If google's AI is doing so great why are the "questions and answers" near thr lle search so bad?

Also the search quality itself went downhill. There was a great article about that on HN some time ago.
GP said they were in Sydney. As far as I know, the week officially starts on Monday in Australia. That's also the case for most of Europe, BTW. Maybe their locale wasn't set right or it's another case of American software assuming weird American standards for the rest of the world.
I made ChatGPT your music companion
One cool hacky thing you can do on Android is to get access to what music is currently playing on the phone (i.e. what Spotify song is playing, or any other music app).

The second cool thing you can do on Android is to have a bubble app to overlays on the screen on top of all apps. Once clicked, it can expand or collapse.

So, I built a bubble app that listens to what song is currently playing on the phone, asks ChatGPT to get fun trivia and insights about the song and displays them to the user. With one click on the bubble, you can instantly get behind-the-song info and elevate your music listening experience!

It's called MusicAI Bubble. It's free. Again, it works with any music app on your phone (Spotify, Apple Music, TIDAL, etc).

What more features would you like to see in such an app?
> I think soon people expect this service to be provided for free and ads would become the main option to make money out of chatbots.

I also think adtech corrupting AI as well is inevitable, but I dread for that future. Chatbots are much more personal than websites, and users are expected to give them deeply personal data. Their output containing ads would be far more effective at psychological manipulation than traditional ads are. It would also be far more profitable, so I'm sure that marketers are salivating at this opportunity, and adtech masterminds are hard at work to make this a reality already.

The repercussions of this will be much greater than we can imagine. I would love to be wrong, so I'm open to being convinced otherwise.
Its worse than that ...

Corporate customers demanded it for employee "monitoring and metrics".

Odd that none of them show the horizon. Does anyone know why they’re angled so low?
I sincerely appreciate the reply, but are you talking about Moore's law? Alexnet could run on a commercially available GPU in 2011(?). But that wasn't the peak compute platform being used at the time for DL inference, so it distorts the progress a bit. It's like me saying I was running a neural net on a raspberry pi yesterday for written character recognition on MNIST and today crunching stable diffusion on a GTX3090. Behold, a trillion-fold leap in just a day (nevermind the unrelated applications). The singularity is definitely gonna happen tomorrow!

But let's take for granted that we are putting exponential scaling to good use in terms of compute resources. It looks like we are seeing sublinear performance improvements on actual benchmarks[1]. Either way it seems optimistic at best to conclude that 1000x more compute would yield even 10x better results in most domains.

Is it just my computer or do others also have huge performance problems in somewhat large chats in AI Studio?

They really need to fix this.

It gets to a point where on each submit Google Chrome pops up a "wait | close tab" dialog.

I then have to use AI Studio for the "big picture" in one tab and ChatGPT in the smaller subtasks which help with the big picture.
Unix emulates resource and data fork with .dotfiles or in the case of a historical aufs implementation from Melbourne uni (if I recall right) two distinct mountpaths with identical tree structures.

What was never explained to me is how the resource and data forks map to actual disk blocks on an Apple computer.
Did you try to unsubscribe? They mention such possibility in their every email.

Looks like a last-ditch effort to salvage its crumbling technological sovereignty amid the EU's systemic crisis. Even if they invent something, production will happen in China or the US.

Germany wants to preserve Airbus and stay relevant in European space programs, but without cheap energy and raw materials this is a pipe dream. Quantum computing/hydrogen is theoretically promising, but they're already behind China and the US. Trying to catch up to Russia in drones and EW, but without energy independence or microelectronics it won't work.

Without Russian gas or nuclear power, high-tech manufacturing is unprofitable. Germany's best engineers are already in Shanghai and Silicon Valley. Russia/China/the US are sprinting ahead in hypersonics, AI, and 6G, while Germany is just forming a ministry.

Germany's move isn't a breakthrough, it's desperation. They're trying to save face, but they lack energy for advanced tech w/o Russia, have no military shield w/o the US, can’t manufacture at scale w/o China.
Many of the people reviewing the game highly (at well-regarded publications) have spoken about playing the game for tens of hours, some mentioning 100h+.

You’re paying for time. Seiko make great watches with cnc machines under the orient brand. They cost about £150-300.

In terms of watch, it’s the same type of parts and accuracy as a base Rolex.

Rolex you are paying for the name. Yes, they are better quality than an orient, but not much. There is better QC, and more people looking at the watch before it’s sent out, but in terms of precision of manufacturing, or amount of cnc machine used, it’s mostly the same.

There is a thriving scene in small watch producers, spinnaker, holthinrich, de ryke and co, vortic, Weiss, lorier to name a few. Some are sub £300, others not.
Benzinga is not a tiny outlet at all. There’s quite some trading platforms that distribute their news to their customers, like Interactive Brokers.

Personally, I would argue that the corruption afterburner kicked in with Citizens United v. FEC.

This was like giving a crack addict a feedback loop which gives them more crack. Of course it was going to end badly.

We could discuss many possible points of inflection, but I don't want to dilute the undeniable power of the phrase "trust is efficient."

However we got here, whatever one's politics, you cannot argue against that simple phrase, and the tragedy of the loss.

As someone who still runs Win2003 R2 (32bit) on my desktop I can confirm. It was peak MS. System is very stable, UI (classic) is great. It is quick, snappy and good looking. For basic POSIX I have cygwin. For other stuff I use VMs. I have all tools needed to handle some mainmentance (compilers, DDK, docs, ...).

But there is problem.. HW.. The pool of old HW is shrinking, and one day I will not be able to run it anymore.. I guess I will move to Linux. There are few nice and lightweight distros...
Multicast UDP is widely used - but not on the Internet.

We often forget there are networks other than the Internet. Understandable, since the Internet is most open. The Internet is just an overlay network over ISPs' private networks.

SCTP is used in cellphone networks and the interface between them and legacy POTS networks. And multicast UDP is used to stream TV and/or radio throughout a network or building. If you have a "cable TV" box that plugs into your fiber internet connection, it's probably receiving multicast UDP. The TV/internet company has end-to-end control of this network, so they use QoS to make sure these packets never get dropped. There was a write-up posted on Hacker News once about someone at a hotel discovering a multicast UDP stream of the elevator music.
I used to feel insecure or jealous of the number of friends these people have, but years ago I realized that I would find their lives exhausting and terrible. And vice versa, they'd hate the amount of time I spend on my own doing stuff.
I know I’ll be downvoted but, since we’re going straight for scorched land, I prefer to voice it.

I think most voters think like me “I still prefer Trump to a leftist government”:

- Was there any need to be so extreme in terms of wokeness on the left? I am directly threatened by their program. Was there really any need to go for such a degree of revolution, ensuring everyone sensical would vote Trump? Could the left imagine being a little more democratic and making a few more concessions towards… omg, white males? Is it such a bane? It’s concessions for white males, or we vote for Trump, so did the left win anything with their scorched earth policy?

- It is true that savings needed to be done. The left refused to do any, and went to raise the public programs, reaching a few trillion debt per semester. At one point this has to stop, and the left ain’t gonna stop by itself, so the left provokes the people into voting for the only one who will stop public spending and, yes, he comes in, and has the bad role of taking the US to the cleaners. You will say “It doesn’t even save money” and whatsnot, but would the left have saved the money by themselves? No. Never. So someone else came in and saved for them.

This entire movement is a reactionary movement to the left. The left makes no concessions. So both sides go for a scorched earth policy.

What have we learned? What have we won, on either sides?

Do we agree that, staying closed-minded as they are, the left will resume public spendings by the trillions the moment they step into power? Do we agree that the left is a direct threat to meritocracy, stability of government, men in marriage, men at work, a direct threat to men’s financial stability, and that no-one on the left cares even a little what others-than-them feel?
I don't think all artists are treating this tool as such an existential threat.
I chat with Gemini Pro 2.5 Exp in Continue.dev IntelliJ plugin. I told it to "implement this method" and it even suggested improvements in other files (that were included in context). I feel like talking to a person.

BUT more often than not, it stopped halfway (the code, so it's unusable). I'm not sure if it's the plugin that cannot handle the response, but it never happens with Claude.

I'm pretty sure it's because just about every applicable art school has enforced their student's output to be done in adobe's products - meaning that Adobe has a firm grip on the educator's market. As the saying goes, hook them in when they're young and they'll be too lazy and vested to move away from their products for a lifetime.

Ask HN: Sharing SMB via Internet
So I went to the official sysinternals site the other day, and found a link to a network share with all the tools. I curiously entered it in my run window and the share appeared. I copied the tools I needed.

Now:

1. I wonder - was it some Microsoft hack to allow using SMB via internet? I always thought that SMB is only local

2. Was I compromised? I mean is SMB encrypted? Could anyone inject anything or override the share to a malicious one?

Also found it but it seems incorrect:

> But I would never willingly spend my time or money engaging with AI "art." By that, I mean I would never attend a concert, watch a film, visit a museum, read a book, or even scroll through an Instagram profile if what I'm viewing is largely the output of AI. What would the point be?

Why not? The output of AI is usually produced at the request of a human. So if the human will then alter the request such that the result suits whatever the human's goal is, why would there be no point?

This, to me, sound like the debate of whether just pressing a button on a box to produce a photograph is actually art, compared to a painting. I wonder whether painters felt "threatened" when cameras became commonplace. AI seems just like a new, different way of producing images. Sure, it's based on prior forms of art, just like photography is heavily inspired by painting.

And just because most images are weird or soulless or whatever doesn't disqualify the whole approach. Are most photographs works of art? I don't think so. Ditto for paintings.

To your point about Instagram profiles, I actually do follow some dude who creates "AI art" and I find the images do have "soul" and I very much enjoy looking at them.
I feel the article presents the data selectively in some places. Two examples:

* The article compares Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental to DeepSeek-R1 in accuracy benchmarks. Then, when the comparison becomes about cost, it compares Gemini 2.0 Flash to DeepSeek-R1.

* In throughput numbers, DeepSeek-R1 is quoted at 24 tok/s. There are half a dozen providers, who give you easily 100+ tok/s and at scale.

There's no doubt that Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental is a state of the art model. I just think it's very hard to win on every AI front these days.

Not sure that's true. America's military keeps peace for trade to happen in a lot of the world... Not always successfully but it's there. That works because they have the reserve currency and can therefore print money for free. Which benefits the US greatly in all sorts of ways. But everyone else also sees some good. If that goes away its going to have impacts on everyone else as well as America. Maybe not as much of an impact on the rest of the world but this is not good for anyone.
I can get the anger at the way the US acts, particularly over the last couple of weeks, but that doesn't mean that them doing badly helps the rest of us
> just make impossible to do anything in digital

We in the EU are missing all the innovative ways companies can scam or poison us.

It is indeed a terrible place.
You completely missed the point. It had nothing to do with who is executing the trades.

>> If nothing else, doesn't it magnify the public's risk beyond whatever impact Buffet could have on his own?

I am saying that when you let others pull the same trick in addition to Buffet himself, they can now bring their own additional funds to play with -- meaning they can make more trades and cause even more damage than Buffet could inflict on his own. This clearly enlarges the blast radius and allows more harm to the public than Buffet could cause with his own funds. It is ludicrous to close your eyes and suggest the situation is no different, just like it is by suggesting that there's no difference between one country having nukes vs. N of them having them.

Heck, the fact that Warren Buffet is used as the example here instead of some random John Doe makes it clear how intentionally ridiculous the example is: for this to even pass the laugh test and obscure the reality of the situation, you have to pick one of richest people of all time, so that even aggregating a thousand other random strangers' funds together would still miss his purchasing power by multiple orders of magnitude.

Why don't you start with someone poor instead of Buffet, then add Buffet to the equation, then try to claim that bringing the billionaire into the equation makes no difference, rather than the other way around?

So far, their actions are compatible with both hypotheses.

It's when the orders come in to directly use military force to support unconstitutional acts that we find out, not simply when the military fails to intervene in legal disputes.

I've given you lots of opportunity to offer a defense to the points I raised in my first reply to you. I've offered to go into more detail. I've contrasted Heinlein's work with contemporaneous works. Saying "you should go and read more" is not compelling, especially given the amount of effort you've expended to avoid saying anything of substance. I wonder if you feel insecure about whether such a defense is possible.
If you have clients, now would be a good time for you to become very curious about something called "the principal-agent problem," rather than wait till some prosecutor mentions the phrase before a dock in which you, if permitted a chair, are sitting.
Linux works because network effects pressure everyone to upstream their changes. There's no such upstreaming possible with the open-weight models, and new sets of base weights can only be generated with millions of dollars of compute. Companies could conceivably collaborate on architectures and data sets, but with the amount of compute and data involved, only a handful of organizations would ever have the resources to be able to contribute.

Unlike Linux, which was started by a cranky Finn on his home computer, and can still be built and improved by anyone who can afford a Raspberry Pi.
Lets be honest for once -germany is deeply risk averse and conservative. Its leaders can try to cast that "we wamt that california culture" spell a million times and out hops another wirecard. You can not graft innovation cultures to conservation cultures . You would need to change the conservation culture at thr upbringing roots, by highlighting how pure conservation gets you into wars and other problems. By rewarding characters that want to go on a adventure .You can not tell the guy who wants to jump a mammoth with a pointy stick, that this is "toxic masculinity" and "the outstanding nail gets hammered" in kindergarden and open a ministry for elephant steak.
> If you analyze their trades, very few are suspect of timing. They just make a bunch of long term bets on tech.

But what about the ones that very obviously are? Why did they sell a lot of Visa stocks?

"On Tuesday, less than three months after the massive transaction, Visa was hit with a DOJ lawsuit alleging that the company illegally monopolized the debit card market."

Selling whenever a company gets into regulatory trouble means you avoid all the big downs but still get from all the long term ups. Its a very simple strategy as you say, but its still insider trading even though the ups are mostly the long term gains.

I think Wall Street would love to know the secret formula that can detect fraud and insider trading by analyzing trade volume in real-time that apparently hundreds of people in this very forum all seem to be aware of.

I'm surprised if they would let the trades go through at all once they know the secret.

It's interesting to hear your perspective as a former OpenAI employee. The point about the sustainability of subscription fees for chatbots is definitely something worth considering. Many developers mention the challenge of balancing user expectations for free services with the costs of maintaining sophisticated AI models. I think the ad-supported model might become more prevalent, but it also comes with its own set of challenges regarding user privacy and experience. And I agree that Google's situation is complex – they have the resources, but also the expectations that come with being a public company.
