The Google stock is at record value. Google revenue is at record value. Google profit is at record value.

You seem to be operating on a concept of "good ideas" that are disconnected from what the owners of Google (= stockholders) want.

Google is still performing exceedingly well for what their owners want. Always follow the money.

> Many in the tech community have high expectations for Google engineering quality and product development

Wait? Whom has these expectations? I presumed most in the tech industry scoff at anything Google launches, point at Google Graveyard or at all the failures they've been through.

Seriously: aside from search, ads and android, what product has Google developed ever that is of high quality and meeting the high quality? Maybe maps at some point? Gmail, maybe? Google docs? For each and every google product, I can name two competitors that meet much higher expectations of engineering.
The Snapdragon 3xc Gen 3 one needed a downstream kernel and community effort:

(initially there was some bring-up trickery that led to Linux not booting past Grub, but OpenBSD working fine: https://blog.alexellis.io/linux-on-microsoft-dev-kit-2023/ )

Re: Microsoft, Secure Boot should be disable-able and the devices are ServerReady. As close to an open platform as it gets in ARM land. Other than that, we're on our own, unless Qualcomm will help with their mainlining efforts. That'll be almost enough for the DevKit, but the upcoming Snapdragon X laptops have lots of additional stuff besides the SoC itself.
Glad to know I'm not the only one experiencing this
The hierarchy is too strong. Subordinate Googlers cannot really challenge anyone in their leadership chain.
That leaves Siblings to challenge each other, which doesn't really happen either. (VPs either can't check other VPs, or don't give a f** about doing so)
Copilot still tells me I've commit a content policy violation of I ask it to generate an image "in Tim Burton's style". Tim Burton has been openly critical of generative AI.
The article says "C64 games did a lot of work to stay single-load since the C64 drive is so slow" - what are you surprised by, since you seem to be in agreement?
I’ve actually looked into that, and I could not find a single place in the United States (that’s even remotely acceptable to spend time in) where a month stay in an Airbnb would cost less than my rent, which is currently $2300.

I think it is called a deflationary spiral.

When your money becomes more valuable if you don't spend it, people spend less, which depressed prices further, so people spend even less, which even further depresses prices.

It could have been flagged by some. The title is quite harsh.
This is a data goldmine for data brokers who have most certainly replicated the data set, but without any of the privacy measures that the researchers implemented.

On another note, I had missed that Apple recognizes the '_nomap' suffix and stops indexing/reporting its WiFI AP locations.
I think you and I are just going to have to agree to disagree about the meaning of the phrase "loads better".
Can't you set the BSSID? I am fairly sure hostapd exposes that knob in its config.
Just to give an idea of the timeline for this. Just about every government regulatory action requires a comment period. After the proposed rule comment period ends, the government generally responds to those comments in aggregate which can take a few months. Let's say September, since August is when everyone in Washington takes a vacation; seriously.

Then there is often an interim rule, basically saying ok, we've heard your concerns, and here's the final rule we're putting forth. That will be followed by a comment period of up to 45 days, or longer. The Administrative Procedures Act (1) requires a minimum 45-day period for the public to comment to the agency in writing on the proposed regulation.

Now we're probably into November if everything goes perfectly.

Then the final rule is published in the federal register, followed by another 45+ days comment period, with some date set for implementation and enforcement.

Best case scenario, if I read the law correctly, this will not get finalized and promulgated until after the election, possibly not until next year.

Government very, very rarely moves with great alacrity, especially in regulations; unless a government party fears they will lose the election, or has lost and is between legislative sessions.

The administration seems to be moving as fast as they can since this was announced, and a proposed rule published very quickly - no hearings, stakeholder input, etc., and the limit on comments are the statutory minimum.

The US doesn't even assent to the validity of the ICC itself, let alone the recent charges. If the whole argument is an attempt to dispose of the question of whether the US cooperates with, recognizes, or cares about the ICC, that question is disposed of: the US does not. I think the Hague Liberation bill is silly and performative, but let the record show that we have a statute obligating us to invade the Hague if the ICC breathes on us the wrong way.

Something like half the world's population doesn't acknowledge the ICC. And the ICC hasn't covered itself in glory over the last 20 years --- the Darfur fiasco being the most obvious example.

All this just brings me back to: the ICC charges are a political act (fair enough! politics matter!) and should be evaluated on their political effectiveness. The predictable result of the charges: the leader of the only political party in the US that even ostensibly cares about Palestine disavowed the charges. How'd that help?
A long article to come out and say they tested a rebranded 7950X which acts as an easy filter for if you need to build an enterprise system with it and know they actually all work on the MB+CPU combo.
Love this thing! It enabled me to add a “Convert to GIF” for videos in my Clop app (https://lowtechguys.com/clop) in just a few lines of code. The GIF gets encoded at its optimal size by default so I didn’t have to do a second optimization step.

I also like that the author spent time to add an easy way to build a static binary, which I need in order to ship gifski inside the app.

Compressing all these static binaries so I can ship them in Clop with a <100MB download was not so easy though. I’ve been using the included xz in macOS but I’m switching to lrzip [1] for better compression size and especially speed

> The direct translation of the C expression to Lisp would actually be (-> a (-> b (-> c d)))

Not really. -> looks like binary infix operator, but it is really an unary postfix operator (parametrized by field). Because field itself is not a first-class entity in C.
The relentless drive to make as much money as possible, as quickly as possible. Publicly traded companies tearing at the soft underbelly of society for a few pennies more each quarter.
Do you all realize that accessing to correct information+truth is getting hard?
With LLM and hallucinating AI our access to unfiltered, correct information is filtered in a way that it's just getting harder and harder to learn the correct thing. This is not what tech progress should be? Is there hope that GPT 5 or next one will be able give correct information? We peaked accesing to correct information years ago. Now everything is filtered or will be made via BS AI so much that it will just so hard and time consuming to know the truth. Not trying to be pessimist this is sad reality.
I am well aware of the situation, hence me searching her name.

But that doesn’t explain the nonsense word salad. I would actually be very skeptical to assume that these were taken verbatim from searchers.

You would have needed A LOT of people to have searched that exact phrase for it to be added to PAA.

Google does a good job with People Also Ask, and I have never seen this before. It might be nothing, but I am leaning towards one of their NLP systems leaking.
Wat? That seems out of character. Class related?
There's a surefire way to prevent this kind of thing forever: Stop broadcasting your data on the air for anyone to hear, and others will stop being able to listen to it.

Definitely understand the tradeoffs here but you could set your default text size in your OS settings to be smaller to get more volume on your screen.
Your garage project also doesn't need to support 100's of random features some product manager thought are critical but nobody uses. Quality issues are exponential to the complexity of the software. Out of those 1000's of engineers there will also lot of variability in terms of productivity and quality. Some engineers are likely doing most of the heavy lifting. Some spend all their time in meetings. Some engineers might be working on their novel or startup while sitting in the office. Extremely unlikely they're all operating at the same level. With 1000's of engineers there's a lot of effort synchronizing those engineers, communication overhead, people stepping over each other's work etc. The mythical tower of babel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Babel

Lots of reliable/production software was built by teams much smaller than 1000's. Things like operating systems (e.g. the Linux kernel), compilers, tools or libraries, come to mind. Some even by single people.

That's not to say that all weekend garage projects are better than what 1000+ developer teams produce but don't knock the ability of small teams to do amazing things. Twitter isn't exactly the pinnacle of engineering accomplishment either. I'm pretty sure Twitter suffered from bloat similar to many other large tech companies. Elon taking a sledgehammer to that is probably not the best approach though. That said some people were saying the whole thing will fall apart in days, and it didn't.

[EDITed for typo]
>Are there enough of those people still flying that it makes sense to keep that light in use?

There are entire states in the US that take that approach. Live free or die and all that.

So free.
Me too: I remember, when I was first toying with the idea of building websites as a career, being fascinated by the idea of having a web site where the background was transparent or translucent down to the desktop behind. I always figured you should be able to do something like html { background: transparent; } and have it just work.

It’s worth pointing out that this bug fix doesn’t actually do that. For a start, it’s a preference that can be toggled on by the user or an extension, rather than a default thing that websites can choose. Probably for the best: it’d certainly open up new avenues for clickjacking.
And?

The fact remains, in the US market small cars are not popular. Its not a conspiracy of US manufacturers "lagging deliberately". There of course is more margin to be made on bigger vehicles but its a mixture of both consumer demand and margin incentives.
Microsoft requires _optout, Google and Apple require _nomap.

This is ridiculous.

Maybe they are too big. Also too many egos.
There are other ways public figures are treated differently in the courts in the US. It's much more difficult for them to prove libel or slander, for instance. They have to prove actual malice and intent, whereas a private citizen just has to prove negligence. I imagine "owning" their likeness at a broader sense is the flip side of that coin.
Hi there! I'm the creator of this game, happy to answer any questions people might have. This is a total surprise, thanks so much for playing!
"Not consistently candid", the last board said.

Like many people who try to oppose psychopaths though, they don't seem to be around much anymore.
The answers aren’t deterministic. Which is part of the problem. While searching for these now may give you the right answers, I have personally encountered this level of bad responses enough times that none of these are surprising.

There’s no need to doctor screenshots to get these responses, at least twice now Google has shown bad answers in their own marketing materials.
> Sounds good in theory but how many people are actually qualified to interpret those algorithms?

Enough researchers, at enough institutions with sufficiently diverse motives, that if multiple of them identify a problem and agree about it, Joe can make a reasonably confident assessment that there's probably something there.
Google is really bad now. I’ve been using Kagi for the past year and got redirected to Google once a few months ago. I was shocked anyone still used it. It was so unpleasant I recoiled when the page loaded and had to look around to see where I was and why everything was so awful.
That bug is older than half the audience here...

Incredible visualization. Insane given they didn't have computer screens at the time.

I went to state schools in Ohio for college and medical school. There was no grade inflation that I ever witnessed. When I did my internship/residency/fellowship at Duke I was shocked at the grades given to the worst medical students that were on rotations with me by the attending physicians. I asked one attending I knew well why they gave such inflated grades for such poor students. They said the medical students paid a lot to go to Duke Medical School and they expected all A's so that they could get into a good residency.
For this kind of stuff there is usually much more in the language of origin. I’d suspect the French article have more details on this since it was the French navy.

> What constitutes "publishing" under the CDA is somewhat narrowly defined by the courts. The Ninth Circuit held that "Publication involves reviewing, editing, and deciding whether to publish or to withdraw from publication third-party content."

Under current interpretation, this law thereby does not apply to at least Tor. It could maybe apply to Bitcoin, but I would think it does not apply to Zcash. I do not know how to analyze the Torrent DHT, but I am very confident that it could be fixed so this isn't an issue (and everyone would benefit from that being fixed even today).
It doesn't matter. Most people are using Copilot because it's vetted,
"protects your data", and is paid for with office 365 (or whatever it is called now).

Google should have run at the enterprise when it had the chance fifteen years ago.
If I have to horizontally scroll forth and back line by line to read the whole text I'm a lot slower.
Hopefully it's an easy to use CAD, because my preferred CAD right now on Linux is FreeCAD is way too complex and the user input in the UI horrendously clunky.

The good side is that all CADs have a very steep learning curve, with most tutorials made by people who are oblivious to the ignorant masses. The landscape is so complex today, that it's easier to use a vector drawing tool and transform it into a 3D model than to use any CAD to make a cylinder.

Even today it is hard to beat Bugzilla. In fact, some of the choices available today are so much worse than Bugzilla that I cannot even fathom how they exist. As an example, Dwarf Fortress uses Mantis BT, which is just awful.

On the other hand, FogBugz is one that I have always wanted to try if I ever got the chance.
Yeah.. I believe this is to run R embedded in Tibco Spotfire (like Tableau or other BI software). We used to use this to pull and sanitize our data from our data warehouse into dataframes and then create our spotfire templates to run via webplayer.
And “magic pipes”!
That is very much the intent of the game! Frog vs toad is what's known as "folk taxonomy", taxonomy based on people's informal observations and characterisations, and not on the principles of scientific taxonomy. There's a lot of common everyday examples of folk taxonomy that people don't realise aren't "scientific", and are very confident about, and the progression of species in this game was intended to really poke at what people know makes a frog and a toad.

I have the 2023 model. It was basically the arm laptop board in a square case. Expect same. That was a decent box. Slow for x86 but decent enough.

I expect same for this. Biggest issue is going to be Windows and how well PRISM works and how much more of VS and that eco system is weened off emulation.
I'm not convinced a lot of it is for the better... I literally have to scroll down at least a screen and a half for the actual search results on my phone more often than not. And AI result makes that even worse.
I don't know what you mean by this. It sounded like OP was talking about scale of content. But it does not take a triple-A budget to be on multiple platforms on physical disk. It takes a relationship with a distributor (through your publisher).

I would even go as far as to say it's easier to distribute indie games to different platforms, for a lot of reasons. Mainly that you have a lot less people to pay and you're likely using an engine that can do a lot of that technical work for you instead of an in house engine.

Source: I worked in game distribution.
An aside, but the images produced from this are some of the coolest AI art ive seen, stylistically. Would love to have some of this displayed on my wall if it werent machine-generated.
Kenneth Branagh's film version of "Henry V" is excellent. Highly recommended.
Just having the scientific method doesn't mean we know what's true. We just know what's easy to observe. The vast majority of what there is to know about human health hardly have a clue (e.g. psychology).

By the same token we also don't really know what the long-term effects of having plastic in your testicles are over your lifespan, because we don't have an easy way to get this data on a million people and look for correlations. Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence.
Thought this was interesting and sad at the same time.
(I'm the in-house AI engineer at Braindump, but I come from a gamedev background.)

Yes, we agree that doesn't scale. Braindump's designed to let you change those assumptions at any time; the AI works over the state of the entire game (for the most part), so it can change past assumptions to better meet the user's current requirements.
Alright, but the founders here were already liquidly rich from their IPO? At lease one of the execs (Roberta) was super opposed.

They didn't do it for the personal money, they did it because they thought their shareholders would sue them, at least in part, for turning out a deal that was too good to be true.
Yes. From this article:

> But in late March 2024, Apple quietly tweaked its privacy policy, allowing people to opt out of having the location of their wireless access points collected and shared by Apple — by appending “_nomap” to the end of the Wi-Fi access point’s name (SSID).

Kids today believe everything that happened before they were born doesn't exist.
The UK is simply a significantly more zero sum economy than the US due to a combination of mindset and physical reality.

Examples of mindset:

- disincentivising rentals, home building, small business, general animosity between classes

Examples of physical reality:

- small land mass without much space left to grow, lack of natural resources.

The US outside of a few places doesn't operate in that way.

They’re so dangerous that they’ve never been charged with crimes.

We only pretend to be a nation of laws. Really, there is a secret class to whom the law simply does not apply.

They get to indefinitely imprison or assassinate anyone they wish, completely arbitrarily, or hack Congressional computers to cover up their own Congressional perjury, get caught at all of it, and get away with all of it, no questions asked. They get to look at anyone’s iMessages and iCloud and Gmail in realtime without a warrant. They get cmd-f over every file in Google Docs and S3 via things like FAA702 and NSLs.

They are not elected, they are not accountable, and if you try to shine light on them, they will destroy your reputation, point and click freeze all of your assets without trial or any burden of proof, and attempt to assassinate you, or simply imprison you for decades without trial. (cf Snowden, Assange). All private wealth of any scale exists only at their pleasure. They are the gatekeepers; they are guarding all the doors, they are holding all the keys.

They are basically like group %wheel for modern western life.

I encourage anyone in doubt to read Edward Snowden's book.

The only thing I have totally and unequivocally learned in my life is to never, ever fuck with the CIA.
