https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waymo_Ojai Are you sure about that? Google is probably one Trump bribe away from being tariff exempt for these.

Zeekr can surely outbuild and undercut any US firm by a wide margin.

Apple allegedly uses Samsung screens in the Duo so they ought to be the exact same.

It's not AI, this dude has been boasting about his workstation in every article he writes for as long as I can remember.

Yep. All online maps, google, apple, bing, osm, it's all transverse mercator. Only google earth actually runs a full globe.

Why wouldn't you know that? It's a set of preloaded stock photos, it's always gonna be the same number.

"The problem with dogs is that they're not human." You can make this case for pretty much anything? Are cars human? Are excavators human? The universe does not exist to cater to the human experience, it just is. Not everythin

It does make me wonder if the era of foldable phones is finally here. Apple probably wouldn't bother making one if the tech wasn't there yet, despite the questionable experimentals others have been peddling for years now. Or it&#x

Haha yeah was about to post this very comment. I'm glad to see they have their priorities in order instead of checks notes supporting MP4 on Linux, the most common type of goddamn encoding. GoPro footage literally does not work with

I don't think any Mistral model can match an open 30B-sized Qwen from a year ago, so right now they're not really a competitive alternative to anything at all. Except Voxtral perhaps, but that's very niche.

I think in this case, the contract workers are the ones taking the L, generally. Taxis are not overpriced just from a lack of competition, but because they are an actual full time job with all that comes along with it, and not well.. part t

"Do nothing, win." is already China's strategy after all. Though they are far from doing nothing in the LLM space.

Oh one hand sure, on the other, moving fast and breaking things is exactly where the customer ends up footing the bill or suffering damages.

Well the only place they were ever able to compete with are open models, which is by definition completely unprofitable (unless they also want to compete with Vast or Openrouter as hosting for their models or something), so that sort of mak

Now you two just need to figure out the eventual transition into woodworking and you've officially done the lot ;)

Well if you go by total extinction, then even Skynet in Terminator doesn't count given that there were people left over to resist. I don't think it's impossible to upset the balance of value in a Mansa Musa kind of way that c

It's a consistent source of unintentional comedy at least.

It doesn't really have to go nearly that far, something like replacing most jobs and collapsing the global economy while making people into mindless idiots from constant reliance on it would do it already. The interpretation of 'd

Yeah it's hard to argue that their points are technically incorrect, after all this is the mobile ARM ecosystem we're talking about, with buggy ass locked down binary blobs with more security holes than swiss cheese that are never

> NONE That's exactly my point. Imagine for a second that there's no Pixel. What would GOS do? They could either ship nothing at all because suddenly nothing fits their made up standards, or they would have to lower them to f

It's a reasonable extrapolation of the current state. They want up to date patches, Google is already winding down open support for that, and it'll release in what, a year or two? Basically guaranteed to have outdated security pat

I'd send them a GDPR request, if I had an reason to use their fifth rate cloud models.

I'd like to know too, I mean GPTs are in their own class of cringe, but Opus is by far the worst of all Anthropic's models in terms of style, Fable 5.0 was already leagues better.

Oh but I think it can demonstrate the lack of it. There's a distinct difference between learning by memory and learning by understanding, and the only indicator is being able to explain it in a novel way. After all you can also memoriz

I think that in and of itself shows the broader problem: nobody knows what the fuck is going on anymore. Things are changing too quickly, technologically at an unprecedented speed and as a consequence socially in unpredictable ways. We&#x27
