 0 will not weigh up against the benefit.

I truly do not see the USP for Mistral other than being based in EU. It's former USP of setting up their models on-premises for clients is now moot with the proliferation of open frontier models. I'd love to be proven wrong but I don't see a path forward for Mistral at this point, given how far they're behind and their overall lack of competitive advantages for an AI Lab like access to hardware, cheap energy or a mass of AI talent.
Do they really need to be anything more than the best European option to be successful?

I’m curious if autonomous cars will become targets for aggressive drivers. Like a driver isn’t going to be as scared cutting off a Waymo or tailgating one because the AI isn’t gonna get road rage or honk like hell. In some places I could see the Waymo’s getting severely bullied if that’s the case.
Or maybe the agressive drivers get a kick out of inciting a reaction, which they won't get from a robot

Less client trust means some game designs are impossible. The latency caused by the speed of light leads to unacceptably bad player experiences if you don't trust the client, at least for shots from their p.o.v.
Personally I don't mind if fast-paced adversarial multiplayer FPS games stop existing, but that's a minority opinion.
Anti-cheat does not need to run real-time to be effective

Charging is an issue for almost everyone I know. If I could get my utility company PG&E to upgrade my power, I could consider it, but we're told we have to wait years. So we have no way to charge, and there are not enough chargers around here are.
Unlike what some people think you really don't need a 7kW charger at home. A dryer outlet will charge a car fully overnight.
