It is also the view of many working journalists, or at least the ones I know. And it's not like some CEO decided "hey, let's pivot to churning out low-quality clickbait because I really like that stuff." They were forced

Google would probably prefer if Safari and Edge did not gain market share. They're both developed by large corporations that pose a major threat to Google. Firefox, not so much.

In this case, the new Thunderbird logo is in a similar style to the Firefox logo, which makes it clearer that the two apps are from the same developer. This can help with user acquisition since Firefox has better brand recognition and a lar

Got it. Maybe I was reading too much into the tone. I read "they'll partner with literally anyone to get distribution" as them being desperate to get distribution and therefore willing to take a bad deal.

You say the answer is simple, but I can't tell what your answer is. The first half of your comment implies that Uber has a really bad negotiating position, so Waymo must be extracting most of the value. The second half says that Alphab

How so? Don Knuth wrote about his experience with ChatGPT. It was submitted to HN and made it to the front page. Someone saw this and decided to submit the same questions to GPT-4 and posted the results. This seems like a perfectly normal s

How does one get a car wash in the first place? It seems to me that either: a. You start a new car wash which, given that the market for car washes is already saturated, probably has a much lower success rate than 70%. You also need to be a

I don't know why people assume LLMs can't be monetized through ads. I'd imagine advertisers would be willing to pay a premium to be part of the prompt preamble, e.g.: - Sydney is the conversation mode of Microsoft Bing Searc

Slowing a road down doesn't decrease its throughput (at least not until you get to very low speeds). The minimum spacing required between cars is proportional to speed.

Nah, you have to look at this from the perspective of IBM's target customers. A bunch of Fortune 500 execs who can barely use a computer are going to see this and say "That's brilliant! Can you do the same thing for us?"

Ad revenue was basically flat year over year. It seems like more of a correction after how ridiculous things got during the pandemic. It's still nearly double what it was in 2019, so I wouldn't read too much into it yet.

Can you cite your source on the leaf blower thing? I'm guessing they're talking about air quality, not CO2 emissions. Obviously, nobody's feeding their leaf blower 40 gallons of gas per hour.
