Hate to agree, but with the underhanded tactics that Google is pulling with RCS, Meta is actually the sane and ethical company in the room.

> plus the fact that Google actually shoehorns RCS in countries where they think they can get away with it. This is the real thing that nails down "RCS" as a totally google thing. Google will forcefully enable RCS for people o

> it also looks like this needs to be agent-initiated, ie. you can't add a "Text us" button that will take you to this experience. This is correct as of when I researched RCS capabilities. Not sure if it's changed at

Twilio, Bandwidth etc. are gatekept by Google and are basically just a middleman reselling Google's product. Every single customer on the planet reachable via "RCS for Business" is through Google's servers and the Google

> They may not be able to register with Google, but they can make an RCS app nonetheless. They can make a "standards compliant" RCS which will be able to connect to literally zero carriers or servers on the planet. In fact Goog

It's unfortunate that RCS is basically a de-facto Google walled garden in most countries. On android you can only use RCS in the Google Messages app and trying to build your own is explicitly blocked. [1] And of course the bonus that

I never really thought about cows having the ability to problem solve like that. It makes sense that she learned this just because she had a better setup than most cattle. It really makes you wonder what else they could do if they had more

It looks like a simple way to schedule things without all the annoying ads you usually see. It is nice that you do not have to make an account just to set up a quick meeting.

The performance gain from using a single shared vector for the nodes is pretty crazy. It just goes to show how much allocation overhead can slow things down if you are not careful.

The example about the founder losing a hundred million dollars to taxes is painful to read. It makes sense why Cayman is becoming the standard now that big investors are accepting it. The old default of opening a Delaware C Corp seems like

It is interesting to see how the Japanese market validates the idea of sharing information instead of hiding it. I get annoyed when companies hide their features behind a contact form because I just want to do my own due diligence. Giving p

I find it so annoying that they disable the NFC readers on their terminals just to force people to scan a QR code. It makes the whole checkout process feel completely outdated compared to every other store.

I think it is kind of scary that they bypassed the stalking protections just by changing the device ID constantly. It is really clever engineering to use random peoples phones as a data mule but it feels like a security hole.

It is annoying that the library does not just give you the query duration by default. I like that this fix does not require messing with the library internals but it is still a bit of work to set up just to get basic logs.

It is such a relief to see someone say you do not have to delete your accounts to be healthy. I find myself opening these apps purely out of habit when I am bored or anxious. The idea of pausing to ask yourself why you are logging in is som

I was under the impression that once you have a vulnerability with code execution, writing the actual payload to exploit it is the easy part. With tools like pentools and etc is fairly straightforward. The interesting part is still finding

Interesting they are releasing a tiny (30B) variant, unlike the 4.5-air distill which was 106B parameters. It must be competing with gpt mini and nano models, which personally I have found to be pretty weak. But this could be perfect for

This is a really cool example of transferring domain knowledge from one field to another. It is impressive that the same math for lasers can help you fold a beetle from one sheet of paper. I need to find a way to pivot my own side projects

It is really good that they are taking steps to remove this stuff. You can usually tell right away when something was not written by a human.

Agents can complete an impressive amount of tasks with just this, but they quickly hit a bottleneck in loading context. A major reason for the success of agentic coding tools such as Claude and Cursor is how they push context of the proble

Companies doing SEO for lead generation have been ruining search results for years now. I've searched for basic car questions so many times and gotten low effort articles from some random dealership in Kentucky or Ohio [1]. No, Toyot

The author is right that usage is dropping, but that really has no bearing on whether or not it is open source. Technologies get replaced all the time regardless of the license they use.

I like the idea that we moved from cathedrals to megachurches because it explains why everything feels so corporate now. It is easy to forget that the messy bazaar is still underneath all the shiny tools we use.

It is annoying how often our offline metrics look perfect while the actual A/B test shows zero lift. The article explains that gap really well by framing recommendations as an interventional problem rather than just an observational on

This is basically just a massive database of litter that documents what people threw in the canal over the centuries. It is interesting to see the materials change as you scroll from the older dates up to the present day.

I had assumed the delay was technical but it turns out it was mostly about finding a business model that worked for everyone. It is good they finally settled on a shared infrastructure approach so they do not have to crowd the tunnels with

The article mentions 7-OH also known as feel free, which shockingly hasn't been banned and is sold without checks at many stores. There are quite a few Youtube videos talking about addiction to it and it sounds awful. https:/&#x

The guardrails clearly failed here because the model was trying to be helpful instead of safe. We know that these systems hallucinate facts but regular users have no idea. This is a huge liability issue that needs to be fixed immediately.

It is pretty disappointing to see legitimate engineers getting mixed up in these crypto schemes just because the money is there. The article makes a good point that buying the coin does literally nothing for the software itself, so it is ba

The comparison to artisanal furniture really lands because we do spend way too much time on the basics. It would be nice to just assemble the pieces we need and move on to the interesting work.
