How to pivot your company into an AI company
Why can’t they reduce voltage to each pixel to reduce brightness? I don’t see this as a fundamental limitation of the display technology, PWM is just easy and cheap to implement.
You wouldn't see them there. The vast majority of $100-500m ideas explored by Google are never actually turned into Beta products. They get killed during prototype testing and early alpha, because teams can get that far without meaningful VP sponsorship. But to get the investment required to scale from what a team can do with a UXer, a couple of volunteer SWEs, and a part-time PM ... you need exec support. When I was there, back in 2015-2016 we proposed several product concepts to Prabhakar that we'd already run detailed TAM analysis on, created business cases for, and tested in local markets. All of them estimated at $100-300m ARR. All of them rejected for being too small.

The plus side of allowing experimentation like this at Google, though, is that the work doesn't just go poof even after a rejection. From that core team of 5, two of them are now successful PMs, with one of them having "re-pitched" our concept of appointment booking to the Geo team as a feature addition for Google My Business. It was adopted, as was he, and that's how & why you can book appointments within Maps' business panes now. Another of them took one of our ideas into A120 and ended up mildly pivoting on the advice of the Travel VP. After some additional work, the project was adopted by Travel and is now why you get rich tour creation and destination exploration features inside of travel.google.com. A third member of our team - the UXer - maintained our team site with all the high-res mocks, business cases and pitch decks, and another one of those ideas was ultimate adopted as part of the Workspace team's investment in creating the "Gmail Hub" features that are why you have an expandable right pane with lots of app integration.

The point is not that my team was a bunch of anomalous superstars (we were not - just high achieving normal googlers), but that these kinds of things happen constantly within Google. For every idea you see on a Killed By Google list, there are probably 100 things that were killed as product concepts before release but ended up baked into one of the "15 products with >500m DAUs" Sundar referenced at I/O a couple weeks ago.
Big tech is salivating over the vendor lock this will enable, so there will be a big push for it. I’m just hoping password managers will allow us to store the key material in them so that cross-platform can work.

Fellow Slug here.

They had grades by the time I went there and I used them for grad school applications.

But, they still have the narrative evals (Please be right!).

My evals were critical for my grad school applications. All the PIs that I talked with said that they reviewed mine, mostly because it was so unique to have a 50+ page transcript. Their reviewing of my evals was what got me into a few places.

Personally, I treasure those evals. Some were pretty bland and report-y, but enough are good descriptions of myself at a young age from otherwise unbiased observers. Those deeper and longer evals are fantastic and really helped me grow as a young person. Taking them seriously and chewing through them allowed me to choose the right major and the right path, for me, at the time.

Likely, they're gone by now, subsumed into the grind of academia. But I hope they aren't. They were really special and really helpful.
Nice way of completely invalidating all your arguments in this thread. I hope this will be a lesson for you next time you go on a toxic and obnoxious rampage.

Anyway, time to go back to the most beautiful game I've ever played. A game that looks fantastic.
Appreciate your feedback @rfittich.

We started building this product with some non open source tools such as Firebase to get off the ground and be able to launch so quickly.

Now that we have the core functionality built, we are working on removing all non-open source services from our product to then release a version than can be run without external services. This version is launching in a few weeks.

Open-source is important to us, so that our code be audited by everyone and evolve around community feedback.
Of course it matters… It’s completely absurd to think it doesn’t matter …or are you being flippant again. I don’t have time to burn so say what you mean. If you really don’t understand, I can explain the obvious advantages to not placing a factory in a potential war zone.

Then there’s the other danger…

What counts as a purely mechanical adjustment? Can you apply any trivial and reversible operation to the notation? I guess changing the time signature to an equivalent one is acceptable. Changing all the notes to half their length? Replacing dotted notes by ligatures? Switching the key would be probably a "creative" change, but it's just as mechanical as the others. What if I move the key up a semitone but then I add a text that says to tune the instrument a semitone down? Does said text really matter, considering the historical tuning has changed by almost a whole semitone along the centuries?

I feel very uneasy changing the notation of the original, even if the music sounds the same, and naming it "urtext".

No big deal... after all, you can buy "urtext" with editor-provided fingerings from many publishers, so the word is almost meaningless at this point.
Quoting Rich Sutton, who wrote the perfect response some years ago:

"The biggest lesson that can be read from 70 years of AI research is that general methods that leverage computation are ultimately the most effective, and by a large margin. The ultimate reason for this is Moore's law, or rather its generalization of continued exponentially falling cost per unit of computation. Most AI research has been conducted as if the computation available to the agent were constant (in which case leveraging human knowledge would be one of the only ways to improve performance) but, over a slightly longer time than a typical research project, massively more computation inevitably becomes available. Seeking an improvement that makes a difference in the shorter term, researchers seek to leverage their human knowledge of the domain, but the only thing that matters in the long run is the leveraging of computation. These two need not run counter to each other, but in practice they tend to. Time spent on one is time not spent on the other. There are psychological commitments to investment in one approach or the other. And the human-knowledge approach tends to complicate methods in ways that make them less suited to taking advantage of general methods leveraging computation."[a]

The very smart folks at the Alan Turing Institute are learning firsthand how bitter the lesson can be.

> I think the reason, plain and simple, is that most developers aren't really in it for the passion anymore, but rather the money.

Anecdata:

I had a job recently that paid competitively, but the boss soon replaced interesting work with boring work (for me: writing boilerplate that's already been solved a thousand times over, or any FE work), so my passion petered out, which was quite obvious to everyone involved, so the relationship ended.

However, I'm with a client now, and we're building something really cool (using LLMs; I get access to H100 soon; etc) and I'm working every spare minute I can get away with, without being paid for overtime.

I feel like a "hacker" again with this role, learning new things, stretching the capabilities of the system given various constraints, and every second link I open in my browser is arxiv.

(That said, I grew up in South Africa, where cyber laws lagged behind the world's for a good few years, so we knew every trick in the book, yet were untouchable, haha!)

Nice writup, thanks for sharing.
I'm finding that as I play this game, the frame drops from 30 to ~15 really do suck. It's not just the abilities that do it - it'll happen in the overworld and when walking around villages. In most parts of the game just spinning the camera is enough to tank it and it just feels bad. Though maybe performance varies between earlier and newer switch models.

Dropping from an average of 60 to 30 doesn't feel anywhere near as bad as that, which is one of the key benefits of a higher framerate. If you check out TOTK with a 60fps mod on an emulator, it really is a much, much nicer experience (emulator caveats notwithstanding).

Nintendo often does focus on framerate in several of their other major games. And they have done so as a selling feature for rereleases of past games (including Zelda titles) that were previously locked at 30. In this case I think they just really can't accomplish their design goals with TOTK on the Switch hardware without sacrificing the frame rate. But I bet it would be a major feature of any "next gen" patch for the game if they were to release, say, a Switch 2 any time soon.
Dude, someone said it looks fantastic, a purely subjective observation. And then you disagreed. It seems disingenuous for you to start disputing someone's logic.

> better off under China with this equipment working then under China without this equipment working.

This. If an enemy is invading your country and looks likely to succeed, then the important thing for you as a citizen isn't defending your homeland - it is making sure you have a future in the new country under new governance. That might well involve being the guy with all the knowledge to get the chip fab going again.

The US hasn't lost many wars in their homeland, so most citizens haven't really thought of their options...
Ireland was one of the poorest countries in Europe 30 years ago. Explicit government policy encouraging foreign investment has made it one of the wealthiest.

I don't think Ireland needs to apologise for this; it's a small island nation that choked under colonialism for centuries. When people from former empires, with huge populations and access to continent-spanning infrastructure complain that Ireland is "taking advantage" of them, it strikes me as sour grapes at best.
I believe that 9,000 years ago there wasn’t as distinct a pole star due to axial procession. Celestial north would probably have been somewhere between Vega and Tau Hercluis with a fairly wide separation.
> It's incredible to me how little insight our conscious selves have into what's going on in our subconscious.

This is true, but it's also a feature, and not a bug. Conscious processing is extremely slow and resource intensive. Our subsconscious processing has millions of years of evolution behind it to generate good enough solutions to many problems much faster and burning fewer calories than doing the mental processing consciously and deliberately.

It's like running an emulator versus running code natively on the CPU. The latter will always beat the former.

I don't think Nintendo knows how to make StarFox. They haven't been able to actually make a successful improvement to the formula since it was first released. StarFox 2 actually could have been that successful iteration, but they canned it for StarFox64, which is a remake of Starfox. Starfox Adventure pissed off everyone because it shouldn't have been a starfox game, Starfox assault did not do well for a multitude of reasons, Starfox command was fun, but shat all over any semblance of a story the universe had and didn't scratch the itch people were desperate for, Starfox zero was a half assed expansion to a tech demo that had a terrible gimmick the producer was married to but nobody wanted and made no sense (I can't focus on both screens at once), and they've basically called the time of death at this point.

Indeed, I'm being sarcastic. This is pervasive both for individuals and the organizations they build. Google went from "do no evil" and text-only "good" ads to buying DoubleClick and doing the full spectrum sleazy things for profit.

As a company, your business model defines your morality, not the other way around. Google's fate was sealed the moment they ran their very first sponsored link. And as an individual, your interests define your morality.

What's curious is that in the public consciousness we still speak about it as if morals and principles are this completely independent thing some have, which is impervious to circumstances and opportunities for personal gain. Or maybe those are just the silly tales we tell the mark before we scam them.
It never fails to amaze me how quickly the hate train starts or how fast it gets going when it comes time to blame technical artists for the shortcoming of others, even though they are arguably the best in the industry at reliably accomplishing amazing deeply technical feats that deliver joy.

The $5/dozen t-shirt has little possibility of collecting private data and sending it to the mother ship
A literal cartel or corporations expected to prey on the individual humans betting on the gaps in our psychology. A different corporation has bridged these gaps simply by saying out loud what individual humans actually want, working as a simple re-transmitter of human thoughts. And cartel said that "oh, since we can't win easily now, then you are at fault now" (and not the cartel who blackmailed the world in the first place).

Same happened with Ruzzia. They wanted an easy win (to re-capture everything up to west Berlin again), and because of their blaickmail were quickly denied most of those easy wins, when their prey has hidden under NATO protection. They finally tried to capture whatever remained and when encountering resistance they blamed NATO.

Basically every powerful sociopath, be is Ruzzia or ad-tech corpo, want to have absolute freedom of taking what they want. And any attempt to deny them something is considered a fault of the defending party.
