AuthConnectFail··on Waymo rides cost more than Uber or Lyft and people are paying anyway
but do you care for accountability or more safety (through lower crash rate)at the end of the day?
AuthConnectFail··on YouTube's new ads will ruin the best part of a video on purpose
they are trying to move to subscription model, seems like a reasonable alternative
AuthConnectFail··on Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview
you can ask it to remove, it does p good job at it
AuthConnectFail··on 4o Image Generation
its other way around, openai was gonna announce it so Google upstaged
AuthConnectFail··on Veo 2: Our video generation model
short video creation tools, its a huge market
AuthConnectFail··on Gemini 2.0: our new AI model for the agentic era
it's insane on lmarena for a size, livebench should have it soon too I guess
AuthConnectFail··on Google has been blocking Invidious with error "This helps protect our community"
this is just not true, even the huge creators mention that it's usually 30-50% of their revenue.
AuthConnectFail··on Amazon virtually kills efforts to develop Alexa Skills
it's subsidy, personally feel like that shouldn't be your model for sustaining that is barely amazon's fault here, they did their part but there doesnt seem to be market around it
AuthConnectFail··on California Approves Waymo Expansion to Los Angeles and SF Peninsula [pdf]
they are usually couple of dollars more (for $20 range rides) but I think their demand supply is so skewed that it surges almost all the time it feels like
AuthConnectFail··on Gemini 1.5 outshines GPT-4-Turbo-128K on long code prompts, HVM author
if you are primary payer, you still get it I think
AuthConnectFail··on Bard's latest updates: Access Gemini Pro globally and generate images
any examples of that? my experience has been other way round (i don't have gpt-4 access so i am comparing chatgpt-3.5 with bard)
AuthConnectFail··on OpenAI offers $10M pay packages to poach Google researchers
They are very legit and well researched articles, probably the most accurate in terms of tech news(semaphore is pretty good as well). However, for niche audience news, subscription is probably the only sustainable way to build a business
AuthConnectFail··on Amazon props Vega to replace Android-based Fire OS on future smart devices
They'll be back.
AuthConnectFail··on YouTube's New Ad Blocker Crackdown
it's around 6-8$ per 1000 views
AuthConnectFail··on Amazon will invest up to $4B in Anthropic
Strange given google's investment history, they owned roughly 15ish% before this.
AuthConnectFail··on YouTube Blocks Ad Blockers Amid Declining Ad Revenue
I don't think there is anything wrong with blocking ad blockers, backlash is just cause people feel entitled to consume content for free without paying their fair share to creators be it adsense or premium account share.
AuthConnectFail··on YouTube Blocks Ad Blockers Amid Declining Ad Revenue
there is higher quality available for premium, doesnt change anything for rest of the user (they'll still get current best quality)
AuthConnectFail··on Google needs to stop throwing good money after Bard
Tried to check it but bing wouldn't let me query without downloading edge so I gave up.
AuthConnectFail··on Google needs to stop throwing good money after Bard
yea but that's regular people's usecase, if they train and provide it for free for sure they'd be better option but in current form bard feels more useful for me.
AuthConnectFail··on Google needs to stop throwing good money after Bard
I think HN users are over indexing on capabilities to solve complex problems, I was looking for something simple like "why diane feinstein is in capitol today", bard knew the answer whereas chatgpt doesnt answer the question. another example was "why is jaime foxx in hospital", i think these are the question that people usually have where bard is much better equipped at.
AuthConnectFail··on Bipartisan Legislation to Ban TikTok
it's not likely to pass according to verge
AuthConnectFail··on Dear Spotify, can we just get a table of songs?
Weird, I actually love that feature. Especially on my browser if there are multiple videos on my feed that I wanted to watch then hated open multiple tabs for them and in most cases I never ended up going there or bloating the number of tabs open.
AuthConnectFail··on Ask HN: Do people at Google use Google things
Yes
