I don't think there's any real future in catering to the most demanding users, most of which are completely unwilling to actually pay for a power user browser.

Firefox is genuinely fine, great even, I've used it for years and have no complaints. But you notice in all these threads, everyone who theoretically ought to use Firefox comes up with their own little list of nitpicks that justify the

Connery was British, he was from the British Isles, hence British.

I dunno, I like to listen to the radio when I'm driving, am I exhibiting ADHD or Autistic related behaviour?

They had a point back then because no alternatives existed. How many websites back then would be youtube channels, podcasts or social media accounts if they had existed back then? Nowadays most sites survive via traffic from google, if it g

If it reaches the point where google is no longer a useful driver of traffic then there's probably little point in having a website at all any more.

Self driving cars don't have to be on par with human drivers, they have to be WAY WAY safer else public backlash is likely to ban them. It's not like Waymo couldn't be rolling out faster, but it's obvious they're do

Good thing they made this move once daytime tv was basically irrelevant to anyone under 40 or it might've had some impact.

Essentially it's down to people having different tastes and standards regarding what they read. I adore world building so I gravitate to fantasy and scifi but I really don't care that much about characterisation. A story with a du

I'm a bit mystified by the hype for murderbot. I read it and thought it was OK but a lot of people rave about it. Still not every book is for every person, it didn't connect with me but it very obviously has its fans.

Or they recognised the fundamental problem which is that LLM's will kill the motivation for people to upload new information to feed the LLM's with. If websites can't earn a living through ads because LLM's don't se

Google photos is awesome. I genuinely love it, I've been uploading my old travel photos to it and every few days my phone reminds me of some old memories.

I'm pretty sure humans have been finding ways to unproductively waste time for millenium... I'm not sure how watching lightweight videos on subjects you're curious about is any worse than how people wasted time in the past? P

Aren't we training it that way though? It would be trained/created using humanities collective ramblings?

I doubt there's ever going to be a big bang moment where self driving just works everywhere. Instead it's going to be a slow rollout of self driving taxi's in increasingly different environments.

bayofpigs, I feel it necessary to tell you that your account seems to be shadowbanned? Like 80% of your comments have been [dead]/not shown since your account creation in 2013 and as far as I can see there appears to be no good reason

They'll have to figure it out because people aren't gonna write content just for openai to scrape it, the economics don't work.

I think they're gonna have to pay. The way reddit limited access to their API and got google to pay for access. Some variation of that but on a wider scale.

I think it was the switch from desktop search traffic being dominant to mobile traffic being dominant, that switch happened around the end of 2016. Google used to prioritise big comprehensive articles on subjects for desktop users but mobil

Well that's also an issue, the audience that wants a smaller phone is also spread across all the price points that the regular audience is. So it's even less viable for manufacturers to make small phones.

I'm sorry to say this, but again just face the reality of the fact that not enough people truly want this size of phone. There's a congregation of people on HN who do, I suspect they're also the type of people who'll run

I've been hearing this sentiment for 10+ years, but it's been tried and each time it's tried it doesn't sell well enough.

I think the Waymo approach is the one that will actually deliver some measure of self driving cars that people will be comfortable to use. It won't operate everywhere, but it will gradually expand to cover large areas and it will keep

I think the robotaxi might be the only actual viable approach to developing fsd. You control the hardware and software, you drive in real world conditions, you can deploy regionally and control the hours and conditions you operate in lettin

I would expect self driving cars to be a lot quicker and more available than uber. Plus lets be honest Americans love their cars, a lot of them are never going to give them up on the principle of the thing, but their kids are likely to reac

I think the key issue is that "owning" a car comes with a lot of expectations on behalf of existing customers. People are going to say that if they own it they should be able to mod it as they please, is that actually practical wi

I'll be honest, I think they're just saying this so as not to spook anyone. But really I think they plan to build a massive, super convenient robot taxi service across the country and by the time their self driving tech is "r
