I do think Legal would be worried about a site they don't own potentially being wrong about store openings and customer being upset, let alone risking travel through a storm to get there. Trademark was the easy one to get

I haven't used AI Mode but AI Overview often reads exactly like those 300 word bullet point listicles if you try searching for anything competitive like "best X for Y"

What I want from Google is showing me results (not summaries) from sources that I tell it from natural language. If I know I am going to search for a topic I know is going to be filled with a ton of SEO garbage, I default to chatgpt to get

I take NAC to help with hangovers, I used to get smashing headaches and people would recommend random Korean and japanese 'hangover supplements', I was obviously very skeptical and googled every ingredient to check it is safe. The

If parties are willing to roll the dice hundred or thousands of times and end up arguing about significance, the easier thing to do would be to bring a cup of water and roll them a couple of times in the water or load the water with salt ti

Yeah it's not so much what they believe but how they act on it and the effects on their lives. The pride feeling of "I'm smarter than you", hatred of anyone not part of their group, become a hermit and socially withdrawn

Also right now, the way things are output is still constrained by an actual human engineer, junior or senior. If AI makes juniors 1.5x as effective, the company that is still investing in juniors is going to beat the competitor who decided

Some comments in this thread make me take for granted how junior people are, some of this stuff is table stakes big co stuff and sometimes not even enough, you make these docs that answer everyones questions but maybe 2 out of the 12 people

It's pendantry, he won a prize and the great grand nephew says they shouldn't call it a Nobel prize. It's a waste of time to discuss what the prize should be called rather whether the award is worthy of being the best econom

I don't believe there are perverse incentives yet, right now it's arms race burn money and operate at a loss days. There is no moat only quality and price per token and the leader moves around too quickly. Also Author should reall

What I got from that is "fast and intuitive" is the must have. When you have a choice (backend bit), justify you decision. I'd try to use that to stand out or an additional cool feature. When I have to do such homework, I do

I suggest putting vibecoding into the search bar on HN or YouTube to look at the critical side of how it's perceived, I'm not a professional coder but based on hanging out here it seems somewhat looked down on by some? I'm gu

So was it an easy prediction or was it luck? Anyone can say that about any prediction, if not these then what kind of prediction would pass the bar for both?

Wait have you never had a work experience where people make decision without properly asking around then someone on another team chimes in to say actually you missed X. Or you tried to fix something or an incident but have to read through a

Worse is if your competitors report you and get you banned while having profitable ads, there goes a large marketing channel and likely a chunk of revenue, think shopify stores, restauranteurs. Reddit is full of these stories

Wall Street is better imo, it is just relevant to the times of GFC versus the corporate raiders of the 80s

When we hire MBAs it means nothing except a minimum standard of work ethic and communication skills and usually (but not always) ability to grasp and breakdown problems. What they usually lack is expertise/applicable experience, we kno

Why would that be even be a good targeted ad? Its simpler and more profitable to show you ads about a place you actually plan to go to..

List the top 3 to 5 learnings or growth experience and be able to explain each of them in detail, write it down and practise saying it. If you haven't done this already, I'd be a little surprised, do you just wing it? It can get h

Yeah I wanted to post this, reverse image search can already do this easily. Sometimes when one of my friends posts a pic in a foreign land, I try to geoguess, it once told me the name of the hotel the view was taken from

I think it's pretty hard to attribute bad stays to stoppage of the service though unless they use reviews in a model which is probably the best data they have to predict this. I haven't booked an Airbnb in years, whether it be due

Good idea in theory, having a big gov contract with high volume and reduced rates instead of every ministry negotiating with CSPs, with standardised setup. Harder to execute in practice, how much to charge, what costs are subsidised across

Don't think your reply is arguing in good faith (unless parent was edited) when you basically ignored the implied examples of that comment and made 3 strawmen points

Investing all money in your friends has n=1 and strong hindsight bias, that was a weird one also unrelated to author unless all his friends worked with him at the startups he did?
