I would bet they won't suck at it for much longer, Gemini's progress in undeniable.

I take it as a morality tale that applies to all of humans generally and less an indictment of a specific age range. But I may be in the minority it seems.

You're probably gonna need to chip a few blocks on your own before asking Michelangelo for pointers.

It's not hard to look at each profile, most will proudly shout their top credentials as visibly and often as possible. "1M Subscribers on YouTube!" vs. "I worked in this industry for 10 years" is a pretty easy call.

I'm starting to learn human history is people getting bored of something and then it takes a generation or two before it's exciting all over again. Fashion, I suppose.

Ouch. Maybe we'll get some awesome FOSS tech out of its ashes?

The Maverick used to be the truck but they've jacked it by like almost twice the price since debut. With so much "upmarket momentum" the e-F150's days were numbered. Now I'm sitting here wondering when we'll

There is no issue except the one third-parties (such as HN commenters) are making out of it. Fedora and FEDORA reached an agreement a long time ago. Unless I missed something, neither party has disparaged the other in that time. The parent

Due to their comparative popularity, it makes complete sense to me. You don't have people in HN comments for a new Fedora release going "Wait is this about the Digital Access Project?" What does "not a good look" ev

If it had been about GIMP I would have laughed harder.

I bet if you'd show that image to a human they'd need a little time to figure out what the heck they were looking at. Humans might need additional guesses, too. Five-legged dogs aren't common, but well-endowed dogs may be.

The incredulity I feel at HN types hyping up UniFi is pretty high. A for-profit company centralizing commodity tech into a single point of failure, what could go wrong? We've been down this road before, the hype and "magic" i

If I remember right, it played a role in the Crowdstrike failures. So yeah wouldn't surprise me MS is hoping to get rid of it.

True, but Google's been making them for 10 years, which subjectively feels like a long time in tech.

> Did anybody ever get banned for searching the wrong keywords? No, but they probably pass clusters of (perceived to be) dangerous searches on to the Feds. Talking out my ass though.

It feels like (to me) that Google's TPU advantage (speculation is Meta is buying a bunch) will be one of the last things to be commoditized, which gives them a larger moat. Normal chips are hard enough to come by for this stuff.

Open troughs are fine, toilets facing each other with no partitions is a bit far. I grew up rural but not that rural.

Spinning up an all-new ad network is pretty tough. I would think OpenAI would need to beat Meta/Google on basics like CPM in order for the network effects to make it desirable for ad vendors over Meta/Google. Ad budgets are fixed

I will write it one day. Right now other more fully-formed creative projects are taking precedence. I do know that when I write it it'll be a different take, because it'll be my voice and perspective and a synthesis of the media t

This lines up with a book idea I've had for like 20 years. Crazy! Don't wait to write sci-fi I suppose! Life may catch up, haha.

That's what I'm saying. Adobe ends BT support in all their devices and software stacks and switches to "Appletooth," which they promise to open up and then 5 years later actually do it. Appletooth being a from-scratch al

Adobe Animate (née Flash) still exists and exports HTML5-ready MP4s now. Which, as an actual user of Macromedia Flash and dabbler in Newgrounds uploads, is a much better situation. Flash the plugin sucked shit and everyone knew it, includin

I'm convinced it's impossible to implement the BT spec without MANY of these kinds of bugs popping up. Apple mercy-killed Adobe Flash, we should be asking they do the same to Bluetooth. I'm sick of living in a reality where n

If the porn industry likes it, it's bad? Guess we have to get rid of physical home media. And the internet. It was a good run I guess.
