Seems to be missing the Etrog? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citrus_taxonomy#Citrons Also, the "click to show search results" is cool but fails for "Arizona Citron" in obvious ways.

There are certainly cases of Greek/Latin without any punctuation at all, typically in a historical context. Chinese & Japanese historically did not have any punctuation whatsoever.

Not all languages have such well-defined and commonly used delimiters. Is this "English only"?

Yes! I'm in the same boat! My guess is that there's something in the backend (image cache/storage size) that presents as a cost/logistical problem instead of as a technical one.

I don't get it. What am I looking at?

Is there a linux equivalent of this setup? I see some mention of RDNA support for linux distros, but it's unclear to me if this is hardware-specific (requires ConnectX or in this case Apple Thunderbolt) or is there something interesti

Still doesn't exactly say what it is ? I get that it's glyphs for printable characters, but honestly it could be a PDF, video, collection of PNGs or SVG files, an Adobe Illustrator file, a linux distribution, a web browser, or p

You think a fighter jet should run Ruby on rails instead?

What's the pricing like? Taking an Uber/Lyft all the way from Mountain View to SF is outrageously expensive, I presume Waymo is the same?

The ultimate "out of sight out of mind" solution to a problem? I'm surprised that Google has drunken the "Datacenters IN SPACE!!!1!!" kool-aid. Honestly I expected more. It's so easy to poke a hole in these sy

I presume the motivation is performance optimization? It would be more compelling to include some of the benefits in the announcement?

Just think of the untapped market of fresh 9 year olds who've never seen/played the game before. It's infinite, there will always be more people who have never played Minecraft.

Someone found the literal HCF instruction.

This looks awesome, but there's absolutely no way I'm installing an app for this, sorry.

Oh it's exciting, but not as exciting when sama pumps GPT-5 speculation and the market thinks we're a stones throw away from AGI, which it appears we're not.

But premium customers can choose from several UI colors to customize the look!

GPT-5 is likely much cheaper to serve, and that's the "big win" here, not necessarily any improvement in output.

Yeah, this very much feels like "we have made a more efficient/scalable model and we're selling it as the new shiny but it's really just an internal optimization to reduce cost"

Watching ollama pivot from a somewhat scrappy yet amazingly important and well designed open source project to a regular "for-profit company" is going to be sad. Thankfully, this may just leave more room for other open source loca

Because integrating directly with very large varities of editors & environments is actually kind of hard? Everyone has their own favorite development environment, and by pulling the LLM agents into a separate area (i.e. a terminal app

I love these videos and his enthusiasm for the problem space. Unfortunately, it seems to me that the progress/ideas have floundered because of concerns around monetizing intellectual property, which is a shame. If he had gone down a

Why? Isn't it one of the most important aspects of this product?

Just think: This company is 5 years old. That's just 1825 days, or 43800 hours, and they've created $32B of "value" in that time. That's an average rate of almost $750k/hour continuously. Incredible.
