Continuous examining for abuse is great and what a proactive regulator should be doing anyway. Question is, does it incentivize these companies to reduce their market share by different means - going low on a certain marketing campaign, rel

My take is that law tries to dictate UX more than just set groundrules which good laws do. They pre-emptively set the law such that it prevents any use when the focus is on misuse. The law is about 1st party and 3rd party cookies, not just

You should relax your tone mate. It's just an opinion. I may be wrong. To state more clearly, I think app store and google search are two separate use cases. You may see it as a search, but the jtbd is different. I guess you can take a

There are two major ways people find apps - facebook/Google ads and word of mouth in personal network or on the internet. I know playstore gets a lot of visitors, but mostly useful just for getting top interesting apps (curation) rathe

Think Apple's argument about Epic having previously flouted the rules openly might be good enough. For a third party app store, Apple is pretty much giving the keys to your phone to the said app store. If there is a company which has d

I don't think it was pretrained on knowledge gaps. A version was already available in testing w select customers. The version released to the public would definitely have feedback from those customers, and finetuned/instruction tu

More than pretraining data, I think the advantage was ChatGPT and how quickly it grew. Remember it was 3.5, and within a month or two, it generated so many actual q&a pairs with rating, feedback, and production level data of how a model

This is indeed huge for Anthropic. I have never been able to use Claude as much simply because of how much it wants to be safe and refuses to answer even for seemingly safe queries. The gap in reasoning (GPQA, MGSM) is huge though, and that

Exactly. It was a slam dunk case with any criteria. They cloned the product, bundled it free with other apps, and later as a standalone product, priced it at half of slack's pricing. Completely killed the market for slack.

Somehow I wonder if this is indeed protectionism. Slack filed a complaint against Microsoft too, but no action has been taken on that. Having said that, it took five years and three pivots for EU to arrive at this decision. So, wonder how l

It explains it later that spotify does not allow for subscription via App store. so, all they pay is $100 per year as a dev fee which is basically nothing. Apple also claims that they flew an engineer to Sweden to help out Spotify.

This is not a reversal. They are allowing PWAs built on webkit, not other browser engines. Their argument was that they cannot reliably make sure that installing a webapp on other browser engines is secure. And that they do not have a way t

Don't think it adds a lot of value. One, the instruction-following models do not create high quality q&a pairs, chats do it by default. Two, at the time the usage was very low compared to ChatGPT. I am fairly confident, one month o

I think search is the wrong lens to look at it. Yes, finding relevant information quickly is important, but the key to enterprise search tools would be to get a holistic view around any topic. A typical enterprise has a lot of silos (12 out

It makes sense for apps which have a high ARPU. In gaming and related sectors, the number is notoriously low, even for large developers. The flow is new user installs app -> fraction keeps the app -> even smaller fraction pays. Typica

From the outside, it looks like many in the industry assumed Covid-induced changes would be permanent. They hired accordingly, beefed up their headcount and in the process ended up getting a lot of talent which wouldn't have gotten in
