The common people have viewed tech elites being out of touch. Tech elites have some sort of moral higher ground they like to espouse but rarely have the goods to show. You are working on ads, slurping up data and trapping people into rage b

Dude you are building ads and doomscrolling content that is driving this country’s youth into a downward spiral. Stop with this “building” BS. You want a platform you can control, away from Google and Apple - you are not satisfied with slur

Can some ELI5 why Kissinger gets the heat all the time these days? Asking genuinely as a person who is not familiar with the US political climate before the 90s…

It's an ad network with an attached optional pair of glasses. It's the platform Zuck always wanted to own but never had the vision beyond 'it's an ad platform with some consumer stuff in it'. I am super impressed wi

Meta really desperately wants to own a platform so they can avoid paying the Apple tax and the Google tax and directly plumb a vision to ads pipeline. Just imagine the dollars in front of those glasses… if it only darned worked. I really ho

Why assume bad faith and bring pitch forks out? The actual scammer needs to be out - not some person who maintained it for free. Nobody paid this OSS person - only when there is a problem do we ’accuse’ OSS maintainers not when they were ac

Do you think the Agriculture minister drove tractors and tried out various fertilizers? In a way, having a fresh mindset not bogged down by trends and status quo is actually a nice thing.

You don’t need to bring a rocket launcher to a banana fight. Most of the queries are gonna involve setting an alarm or turn on/off a thing. They didn’t drop the ball- they were very customer savvy and really knew what they were getting

I am surprised the path to AGI isn’t first paved with a simple request to the AI gods to replace cuda. On the other hand, Microsoft does seem to have used mere mortals to write a driver/gpu independent way to run workloads in azure (Ma

Great point - an analogy comes to mind: MSFT (and Adobe) were totally okay with (and even encouraged) students pirating Windows/Photoshop etc in non-Western countries in the hopes they grow up and carry that knowledge in a future legal

I am sure you can make a similar argument that the chance of hitting 31 on a roulette table is ‘lower’ compared to 2021 highs or whatever imaginary gambling stat we can conjure up. These are all made up numbers so number go down or up isn’t

This is splendid work by Google that will benefit the rest of the ecosystem - especially with the reward program. I wonder how this impacts (positively) Cloudflare Workers/Fly.io-style isolation (both use very different isolation mecha

I wonder how this compares with Carbon -> C++ [0]. Carbon is (was?) a fantastic proposal, but not sure if it has lost steam since it was introduced or how well it is being adopted (be it inside Google or outside)? Being able to increment

Haven’t octopuses already shown this to be the case? Learning from each other (even though they are pretty not-so-social creatures). The claim that bees are the first invertebrates to do social skill passing seems weird.

I wonder if someone did a study like that 20 years after statins were released into the wild. The number of lives saved/quality of later life etc.

I wonder if there is a more productive form of it that helps learn/practice difficult technologies in a short amount of time. Say a combo of Ray tracing in a weekend, a game with reinforcement learning etc that helps people learn dispa

Theory meets practice. An automated theorem proves that knows about Android view hierarchy, Parcelables, Android kernel well really entirety of SELinux not to mention whatever Bluetooth firmware drivers seems quite a bit of boiling the ocea

Even Altman would not be good at playing Altman based on what we can decipher from this cryptic board outing.

This entire thread is fantastic and a great learning opportunity. Sent me spiraling through Wikipedia pages. This video is really great too!

In certain areas, yes. If you visit Iceland at the right time away from city lights, it is indeed better than what the pictures claim. It’s spectacular and magnificent.

It’s hard to take this article seriously as they don’t compare egress costs at all. That’s clearly the main advantage of cf in general. Egress costs should make the lambda comparison look silly imo: should be an order or more cheaper with w

I wonder how legit are some of the most popular download sites: e.g ffmpeg windows binaries [1] are hosted from some random person’s site. Sure you can check the checksum etc but that still doesn’t guarantee any relationship with a specific

I am surprised there isn’t a browser that opens shadow webpage(s) that is unrelated but a peer to a website you are visiting. Perhaps it’s the ad companies that need to be fed fake data not the app / site.
