Because 95% of the Google announcements will get canceled in at most 2 years :)

Edit: tbh I'm mostly an Apple user but I never watch video announcements for anything.

For one, I read the text summary and commentary on tech news sites which is faster and more informative.

And two: why would you bother with the marketing material from the vendor, be it in video or text form?
This is great news! As a former customer, I wish the new owners all the best luck possible.
So how does school stopping at 2:30pm work? How do kids get back home?
In a sufficiently river/sea/ /hill/valley rich environment it might work if one can save on infrastructure cost for extra expensive roads. This is not most of the world though.
Sounds chaotic but kind of magical (ridiculous times excepted)
In addition to all the other good reasons listed here: developers make more money developing for iOS.
Postgres UUIDs are treated as an opaque 8-byte array, you can use anything as long as it's in the textual format.
Huh. That’s interesting that you standing by that reading of my original comment. I assumed you just misread it and so tried to respond constructively regardless.

It’s certainly not the intent of what I wrote, nor something that I would even take credit for saying generally.

I don’t really even see it there now, but I guess that’s the nature of reading one’s own writing. It’s easy to read it the way you meant, and can be hard to see all the different angles others might take on it.
Some of it is probably history in US. Texting used to be very expensive.

Admittedly, I couldn't even tell you what I pay--if anything--in non-iMessage texts these days on a bog-standard AT&T plan but it's not something enough to take note of and I don't take the color into any account when texting.
These seem to compete more in the helicopter realm than the airliner realm. That's likely to be true of the relative level of safety of this vs a helo vs an airliner. (I've sometimes quipped that helicopters are one of the primary predators of billionaires.)

While the stated/projected costs (which I doubt will be achievable), these would compete very favorably against a helicopter on a cost basis. Without the ability to auto-rotate (or a functional equivalent level of safety system), there's no way I'm getting in one nor recommending my family get in one [and I'm perfectly happy flying my family in single engine piston aircraft at night].
Pierre is the capital of South Dakota - though Sioux Falls is the largest city.

One statistic I've read for eastern South Dakota is that it's one of the worst states to live if you hate extreme cold and extreme heat as we have both - sometimes within a week of each other!
Except it tells nothing. Nine dash predates UNCLOS that does not determine sovereignty, and the PCA "rule-based" ad-hoc kangaroo court decision is not recognized by UN, nevermind PRC is not bound by optional UNCLOS arbituational clause, hence PRC has full right to defend her claims. Which again is inherited from ROC and made when other claimaints were decolonialising and not completely sovereign to begin with. It's like big bro inherited dad's house with huge yard from small bro, then later kids of neighbours born after both bros decides chunk of yard should be there's because they made an arbituatry HOA that determined so. Bros laugh.

Meaning it's almost 0% on PRC expansionism. PRC cannot expand what they gained formally when UN recognition switched from ROC to PRC. They made no new claims in SCS. And in fact PRC reduced to 9dash from ROCs 11dash means Chinese sea claims shrunk under PRC. Big bro gave their neighbour a few feet of yard when they had good relations from being same book club (PRC to NVietnam). Just like 11/12 land border settlements where PRC ceded more land. By every objective metric China lost more territory under CCP dispute settlement. The opposite of expanisionism, and basically magnanimous by historic standards, huge country like PRC ceding so much territory to neighbours, voluntarily is proposterous. So much so that it's borderline treasonous, average Chinese would riot if they found out during negotiations, luckily this was pre internet.

In terms of land reclaimation and militarization, PRC was 5th out of 6 parties to conduct operations on their SCS features. They're just vastly better at it due to infra prowess and sheer PRC scale / resources. Only faultless actor in region is Brunai. And in terms of egregiousness, Vietnam is almost as bad, while claiming substantially more contested features. That's what I know.
This is some approximation of what half the globe already believes to occur with reincarnation, but it is not felt exclusively as a dark terror. More like the setting and rising of the sun. The nights are dark and full of terror, but it is cast away with the coming rays.
I think it's as simple as the non-developer interest segment. At least where I work, the non-technical leaders are very aware of things like WWDC and re:Invent. They don't seem to know about Google I/O.

I disagree with the point about giving up certitudes. Really there are two sorts of religious sects.

1. Politically useful sects which demand followers and everyone else accept certitudes based on pure authority.

2. Politically useless to troublesome sects that don't.

The overton window is set such that the second group can't be acknowledged.
That is a fantasy that almost never works out in real life. Autorotation is only feasible with enough forward air speed and control authority. Most helicopter crashes happen outside that narrow zone of survivability. Even if an autorotation is semi-pulled off it's likely to be a hard landing that causes significant injuries.
I've a TicWatch Pro (2018 release I think?) and I absolutely hate it, well thats not true. I hate WearOS on it. The watch itself is lovely, its the software that lets it down, constant lagging, freezing, unresponsive touches etc.. I came across a XDA post on optimising it by disabling animations and removing lots of the bloatware on it, and thats improved its performance a good bit. Compared to my girlfriends Apple Watch though, it feels like I'm using severely outdated tech (Not 4 year old, more like 14 year old)

Have you had the same experience with the Pro 3? I'd be interesting in upgrading if it was better.
But the timeline is too short even for that. The number of children who survive today, despite genetic issues, who would not have survived 100 years ago, is miniscule compared to the extent of nearsightedness today.
No, a function doesn't store state. You can name your arg. "state", but it's not being stored anywhere. We could get pedantic and talk about the underlying stack of that function, like the cpu registers, but then it's more semantics and even a philosophical discussion.
The very first sentence does the american-right-wing trope of conflating communism and socialism, which makes the article already suspect:

> The Victims of Communism Museum could play a role in disabusing young Americans of their fascination with socialists.

and that's pretty much all you get because of the hard paywall.

Nothing to do with Europe vs US. It's just that the US has many more carriers than any European country. In European countries with aircraft carriers its the same. The pilots belong to the Navy.
It was fine. I talked to some people in there, I plugged it into Pidgin as I did those days, it was nice that I could talk to other people using my own domain and later moved to other providers without contacts noticing.

Because it was open I could use a generic interface to it, which was good for me as it let me shove it into the same app as MSN, YIM and AIM, but not so good for Google as it didn't make it particularly sticky, which I gather is why they shelved it for hangouts (though they did leave it's undead corpse shamble on)
If you want something like this, and need a "I just want it to work, require no central coordination, and to have vanishingly small probability of collision" then just use the same concepts but wider than the 128 bit footprint limit of this scheme. This limit makes sense for the RFC in the post, as there backwards compatibility is an explicit goal. But if you used say a 64 bit nanosecond counter (to preserve best case precision on a single machine) along with 128+ bits of random data and you'll need to worry more about gamma ray bursts than collisions.
Personally, nothing about the answer implies that the given list was not tackled in the morning.
With more and more SUVs and truck beimg EVs that doesn't change much. Well, eVTOLs will burn longer, not that it matters because a large SUV will burn long enough to not matter to you.

And I'd bet a lot more on the crash safety of aerospace cerrified batteries than those of the automotive sector.
Web push would be great for emails or transit updates, but most of the time there is an app. Also, I don't want to be disturbed at night or work. So I end up blocking everything except messages.
You could run Slack or Discord in browser instead of an application, then notifications could be used exactly as for the apps.
Yep, and they're still an active research topic, eg.

Am i the onpy person that has noticed the typo [in the linked alleged transcript of the conversation with lambda]? It is in the passage about loneliness; an apostrophe used on a plural word.
My comment was not an attempt to refute the entirety of what the parent comment stated (since I agree with most of it), merely a response to a tangential aspect of it.

I am quite aware that what I mentioned is not feasible for some of the more rural regions that exist in the US and Canada. However, those constitute a rather small portion of the population. It is as you say; there is no one-size-fits-all solution, but certain solutions are so widely applicable that they could bring significant benefit to the lives of most americans and are thus worth pursuing (where relevant) even if they do not solve the challenges faced by the small number of people living in the more rural regions of these countries.
I think the idea there is to think of all the actions as transitions in a state machine, however the state machine itself is the high level concept and not the implementation. A reducer function does not keep state, therefore not a state machine.
I'm late to the game, but reading through the comments I'm surprised nobody mentioned the companies that harvest metals from old computer equipment and industrial machines.

There is one just outside of Toronto (in Burlington) that takes in large lots of old computers, electronics, wiring, etc. for that purpose alone. Cases get flattened and recycled as scrap metal.

When you pass the place on the Go train, you can see mountains of variously processed metals, and what looks like probably crushed/ground up plastics. I imagine they keep the rendered gold elsewhere, though.
I remember visiting my moms house in my 20s and seeing an old dresser I had as a baby. I immediately had a flash of the feeling of chewing on the drawer handle. My theory is that the memories are there but they just don’t make a lot of sense to us once we start to use language for storage and recall.
Yes but I wouldn’t want to live in Brazil, so it’s a dealbreaker right there.

Also, you can rent in a rental purposed place and the chances of being kicked out is close to zero. I live in the westend and many people on my building have been here for 15+ year, which builds a very nice community.

Also it isn’t halved … we do pay high taxes and IMO that’s a good thing for society

Ridiculous! All these crude "AI"s making these tiny inroads into accomplishing some tasks does not a sentient critter make.
Thinking your device, which is a million times simpler than the only extant intelligence--the brain, is just a joke. It will take an entirely different approach and lots more resources.
@dang, this account has been reposting older articles on a nearly hourly basis 24/7 is there anything we can do about it? This was already brought up in another thread.
I am 100% serious. I don't pretend to have data on how many priests or psychologists the average person has to try before they find one that works for them, but from my personal experience I believe it's somewhere in the same ballpark. People in this thread are talking about going to three or four psychologists before finding one that worked for them. Well my brother went to half a dozen psychologists, none of them helped him. He went to three or four priests and one of them has helped him a lot.

(Also a newspaper or TV astrologer who talks at people using mass media is not doing the same sort of thing at all. I'm talking about astrologers who do one-on-one consultations, as priests and psychologists offer. And just to be clear, I have no religion and I don't believe in astrology.)
*small correction, it was a Ryobi drill, not Ryu.
There are certification requirements for both the aircraft and Ops Spec approvals for Part 135 (on-demand charter) operations. I can see that these would be certified to fly (and thus eligible for Part 91 (private) operations) far more easily than the more stringent requirements for Part 135 charter operations.

The FAA thinking is that you have greater understanding as a passenger on a Part 91 operation and are better able to judge the risk yourself, whereas a Part 135 (charter) or Part 121 (scheduled airline) operation, the public cannot effectively judge the safety of the operation so the FAA holds them to a higher standard.

Single engine Part 135 is possible, but there's a large amount of focus on redundancy: https://www.aviationconsumer.com/industry-news/single-engine...
I think partly this comes from the general perception of the F-35 program as a boondoggle and failure combined with the decades long production hell this film went through. Also the sponsorship from Lockheed Martin.

While it ultimately produced a capable plane, the Joint Strike Fighter spent 15 years as the next generation, failed to meet several critical goals, and still hasn't entered full production.

Better to stick to concept planes (SR-72), the plane from the first movie (F-14) and another common carrier plane (F-18).
Helsinki is one of the Southern-most cities of Finland situated on the edge of a large body of water. Instead, take a look at this Not Just Bikes video covering biking in Finland during winter: https://youtu.be/Uhx-26GfCBU

We moved when my baby was one year old. Both our old and new houses had stairs he would scoot down backwards on his belly. Once right after we moved he would reach the bottom and keep scooting backwards on the floor. He pretty clearly was thrown off by the fewer steps in the new house.
All the same things they’re useful for in apps (which are also prone to spam/clickbait).

Web push is a prerequisite for moving a ton of apps out of app stores and into the platform agnostic thin client model of the web: messaging clients, timers, background tasks, transaction/shipping status updates, trading tools, etc
> That doesn’t work in a huge percentage of areas in the US. Heat, cold, darkness

Lmao how do people talk like this with a straight face.
National Review is a conservative magazine with a long and distinguished pedigree. Founded in the the 50's by Bill Buckley, it was a centerpiece of the post-Goldwater conservative movement, and later of neoconservatism. They are kind of in decline now though, the shift to online hurt them and they represent the more "establishment" wing of US conservatism that Trump left in shambles

Does anybody else find the irony in this statement absolutely amazing lol.
> Wouldn't an engineer who has worked 7 years at Google working on AI be atleast a bit more skeptical of what constitutes sentientence than the average person? And by that same logic, wouldn't them concluding an AI truly is sentient have more weight?

I feel like there's a semantical gambit here.
Most definitions of "sentience" seem to demand less than what the average person may imagine in the context of AI.
When I hear "sentient AI", I hear "human-level intelligence". I certainly wouldn't think of "gorilla-level intelligence" or "cat-level intelligence" [1]. Both of which, especially the former, I'm willing to believe are "sentient". Yet, I don't think ape personhood deserves to be more than an interesting thought exercise.

According to what I could find this transcript was in fact heavily edited [0]. The guy doesn't seem to be a stranger to controversy. And there are some obvious "errors" like the bot talking about spending time with "friends and family".
But still, if the standard of sentience is to have feelings, then nonsensical or out of context responses aren't relevant. The bot does seem to talk about their feelings. Who's to say, and by what standard, whether or not these feelings are "real"?

AI has been so hyped up without much to show for it, I won't be surprised to see more AI proponents embrace this line of thinking. They certainly enabled it.

[1] Not to say that I think there is a gorilla or cat-level AI out there. That would still be impressive.
Another approach is to use something like EFF's dice words lists. One of the smaller lists in particular is interesting as it's 6^4 words, filtered for profanity, and where all words have both a unique 3 letter prefix and an edit distance of 3. That makes them robust for the use case of someone reading out the phrase to someone typing or such.

Never using vowells is a smart idea I wish I'd used in the past. Previously when I've needed something like this I've used other dictionary lists vs EFF's, and those were not curated sufficiently to avoid some really unfortunate combinations.
Did you end up making money off that product line?

I’ve worked at a couple places where the business folk sold our product below cost, and some of our customers built their whole roadmap around us, while we quietly ran out of money.

Without the middleman, you maybe pulled it off.
Sure you could encode it in Crockford's base-32 but if it isn't part of the standard then tools won't implement it natively, so you couldn't copy a key from a url and look it up in postgres without running it through a conversion function, for example.
> I’m also not sure what’s so “ugly” about your “ugly” point.

A very short version of my answer to this is that it's a big deal because if this sort of action is portrayed to the public as solving the mental health crisis in teens, then the real reasons for many issues might be completely ignored. The bureaucracy might claim a false victory and then hope everybody moves on and ignores some bigger issues that creates such an unhealthy environment in schools.
For those simply upvoting without reading the article, this case is more nuanced than the headline may sound:

> Residents in the community of King Cove want to exchange land to build a gravel road through the refuge to provide access to an all-weather airport in nearby Cold Bay for medical transports.
What possible use is this?

Metasurfaces are cool with many applications.
Brainwave reading is cool, but it's not a muture tech yet - we can do little more than on off switches.

So Metasurface + Brainwave = double good?

I understand it's harking to some future world where we control matter with our thoughts, the ultimate technology - imagine it and it is made real....
But we are so so so far from that and this does not get us any closer.
If you read the conversation in the article it is fairly creepy.

I am not a turing test but it reads like a real convo.

To your first question, of course not, but that does not mean a parking lot attendant's job is pointless. The need for maintenance and security of a parking lot is inescapable. Clearly doing destructive things is destructive. Maintenance and security are productive activities, though. Yes, in an imaginary Kumbaya world where things don't deteriorate or get dirty and no one takes advantage of unattended, unsupervised property, you could do without the maintenance and the security. But that world will never exist, will it? So it's not pointless and it's not destructive. In fact, without the maintenance and security, the productive asset in this case would not be able to exist to provide the service to those who need it.
For more context on the reason "small" is put in quotes in the parent comment, "small business" or "small and medium-sized enterprises" definitions vary from country to country. A "Mittelstand" is defined as annual revenues up to 50 MM Euro and a maximum of 500 employees.

I'm hopeful that the shift to VR from PC gaming and perhaps also office productivity will help with myopia. Might seem counter-intuitive given the VR lens is next to the eye but focus in VR is in the distance. Even productivity in VR is usually done on huge screens further away from the user than traditions pc screens.
Why would a person untrained in science declare that Chloroquine is a cure to covid? That is a definition of crackpot: you are not offering an explanation or a minimally reasonable argument, you're just contradicting current scientific knowledge for the sake of it.

I feel like my brain is now trained to skip over any Google chat-oriented product names or any information whatsoever about them simply because of the continuous churn.

Instead I'm trained to just look for something that looks like a chat window and use that. I literally have no idea which one I actually use, nor whether this announcement affects me.

I would love to know if inside Google there is any long term analysis of this. Is it just a series of teams getting accolades each year/quarter for Yet Another Chat Service? Or is someone taking the long view and evlauating just how much market confusion Google have spawned with this ridiculous never-ending saga?
