I guess that explains the questions I had when I was mysteriously logged into Edge. I checked whether Chrome does something similar, and it can, but the setting "Sign in to Chrome when you sign in to other Google services" was set to "Don't sign in", so I'm not sure whether this is the default or not.

I wanted to say that some animations look choppy, but it's yet again the Chrome's prefers-reduced-motion css feature mapped to Windows's Animation Effects knob, which is completely outrageous.

I noticed Pluto is running on a simple CPU? If so, that's very nice for future RTS games. You just ship (or use a server-client arch) a bunch of models of various difficulty levels to let players practice. Could we even get models tuned to specific campaign levels? I wonder how costly the creation of Pluto was.

When I was younger, I used to think most people were dumb as well. But then you realize that you are just as dumb sometimes, and your most cheerished people can be as well. It's just human nature. Thinking everything and everyone is dumb can probably be characterized as being stupid, since you're not thinking about this very deeply.

It's unfortunate to think that some people may want to restrain themselves from sharing as much in the form of blog posts, but on the other hand, if you're still using AI in your day to day work from cloud providers, perhaps we'll still benefit from that data in one way or another.

I mean, OpenAI couldn't guarantee that someone's data was not used for training, even though he had the "don't train on my data" setting turned on. I still don't understand what that means. And Anthropic probably does a similar thing, right? Did they share details how they derive from our data for training purposes?

Ah, so that's why. Do the big Chinese companies handle this well? Alibaba, perhaps? Huawei, surely? By owning the packaging and shipping?

What is the Silicon Valley brogrammer subculture? Is it the same as the Silicon Valley subculture? What defines both? Are LLMs really the product of brogrammers?

The current firefox.com is incredibly simple, though. It's also pretty tablet/phone centric (everything is so large on Desktop).

Nice! Although not a fan of the sticky animation blocks since they take so much vertical space.

It’s also a great way to retain talent that care about working with like minded people.

>particularly harming vulnerable youth and marginalized groups who often find safety in supportive online communities

This is debatable and may actually have a net negative effect on those groups. Not to say that this bill is desirable. Shouldn't they push for stronger/better/flexible parental controls in devices instead? Perhaps offering to set them up in OOTB experiences?

> The stock market is breaking records. Corporate profits are booming. And yet plenty of us look at our paychecks and don’t quite feel the boom.

It is a shame that many people are so risk averse in general that they don't invest in the stock market, getting richer along with the rest. Investors aren't a special class of people, so I don't get why society should look down on the fact that the stock market is breaking records while your paychecks doesn't substantially increase. Your investments do!

> To be clear: I’m not saying that workers are poorer than they were 30 years ago. On average, they’re doing better. The size of our economic pie has grown, and so a smaller slice of a bigger pie still adds up to more pie.

> My point, instead, is to focus on the change in how we slice that pie. It matters because the split between workers and owners is one of the most important factors driving who gets what from our economy.

The author should expand on why he thinks it is actively bad that some people are getting more while everyone is better off anyway.

Perhaps you didn't read the article, but the implementation they describe is interesting and perhaps easier implemented in a new project from scratch.

It can't be any worse than current github, and since we've heard plenty of people express their dissatisfaction with github recently, this is actually a good direction for Cursor. A product people may want. We'll see.

I'm hoping Cursor becomes the third biggest (American) AI model company, replacing Google. Elon works best with top talent, and I think Cursor most kept its team together; were there any big departure from there recently?

Perhaps no one cared about RAM consumption, but RAM is expensive again.

In this specific case, is your Weather app important enough to waste 1GB on your users' PCs? Most PCs only have 16 GB.

Perhaps you'd like to dig down into the stats using AI to find out that the gap in policing isn't really due to race. Check by poverty level, and perhaps by geographic areas.

I find it very that a big company ever gets this deep in layers of indirection, but at least they have the guts to restructure. The government rarely does.

A token is probably not a single char, and an image is probably decomposed into tokens as well (and god knows how many tokens an image is decomposed into) which probably map to similar float-hungry vectors. Your counterargument could use a bit more flesh.

And we're talking about images of texts, not images that represent complex imagery such as a very detailed scene or what have you.

Yes, it's been my experience as well. When I was looking for a good svg generator, I found a bunch of repos on Github created by Chinese programmers: OmniSVG / OmniLottie, SVGDreamer, and a few others. I didn't try them but it tells me that at least some people are trying to make it happen.

Hah, is Google now just as bad at naming things as Microsoft?

Well if you want to be pedantic, your NVMe drive is actually a SSD, nvme being merely a transport protocol. But point taken; I should have said SSD prices.

The disk and memory prices are very high right now. Perhaps they could do a disk-less, memory-less variant.

The switch to hardware-accelerated rendering was poor. It's still causing issues today. Is it the graphic drivers' fault or their poor implementation? Who knows, but they also disabled the switch that allowed to turn it off, which is just classic Microsoft being annoying.

Or USB:

- USB 2.0: High-Speed USB

- USB 3.0: Super-Speed USB

The marketing names are often deficient, but at least there's a clear version number attached to it. Microsoft doesn't like version numbers at all.

When was it different? I never saw that in big corporations, only SMBs when the founders were still at the helm.

Didn't we already have a video of that? I don't remember the data sources used to generate the overlay, however. Was it multiple solders' helmets sharing their data, and/or perhaps even a drone from above?

What damage?

One can say that food can be produced elsewhere, but also data centers might be a critical component of future society if we don't solve birth rates. Also, fewer births mean less food required.

Isn't using Arena just simplifying memory management, thereby reducing the amount of bugs as well?

I now imagine a world where CAPSLOCK is used as "select the next input" and TAB as the character.
