Not only is America not thinking long term, it has lost its priorities. Democracy used to be more important than money, but now it’s the other way around.

I think it’s great that Minnesota is doing something! However with laws like these I think its important for people outside of politics to audit and scrutinize them. One failure mode of politics is that it’s almost impossible to vote against something like this even if there are enormous...

Do you have a problem with Vietnamese and Kenyan workers also getting jobs? Ffs, this is how globalization works, it spreads money around. Of course it’s not motivated by kindness by greedy corporations, but the effects for workers in said countries and the world at large are positive. Or what...

You know that you’re referring to formula-e and not f1 right? Also, storing energy by spinning your e-motor in that way was a rule hack. Not that it wasn’t smart, but things like that have always been quashed because it isn’t transferable to anything useful outside the current rule set.

How? If there aren’t enough breaking zones to regen enough energy to power the engine, how is a larger battery going to do anything other than just delay the inevitable for a lap or two?

I feel for you man. The bad news is that regardless of bubble, SWE is likely changed for good. The good news is that MBA type ass hats tend to be very reductive in their thinking. Especially the middle management MBA wannabes on linkedin. Usually their reaction to new tech is extremely...

From the Charlie Marsh announcement: Is this money talking, or is he honest? I know this has historically been a very AI skeptical forum, but it seems that the sentiment around coding assistants have swung quite a bit during 2026. And if you truly believe in this being the future, continuing...

In what way does a steering wheel become better when its a squircle? In what way does a central screen become better when you cut off the corners diagonally? It’s time to kick out current interior designers, and hire people who’s primary focus is usability. Design can never be timeless and...

This. How hard is it to just have a slider to turn off or on? My guess is that they had the experience of the regular airpods in mind when they designed this, you just pop them out of their housing, put them in your ears and automatically they're on. The problem is that no one uses the case for...

Imho worth it, it’s really nice if you work with text/code and want a calmer more paper like feel. It’s one of those things that are worth a trip to an apple store to see for yourself though.

Unfortunately, as everyone is afraid to fall behind on the LLM curve; research into alternative architectures has all but seized.

If I download a book from someone else, I have engaged in piracy. To what degree does this translate to what the researchers have done here?

This has zero appeal to me. The tactility and simplicity of a physical puzzle is the point, which is ruined here.

To be fair, building the AI systems themselves are a pretty interesting task. Morally questionable, but interesting nonetheless.

SerpApi does not have it’s own index. As far as I can tell, they call Google for each request, stripping out all content but the links, and returns it as JSON. It’s a glorified proxy that adds nothing, it just steals the value delivered by google and re-sells it. One doesn’t have to like...

You can legislate and require anything, that in itself doesn’t mean it’s practically doable in reality. A general ”But how?” seems like a perfectly valid question that laypeople should engage in before just demanding it from the ”experts”.

Video models aren’t trained to produce movies, they are trained to produce clips. A talented human director could in the future then potentially produce a movie from these clips (in addition to regular footage) in a way that Hollywood is unwilling to. It vastly lowers the cost for producing...

I’m worried the increased competitive pressure will lead to shorter safety testing cycles. Clearly this model was already trained (you don’t train a new model in weeks) and in testing, but ”code red” pushed it out the door.

Idk, but it’s a hilariously meta take that validates the premise of the show.

Its not only that gemini has gotten better, its that aspects of chatgpt has arguably gotten worse. Voice mode for instance is almost unusable now. If you try to discuss something, all it does is compliment you on your thinking and repeat back what you’ve just told it. It used to ask follow up...
