love the interior, not sure how i feel about that front end however. "The lowest drag coefficient in Ferrari history" is not what i would have guessed just seeing the picture alone, so props to them on making this possible!

In the US (to start) there's now a flavor of Gemini 2.5 to power Search experiences like AI Mode and AI Overviews. Should be sufficiently good at this point.

Dumb question, but how do they know it's not an escaped (or abandoned) pet? There are sadly many exotic pets on display on social media, particularly in this area of the world.

What about just plain old query() SQL i usually find the easiest vs. mucking around with pivot tables.

His work is always a good reminder the open web is still an amazing place!

requiring a telephone contact (SMS verification or code from robocall) would provide enough sufficiency in scaring the perps to probably solve 90%+ of these.

It seems pretty clear that's what you get when you use the campaign? https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answ...

"After you make an app or game available for pre-registration, users can visit your store listing to learn about and pre-register for your new app or game.

Then, when you publish your app or game later, all pre-registered users will receive a push notification from Google Play to install it.

Eligible devices will also have the app or game auto installed on the day it launches. (more details on this in documentation)

The challenge with that approach is the variation in both (a) queries and (b) other players. (a) There are a small % of queries that are knowable for you to target on exact, or you are required to update and prune infinitely over time. [https://twitter.com/Google/status/1493681643290300425?lang=e...]. (b) A mix is better than a fixed CPA at a set price, up to to the player to pick the acceptable range. At a fixed price and many players competing for the same 100 10$ conversions, the price would quickly rise for those same conversions anyways. You're replicating the work the computer is doing, but doing so with the illusion of control.

My partner made a lot of spelling mistakes, instant human tell :)

Would respectfully disagree. Matching a consumers query to an ad, and optimizing that outcome at a given return on investment threshold is a task best left to a computer to optimize. It is a perfect use case for reinforcement learning, and a computer can work 24 hours a day and you need to sleep. In my experience, 100/100 times the machine beats the confident manual optimizer. We (humans) don't have a great track record in beating computers at these kinds of problems, certainly not a game as simple as optimizing for a high score (driving results from an ad).

yes but "{person name} memo" is not the same as "Google Memo" (published and endorsed by the company)

I would agree with this, SWE is actually the easier role to replace with AI given the literal binary nature of the work. Dealing with humans is much more complicated, given they do not directly follow logic.

Doesn't work very well - asked for dramas shot in Hawaii and got a bunch of good comedies

Why would any business set up shop in these conditions. Remote or not, plenty of safer & cleaner spots in America to do business.

+1..get a yubikey or similar device, problem solved.

this. the incentives are bound by the underlying tech.

good one :)

blog post Jan 27 mentions how they're prepping iOS apps: https://www.blog.google/products/ads-commerce/preparing-deve...

This including no results from Pinterest is a great combo

exactly the void Shopify fills

I know the community is generally very negative/skeptic on this (at least based on the 21 comments so far below), but this is an amazing technical & business accomplishment. Congratulations!

The blog post is relatively clear that ramp up will take a few weeks - "we’ll start with those who are already a part of Waymo One and, over the next several weeks, welcome more people directly into the service through our app"

↑ this.

Just curious - how do you know it's lifted from Wikipedia vs. the other way around? It's quite hard to trace the sources.

E.g. did a quick search for Jerry Seinfeld, CNW is a lot more robust than Wikipedia (or the inc. magazine article it cites)

The reality is that it did. Do you distinctly forget having to go to a library to do research for a book report? Only getting the slice of news offered locally?

The internet is amazing!

Easy to forget when we're wired for extraordinary to feel ordinary in time.

It sounds like you are operating a cloud.....

The SEC does decide.... https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-sec-wants-to-know-why-...

Query "best pizza place"

Result "Hardcore teen sex"

Why is this trending?

Nothing more to add but just wanted to say well said.

"Full stack adaptive delivery" - wut ?

Wouldn't surprise me if bounce rates are high. Took quite a bit of reading to figure out what industries and use cases are

agree..OP does a poorly formed search query and complains. try "reddit best phone to buy 2020" you're welcome!
