In addition to the many great points made in the article, I would add that speed does a couple of other things for you: - The faster you finish work, the more time you have to make your work better - The faster you are even at things like b

IMO the killer app for AR is just working as an effective "personal display". Interactivity is a red herring. The Nreal Air is almost good enough already–it's not too conspicuous and great for watching movies on a big screen

Good summary and test cases. Not too surprised to see the result – I feel most commentators have preferred ChatGPT to Bard. In fact, on Bard's initial launch, I remember a lot of discussion expressing surprise that Google was as far be

Shameless plug: I built myself a little web app to send email summaries of top stories on Reddit, HN, and the latest from RSS feeds: www.bulletyn.co I still go on Reddit and HN throughout the day, but it's cut down a bit since I have t

Absolutely - they're in the catbird seat, and it makes sense that they would focus on AI/LLMs in earnings commentary to highlight potential future growth. But for now, Bing is still tiny compared to Azure, O365, Teams, etc., which

Not too surprising that Nadella's comments are focused on AI, even as the growth is all coming from legacy products (and not yet Bing Search or AI-powered products). I wonder how much Microsoft is benefiting in cloud sales from the &#x

Isn’t this just the numbers game from Countdown? This team could have come to the same idea on their own, but it’s a bit suspicious how similar it is…

When I was in high school I wrote a very basic Mac app that pretty much just wrapped some Terminal commands in a GUI. Somehow it got enough attention to get a small post from Gina on Lifehacker, which helped translate into thousands and tho

The Gen-Z GPT phone demo is really something. It's fascinating how differently I speak to this model compared to how I interact with more "formal" and text-first models.

I agree this data should be free and easy to access from the government. Personally, I've found weather.gov APIs hard to work with. There's no geocoding included, and you can't even use lat, lon directly. But the bigger dealb

FYI, the iOS Weather app does have this now. If you click on a day in the 10-day forecast, you get a detail view with hour-by-hour forecast data for many metrics. One of them is pressure (although I don't normally look at barometric pr

The $32 trillion figure in the letter is tax revenue over the decade ending in 2021. Berkshire's $32 billion (0.1%) is over the same 10-year period.

Wow. A disaster scene being filmed for a big-budget movie, and when the same disaster actually happens in the same place, it's largely overlooked - that's exactly the kind of thing that would happen in the book.

Interesting concept but what seems more compelling to me would be more like a Tiktok/Reddit hybrid. You log in and see content that "the algorithm" knows you'll like, but with an added element of community from people &q

I find this trend particularly ironic as it has come about at the same time as an explosion in the popularity of "user-centered design". It seems like, especially on the web, more and more companies are telling themselves they car
