show business and things like it are famously pyramidal in shape. there are decades' worth of people who couldn't make it in previous generations in Los Angeles and New York.
i think what is relatively new is the unaffordability crisis making it so doing such pursuits and not being that successful is no longer a way to make a living on its own.
Also me. Still pay for OpenAI, I use gpt4 for excel work and is super fast and able to do more excel related work like combine files that come up often for projects I work on.
I've found that to be best for coding, especially when you're describing the exact behavior you want implemented. Plus the format it returns is very consistent (not the case in the various chat UIs).
There are carbon fiber E-bikes, perhaps it’s “few” but there are people paying to have a more light bike since the extra weight up and down hill isn’t as fun
The weight difference between equivalent carbon and aluminum eMTBs is generally around a kg, but the argument for carbon MTBs has mostly shifted away from weight. While carbon fails more catastrophically than aluminum, it's harder to hit the failure point and it's less susceptible to stress fractures. It is also generally argued that carbon is both more dampening and stiffer in the places you want stiff, but it is very hard to tell how real that is.
They are using AWS for the cheap part, the content and rights is far more expensive. You think it costs 50M to stream a 2 hour show for millions of people, or the production of said show/movie?
