Betting markets can be good predictors but I think what poly market is reflective of is not people who are looking for the optimal bet; but wish casting of crypto bros.

In the most bad faith way possible. They are going to get absolutely gutted on this. They think they’re above the fray, but there’s a reason Google and Meta are taking DMA way more seriously than GDPR - it’s basically a speedboat loaded wit

Great fingerprinting vector. Expect nothing less from Google.

On the flip side, Vision Pro has no apps and it may not be the biggest reason for its failure, but it’s a contributor that I don’t see changing. Apple’s main source of innovation is applying mafia tactics to software distribution.

Maybe, maybe not - but are they on more solid footing than Intel? Undoubtedly.

Yeah. If you solve accessibility you generally solve SEO as a byproduct. Mainly because accessible sites are easy for machines to parse.

In my experience as a published academic author all the LLM will make up all kinds of plausible papers I “wrote” that don’t exist, academic positions I’ve never held, and the like. Even if you give it a paper directly I’d not believe it to

Very small team, only still exists because they are a rounding error to the CFO on the balance sheet, but otherwise they could go at any time. Oddly their biggest strength is being irrelevant to the decision makers, if the bean counters not

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how an LLM trained in really high quality code would perform. I’m far from impressed with the output of GPT/Claude, all they’ve done is weight against stack overflow - which is still low quality co

It’s a major security/privacy issue, you don’t want to tell world+dog all registered users, especially since that’s typically an email address. Huge, huge, massive “no no”. Likewise you still have to do sever side validation as any cli

Migration is on my todo list, but it’s non trivial enough I’m not sure when I’ll ever have cycles to even figure out the best option. Gitlab? Self-hosted Git? Go back to SVN? A totally different platform? Truth be told, Git is a major pai

Exactly, there’s really like three dozen or so people globally who really should never be in the same room at the same time as the risk is too great they get hit by the same asteroid. I’d put “person who makes sure WhatsApp verification cod

There are roughly 5 billion smartphone users now, those devices are almost always on and sending background data somewhere. By volume, more of that data guess to Google than anybody else, on the order of hundreds of network requests per dev

50 people is a pretty huge team at Google to start with, there’s teams of <5 that support weird bits of core infrastructure that serve billions of users an hour.

At 2k headcount they aren’t a bespoke vendor for sure, but the big tech CEOs can put that many people in a project at a whim, which is kinda scary to think about.

Agree, but some part of me feels uneasy with the idea that Big Tech can, and will, take any product somebody has put blood, sweat, and tears into, copy it, and give it away for free. This isn’t a new problem, but every time I see some form

I think it’s a bit worrisome that Microsoft can give away VS Code for free because they subsidize it in other ways, but JetBrains - a small software shop - clearly is being forced into this position. Just more Big Tech setting the terms for

Sorry my point isn’t clear: the risk is you are being confidently led astray in ways you may not understand. It’s like false memories of events that never occurred, but false knowledge - you think you have learned something, but a non-tri

I’d give it a go if price competitive with Uber/Lyft - I can’t think of a way a robotaxi would be worth a premium though.

Waymo has limited service in one of the smallest “big” cities by geographic area in the United States. You can’t even get a Waymo in Mountain View. Fact is Google will never break even on the investment and it’s more or less a white elephan

I literally said I do use it, often. But just now had a fairly frequent failure mode: I asked it a question and it gave me a super detailed and complicated solution that a) didn’t work, and b) required serious refactoring and rewriting. Wen

I find it very interesting the primary rebuttals to people criticizing LLM from the “converted” tends to result in implicit suggestions the critique is rooted in old fashioned thinking. That’s not remotely true. I am an expert, and it’s inc

I’m guessing they all knew it wasn’t ready to ship, and would likely fail, and fail hard with that price. Now Meta is out here demoing very impressive glasses - which was the goal Apple had but couldn’t make work - so I’m curious if Meta is

There’s no ideological battle here. The first self-driving DARPA grand challenge was passed in 2005, everybody thought we’d have self driving on the road within a decade. 20 years later that’s still not the case, because it turns out NN
