They accurately describe a particular type of person/role that exists at many large enterprises. These "architects" notionally have a lot of authority, appointed by other not very technical people, but are so divorced from the realities of the engineering execution that anything they tell you is mostly useless. In my experience it tends to be a refuge for people that aren't very strong technically but who enjoy making slide decks for management.
Yes, they can. And there's a big difference between kids learning from their family and community and helping out and Dickensian factories full of children. Nothing about homeschooling implies child labor.
I'm not up to speed but we didn't choose Nutanix many years ago because their Terraform maturity was way behind vmware.

Vmware sponsored? the plugin where Nutanix made everything go through their web UI or some new convergence product they purchased.

We just wanted APIs for everything, no UI. Nutanix failed hard.
Building an organic dataset with decent results is the expensive and hard part. Weather, wiki etc are the kind of things you can develop on a $20/m dedicated server.
What is the moat for AI? Right now, it's enormously expensive to produce an LLM but doesn't AI produce results which, in the long run, will make it easier and easier for any company to produce the same?
That's a new information to me.
Thank you for the feedback.
What makes you think that Google would agree to such a deal?
Mmm I don't think I agree with this person's analysis, despite him being a ex-googler.

Don't get me wrong - i'm also not a big fan of company's hamfisting "ai" into every product that they have. But in Google's case it might be a do-or-die situation.

Basically, AI tech's current value proposition is simple - information retrieval.

What does Google happen to do? Information retrieval.

---

Google absolutely should be scared if they aren't already.

The phrase "Just ask ChatGPT" has already entered the common parlance, in much the same way "Just Google It" did in the 2000s. Zoom killed Skype in much the same way.

In 10 years, gen-alphas could be using ChatGPT exclusively for performing their information gathering.
In 20 years, Google's search revenue (55% of their revenue) might be hit sufficiently that they have to pivot something else.
In 30 years, more time than it took Yahoo to become completely irrelevant as a company (founded 30 years ago!), Google may be just as irrelevant then.

Google is already giving up the meta-physical space to Facebook and Apple. They've already given up the services space to Apple. They hardly even build their own hardware anymore, so all that's all going to Apple and Samsung. If the balance of power shifts, Google might just lose Android to Samsung completely.

Now they might just lose the information-retrieval space too, which is their core identity.

What do they have left after? YouTube, Business, and Infra, and Play Store. None of which actually makes them much money at all.

They absolutely need to put their AI thing in as many things as possible, and try to leapfrog the competition. But at this point I think they may have already lost in the current consumer headspace.

My casual 2cents
Scott Jenson is the ex-Googler in the article.

He posted this on LinkedIn: “ I just left Google last month. The "AI Projects" I was working on were poorly motivated and driven by this panic that as long as it had "AI" in it, it would be great. This myopia is NOT something driven by a user need. It is a stone cold panic that they are getting left behind.

The vision is that there will be a Tony Stark like Jarvis assistant in your phone that locks you into their ecosystem so hard that you'll never leave. That vision is pure catnip. The fear is that they can't afford to let someone else get there first.

This exact thing happened 13 years ago with Google+ (I was there for that fiasco as well). That was a similar reaction but to Facebook.

BTW, Apple is no different. They too are trying to create this AI lock-in with Siri. When the emperor, eventually, has no clothes, they'll be lapped by someone thinking bigger.

I'm not a luddite, there is some value to this new technology. It's just not well motivated.

Edit: Well, this has blown up. To be very clear, I wasn't a senior leader at Google, my projects were fairly limited. My comment comes more from a general frustration of the entire industry and it's approach to AI”

Wow. 30mg of Paroxetine sounds a lot.

I use it for panic attack reasons since 2019, started with 20mg, nowadays I'm using 5mg.

When I was using 10mg alone I felt lazy as hell, can't imagine tooking 30!
The distinction between federation and decentralization is missed in basically any article or discussion I have seen related to mastodon, cryptocurrencies, nostr, etc.

Decentralization ends up getting boiled down to a binary, a network is either decentralized or centralized. There's way more nuance than that, but nuance makes for boring and drawn out discussions/articles.
I don't really care either way, but one thing that seems odd to me is how unlikable people seem to find the other voices (myself included)

Completely false. Even the journalists at the launch of "Sky" last year were singling it out of the batch of voices, and specifically asking OA about how it sounded like Johansson: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/09/25/chatgpt...
Really? I had almost exactly the opposite experience with a 16GB RX 6800 AMD card, which I would hope would be up to the task. It was painfully slow, taking several minutes to do anything, and crashed multiple times. As much as the idea interests me, I gave up on it fairly quickly.

your [0] is just silly. If a person is at risk from their state's law enforcement, handing over their search data to yandex just makes it easier for Russia to convert them into spying/sabotage activities through, e.g., extortion.

As you have noted, Russia is at war with the ~English-speaking world~ West, so it is much more likely to use this data against the users than in the past.
They didn't miss on social media from a social perspective -- Google+ was a great user experience. But it did make it harder to harvest people's attention for ad revenue.
I mean, the other fun thing is that the vi keybindings are also a product of the really terribly anemic keyboard that the ADM-3A terminal it was developed for had, and was also a product of the conventions developed by line editors like 'ed'.

And so there's nothing virtuously ergonomic about the vim keybindings and people who try to make it seem like there's some UX genius there (and to be fair, also with emacs) are often involved in a rather elitist game of retcon.

Emacs at least evolved on systems that had much richer keyboards, and with the deliberate intent to make use of those extra keys but also make it possible for people to just muck with it and make it whatever they wanted.

In the late 80s, early 90s when I got my start on Unix... I specifically chose emacs over vi because it let me use exotic novelties like... arrow keys.
You're right. Three things:

1. He isn't working on this exclusively. In the update notes, he mentions that he's making the game in parallel to a job. He recently finished his degree and sometimes takes time off for his next project. In 2021 he said, 'As I’ve mentioned before, game development is not a full time job for me, it’s just a hobby that consumes a lot of my nights and weekends.' Obviously this must be considered when evaluating the revenue.

2. After he finishes the game, it will still have a long tail of sales over the following years. He can develop another game, whose long tail will overlap with the first one, then with a third game, etc. But I don't know how to estimate these long tails after the first couple of years.

3. It seems to be his first game on Steam.

This is actually a very interesting case. I think he does most things right (though he doesn't seem to do enough marketing on Twitter). I assume that he'll arrive at a place where he has the option to go full-time sooner or later.
To be fair, I am not in AI research either. Sorry if I implied that. I am on the applied side building products using GenAI, we also do some more traditional ML development but I do not spend much time there.

100% what you said about being young with nothing to lose. I had been part of a "start up" so I had equity on paper, but debt in real life. That equity ended up being worth exactly what I had paid for it ($0). I worked at Home Depot (which was a great company) and basically anything was better than making $15/hr and treading water.

For what it is worth, at the time I (24) felt really old because I saw so many 21 year olds who would come in to the store and had houses and everything that I didn't. I felt like I had missed the boat. It's been over 10 years and I realize how young I was, and frankly still am.

My point is that it's never too late to try something different, especially if you are starting from a position of strength (a good career in a field that requires strong problem solving skills, like software engineering).
If I could visually persist 3 lines of a terminal in my vision, and then otherwise use the functionality of a cell phone with ear buds with microphones, I think I could do 60% of my job while walking around in the forest behind my house. Most of the time I wouldn't need the terminal.

Do my cohorts, who have drifted into positions of tech lead, and then onwards as technical mentors to younger dev teams, find the same? I know I betray my communication style by admitting I don't need to see the screen; I prefer to see their world through a mental model built by words and sensing body language through tones and pauses. I'm not even sure I'm in the right line of work most days, at this point.

This probably relates to the Bing Search API. A lot of these alternative search engines are using Bing for the organic results.

There are lots of details missing. VMware had a crazy amount of product and support SKUs. It is possible that they were vastly underpaying relative to what they should have been licensed for. Also, 24k VMs is a lot but core count is what matters. They could have been running that compute with insane overprovisioning, and Broadcom generally wants customers with REALLY HIGH core counts. Finally, the new SKUs that Broadcom are pushing consolidate lots of products together that would have previously been purchased separately. If they were _only_ vSphere customers, the hike might have come from now needing to be NSX and vSAN customers against their will.

All that said, lots of customers definitely had similar experiences; it's all over /r/vmware. Broadcom is not joking about wanting to cull the herd here.
Yep this is a nice feature and I use it…
It doesn't really matter their legal risk here, IMO. What matters is the court of public opinion in this case.

Even if they are able to show irrefutable proof that it wasn't ScarJo and is in fact another person entirely it will not matter.

This is one of those times that no matter what the facts show people will be dug in one way or another.
Apple has sterile attempts to pretend they're not sterile.

And that's fine. That's all it has to be. Something aesthetically appealing and universally brandsafe. But it's not not-soulless.

Have you ever read a F500 companies press release about a (re)branding or new logo or something? Where they retell the story the branding consultants told the executive suite about what the new image means and the vibe it embodies? But the end result is just bland nothingness that doesn't standout from the pack at all?

That's the energy in every Apple attempt to show personality. Hypercalculated and ultimately meaningless.

Meh, this assumes that there are no other ways for innovators to build businesses than running google x. In fact, most innovations do not come from here. OTOH, a lot of innovators fail to make businesses, so, I think you can't draw much conclusion from a single sentence in an article.

As to what is wrong with SV - it's really what's wrong with the market in general. After years of no interest rates and dumb ideas like Juicero, reality is setting in as the cost of capital is not zero, and so equity holders have plenty of alternative returns that are acceptable and don't require moonshots.

As far as my understanding of current science goes, you can't "develop" ADHD as an adult, it is something you are born with or perhaps develops at a young age. Perhaps if you had some kind of traumatic brain injury, which may be what you're alluding to.

Either way, first step is go speak to a Psychiatrist about it. You might need to get a referral from your primary care physician. They will help you figure out what treatment options are available to you.

I question how useful "jarvis" would be for most people (including me).

I was in the fortunate position to have a supremely talented admin/chief of staff a couple years ago when I was in charge of a 100+ people org. They were amazing. Spoke 5 languages, took detailed notes for me, created decks and ran status update meetings on my behalf, scheduled my time based on my priorities. Ultimately, it was nice to have, because when they left, I never ended up replacing them.

The only thing I really missed was scheduling meetings. But now a calendly link works just as well.

"If you want to go into mathematics, doing the mathematics itself has to be the thing that’s the reward"
True. In other words mathematics is the biggest 'Nerd Sniping' source ever existed on Earth. Math was my hobby when I was younger, and every minute of learning and thinking about theoretical math had a huge opportunity cost of not learning something more useful. Fortunately math is no longer a hobby of mine, so my knowledge is becoming more rounded/practical nowadays. I have became an expert of detecting any nerd-sniping, which at a younger age I was prone to. Surely I still teach math to my children when they need help, but otherwise I use math only when needed, not l'art pour l'art.
Coincidentally I comment much less on public forums too. (Another non-useful activity.)
Broadcom absolutely does not care about this.
The point is to figure out how to associate with arbitrary people without cultivating a "fervent hate" toward them.

> The idea that private owners of land/capital are somehow immune to the corruption that makes government so scary is complete nonsense.

Neither private nor public owners are immune to corruption, but private owners don't operate with the legal monopoly on violence that the government does, so the consequences are a lot worse in the latter case.

I believe what Vienna gets right that complements subsidized public housing is that it doesn't have US-style dysfunctional zoning and regulatory processes ("environmental" review, etc.) for construction, so the free market is actually able to produce enough supply to meet demand.

In addition, there aren't bizarre "tenant-friendly" laws such as those that prevent eviction even in the case of nonpayment of rent; it is my understanding that this applies to public housing, as well. And I would bet that the public housing of Vienna is not subject to the same level of social degradation as those in the US, making them altogether more pleasant places to live in.
