Nobody serious believes this. OpenAI may be eating up consumer mindshare - but Google are providing some of the most capable, best, cheapest and fastest models for dev integration.

Impressive model - but I'm confused by the knowledge cutoff. AI Studio says it is January 2025 (which would be impressive) but querying it for anything early 2025 or mid/late 2024 and it self-reports that it's cutoff is in 20

Download and read the manual before buying a product. I avoided buying an air filter recently because the manual made it clear that there was no auto mode, which I would have expected at the price. Downloading the manual may have helped Jef

uBO being so good at blocking YouTube ads to the point where you didn't need to signup for Premium may have been the tipping point for Google that ended manifest V2.

They're nailing them in Australia, too. They'll surpass Tesla in EV sales likely this year. This would have been unthinkable a few years ago. The Chinese EV's and hybrids are brilliant - the US market doesn't know what i

FDR bending the Neutrality Act to support France and Britain is an important part of WW2 history - he was doing it before the invasion of Poland. It's exactly what the Ukrainians are asking for - not troops, just weapons.

Curtis heavily applies quick cuts, emotive footage, authoritative English narration and emotional music to lull the viewer into his views. His message wouldn't work as written essays or books because they're just not very deep - i

Looks like a white hat audit from Snyk testing. Got flagged because oastify.com is a default Burp Collaborator server. They should be running a private npm repo for tests (not difficult to override locally) and also their own collaborator s

I'd like to replace my NAS using a mini - but Apple segment the market on disk. A "dumb" NAS 2.5" SSD drive array plugged into one via ~~firewire~~, and then out to the network via the Mac Mini would work. edit: thunderb

I now only use Google for local search. Regarding incentives - with Perplexity, ChatGPT search et al. skinning web content - where does it leave the incentive to publish good, original web content? The only incentivised publishing today is

I don't think Tesla have an advantage in manufacturing. China today is what Japan was in the 70s and their processes are so fucking good. You can't win on manufacturing - this is, after all, a nation that is now building Volvo&#x2

I agree, but these are moonshot announcements that should sit isolated from the core business. The same thing that Google (ironically) did with X - which led to Waymo, which now already has autonomous taxis[0] You can't keep perpetuall

This is why I want a pragmatic operational industry expert CEO[0] for Tesla, in the same way Shotwell is for SpaceX. Announce and do the far stuff, but at the same time ship the near things that people want. A pragmatic auto CEO would have

Here's an idea - take the Robocab car design, strip out all the FSD/autopilot stuff, put in a steering wheel and dash and sell it starting at the end of the year for ~$25k. It would sell +++

Matt - that's their job. They're making a complaint against you and Automattic. The onus is on you now to respond. The best venue for that is the courts, not online forums and social media (that was 2 weeks ago).
