One is literally able to drive itself with no human. The other is advanced cruise control. This is like saying a regular plane is better than a fighter jet because it has less sensors and both can fly.
Perplexity, in their own docs, provides their user agent so that you can block it if you choose. The article's biggest quibble is that they are not actually us in the agent they publicly claim.
There are articles every day about how AI is replacing programmers, coding is dead etc, including from the nvidia ceo this week. This kind of thing shows we are not quite there yet. There are lots of folks on twitter etc who rave about how genAI built a full app for them, but in my experience that comes with a huge amount of human trial and error and understanding to know what needs to be tweaked.
Would be interested to hear what constitute 'high crimes' that should allow more than ten year sentences? On repatriation, I don't know who's going to want to accept each others' criminal exiles. Though perhaps there would be, we do have armies promising freedom in exchange for conscription.
A lot of it was the unwillingness to take risk. LLMs were, and still are, hard to control, in terms of making sure they give correct and reliable answers, making sure they don't say inappropriate things that hurt your brand. When you're the stable leader you don't want to tank your reputation, which makes LLMs difficult to put out there. It's almost good for Google that OpenAI broke this ground for them and made people accepting of this imperfect technology.
Right, this is exactly the feedback that google is trying addressing by elevating Reddit posts. People complained so much about needing to add 'Reddit'; now those posts are surfaced, and people here are complaining again. Truly can't please everyone.
PBS Frontline has a good documentary on the NSO Group. They are sanctioned by the government, and even used as political leverage - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZVj1_SE4Mo
I think it's very helpful for someone to point out that the source has been shown to be unreliable before, and we should wait for more verification from others knowledgable in the space.
If I were writing applications only for myself it'd be fine, but I've definitely run into issues when writing code with others - teammates, open source repos, etc.
I work with Fortune 50s in cloud, and they can barely manage ipv4. If you're in a digital native it's different, but in my experience most behemoths do not inspire confidence with how on top of their network infrastructure they are.
Kagi seems cool, but I haven't felt that google search is so bad that I'd pay ~120/year for search. I think Google's also heard the discontent around search results lately and has been trying to improve - eg. I get relevant Reddit results now without needing to specify that into my query. I personally haven't found cases where the results are so bad I would rather start paying, but would be interested to hear specific examples to open my eyes if people have them.
Which are the companies that have generated billions for VCs that don't pay higher end salaries? I agree many startups pay less, but I wouldn't say those have 'made it'.
As someone who's worked at both gsuite and office shops, I would pick gsuite every time. After the first place where I used gsuite I used to try to figure out which I'd have to use before applying somewhere new.
Thsi is completely normal for any business. If you are ‘important’, like an authority or a large customer, you have priority channels to go through. When Tesla wants to contact the Department of Transportation, do you think they go to their website, fill in the public contact form and wait two months for a response?
Agreed, it helps you understand what’s been abstracted away from you in many higher level languages. From a security perspective I think you learn to avoid C wherever possible.
