PS5 prices went up 35% in the past 2 years, and PC RAM went 5x. This is a global problem

They killed greader and RSS to push Google+, which was a brilliant decision.

Why are models better than agents, isn't it supposed to be the opposite? I don't understand the difference and what you are measuring.

Turtles with law degrees don't exist, but LLMs that increase tech debt in code bases do. Maybe recent ones got better, and it's useful to quantify the progress being made.

It's not an invention it's a question. If the number is <20% that's great news for the Chrome team.

The single 13yo issue is anecdata. They obviously have the full git blame statistics but chose not to include them in the blog post, which is a bit concerning.

Elephant in the room : how many of these bugs were written by LLMs in the first place ? Because creating 100x more bugs and fixing 100x more isn't something to be proud of.

I have information that Anthropic distilled the internet for Fable

LLM reception is truly extreme, even worse than AAA game releases. Ever frontier lab lived it at least once : missing the frontier by a few months triggers extremly negative reacti…

They complied by building a blocking system, instead of just disabling cookies with a flag, which would have taken exactly the same effort.

Why is this site blocked in the EU ? Was disabling cookies on your static page that hard ?

All Gemma models were <30B so far, Google doesn't want to cannibalize its Gemini line too much

IANAL, but is it illegal to have a "Buy" button that is just a disguised "Rent" button? If not, should we change the law?

Funny idea but wow the gameplay is terrible and full of bugs. Bad hitboxes, shells that bounce in front of holes, bad physics. AI still cannot oneshot 2D platformers, the most docu…

100% agree. You could make the same argument for Hollywood : funding & revenue was always the goal, and we've been producing slop before AI was even a thing

The US built mass surveillance by bypassing congress, at least in the EU we do it democratically /s

The regulations are not meant to be productive, they are meant to reduce negative externalities. It's like minimizing the cop-to-criminal ratio. Sure it would save money, but would…

Maybe the current administration underestimates the impact of public research, and thinks Silicon Valley appeared out of nowhere.

The US is accidentally conducting Operation Paperclip but in reverse. Who will benefit the most from it, China or Europe ?

Why ?

What is our definition of progress ? We were progressing against world hunger but we decided to shut down efforts against it last year. Is it progress to invest $1T into semi-accur…

Is AGI really inevitable ? Claiming something is inevitable is a great way to disarm critical thinking.

Why post a Google docs copy of the original article? https://www.mayrhofer.eu.org/post/leaving-google/

I switched banks and made sure it doesn't require Android/iOS. Many banks propose FIDO2 + SMS, even bank of america does.
