Totally agree, our culture definitely focuses way too much on idolising wonderkids, which often isn't realistic and is far from the truth of how success usually happens. You see it so clearly in sports, it's often not the most nat

You know, as much as I want to agree, it feels a bit shallow to look at life that way. I've got tattoos, sometimes people ask me "What does this represent to you?" and honestly I never really know what to say because I don&#

Not sure if Google+ is a good analogy, it reminds me more of the Netscape vs IE fight. Netscape sprinted like it was going to dominate the early internet era and it worked until Microsoft bundled IE with Windows for free. LLMs themselves ar

I don't work close to LLM APIs so not sure what exactly is the use case here? Is it something that could be adapted to work as a deep research feature on a custom product?

The TikTok case in US might be a good playbook for the future. Require markets that US based companies have a near monopoly and require them to divest on EU and onshore operations. You solve tech hegemony and tax evasion in no time.

The Android assistant with Gemini is quite good nowadays, very close to parity of features with the previous one. It's not there yet but Google decided to develop it in the open, similar to the old "beta" products. Hard to se

As an Android user I have to disagree, at least if we're comparing apples to apples (could not resist the pun). Google Assistant with Gemini (or whatever its name is this month) is really remarkable at helping with mundane tasks, and I

So many questions: - why a no side-effects function on a database can be used to get lateral access to the whole database instance - why do you need to validate strings on the database itself and not on the client anyway, heck why are there

They're not in the business of finding the best ethical fulfilling investment. Their goal is to find nascent niches that can be packed as a trendy future industry and 10x the bag down other investors down the road. Period. It has worke

If the company owns both frontier models and chip design and they see the future moat is in inference why would they offer much more than what you get on Google Cloud? Is not as if they're gonna start competing with Nvidia in hardware

The main problem with chat is that there are too many angles to communication, making it impossible to fulfil all requirements with a single tool. Apple does IM, period, they don’t want any of the Slack-type team communications and that&#x2

If they're sure they can invade whenever they want, does it make sense to do it right now? What would they gain by sending all the good tech and researchers straight to the US? The longer they wait, the more advanced the tech they even

I mean, define what do you mean by ACTUALLY poor. It's very common for people living in traditional working-class neighbourhoods to own a house and suddenly become paper rich when gentrification happens (e.g. Venice Beach in LA). They

What about family-owned property? Lots of poor people live in multigenerational homes that might be the last step before not owning anything. Also, the fact that the housing market is this bad just means a large portion of the population wi

I don't understand Anthropic's reluctance to release this project as an npm package but not open-source it. Claude Code is such a great example of how agents could work in the future that the whole community could benefit from stu

I'm wondering about the practical implications of integrating web crawling. Could this, in theory, be used solely for reading papers from Sci-Hub and producing valid graduate-level research? It could be useful for comparing reports bui

Well, that’s one way to change things up. I guess Reddit is trying really hard to stay relevant with Google and OpenAI providing their answers without the traffic flow. This will only make the website feels less authentic, Reddit has always

Would your answer be the same if this encrypted data was stored in China instead of US? I don't think messages should ever leave the device, if you want to migrate to a different device this could be covered by that user flow directly.

I think the author is correct that more startups can be profitable earlier than they think. It comes down to making conscious decisions about hiring and focusing on customer value, it's that simple. The reason why that's not the c

You do realise that the UK government is, and always has been, notorious for surveillance. They haven't changed since before WW2 and probably never will, even if Apple suddenly decides to play hardball with them. And to be very, very h

I really wish they would sit down and negotiate this more openly. The silence from the other players is what really makes me uncomfortable. The fact that only Apple is making a stand against this ask is really scary.

Apple is in a really tough position. I don't know if there's any way they could fulfil the original request without it effectively becoming a backdoor. Disabling E2E for the UK market is just kicking the can down the road. Even si

The idea of a four-day week is very appealing to me as a parent. However, I believe its primary benefit isn't just boosting morale or reducing burnout, which already sounds like a win-win for both employees and the company. Instead, it
