This right here. The ability to download actual MP3s from books you’ve purchased is a miracle in 2025. Plus, sending some change to your local bookstore is better than sending it to Amazon.

“Behind on AI” isn’t exclusive to models. Azure is raking in money on OpenAI compute and has an entire product line built out in Copilot. I’m not going to argue for the quality of those offerings, but it’s clearly positioned much better for

It’s crazy to still use a dehumanizing term like illegals when referring to people holding up large segments of the economy while being illegally underpaid by employers. Not even in a politically correct sense, it’s such an obviously propag

That niche is apparently called Hacker News judging by this thread. I can’t imagine putting Grok close to production regardless of how good the cherrypicked benchmarks are, especially when that can change at a moment’s notice if Elon has an

It’s pure magical thinking that would be correctly dismissed if it didn’t have AI attached to it. Imagine talking this way about anything else. “We’ve barely scratched the surface with Rust, so far we’re only focused on code and haven’t eve

I don’t think AOL ever topped 40 million users while a significant chunk of humanity uses Google. This entire conversation hinges on their unprecedented scale and reach, I don’t think this is an apt comparison.

Only on this website could you have someone confidently state that the genocidal colonizers of Spain “respected the culture.” This is so wrong and offensive it could be part of Grok’s system prompt.

This is not a forum that is capable of factoring in power dynamics in any economic discussion. The market is always perfect, everyone has equal opportunities to capitalize on their own labor as an entrepreneur, just negotiate with your empl

We really need to lock down semantics here, but I wouldn’t describe what you’re doing as vibe coding. Seems like we’re need a term for something between basic tab autocomplete and purely vibing without glancing at the code. If only to have

Maybe they could’ve tried to say something pro-linguistics, but the comment was entirely anti-LLM.

Everyone does their jobs differently due to innumerable variables, including life experience and cultural background. What exactly are you trying to accomplish here? Your bad faith anti-DEI rants are basically half this thread.

You say deep integration, yet there is still no way to send a Gemini Canvas to Docs without a lot of tedious copy-pasting and formatting because Docs still doesn’t actually support markdown. Gemini in Google Office in general has been a mas

Oh, that must’ve been in the last few days. Weird that it’s only in 2.5 Pro preview but at least they’re headed in the right direction. Now they just need a decent usage dashboard that doesn’t take a day to populate or require additional GC

Also that Gemini 2.5 still doesn’t support prompt caching, which is huge for tools like Cline.

Google Docs is the clunky mess here and gets away with it because they nailed collaboration early and competed with an even bigger clunkier mess in Microsoft Word. Word at least is a full featured word processor, whereas Google Docs is a st

Given how forcefully Meta has cracked down on this, this doesn’t feel like that big of a gotcha. Hell, she’s not even allowed to speak about it outside of congressional hearings because of Zuck’s lawyers. If not for her book, we wouldn’t be

Security is a big field. I’m in the CSPM space and Wiz is a major player here, I actually had a bit of an existential crisis about what we were building when I first saw a demo of their platform. Most of their competitors, like Palo Alto, h

Despite being relatively conservative, I don’t think The Rest is History would appeal to someone who thinks any telling of history that doesn’t fit a far-right worldview is “political.” There’s no such thing as politics-free history.

Why is this flagged? This seems like a pretty damn important tech story.

I don’t understand why you’re going through all these weird lengths to solve a problem that pronouns more optimally solve and cover more use cases (e.g. nonbinary people).

My biggest issue with Polars (don’t shoot me) was the poor LLM support. 4o at least seems to frequently get confused with Pandas syntax or logic. This pushed me to finally investigate the DuckDB hype, and it’s hard to believe I can just wri

Well, I couldn’t read that because Forbes is a nightmare that kept redirecting me to other articles but I’ll believe you. Pretty funny that the scheme didn’t work, I wish I had bought their deflated price stones when I had the chance.

Do you know something I don’t? Lightbox Jewelry is definitely still around and AFAIK it’s owned by De Beers. My understanding is this exists as an attempt to deflate the cost of lab growns. https://lightboxjewelry.com/

Interesting, I’m nowhere near a place where I’m thinking about the implementation yet so maybe I’ll poke your version a bit!

You’re not doing a great job of not rhetorically dunking on OpenAI when you imply that it must be for children, elders, or people who can’t be arsed to search. The comment was dripping with condescension towards the use of LLM search, and t

Completely agreed. At a certain point, “skills” became fighting a losing battle with Google incessantly pushing me towards whatever KPIs or ads they’re chasing. It’s a poor use of my effort and time to keep chasing what Google used to be.

They even broke this for me (in a way) because for some inexplicable reason Google blocks text replacement on Mac in their search. Yes there are workarounds, but I like using the native OS text expansion and it works everywhere except Googl
