Keeping features out was important when the complexity burden of that feature would be borne by the entire user base. Restricting features is much less important (or even an anti-pattern) when software is more bespoke, or even has a userbas

Isn't most of the financing just another way of expressing discounts and payment plans for very expensive hardware?

Google was way ahead of OpenAI and Anthropic on slowing down frontier model releases. (I kid. I'm a regular Gemini Flash 3.8 user.)

> You need expertise to productively use that AI. Certainly true now, but might not be in 2 years. Similar to how a person can hire a lawyer or a carpenter without knowing anything about those fields. Knowing what you want (even expresse

The core basically disappears if you cut an apple in disks (or each from the bottom).

> set of problems that you face as a software engineer and realize that there is so much left Definitely true at this exact moment, but very uncertain that AI won't also outrun those other areas faster than even existing experts.

Hard to make the effect work on a laptop because the final position of the physical screen is not known.

Probably more to it, but that's a pretty weak example. There are a lot of reasons text files might be better suited storing data vs. the overhead of a database.

Does Matt own >50%? If so, the board is irrelevant. If not, I assume he would've been gone long ago.

Roads are used by everyone. Transit right-of-ways are limited to use by transit and are extremely underutilized. In many cases, it would be better to turn those in to bike and/or AV lanes.

It works even better with high demand because it's easier to find multiple people traveling to/from the same places.

An even better idea would be to let transit users pay the real price for the infrastructure they occupy and their negative externalities. Not many people would want to ride the subway if they had to pay the full price.

Some group (my bet is on "transit advocates") will try and paint Waymo as "Flock on wheels".
