> I agree that MS is executing well, but why would Google be afraid? There's no AI moat keeping anyone from replicating what MS is doing.

It's not an AI moat. It's about business models.

If MS takes even a small fraction of Google's search traffic, and/or convert a small fraction of people from Chrome to Edge, it'll hit Google's bottom line at the one place that's a huge majority of their revenue and profits. MS has nothing to lose and Bing GPT4 integration is very good.

Flip side, there's no area where Google is significantly threatening MS. Office suites: MS copilot announcements go significantly further than Google (Business Chat). Cloud: Azure's relationship with OpenAI and rapid product expansion could see it gain share.

MS is moving very quickly and coordinating across the entire company. Google is moving slowly. And company-wide execution? Well. That has never been their strong suit.
Oh, that would work out so well. Lower the values of the treasuries even more so the banks have to book even more losses when they have to sell them. That'll show them.

This tool allows to search for files through multiple websites, with an intuitive user interface. Similarily to what Jackett does, but for DDL (direct download) and streaming sources.

This removes the burden of having to search manually on multiple websites when looking for a specific piece of content, and also doesn't require the user to know which sites to search on.
The very first thing I noticed in the screenshots was the presence of arrows in the cloud cover/radar image. This immediately conveys where the storm is headed.

In contrast, one of my least favorite parts of the Apple weather app is the radar view --- in order to see where a storm is headed I need to open the map, select the 24 hour forecast, wait for all the data to load (often several seconds, if not more!), and then let the whole animation play out. What would take me less than half a second on Dark Sky ends up taking me 10-30+ seconds on Apple Weather.

Can you have more than one Google account per phone? Can you have a Cloud Identity Account without a Personal Account?
Exactly, it's super useful & frictionless.
Google's voice assistant is an interface to google cloud applications.

Siri is an interface to a limited set of the apps on the iPhone.

These are fundamentally different architectures for how how each was designed along with implications for privacy and where the company has compute resources that can be used.

If you are after a general knowledge search engine, Google will certainly out preform Siri.

Google has better cloud integration for a lot of their functionality. Apple doesn't have that amount of cloud resources that it can use and is a device first company rather than a cloud first company.

If you want to say "android can search google better" Ok. I'll grant that. If that makes it "smarter" - ok. Android is smarter than Siri because it can search google better.

If you want to say "android can control apps on its phone better" - I really want to see evidence that the ability for Android to control 3rd party music apps (e.g. Spotify) or report the weather or calendar or set up alarms... I don't believe that android is any better than Siri in that regard.

If you want to chat with it (e.g. "what is the answer to life the universe and everything?") then those are cute responses that are programmed in.

Do you have other criteria that you are using to compare the different devices other than its ability to search Google?

For now Google's counterparts still rate better on interoperability (CalDAV, CardDAV).
I don't think it's silly. Network effects are why Parler failed and Twitter succeeded (thus far at least!), or betamax failed, etc. These things don't succeed or fail for technical reasons, and develop into distinctly different complex systems as a result of in some cases trivial technical differences (or even none) when the people using them are taken into account. And in the case of cryptocurrency in particular, the network effects (even outside of simple success or failure) are ultimately what make it secure/trustworthy or not. Some of the network effects are incentivized by technical measures, like mining rewards, but the stuff I'm talking about here is incidental.

The point is that the community/network/whatever that formed around bitcoin isn't centralized, so even for relatively "tame" changes like taproot, nobody could agree and it took years to merge regardless of technical merit. For better or worse and for a wide number of reasons I can speculate about, the equivalent social structure around Ethereum is far more centralized around the will of Vitalik and a handful of others, and they've demonstrated repeatedly (except around the ETC debacle which has mostly fizzled) that they can get the whole network to adopt even fairly complex and risky changes. Monero regularly forks, and even though it doesn't have a formalized leadership structure, is able to get changes rolled out. Same with ZEC and the electric coin company. Be it a single person, a pseudonym, an organization, or whatever, everything but bitcoin has forked repeatedly, which indicates a degree of central control (and thus central benefit, from the POV of regulators). In most cases outside of bitcoin, the founders have also enriched themselves enormously by remaining in control.

Contrast with the attempted forks of bitcoin: BCH was a huge mess and has been slowly fizzling out for years. BSV is a joke. Yes you could create a new fork today, but the whole point is that the difference isn't technical, it's a network. The network is partially technical (there are still lots of miners that won't mine your new fork) but is also cultural, and bitcoin users/miners/exchanges don't look up to the "dev team" as an authority. That's the key difference IMO. If you just focused on the technical you'd still be arguing that betamax was a better format.

Eventually, freelancers and marketing agencies liked my website and called it their home.. and I don't do any marketing for it anymore. They do all the work for me and I have the platform they need. Never paid for advertising or marketing for it. It's been an amazing 10 years... at least a dozen projects spawned from it. I have spoken to so many people from all over the world who have an article on there. Approaching 5,000 articles and counting. I'll probably keep it going until my last breath.

My website became my passion for what I was studying in college... didn't get a chance to pursue my psychology degree beyond a bachelors in science because I got into programming and web design and never left... so this kept me at least pursuing the interest of it.

Well no, if we still had the same gross economic output as 1000 years ago quality of living would be much lower.

The point of competition is that it drives up total economic output.

Of course it sucks for the people who get outcompeted. Certainly getting them productive again in another capacity is good for society. Letting them simply idle is not.

That’s great if your only dependency is libc. It gets progressively harder the more dependencies you need, and it becomes downright untenable the moment you run into some dependency with a dlopen-based plugin architecture.
it goes much deeper than that, despite the parasocial relationships that crypto purchasers have with the founding teams, they are purchasing products. the product sales are booked as revenue, not capital-in like a primary market investment/security would have.

a product can simultaneously be a security, and many organizations in the collectibles market go out of their way to avoid that, organizations that sell physical goods with perceived scarcity and a vibrant aftermarket. within the crypto space, creators of digital assets go out of their way to avoid it too, and in this regard, I've never been surprised at any specific SEC enforcement action against any crypto team. The ones that behave one way, so far have not been sanctioned, the ones that behave another way have been. Its not arbitrary, but it does still leave uncertainty.

but where we are now, where the SEC pretends like "every digital asset is a security and we just haven't gotten to it yet", what we're left with are the behavior of the purchasers of digital assets. they buy tokens with the expectation of profit and rely on the issuing team to realize that. theoretically that logic could make anything a security, are sneakerheads trading nike-themed securities just because they're getting into it to make a profit?

at this point, I would be inclined to agree only if nike has to register their artificial scarcity shoe lines as securities and can only sell them to accredited investors. otherwise, the logic fails and a different capital markets structure needs to be considered.
The non-Mini version was such a hassle to maintain¹ that I stopped using it². This looked like a great middle ground, until the subscription part.

Can anyone explain the connection between Justin Sun, his companies, and the BitTorrent protocol? Wikipedia is a little light on details.

It sounds like BitTorrent Inc was renamed to Rainberry and was then sold to Justin Sun/TRON, and then at some point that company released a BitTorrent Token (BTT). Does BTT have any technical relationship with the actual BitTorrent protocol?
I'm concerned about schooled kids not socializing outside of their direct age group :) There's been plenty written about how unhealthy and damaging it can be to only be in a peer group of people your own age.

Honestly, the socialization is a myth. Homeschoolers socialize with all ages, that's healthy and educational from a huge amount of perspectives. e.g: kids can be become leaders by supporting younger or less able kids.

You're not wrong, but the point remains - Are you going to limit their CPUs? Are you going to limit their RAM? Network Performance?

The collections of Cgroups and Namespaces (and for all that they are different APIs, you almost never use one without the other, so perhaps it's bet to refer to the whole group of them as "Containers" or "Containment" to differentiate it from Docker-style containers) is complex and flexible for a reason, even if an absurd proportion of the common cases can be solved with a reasonable set of defaults of them.
In short, the job hunt is going to become even more unbearable. I don't trust companies with the kind of leverage they're going to have with AI at their fingertips.

You've moved the goal posts from "stealing" funds to highlighting that a business has revenue and costs during a quarter.

> ...a loss of $557M on revenue of $605M.

> It’s like selling $5 pancakes that each cost you $10 to make.

$605m - $557m = $48m (7.9% gain)

$5 - $10 = -$5 (100% loss)

Yup... Exactly the same. More false and irrelevant info. At least you're consistent! Keep the FUD flowing!

The college thing is a much bigger divide than politics for my friend group. My wife is about as blue-tribe as you can get. My best-man is pretty darn red tribe (and not Mitt Romney red-tribe, but "likely to vote for Trump in the next Republican primary" red-tribe).

They both have college degrees though. I have a few friends who dropped out of college, but none that never attended.
Predominantly, from my understanding, it’s because:

1. Bitcoin was classified as “currency” by Clayton.

2. It’s the closest to being decentralized so no “organization will benefit from the work of others”.

3. Growth of Bitcoin wasn’t initially speculative but as a use of currency, which is different from whatever token you fork as its goal would be for speculative trading, failing the Howey test.
Haha, the sweet spot only lasts so long.
I've been thinking about unions. I think unions would naturally form over rto and other issues in big tech but the average length of employment is short and they dangle options to keep you waiting for 4 years that the only people left fear their own role and won't cause waves because they have discovered ways to stick around and want to keep that advantage to themselves.
I haven't found it very useful. It's been useful for writing tests, but in most other stuff it's like an annoying person who's always finishing your sentences for you... wrong. It'll autocomplete stuff like file paths and just make up garbage, which messes up my intellisense autocomplete which would actually get it right.

I'm on the trial and I'll probably cancel it before I have to pay. If it was easier to turn it on and off or only use at specific moments, I might keep it, but as it is, it hasn't been great for me. I have 25 years of experience. Maybe if I was younger, I'd like it, but at this point, I'm usually not typing something unless I know what I want to type, so it's just a distraction.
Sure, but once you sign you're agreeing to whatever terms are in force at the time of signing. I would guess that Adobe granted itself universal rights to do whatever they think will bring the customers in, but I haven't looked at one of their contracts.
I think it's because prior to that, their imagined future had only the super rich and the super poor, and the super poor had no agency whatsoever. Cyberpunk showed a path via which an average person could at least eke out _some_ sort of life in the dystopian hellscape.
Hyperformula Guide: how a headless Excel expression evaluator works
Funnily enough I was looking at an issue in my one of personal projects last night about asking me to statically link libstdc++ - it's something I was interested in doing because I spent way too long spinning my wheels on an issue caused by loading an outdated libstdc++.so.6, but I read that statically linking can cause issues if your code loads another library that dynamically links libstdc++... which I'm pretty sure my project does (it's a pass-through between an executable and another library).
So I want to, but it sounds like if I do it might work but be fragile at best.

Yes; I can see that it's not something that's shared here on HN, or at least a controversial opinion to have - however I see it as a great toxic instrument of evil.

Examples are so plentiful, take for instance all these cyber-bullying pieces where men might be called out at gyms for having eyes and actually just taking in their surroundings - and females of peak physique in near naked appearance would be nearly impossible to ignore. In slow motion, everyone's a creep who needs their face shamed right? That's just one example. There's a dungeon of extremely negative content that especially kids should not be subject to.

So the cynic in me can't help but see this sowing of discontent as something that could read from the Art of War. And that's before considering the security implications that the app has.

Is there cases of f->m transgender using their superior size to rape people? I genuinely don't know.

But I don't think f->m are the problem. They still have a feminine body and it's still a fair fight in body size comparison.

It's the same as the sports argument. The bigger problem is the larger, masculine bodies now dominating women's sports.

I don't think many worry about the smaller bodies in sports where everyone is the same size or bigger than them.
> Well, it is something of a he said/she said between Coinbase and the SEC.

Not really. The law has been exactly the same since the 1940s. Apparently though Coinbase has decided to go all in on SBF's strategy of pretending to be too dumb to understand the law.

Coinbase arguing that they should be allowed to sell illegal unregistered securities because the SEC said they could sell securities is like CVS arguing that should be allowed to sell cocaine because the government told them they could be a drug store.

Rider does full stack (eg MAUI, Blazor, WPF, Xamarin etc for frontends and can publish to various cloud services) and has hot reload. What Microsoft products and SDKs does Rider not support?

As far as I can tell GPU debugging is C++ only, where I thought we were discussing C#, same with the C++ hot reload. However CLion does both.
Logically, that's wrong, though. It's something that's likely to improve in the future.

But in general, society doesn't understand that AI can't create data where it doesn't exist. They think AI is some magic box that can infer what perfume a person is wearing based on grainy surveillance footage. It's a bit worrying that even the technically adept can make this mistake.

> What about Blade Runner, Neuromancer

Neon aesthetics were appropriate in these because of technological context in which these were created. Neon signage was not yet an anachronism in the 80s. I don't blame sci-fi writers of the past for failing to predict future technology, but at the same time I find it hard to take deliberately anachronistic sci-fi seriously.

It's analogous to the difference between genuine Victorian science fiction (e.g. Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, etc) and modern steampunk media set in the Victorian era. Modern steampunk emulates the style and feel of Victorian science fiction, but I think that makes it a different genre. Victorian science fiction wasn't written to be anachronistic but steampunk is, so they're different genres.
