    Obviously experiences vary greatly, but I was on one of the largest AWS orgs and they were quite punitive. People would demand them for perceived slights, then assign reviewers tha…

    Totally agree. Pixel devices are probably still the best Android offering, but I originally got into the ecosystem because it was less confined and that appears to be changing. Whi…

    Isn’t YouTube premium essentially what you’re describing?

    Ha, good call. I tried that, it seemed showed a bunch of examples that seem to leave out the extension name. I wish the tutorial was better.

    Where did you see that? It seems this is integrating two extensions together, I'm curious how that would work. I asked it "@gmail summarize my last 5 emails" and that worked decent…

    I love it. "provide me a rendered html page with the most relevant links and descriptions for a given topic, completely free of advertising"

    I've had success with it. The integration with other google services could be a killer feature, but I think it needs some more polish and control. For example, right now it can't a…

    The article already states this. The person you were replying to is asking about a different - but similar - case where an employee's last name is "Null".

    Obviously it doesn't change anything in the physical world. I think you're just misunderstanding the implication. If this software fulfills the need, individuals would not need to …

    Is it special files that begin with a capital letter, version sets, version filter instances, and massive symlink farms?

    I'm not going to get a Pixel Tablet, but I really do like the idea of a charging dock speaker.

    Do you have a source? I thought this has been thoroughly debunked.

    For sure. The Dan Deacon AI concert at the beginning of this was was pretty good (mostly due to Dan being a crazy genius).

    Yeah, it's more like "models used, results, example capabilities" and "how we're going to use this responsibly".

    I had a OnePlus 1 and later a 3t for an impressively long time. I wish they would go back to the flagship specs / mid-range price model with the build quality they used to have.

    Agreed. It seems like they have the capabilities, but failed on the product side of things, as it seems they do often these days. I disagree with the GP that they "blew a 7 year le…

    That surprised me too - I read that they are restructuring their assistant team to focus more on Bard, so I don't know if that means they are less focused on the core assistant or …

    Maybe going against the grain here, but this was the best Google I/O I've seen in a long time. In the past, they seemed liked incremental updates on their hardware (which I don't c…

    If AI can generate them trivially, maybe that suggests cover letters should not have been that important to begin with. To me, the main benefit of a cover letter is that it shows t…
