This is a valid take but at this moment, AI is not trying to solve this fundamental dynamic. But it can still accelerate the process by aggressive exploration of the solution space…

It's not a tooling problem. It's more of a layer of policy problems. If you realize that you cannot run a simple experimental code even in non-production environment for weeks due …

I would be more careful before assuming 5 years depreciation schedule. Currently price tags are attached to computing power, not the production cost. Computing is not getting meani…

Apple can enjoy because it controls a significant fraction of consumer computing platform so they can simply collect tax from everyone else. This is not true for the rest of big te…

There is a pretty simple yet disappointing reason. CSAM is much easier to investigate and prosecute. You got evidence, you prosecute. Almost guaranteed conviction. You can even enf…

Looks like 3.6 Flash is the first model with their newest pretraining run (cutoff date is 2026/03), long after 2.5 series.

The title is kinda misleading. The actual wording is not specific about humanoid robots but "physical AI" which encompasses every machinery that can be potentially integrated with …

Looks like a lazy translation; the president used a word "대도약" while the Chinese campaign that you're referring is translated into "대약진운동".

My personal rule of thumb: I am usually okay with agents driving e2e implementations if this won't make life noticeably worse when it does not work. Some analytical code? Perfectly…

> 99% of the server code doesn't deserve trade secret protection, Unfortunately, it is not you define whether it deserves. It's a court, ultimately SCOTUS.

This is one of the reason why that law will surely be challenged and very likely invalidated by SCOTUS. Trade secret protection is a very fundamental part and if this is forced to …

Many developers with good will actually tried that and gave up due to lots of problems. This is not just bad ROI but also a legal minefield. Engineers usually cannot argue against …

Because of high coupling dependencies between google3 projects, compiling just a single project usually pulls hundreds of thousands of different build targets.

All the developments are done in a virtual remote file system. From editing to compiling, everything is done remotely. Of course this does not fully stop people from doing manual c…

I guess it is much more frequent to maintain internal patches rather than doing all the merging work into upstream, especially the feature is non-trivial. Merging upstream consumes…

The quality of generated code does not matter. The problem is when it breaks 2 AM and you're burning thousands of dollars every minutes. You don't own the code that you don't under…

This is not very surprising. I've always thought that it's more of correlation than causation. If you're a good problem solver, then there is a good chance that you are probably go…

Yeah, meet and chat (where each has their own bloat) are now integrated into the mail app as well. This contributes a lot.

I guess if they want to eventually deprecate the 2.5 family they will need to provide a substitute. And there are huge demands for cheap models.

I just hope them to provide an option to get rid of all those predictive models and just use a static, consistent layout. At least I can blame myself if my typo is from my own mist…

This looks interesting. This project has some novelty as a research and actually delivered a promising PoC but as a product it implies that its training was severely constrained by…

Don't forget to mention automatic enrollment of your production group into access-on-demand. Any minor access on the production now requires the group manager's approval. I had a f…

Basically it all boils down to budget. Those engineers knew this is a problem and wanted to fix that but that costs some money. And you know, bean counters in the treasury are basi…

Internally, TPU is much cheaper for the same amount of compute compared to GPU, so I don't see much reasons why they need to use GPU. Probably >99% of compute budgets are spent on …
