Straight-up, "degraded" should strictly mean "may be slower, or so slow it randomly fails" on these kinds of status pages.

Hmm... 88.8888888%? Jesus, that's both horrible and seems within reach.

Uh oh. That means there's at least one more like you out there that we don't know about.

God I wish. Looking at you, DaVinci Resolve. I'm not sure how AppImage beats Flathub, it's gotten so damn good.

My take-away is kind of the opposite. You literally have to be the right person in the right place at the right time.

I've been mulling over your comment for a few days now. On the old internet, "know one knows that you're a dog." On the new internet, "know one knows (for sure) that you're an AI." In a mixed discussion co

D'oh. Thanks.

What's lost when that scene is GIFed or quoted is Michael's double-take before he says anything. Brilliant comedic acting.

Google is talking up a new "Neural AI" design language that seems to just be for their in-house Gemini-related apps. Possibly what the new Antigrav is using? We don't know if this is Material 4.0, just Google's proprieta

More like when AI is coding all the apps anyways, a drastic change in direction is only one prompt away.

It took 15 years but they did finally settle on RCS/Google Messages and even got Apple to cowtow. It could be 15 years before Google's AI strategy fully stabilizes, but there is precedent.

I would categorize most porn sites as sketchier on average than non-porn sites, but the gap is closing and that's an indictment of bloggers and the companies running them. Early tech finds footing in porn (VHS, internet video, etc.) bu

This would have been the proper way to do it, but it would have taken work, and Google really hates migration plans of any kind. Better to drop the 2.0 on users' heads out of nowhere and just move on.

They really just hate doing migration plans, especially longer ones (1+ year). Google seems like an outlier but I don't have real data to prove it.

The announcement of Google Allo really hammered that point home to me back in the day. I'm sure Google Pics has a long, fulfilling life ahead of it.

I was trying to read some I/O news on some feckless Google news fan-blog. By the time I got to the middle of the article: three massive banner ads (top, right, and bottom) were taking up more content than the text, there was an auto-pl

I have to focus on the silver linings or things are too sad. :(

This is the future I see happening. And, I don't think it will be a total apocalypse. The web will endure.

by Andrex 5mo ago
Free speculation: I could see a future where Google populates a footer on results with the website logos of the sources. Presumably, the new web will require users to memorize websites/brands and go directly to those sites if they see

Tinkering and experimentation. Could be a good use for older hardware. Why not.

The true horrific realization I had with Colossus: The Forbin Project was how equally scared and accepting of the AI's message I was. "This is the voice of World Control. I bring you peace. It may be the peace of plenty and conten

You're not going far enough. Closed software has no place in government whatsoever. It should all be open and/or locally run, and ideally GPL/AGPL licensed. It is another level of stupidity/moral failing to use closed so

You want excuses to stay, not reasons to leave. There is zero cost to trying for yourself.

by Andrex 5mo ago
Appreciate this, thank you. TBH I'm still in "open mode" absorbing as many disparate AI viewpoints as possible. I have my own soft beliefs and theories but I'm not married to any of them.

Am I the only one seeing the very obvious parallels to child rearing here...

Anyone care to speculate what the internal reasoning is?

Just the app, hardware trackers like the Air are still Fitbit. Which matches what they did with Nest, keeping the hardware name but having everything live in the Google Home app.

Indulge some pedantry with me... Why "Googlebook?" Pixel was meant for first-party computing devices, I thought. Nest for smart home and Fitbit for fitness trackers. If you don't want to associate with past Pixelbooks and wan
