Betting markets can be good predictors but I think what poly market is reflective of is not people who are looking for the optimal bet; but wish casting of crypto bros.

In the most bad faith way possible. They are going to get absolutely gutted on this. They think they’re above the fray, but there’s a reason Google and Meta are taking DMA way more…

Great fingerprinting vector. Expect nothing less from Google.

On the flip side, Vision Pro has no apps and it may not be the biggest reason for its failure, but it’s a contributor that I don’t see changing. Apple’s main source of innovation i…

Maybe, maybe not - but are they on more solid footing than Intel? Undoubtedly.

Yeah. If you solve accessibility you generally solve SEO as a byproduct. Mainly because accessible sites are easy for machines to parse.

In my experience as a published academic author all the LLM will make up all kinds of plausible papers I “wrote” that don’t exist, academic positions I’ve never held, and the like.…

Just focus on accessibility and standards.

Very small team, only still exists because they are a rounding error to the CFO on the balance sheet, but otherwise they could go at any time. Oddly their biggest strength is being…

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how an LLM trained in really high quality code would perform. I’m far from impressed with the output of GPT/Claude, all they’ve done is weight…

It’s a major security/privacy issue, you don’t want to tell world+dog all registered users, especially since that’s typically an email address. Huge, huge, massive “no no”. Likewis…

There are roughly 5 billion smartphone users now, those devices are almost always on and sending background data somewhere. By volume, more of that data guess to Google than anybod…

At 2k headcount they aren’t a bespoke vendor for sure, but the big tech CEOs can put that many people in a project at a whim, which is kinda scary to think about.

Agree, but some part of me feels uneasy with the idea that Big Tech can, and will, take any product somebody has put blood, sweat, and tears into, copy it, and give it away for fre…

I think it’s a bit worrisome that Microsoft can give away VS Code for free because they subsidize it in other ways, but JetBrains - a small software shop - clearly is being forced …
