I think we have quite a ways to go before that. The price is still pumped pretty high compared to what it would be without the Musk hype that got it to where it is. I bet we’d see a 30-40% drop in share price if they fired him now. They’re in a no-win situation

Right. I think people were alert to these possibilities long before the actual stuff happened with Manifest V3.

And it shouldn't take waiting until specific examples happen to understand the incentives and the possibilities that could ripen at some future date.

And just to throw in my little side hobby horse on this conversation, it's what I find personally frustrating about conversations with people who think that Brave counts as an alternative.

Being attached at the hip to the Chromium project is a ground level commitment to a long-term vulnerability, and it means that similar circumstances could "ripen" at some future date as the family of Chromium browsers become dependent on an increasingly vast foundation of code and web standards. To me, the combination of that capability and the incentive should be enough to be treated as a complete argument which disqualifies Chromium derived browsers from counting as alternatives.
Huh, why? Xbox is a great example of a business unit that should be self-sustainable.

Not that it matters.,Microsoft has done a spectacular job of killing Xbox even with its ability to sustain setting money on fire for the past decade. Xbox has been an unmitigated disaster since Xbox One.
We don't care.

This is merely anti-American propaganda, and that has not changed. As I continue to say, the anti-American will become anti-EU in short order, with all the empty hate- and fearmongering. Obviously something EU or DE related instead of US like defense. Get the laughs in while you can, because the downsides of myopia are far and wide.

Having to defend yourselves is going to be expensive. Which means either higher taxes or lower social spending. Someone has to be to blame, and keep it real, we know who. For everything. And we don't care.

Nikon's lens/body compatibility matrix is horrendously complicated. https://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/compatibility-lens.htm

Whereas I think "no metering" is never a problem on Canon.

Over the decades as a DSLR shooter (on Canon), I even saw Nikon shoot themselves in the foot not once but twice.

* When Nikon introduced "E" lenses (electronic aperture, like Canon and all modern designs), very few bodies were compatible with it. They didn't have the foresight to introduce compatible bodies before any lenses with E were released. For example, this was released in 2008 ( https://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/24mm-pc.htm ), and the earliest compatible body is from 2007. It doesn't work with tons of crop (DX) bodies like the D90, as well as any film camera.

* When Nikon introduced "AF-P" (stepper motor) lenses in 2016, there were no compatible bodies before 2013. Again, not enough future-proofing.

Meanwhile, Canon took a different approach. They pissed off users twice - when transition from the FL mount (1964) to FD (1971), and FD to EF (1987). They basically got it all right with EF - fully electronic, no aperture slider, no focus screw, big diameter.

I have even successfully used a year-2017 Canon lens with Ring USM AF and IS on an original EOS 650 film body (released in 1987), and both AF and IS work perfectly. Mind you, both of those features did not even exist at the birth of EOS. Presumably the AF electronic protocol is agnostic of what motor technology is in the lens, and IS can be a lens-only thing without the body knowing.

Nikon's compatibility gotchas don't hold a candle to Canon's excellent (albeit imperfect) compatibility. Nikon keeps making the same mistakes over and over again, such as not having a screw-drive motor in the F to Z mount adapter; the company really seems to hate people with old lenses and bodies. Oh and this is not new either; Nikon's F to 1 adapter (does anyone remember that highly cropped mirrorless camera?) also lacked certain features.
Whether you train the model how to do math internally or tell it to call an external model which only does math the root problem still exists. It's not as if a model which only does math won't hallucinate how to solve math problems just because it doesn't know about history, for the same number of parameters it's probably better to not have to duplicate the parts needed to understand the basis of things multiple times.

The root problem is training models to be uncertain of their answers results in lower benchmarks in every area except hallucinations. It's like you were in a multiple choice test and instead of picking which of answers A-D you think made more sense you picked E "I don't know". Helpful for the test grader, a bad bet for the model trying to claim it gets the most answers right compared to other models.
Wouldn't the ability to "ask the right questions" require that AI could update its own weights, as those weights determine which questions can be asked?

The way in which they did this was quite innovative, if not "revolutionary". They used the data they had from the watching habits of their large user base to decide what kinds of content to invest in creating.
> increasing that percentage but the cycle rate for these hens in intensive farms is pretty regular already (<18 months) so I doubt they'd invest in the additional hatchery facilities for a temporary population lull.

this actually speaks to my point more than the other replies you (and other) gave. A temporary shed for layers to nest isn't insurmountable. Especially if you know that the end result is more money for you because of supply issues.

What i am not sure about, is why that didn't happen, since you say it did not. anyhow, it was just an idle thought. If i was selling eggs, and suddenly a quarter of my flock was wiped out - by a fox or something - i would probably immediately borrow a rooster and let the layers nest. I've done it before, so i'm not just "guessing." Contemplating protecting nesting chickens is the only thing that gives me pause, as i don't really like "outside dogs", but i have a herding dog.

Both of those countries dislike powerful, large corporations because they are a base of power that could compete with the state or party. The Wagner Group comes to mind. But China also did a huge crackdown affecting companies like Alibaba and Tencent.

About four years of total industry experience, split across two very different work domains, in what sounds like one organization.

I can't make an honest guess about whether their actual job will be "automated" or otherwise made redundant in the next year, as they suggest. Maybe they're right that they've been doing easily automatable work for these few years.

But I can question whether they have nearly enough insight, exposure, or experience for their personal anxiety to speak to the future of industry at large, to the future of FAANG's in general, or even to the future of their own "FAANGco"

I hope them the best in their personal decisions, but I wonder if they're getting a little over their skis here.

> The artificial price point for GMail, GDocs, GMeet has killed so much competition.

It literally led to the creation of Office 365 and broke open a market that had been closed to competition in the face of an unbreakable Microsoft Monopoly for decades! That sounds ridiculous on its face. Of all the product areas to complain about Google having a monopoly, you picked the office suite!?

HN tends strongly to one side of this argument, but really this is trending towards a "Google Derangement Syndrome" kind of analysis.
I get your point, I really do. And I somewhat agree with the basic tenet. It's just that if you look at the big picture and what they are doing on all fronts, it looks really really bad. And it's also who is doing this. I think Trump is a lying, shallow, stupid stupid man. I have thought this for a long time. People like this bring pain and suffering, not reform.

Even more, if you truly believe what you are saying, and you want a more competitive trade environment, getting someone who will botch it will hurt your cause. I see no way these guys are going to leave your country in a good state.
I think the "label (edit: annotation) based configuration" has got to be my least favorite thing about the k8s ecosystem. They're super magic, completely undiscoverable outside the documentation, not typed, not validated (for mutually exclusive options), and rely on introspecting the cluster and so aren't part of the k8s solver.

AWS uses them for all of their integrations and they're never not annoying.

This is something you could have taken 2 seconds to Google. This is why you're trolling and acting in bad faith. Regardless of our discussions here, Mahmoud is being deported and many more are to come according to statement put out by the White House.

Well, the fact that Trump is breaking all the treaties one after the other are certainly not encouraging for markets, but there are also many signs that suggest that:

1. Trump is planning to deflate the dollar (not the least of which being that this his Secretary of Treasury wrote a plan to do this);
2. Trump might be planning to re-negotiate the US debt, for what I believe is the first time in history.

Neither is the kind of thing that the markets enjoy seeing. After all, if the dollar is deflated by 50% (I'm inventing that number), all the money invested in Wall Street suddenly loses 50% of its value.

Also, I've read a few economists, and they seem to agree that the prosperity of the US is largely a bubble based on the (artificially) strong dollar, but that the same strong dollar is killing US exports. By these accounts, Trump's maneuvers are an attempt to pop that bubble, which might be good, but will destroy the prosperity bubble, which nobody really wants. Whether it's true or not, that hypothesis is a good reason to not invest in US economy.

And none of these three points can be fixed easily.

I have some sympathy for the view that we've just handed back some of the gains, but I don't understand the attitude about sanctions. Russia is a small economy. A small economy who primarily exports gas & oil to eastern europe. If there really is a peace deal and sanctions are lifted, I don't see how that positively impacts the US? It means cheaper oil for eastern europe (pricing out some of the US nat gas exports), almost certainly higher deficit defence spending across Europe (on local heroes, no one is trusting the US for security). Other than "good news markets go up" is the logic behind thinking a peace deal would drive US markets? A laughably theoretical deal for minerals?
Am I the only one that thinks that being "agent wrangler" actually makes building things more fun?

To me, the interesting parts in building is taking a real problem, mapping it to a set of "things" that need to be built, decompose them into treatable chunks, and defining how they should interact. This is where intelligence comes in. if agents want to take the rest, please do! I can focus on making better products.
Xbox has been nothing more than a budget, low-spec, walled in gaming PC for about 1.5 console generations. It no longer has exclusive games, and the hardware (console and peripherals) are mediocre.

TypeScript doesn't require a class to use it, though, because it's structurally typed. All that "implements Foo" in this example does is make sure that you get a type error on the definition of "One" if it doesn't have the members of "Foo".

If "Two" didn't have a "name: string" member, then the error would be on the call to "test".

interface Foo {
name: string
}

class One implements Foo {
constructor(public name: string) {}
}

class Two {
constructor(public name: string) {}
}

function test(thing: Foo): void {
//...
}

test(new One('joe'));
test(new Two('jane'));
Hadn't though about openai, which does seem like a possible interested party. The problem for them however is that they make money from subscriptions, not ads which presumably makes it much harder to monetize via control of the browser.
In this hypothetical scenario from the article, it's been years since employers stopped hiring juniors, so depending on when they graduate, there's probably employment gaps or unrelated work to factor into your decision as well.

And after this period, when companies start hiring juniors again, the amount of Stanford-like graduates may still be small because few wanted to go into CS. You have like a 2-4 year wait for people deciding to go into CS again.

If you are FAANG, you can throw money at the problem to get the best, but ordinary businesses probably won't be able to get Stanford grads during a junior-hiring boom.

Note that $15 million is nowhere near enough to pay the number of employees who work on Firefox. As a for-profit (unlike the foundation), Mozilla the corporation has to pay folks market rates, and if you're paying an employee in the US, you're paying that same amount on top as taxes, insurance, benefits, etc. etc. so $15 million gets you a few dozen people at most. Mozilla employs a few hundred. So you'll have to add a zero to that number before it's in the same ballpark (e.g. wikipedia would be a good example).

Show HN: Automating Supplier Compliance with AI
Hi HN,

We’ve just launched Clearbase to help supply chain and procurement teams automate the complex and time-consuming task of managing supplier compliance. Many teams still rely on spreadsheets and email follow-ups to track certifications, audits, and regulatory requirements—processes that are prone to errors and inefficiencies.

Clearbase leverages AI-driven workflows to centralize supplier data, automate document collection, and ensure real-time validation. Our platform saves teams countless hours by flagging missing or expired certifications and keeping up with evolving regulations like REACH, RoHS, TSCA, and PFAS.

Key benefits:

Reduce compliance risks with automatic monitoring of supplier documents.
Save time by eliminating manual tracking and follow-ups.
Stay audit-ready with centralized records and automated reporting.
Ensure regulatory coverage without extra work.
Improve collaboration with a shared workspace for teams and suppliers.
We’d love your feedback and are here to answer any questions! Check us out at https://clearbase.ai.

Peter Higgs would agree:

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2013/dec/06/peter-higgs-...

>Peter Higgs, the British physicist who gave his name to the Higgs boson, believes no university would employ him in today's academic system because he would not be considered "productive" enough.

>The emeritus professor at Edinburgh University, who says he has never sent an email, browsed the internet or even made a mobile phone call, published fewer than 10 papers after his groundbreaking work, which identified the mechanism by which subatomic material acquires mass, was published in 1964.

>He doubts a similar breakthrough could be achieved in today's academic culture, because of the expectations on academics to collaborate and keep churning out papers. He said: "It's difficult to imagine how I would ever have enough peace and quiet in the present sort of climate to do what I did in 1964."

>Speaking to the Guardian en route to Stockholm to receive the 2013 Nobel prize for science, Higgs, 84, said he would almost certainly have been sacked had he not been nominated for the Nobel in 1980.
