I’m interested in the long DisplayPort and USB cables. I’d love to get my very loud gaming PC away from my quiet office and these would be just the trick. Thanks for making me aware that this is an option! Now I have to decide where I would

I've supported moving people from IC to manager easily 50+ times in my career and never once has it been to limit the damage someone can do. Also, this is not a promotion, it's a role change. Edit: btw, the premise is completely w

I mean yes, but also no. Companies the size of Google still have an overall strategy, and when one group’s strategy is to shit all over another part of the company, that usually doesn’t work out. Even worse, the scale Flutter is developed a

The internal divisions with this are really amusing. The big driver towards Flutter seems to be needing an iOS app, but Google really underinvests in those (YT being the exception, but it might as well be a different company).

Definitely not. Get a cheap CGM subscription if this is something you want to monitor and you need any sort of real data. They’re easy to apply, update quickly (within 15 minutes of a Hcg spike you will see it in the data) and you can deriv

Noninvasive blood glucose measurement has been a holy grail for wearables for over 10 years. People have thought they were going to crack it but the research just hasn’t panned out. You’re much better off getting a cheap CGM subscription, e

Just in case you didn’t read the entire article (it is long) this is a quote from the industrial farming section.

You can't "both-sides" atrocities of the sort the Assad regime practiced, which are well-documented. Even if you want to grant an individual associated with Assad the benefit of the doubt, this is the the point of a trial, in

The typical inhabitant of a town that is a good candidate for data center construction is suspicious of authority, hates big tech companies, has heard AI is coming for their job, and consequently not a supporter of data centers, regardless

You've just described what the AI industry refers to as "evals", a collection of which forms a particular benchmark. I definitely encourage you to define your own evals, because the public benchmarks are often either saturate

I mean, they gave money to a PAC that is trying to get legislation to control all models. He’s fine with legislation affecting Anthropic as far as I can tell, as long as it’s evenly applied. Open weight models built outside the US are going

While I don’t love Google (it’s hard to love) I actually think Sundar isn’t an asshole fwiw. Also I’m not sure if you’d put Dario in big tech circles but he seems half decent. A little too AGI pilled perhaps but definitely standing up for w

That’s a misread. You don’t play chicken with a squirrel on the road.

The article is a very shallow restatement of the conclusions in this paywalled piece: https://asia.nikkei.com/business/technology/five-us-tech-gia...

The study uses Gemini data to draw conclusions about AI usage for economically useful work. Hopefully it is obvious that this is a fatally flawed approach due to inherent bias in limiting your data collection to one model which is uneven in

You really aren’t going to get very far intellectually with a rigid ideology that equates disagreeing with Trump to a mental illness. I’ll happily admit that Trump is right about some things, whether or not you’ll admit that he is wrong abo

The story right now is to own the least you possibly can, at least if you're a business. If I can buy it that's usually the right choice, in terms of opportunity cost if nothing else.

I feel like this might be solving a real problem (agents having identity, access controls, etc that are provisioned like you would a regular user) — with this Nostr layer that doesn’t really provide any specific value that I can see. So act

It’s fun to see projects like this that seem largely unlocked by LLM assistance, and probably wouldn’t even get started if it weren’t for them. I know the hype cycle for LLMs seems to have hit its peak already, but I am fully convinced we a

I’m a VP Eng — the backend team I manage strongly prefers CC and Opus. The Android team I manage strongly prefers Codex and GPT 5. I’m personally not sure that the answer doesn’t just come down to stylistic differences in prompting and ergo

Fitbit is owned by Google now — are you sure you want that job? ;)

The body both absorbs RF, meaning there has to be a safe absorption rate (SAR) and creates impedance with it. It also creates radio shadows. What’s more, larger individuals have more of this effect. At Fitbit there was a guy who I’ll refer

Not exactly. Early cell watches were not going to meet the existing carrier standards and so they received specific exemptions from the carrier to operate on their network. Over the years the carriers have created requirements that are spec

The main way is that literally zero of these watches actually meet the standards that the cell networks require of a cell phone. Every single one of them has a carrier exemption or a lower standard to adhere to, because it turns out that pu

I'll agree I guess and clarify that the better phrasing is probably something like "haven't yet shown the capability to."

Oh yes, not remotely true. Which is why the frontier labs all have invested heavily in trying to identify and thwart distillers, using known company names / domains to drive their exclusion lists. /s
