For those wondering why this isn't using the Pixelbook brand, the Reddit post sheds more light. A Googlebook is something "above" a Chromebook (maybe the AI featureset imposes hardware demands that Chromebooks can't serv

I view it more through the lens of serving the right content to the right audience. Markdown is great for agents (and some humans), it is not great for many humans. And it _certainly_ isn't acceptable to some humans that have the job t

They recently claimed 500k weekly rides, at an average cost of $20 (seems low) would be $500mm run rate.

> The same reason Iran is using a lot of drones now. It doesn't seem like the US would be in a conflict where they don't have air superiority. Hmmm, this sentence appears to be a paradox? Is the US not fighting Iran right now?

Coming soon! The rumored Macbook Ultra may have a touchscreen. Love having a touchscreen laptop, though I'm annoyed that Apple will lock it behind a $5k price tag for now.

I kinda would have loved a new Mac Pro, same case, but just stick 4 Mac Studios in there and connect them all via MLX. Would be a killer local AI setup...for $40k.

A memento stultitiae if you will? Someone to follow you around and remind you of your foolishness.

Thankfully they've now shipped their own product, YouTube Music. And Google Pay, imagine my surprise back in 2021 when I signed up for Waymo and realized I had to manually type in my credit card. No Google Pay??? C'mon y'all,

I would not be surprised if an outcome of this may be a 10% government stake (maybe golden share owned by Trump) in Anthropic.

Sometimes you don't know up front. Perhaps you learn a lot about gaussian splatting and push forward that tech by five years (presuming they started on this five years ago). Or maybe you learn this helps you build a world model that wo

That doesn't seem to be supported by the data, the "nicer" and richer a country becomes, birth rates drop. And basically the opposite is true for countries with a high birth rate. How do you square those facts with your view
