It's google's b2b offering (suite of tools including gmail, google docs, drive etc). It's an Office 365 competitor and changed name more times than I can remember. GSuite, Google Apps, Google Apps for Work, Google Apps for Business...

Google Workspace hasn’t changed its name in a few years now. Do you think it’s due for a change or has it finally sobered up?

Asking “what’s the weather” in the morning gets Siri to yell at you about the phone being locked, or even “I don’t know where you are”.

It’s such trash. Constant conditioning for garbage.

Timers and alarm clocks it is.

People’s attention span has decreased to a matter of days now, if not hours. Have you seen how quickly front page news in the US is forgotten?

The democratic process needs a revamp but it shouldn’t be driven by the general populations attention span.

So the founder is going to work at a company they want to work at, and I’m guessing as part of the hiring agreement he had to wind down his activities on or shut down the project…

For his sake I hope he doesn’t end up regretting it when the job isn’t as rewarding as he thought, or he gets laid off after a few months and doesn’t have a project to go back to.

I don’t have enough context to really judge I am sure, but this is a story that happens often enough for me to already think he’s making a massive mistake.

I don’t want to harp on as you had a couple answers on this already but if you need to pay your devs, what is your suggested alternative to “having money in the bank”? The latter only happens with more sales, and that only happens if you have something to sell.

There are entire American industries that are only profitable because of the EU funded education that its largest contributors received.

“Not having drm” is also a “for now” thing. Everything is “for now”. A person being good, a corporation being bad, everything can be appended with “for now”. It’s not an argument. You look at historical actions and willingness to change. Valve has been doing business this way forever.

Give OpenAI a few more months :)

Glad I’m not the only one who sometimes justifies spending time on project purely because of the name I can give to them.

Should've listened to Herman Cain :)

Didn’t this change recently?

My team and I have done a lot of research on this. In essence, what’s missing is MCP-type access to the language servers. There’s a couple of people doing this but nobody’s really building on top of this because the current janky way works, it’s a hard problem, and it’s not easily monetizable. But yes, it’s definitely the correct thing that needs to happen at some point. Unlikely to get popular until coding agents natively support it.

Yeah Beads is a very nice experience. Useful, easy to set up, easy to drop.

It’s not true agi until it can recreate the emotional state of Van Gogh when he cut his ear and express the pain through the brush, in svg format.

If I ask you to count the r’s in strawberry, do you whip out your Python tool?

Your counter to the idea that AI and LLMs will improve over time (as they have massively the past years) is picking one example of a technology that hasn’t improved much over 50 years?

That’s it?

How is this intellectually honest?

I’ve been here a long time and I’m still here, so I don’t exactly dislike it here. However, if I did, telling people to “ignore the ai posts” is utterly unrealistic given that ai is changing everything about software, and this is a forum mainly about software.

I can still share discontent with the state of things. It’s a thing, you know.

OT: Posted an hour ago, two top level comments, none of them about the article. Instead, random complaints about casing and terminology.

Meanwhile, articles such as this one (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45412263) get spammed with people yelling for “examples”, such as exactly what’s here.

One thing AI has changed for me (beyond, you know, everything) is making me really depressed about the state of the HN community. It seems HN itself hasn’t been immune to the severe social media toxicity pandemic going around… merely doing better than the gen pop alternatives.

Can someone explain why UV is so praised when Poetry achieved a lot of that good several years earlier? Maybe I missed the train but I’ve been using poetry since its first version and all the benefits people praise UV for have long been in my builds.

It’s scary when the reality of the situation settles in, isn’t it?

Scarier when you understand that 20 years is way too long an estimate for this.

Europe is watching.

Slack by default doesn’t have that reaction emoji. You are hallucinating :)

He wouldn’t happen to be a guy in Nebraska by any chance?

Maybe the ISG would be interested in taking this over, possibly with some sponsorship money?

Wasn’t Tim, I guess it’d have been too embarrassing…

There is nothing preventing storing standard 2FA secrets on iCloud. You shouldn’t blindly accept substandard behaviour because of imagined technical requirements.

The Apple ID sign in is insane in the first place. Why does Apple want to feel so frickin special and require a working iPhone for 2FA and passkeys, instead of adopting standards?

One day the eu will yell at them to do things normally and then Cook will go on stage to showcase what an awesome idea they had that nobody thought of before: “standards!”. Wait no, that’s usb c.

Side-rant over.

Thanks for your invaluable contribution. I can’t speak to what this other person has built with AI but on my side I’ve built two live startups with AI so far and working on more (I lead a venture studio doing exactly this).

If you’re actually curious (instead of just trolling or pretending everyone who’s using ai to code is having mass hallucinations), you can join my talk at Google Brussels next week. Sign up here: https://gdg.community.dev/events/details/google-gdg-cloud-be...

What for? You responded in hostile and dismissive ways to others that have done just that in other comments - what is there to think you’ll do any different this time?

Useless take. There’s plenty of examples, nobody needs to prove anything to you in particular.
