Is Meta or Microsoft buying Chrome a good outcome?

is that based on feelings or facts?

Looking at this case and the recent case against SpaceX (which is required to only hire US permanent residents and citizens) for not hiring asylees, makes me think DOJ which has the bandwidth to only work on few very important cases isn&#x2

Is Chrome being run so bad that we need even more committees, councils and bureaucrats to implement every single feature ? Microsoft is already using the Chromium and changing the default search engine to Bing and shipping it as Edge. What

I believe most people use AI to help them quickly figure out how to use a library or an API without having to read all their (often out dated) documentation instead of helping them solve some mathematical challenge

I have carefully picked the people I follow on Twitter (mostly scientists and CS people) so the feed is ok but every time I try to use it for recent news/events, it's so full of spam it's unusable. I like the community notes

The "computer use" demos are interesting. It's a problem we used to work on and perhaps many other people have always wanted to accomplish since 10 years ago. So it's yet to be seen how well it works outside a demo. What

IMO Apple and Google app store are the same thing. It'd be ridiculous if Epic sued Pepsi and Coca Cola for something about their Soda and the same court ruled against Pepsi but for Coca Cola.

I don't believe in nationalizing anything and there just needs to be competition. Even if we do want to nationalize anything for security reasons, defense contractors should be at the top on the list but they have already bought the US

No, Epic vs Apple and Epic vs Google ruling shows how inconsistent the ruling are on such a common sense situation. So I don't want Google to be broken up and lose business only for MS, Apple, Amazon and Facebook to gobble up its busin

Good lawyers or BS legal system?

If the court is less consistent in its ruling than perhaps any tennager in the US in this case then I wonder what other cases they are adjudicating

I'm trying to parse this proposed law. What does a "full shutdown" mean in the context of an LLM? Stopping the servers from serving requests? It sounds silly idk.

These analyses don't make any sense. The people born in China right now are much more influenced by a combination of contemporary Western and Chinese media/tech than anything having to do with ancient Chinese dynasties. Same is tr

complain all you want but without Google web would've been an obsolete platform. You had to write things in iOS, or Facebook OS or potentialy Azure Intelligent Cloud API.

Instagram ads are as big as Google ads if not bigger (ask any teenager) but this DOJ is on a mission it seems.

I agree that the top row on a macbook keyboard shouldn't be replaced because some of the keys are essential there. I'm imagining a touch screen right next to the trackpad that displays the short cuts to common functions of the cur

I haven't had a Mac with touch bar but I can see the point of the idea: You have a keyboard and mouse as inputs to a Mac. why not a mini touch screen as well? but instead of rendering the app content there you render the controls. this

Of course you think this way because you're the consumer of the free ad-funded internet services.

Here's my take: The lawsuit started under Trump DOJ as a political stunt because Google resembled wokeness and the party of freedom and family values (Republicans) wanted to show how tough they are to their constituents. A few republic

That can be fixed with Garmin notification sound being treated as a notification sound. Adding per app volume control is IMHO a really bad UX. It means there's a master volume and then per app volume is like a coefficient the app volum

I'm with you that AI is overhyped but your suggested feature is "per app volume mixers" like in Windows? What's the use case on a mobile phone to warrant the extra complexity?

Let's be concrete here. What's a "privacy minded" search engine exactly? Do you mean you don't want the search engine to correlate your query with what you clicked on? or any other feedback from user interactions to

The feature is great. It's not new idea. We were thinking of something like this 10 years ago on Android phones but the compute and battery life wasn't and still isn't there. So I will use it if it's executed right. Howe
