They removed the docs and support for it https://github.com/googleapis/python-genai/commit/af3b339a9d... . You can see the thoughts in AI Studio UI as per https://ai.google.dev/gem…

Depending how you count, parent comment is accurate. Hardware doesn't just appear. 4 years of planning and R&D for the first generation chip is probably right.

Could some disgruntled employee offer proof of seeding and collect a whistleblower reward?

I wonder if this also applies to people that live urban environments that don't drive and have to navigate walking or using the subway. From my anecdotal evidence, it does seem tha…

There is a lot of snark here. My non-cynical take is that they are aping the practices of top AI labs. OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Anthropic, and many other AI startup darlings have a…

Yes, but the ability to identify prodigies and give them the resources to realize their full potential is part of an education system, too. I don't know the full details of the IMO…

At the very top, the US excels at math. We consistently place at the top or near the top in the IMO for instance ( https://maa.org/news/usa-first-at-imo/ ). Yes the team is largely…

Initial versions were one-click. The attack became more sophisticated and became zero-click. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_(spyware)#Development_... for timeline. See h…

It used to be possible to break into iPhones by sending just a text message without the target clicking on anything. The only thing that kept this under control was there was an ag…

https://developers.googleblog.com/en/tensorflow-lite-is-now-... tries. https://github.com/google/aqt is more explicit and preferable IMO. Neither are as user-friendly as what Torch…

As an American with Southeast Asian immigrant parents, they will live in a way that most Americans would find intolerable. Whole families in a 1 bedroom, very long commutes, taking…

This is just (neurotypical?) human programming to be considerate of others. The driver feels this, too. I'd assume that the CEO of Uber Dara can manage his emotions and boundaries,…

The blog post ( https://ai.meta.com/blog/segment-anything-2/ ) mentions tracking as a use case. Similar objects is known to be challenging and they mention it in the Limitations se…

Really cool. Doesn't really work for juggling unfortunately, https://sam2.metademolab.com/shared/fa993f12-b9ce-4f19-bb75-...

Awesome work environment for one person can be not ideal for another. Pretty much all the top AI labs are both intensely competitive and collaborative. They consist of many former …

You can break your sequence into two parts. One part goes through the encoder and the other goes through the decoder, so each token only goes through one transformer stack.

It's not too uncommon. I started off working with Angular and Java. But I studied math. It depends on what type of role you want. If you'd be happy building the application layer a…

Mostly true in my network with the exception of people working on LLMs. They are motivated by nearly religious fervor that AGI is right around the corner. But I expect that to die …

We support Google Pay and Apple Pay now, https://support.google.com/waymo/answer/14160746?hl=en .

Instagram shows posts from Threads in the feed. I accidentally click on these all the time.

I don't think money is entirely the reason that doctors don't serve underserved populations. Many states with underserved populations like Missouri already pay more due to supply s…

In ML/AI space, at least some people thing analog computing is the next big thing, https://www.forbes.com/sites/karlfreund/2021/09/23/ibm-resea... . It hasn't taken off, yet, thoug…

Maybe it feels that way in the Bay area because the only companies are tech companies? In NYC, it seems that tech is the only industry that allows remote work. Finance in particula…

Aim for big tech companies. They regularly hire engineers that can pass coding challenges but otherwise have no experience or CS degree. I was hired at Google this way and many of …
