Almost like nobody should be paying attention to what a bunch of random second rate journalists think about who the top AI leaders are. I'm honestly surprised TIME still exists.

Does anyone really believe that Bill Gates would propose any kind of truly altruistic plan, that is to say, would he ever support any AI regulation plan that actually hurts his bottom line at the end of the day? I don't think that AI-a

Honestly though, if they legitimately achieve RSI, I feel like all bets are off and anything could happen.

What on earth does this opinion have to do with anything?

The truth for me at least is that these models became "good enough" around Opus 4.6. I feel like further capability improvements, "step changes" like we saw with agentic coding, aren't necessarily going to come from

Search revenue miss, apparently. Not sure whether this has happened before. But I wonder if this could be the long-predicted beginning of the downfall of search as a "money printer".

I actually tend to agree with Sweeney here. At the same time, I think this is kind of doomed for the near future, as people turn more and more against AI. Especially gamers, who now are paying double or triple for the hardware they need.

Firing everyone is lunacy. I think this revolution is here to stay though, and SWE workflows are going to crystallize around "building the agent systems that build the product" rather than "building the product".

This article seems to conveniently ignore the fact that the latest models have essentially solved coding.

I tend to agree with you here. This is the equivalent of that scene in Better Call Saul where Jimmy makes a commercial without getting sign-off from the partners. It doesn't matter whether the thing worked - this is essentially a mutin

Who is in charge of naming things at Google? Like a five syllable word followed by "AI", I couldn't think of a worse name for a product competing for mind share.

Hmm. Gabbard is on the way out. Something tells me that perhaps her bosses may not be so happy about this disclosure.

Hmm, so for $30 a month you basically get 10% cash back. There's some break even point here if you use Waymo enough. I think in SF, this would make a lot of sense, especially since there are so many Waymos up there to begin with. In So

OK, well the "circumstances and context" here are that most people commenting on HN live in the United States, so obviously they will be better off if the United States does well. I don't think your "um actually, you can

Windmills? They don’t work. They’re too expensive. They kill all the birds. They ruin your landscapes. Yet, the environmentalists love the windmills. I’ve been preaching this for years. The windmills. I had them way down. The windmills are

So? Just because some competitor could have possibly formed in an alternate universe doesn't make the company or Page / Brin's contribution any less valuable.

Uh yes, because they founded the company? If Google was never founded nobody would be working there, don't think I need a citation for that.

> The Bezos and Musks and Kalanicks of the world believe that this is correct. They truly think they do something in their 24 hours of daily human life that makes them hundreds or thousands of times more valuable than even the absolute b

Hi, is it going to be beginner friendly? Been meaning to learn some linear algebra as it's a course I unfortunately wasn't able to take in school.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you think Google is gonna be any better in terms of the "random censoring" for content that their SJW overlords deem "harmful", I have a bridge to sell you.

The behavior described in the article (licking the utensils, putting saliva on the sushi, etc) is seriously antisocial and psychopathic. Especially in our era of heightened public health awareness. People have been charged with terrorism fo

It's not like we DON'T have a catalog though. Amazon exists. The problem is that there is such a deluge of products that it becomes difficult to choose. That's where advertising can help. As for the environmental situation, i

How is online advertising not useful? It's directly greasing the gears of the economy, matching up potential customers with businesses in a reasonably intelligent way. Yeah, sure, it's not saving the world from climate change or s

IMO there's a big difference between university level SQL and the ability to competently write SQL in a professional setting. In university, at least at my school, you are getting maybe at most 3 tables overall, with 3-5 columns each.

I mean honestly, you can't possibly think that just adding people of other gender / skin colors just magically improves profitability. There's clearly some lurking variables here that McKinsey purposefully ignored in order to

To play devil's advocate, in the case of a company like Google, it's unclear whether or not execution actually gets much slower. From what I hear the amount of people coasting or even distracting teammates with negativity is prett

Well, how does that explain the result of 7.304 for the q-hypothesis?

People seem all outraged, but I really don't care. Kurzgesagt is just a youtube channel of explaining cool science topics with very high quality animations. It's really not so different from Cosmos, or Into the Universe, or Mythbu

In all honesty, the fact that this laser based communication exists makes me a lot more likely to believe that SDI was actually a success in the classified world.

I'm pretty sure that a municipality needs a population of 50K to be considered a city. This is more of a small town.
