People shaking their fist at this on hacker news is weird. Yes there is growing wealth inequality in the world. Because we invented a way to turn capital in to more capital without humans. Bezos is just the first of many. He also has on ave

This is AMAZING. We are definitely on an exponential in term of capabilities of humanoid robots. We are probably only years away from having a robot in the house, in construction of robots. Automating anything that a human can do is best do

There's lots of suicide attacks in poorer African countries. But the west by and large won the war on terror, it broke up all the state sponsored terrorist camps, and built a vast surveillance network capable of spotting people trying

Google makes over a billion of its ad Revenue from search. Intent works. But I think Open AI is not a slam dunk for Ads. Gemini and AI mode will compete for the same budget, and Google's Ad machine is polished. I think eventually you w

Microsoft can afford to make a less profitable product for search than Google because if Google competes it’s a net win for Microsoft. AI has many other profitable uses for Microsoft but specifically using it to compete with Google Search s

It’s far more 5D chess than that. Search costs nothing to run relative to ad revenue. Microsoft makes each query require 100x the cpu usage because users expect an LLM answer for results. Microsoft’s share of search goes from 1% to 5%. Thei

It absolutely is. Googlers here will know that there was an internal version of ChatGPT that got canned because of halucinations.

Strangely enough if you asked Europeans if they wanted high American Salaries they would also say yes. The question is loaded and I guess 21% can think it through (or their company already gives them better).

I've done two large search projects in the last year. One with Postgres search and one with elastic search. The elastic search version was trivial to configure, and was embarrassingly superior to the point where I wish I had never cons

Disruption typically happens where it's not only more efficient but cheaper too. The number of people you displace is going to be a fraction of what you make. If you do end up making as much as the original industry it's because y

Ebola is actually too aggressive. It tends to kill and incapacitate people so quickly that they don't have time to spread it to others.

Google+ has it's users, but to me it always seemed like the ultimate example of building something no one actually wanted.

People are saying this is pedantry, but there's a good point being made here. Coding passion is a deep cold analytic burn that is nothing like what people assume it to be. It typically is a reflection of the interest you have in the pr

Cities that don't care for their homeless tend not to have a homeless problem. SF actually has relatively great care for homeless people compared to the majority of the US. Therefore a lot more homeless end up there. The homeless probl

Nothing like a phobia or anything, but it did give me a feeling that there were bugs all over my screen. It's a cool animation though and a nice reference to the first book, personally I'd probably add a small toggle for the bugs.

I really liked this book the first time around and I'm glad to see it's (possibly) getting a second edition. But I had to remove the background to finish the page, it really creeped me out.

I think these MScs are bullshit and I did one. However equally bullshit is the idea that you can't write software without a Bachelors in CS. As far as I'm concerned my MSc is a halfway house. It gets you passed HR and let's you talk to peop

As an outsider it looks like Yahoo is saying it will back big crazy engineering projects if they have potential. To me Yahoo went from being the last place I'd ever want to end up to being an exciting company. It's an amazing turnaround.

Europe is just PHP as far as the eye can see. I think Berlin is the only major city that bucks the trend.
