Is there a way to ELI5 Google's primary business model without it coming across as spying on people? Very few have the same problem among FAANG and others.
> is one that will very likely need to be walked back at some point in the future for tech products No doubt, but that future is when companies have figured out proper fit for AI in their product context and preferably…
Its like companies handing over race cars to delivery drivers and telling them to drive responsibly but unofficially tell them that they expect reduced delivery times due to faster cars. Do you think the average rate of…
I've seen a variation of this where random engineers are pulled into production incident calls and engineers are not expected to be familiar with the system. They were asked to "just use AI" and understand the…
We both agree that there is a speed limit and it needs to be adhered to, regardless of who it is. The problem with Google is that it may have started at 8 over the limit, but it advertised itself as sticking to the…
There are solutions and then there are workarounds. what we see are workarounds, not solutions. Even in software, you can only patch so many workarounds without fixing the issue. Eventually fatigue sets in or we run out…
The goal is not to prevent a Google monopoly. The goal is to have competition to prevent Google abusing its monopoly to lock down users. There is Samsung Galaxy store.There is Xiaomi store.There was Amazon app store…
When do we stop this instinctive response of "well you can still do it in an only slightly convoluted way" everytime a corporate does something bad. Windows added ads - well you can disable them, if you don't like it.…
It would be interesting to see if anyone can recover behind the camera audio from 4K movies.
Is there really a good party with only the "right" things in their manifesto? Democracy usually does not come with À la carte options.
Person A: Did you know Google removed access to Pixel code repo. Person B: Well, it didn't go away, they just changed the access method to Google Drive. Saved us that conversation here, Thanks. No matter what mental…
Not sure why, but when I see certain diacritics with latin alphabet, my brain tries to place the language somewhere in Europe. I don't know if I can call that an exotic feeling but it certainly feels foreign.
Lets flip the question, does it have to be at the break neck pace that nobody can catch up without spending huge money? How many of those features were really organic, driven by actual pressing need and not driven by…
Chrome should be split, Firefox or its forks (if Mozilla continues to mismanage) should be able to receive funds from Google but Chrome should not be allowed to be paid for Google search engine placement at least for…
"We had a bug in our code, I fixed it" I've seen this so many times where the same individual introduced and fixed the bug, it is now funny. This is corporate team level equivalent of "Socializing losses and privatizing…
What if "owning" here means the same as "owning" any movie online. If questioned, I can already imagine someone defending that sort of agreement as a standard consumer, contractual terms and practices of the time.

The whole affair and the blog post feels like proxy signal to potential investors from OpenAI that they have now developed/acquired tech that is worth enough to grab Apple's attention ?
Can you elaborate on the plausible deniability part. Was your past employer trying to make best of the situation by hoping to fish for information about your next employer's projects via the consulting gig?

Yeah Firefox split view is useful for this. If any of those vim extensions support link+split, and allow interaction with splits that would be even better.
> Firefox only survives because of Google, and that's so they don't hit antitrust problems. Yes, that is what I meant. They should be hesitant to lockdown completely and (grudgingly even) allow alternative options…
It can and will most probably turn to indefinite time depending on the answer to the question "will we have a viable alternative to jump ship before that happens ?". We don't need anything to completely capture the…
I have tried the word you mentioned along with few other words together and there were no issues. It doesn't have to be a replacement. Anyone who has ever been in the physical presence of an expert reciting sanskrit…
I think complex Sanskrit words are difficult to roll off the tongue and pronounce if read in a dry manner specially if you don't already know the words or meaning, which unfortunately is true for the majority out there…
