#172And it’s down.
Not a good look.

#173Is there a schedule for the talks? I'd like to catch a few, but I didn't see anything on the site.

#174I know I'm going against the grain here, but I'm actually looking forward to the event and plan to watch it :)
Me too, plus what's coming with their new phones and most importantly, how they are adding more and more AI into their cameras. I'm exclusively a Pixel user, so it's super important to me.
My family member works for this team. Could you share what makes you a Pixel fan? Some like customizability, open platform . Some avoid Apple lock in. What draws you to Pixel?

Worked at Google, pro Elon, anti Zuck but mainly for his failures (Metaverse), not from the far left and still think it's clear Google's last major product (major meaning category defining, like Search or Maps or Android) was 15 years ago.
Lot of Googlers are anti-big-tech, anti-corporation :)
1) If you think Transformers weren't category defining, I don't know what to say.
2) Metaverse isn't a failure. That's like saying in 2019, "Chat Agents are a failure"

Re: Google I/O 2023
#177I find it interesting the sentiment in the comments... Yesterday we had an Apple post where everyone was losing their minds all day about Final Cut Pro on iPad (which in my opinion as a Software Engineer is the most boring thing I’ve had to read all week). Today we have probably a massive lineup of a bunch of new AI features to be announced for products most of us use on the regular, or could use as devs, and 90% of…
Ceci n'est pas une pipe. The features are exciting. Google I/O, the conference with talks, is seen as less so. Notice how all the comments are about the talks. Yesterday's Apple announcement was _not_ a conference, and the comment thread was about the new app. It's not the same thing at all. Here are some snippets from top-level comments in this discussion thread. > It's all business talk > I for one benefited so muc…
What does “Ceci n'est pas une pipe” mean in this context? I ended up on https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Treachery_of_Images but I’m not sure what it means here.

HN tends to bias towards pro Apple. You would see people doing mental gymnastics trying to defend their closed anti competitive practices, disregard for standards. I would cheer a Sennheiser/Bose more than any version of Airpods, I would rather not have a multi trillion dollar company gobble up other industries through unfair advantages. Seeing a hacker crowd do this is just beyond bizzare.

How do you have time in the day for anything other than wild assumptions about strangers?
Re: Google I/O 2023
#179I went to Google IO in 2014 and it was very exciting as a young engineer.
Google Glass, Google Cardboard, Modular Smartphone, 3D space scanning tablet, Android Wear, and Android Auto were all announced there.
Now it seems Android Wear never really took off and Android Auto is the only product that made it to somewhat mainstream.
I'm not seeing much exciting experimental projects from Google anymore but maybe I'm just older and not easily excited.

Transformers??? GCS is a very solid alternative to AWS and leagues ahead of azure.
