I agree, though the time to buy was 6 months ago when everyone hated the stock. I think it can still appreciate nicely in the coming 1-3 years, search isn't really going anywhere and their other pieces (Youtube, Cloud, A.I subscriptions) will do good. If this bull market continues 4 trillion market cap is reasonable.
How is Proton over extending? All of their services are pretty great imo. I'm happy with them. Doesn't mean I am ever going to use their bitcoin wallet app thing, but if they want to build it, great, they know their customer base so it's probably not out of left field.
In the drive mobile app you cant even download a folder. There has been issues opened on it for almost a year now and since then they've opened two entirely new services and added many extra features.
When you're paying for something you expect the basics to be there and thats what annoys me about proton.
A similar one for Kagi: All other popular search engines have an alternative URL that enforces safesearch, allowing IT admins/parents to prevent safesearch being turned off at a DNS level (e.g. forcesafesearch.google.com, strict.bing.com). Kagi's had an open request for one for 3½ years[1] and it was recently downgraded in status away from Planned.
I would assume that it will supersede the model that they currently have. So eventually 2.5 flash will be the new and improved 2.5 Flash rather than 2.6.
Same way that openai updated their 4-o models and the like, which didn't turn out so well when it started glazing everyone and they had to revert it (maybe that was just chat and not api)
Even if it was just chat and or API I have used the API and I know that they have at minimum added the retraining date and time that they could just affix to the Gemini 2.5 Flash and Flash-Lite because when I use the API I have to verify that the upgrade of the backend system didn't break anything and pinning versions I assume is pretty common.
I have had a .xyz email for like 10 years at this point. It's 50/50 of people saying "is that really a email address" and people acting completely normal.
Never going to know what reaction I'm going to get.
It always seemed quite cringe to me. A use it once and "Ehh I guess it works and is cool, sure" and then never touch it again sort of feature.
Other than old people that always send gifs on Facebook and children who this is probably one of the only AI art things they have access too, idk who else uses this.
If one tech giant has it then they need to too for feature parity. Not a whole lot of use cases for generative AI for the masses, so if someone comes up with one, gotta copy!
I would argue that it does turn more people onto engineering paths and will result in more engineers. But it could just be a cool hobby! Does every person who is interested in cooking become a chef? Every person who is into sports become an athlete? Music a musician?
With tech becoming more prevalent, people making more things and people repairing more things, I think it's an overall good thing. Also if they become content creators, then so what?
> I know some people who went into the air force out of high school. They are idiots
Every population has some idiots in it. My point is the Air Force is difficult to get into, has a high fraction of educated servicemembers [1], has lower turnover and higher pay than the other branches. (Back when we measured IQ, the Air Force had a higher average IQ than the other branches and population.)
I know idiots who work at Google. That doesn't it's safe to assume the average person at Google is an idiot.
Within the context, we’re talking about someone who can be trusted to be mature with a firearm. That’s more true for an average Air Force servicemember than the average American. I’d reflect OP’e scepticism if we were talking about the average Army, Marine or Navy servicemember, in large part because young men are stupid and the folks in those services skew younger than the Air Force.
