Well Google did also just pay $2.5B to license Windsurf in perpetuity. Cognition is probably spending a lot less than that for just whatever it left after that type of a deal. Remaining team members, etc.

YouTube Premium costs about the same as 2 cold brew coffees and is worth the money.

Yea I am pretty sure that if you're checking if a service is down your essentially casting a vote that indicates that service is down.

Yea I just think the true unlock in productivity will come from not requiring a human in the loop.

This is a good articulation of what is a real concern around the AI bull thesis. If a calculator works great 99% of the time you could not use that calculator to build a bridge. Using AI for more than code generation is still very difficult

You're 100% right and in my opinion there is a much higher probability this is a total waste and nothing of similar value will be created. But if you're OpenAI and you have this option I also see why you may take it.

Appears from the outside as a very expensive aquihire but if you're getting the guy who essentially created the iPhone it could be worth it.

Having worked closely with a number of artist that achieved notable level of mainstream success (multiple Billboard Top 40 hits, years of touring) I have to agree with the authors conclusion. Even for those that have successful careers span

I don't think the poster is being too hyperbolic. A very large share of the most vocal on both sides of the political aisle prioritize narrative over truth. Literal truth is less important to these people than something that is maybe n

I think it is reasonable that Beijing will not allow any sort of sale just for posture purposes. They don't want to be see as forced by Washington to do something and they care less about private economic outcomes than we do here, at l

That's a reasonable take but I think practically things need to get done for government to function.

It's either this way or pass nothing ever. Unless the country tilts away from basically 50/50 with two parties that constantly try to undo the other there are few options to get anything through congress.

@tommycollison: What’s going to be very important in 5 years’ time that we’re not thinking enough about now?

Agree with his assessment on passthrough. I think it's the #1 disappointment I've found with the Vision Pro. It's good, def better than other devices I've used but it's no where near as good as it has been described

The door blowing out is something I'd blame on Boeing but these two incidents this week (tire falling off) and whatever happened here seem not likely their fault?

I just can't believe it took a lawsuit to get an airline to fork over a few hundred bucks on something that was obviously their fault.

I wonder how this all turns out. I know some people will do a great job at educating their kids but I have a feeling that on the average most of these kids will have been better off not home schooled. I think it takes a pretty special type

I'd argue that if you're running a internet based company you do need some growth regardless of what you've raised or not raised. Someone is always trying to cut into your business and if you sit back and ignore everything gr

I always look at these and think I want one but also can't think of what i'd actually use it for. I just picture it sitting in a closet next to my GoPro and Oculus after about 3 days of messing around. Anyone own one? What do you

I'd consider using something besides 'list all files' as first example in the gif. I'd think anyone who opens a terminal knows how to do that so listing files in a directory and hitting a spinner isn't very inspirin
