Can confirm. We at Roblox open sourced a new frontier game eval today, and it's beating even Gemini 3 Pro! ( Previous best model ).

I tried Neeva, and the quality of results was just not there. Would have been happy to pay.

"It is one thing to build a search engine, and an entirely different thing to convince regular users of the need to switch to a better choice."

This line in post doesn't seem intellectually honest about why I think Neeva failed: it was never a 10X better experience. e.g. ChatGPT isn't complaining about acquiring users.

I believe Google when they say competition is just one click away. A bunch of things I would have asked Google now go to ChatGPT.

- You can develop a very deep understanding of a sequence by observing how each element interacts with each other over many sequences.

- This understanding can be encapsulated in "compressed" low dimensional vector representation of a sequences.

- You can use this understanding for many different downstream tasks, especially predicting the next item in a sequence.

- This approach scales really well with lots of GPUs and data and is super applicable to generating text.

The quality delta is so huge that it's in a different league.

Replit's model seems to have focused on being cheap to train and run. StarCoder seems to be vastly better on quality.

In other words, a shallow big == bad without taking specfic context into consideration?

Imo I want competition and choice as a consumer. This basically sets things up so that consoles become a non competitive market because Xbox lacks exclusives that Sony has.

About emails:

No for ads.

Yes for training models for Smart Reply, from: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1606.04870.pdf

Privacy Note that all email data (raw data, preprocessed data and training data) was encrypted. Engineers could only inspect aggregated statistics on anonymized sentences that occurred across many users and did not identify any user. Also, only frequent words are retained. As a result, verifying model’s quality and debugging is more complex.

I think the article should more accurately be titled as how to do a small scale feature tuck in / acquihir-ish soft landing.

I had a similar experience with an Adwords account getting banned for "Circumventing systems", and we were completely confused as to why we got the rejection.

And then the appeals process after that was just like yours: copy pasta email without any explanation about how to fix the problem.

A past project used OR Tools. I generally liked it. It was a bit confusing at times and the documentation was a bit cryptic for using some of the advanced features, though the community was good about answering questions.

In general, I would recoment OR Tools.

The post is about Spotify, not Shopify.

The real problem is that the LatestInML subreddit is effectively an ad for the extension.

Solution: don't subscribe to that Subreddit.

How do you get a notification for what picture was viewed? I don't see any Google account setting for that.

That kind of makes me doubt this report, at the very least part of it.

It was started by Inbox.

This is by design: the project came out of Inbox.

The thinking was that having portable widgets was not a good thing and for the highest quality app you still want native UI, while having portable "model" [ as in model in model view controller ] code.

Flutter was developed by a different team, and has a different philosophy about this - and in part this is driven by solving for a different goal. For super sophisticated complex apps with large teams, native is still the way to go. If you look at all of Google's own major apps, they are all native.

A different take: read unit tests for the standard library.

That shows you call sequences in context, rather than just getting lost in the code.

TLDR of the top two point: "get accepted to YC and use cloud credits." and use dedicated servers from Cirrascale.

Saved you a click.

You don't buy a Mac (M1 or otherwise) to live an adventurous life. You get it because it has really well executed take on an opinionated computing platform that just works for normal people.

Get a job in the field. Some places might be willing to take a chance on you if you are a good generalist engineer.

Also, make the case that many things that you learn while doing frontend programming like asynchronous programming are skills that will port over just fine.

This is one reason I have been a big fan of Google Cloud Storage over AWS S3: at a past company AWS consistency was a huge pain, and GCS has had this for years.

What is the bait and switch ? The stuff you uploaded already is still free. It's for more usage.

You don't like it, you have the option to take your photos somewhere else.

It also means they will hopefully clamp down on worse monetization features like sending you notifications to go buy a photo book.

Charge me for it and then just focus on making the best product.

I like this change a lot.

The problem with this codebase is it's not modern C++.

Modern C++ and it's use of std::unique_ptr / std::move is so much nicer vs. manual memory allocation.

I suggest looking at some of Google's open sourced projects.

- Abseil: https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp https://cs.opensource.google/abseil

- Tensorflow: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/tree/master/tensorf... https://cs.opensource.google/tensorflow

- Chrome https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/refs/he... https://source.chromium.org/chromium

There is a very high bar for C++ code quality at Google, and also a published style / best practices guide as well as a code search engine to browse the code more easily.

Hacker News: Nvidia is evil because they don't have an open source driver !

Also Hacker News: AMD is evil because they increase the size of the kernel by 10%.

Honestly, I think Nvidia made the right call by just focused on ordinary users who just want the card to work and can just focus on their work.

90% of this could be summarized as freemium has made software worse.

But I don't think I like any solutions which involves giving Apple more power to disintermediate developers from users even more.

I consider limiting the kinds of apps that developers can build a free speech issue.

I think making an "Editors Choice Lite" label would help. I.e. that apps can sign up for an optional extra level of vetting to indicate they are free of some of the monetization dark patterns listed in this post.

The difference is the cut that Epic takes is much less than 30% - he is walking the walk rather than just talking about it.

Would you be okay with if a web based company, say Google:

1) Delisted you if you didn't support their payment option. 2) Blocked any content that tried to criticize it. 3) Forced you to support their login as an option, and also didn't place it as the first option on the list.

Then why are we okay with someone trying to do this for the mobile internet?

Apple treats apps like they own the phone. My own mental model is it's my phone, and apps are an extension of the mobile internet.

Fully agree with this sentiment - if there is anything which becomes so common place like say a road, then I think there should be some kind of oversight.

Apple saying no to people being able to bring their own payment provider feels akin to saying the road provider only allows cars they vet, and then charge 30% car manufacturers 30% of the price of the car.

I don't get the whole objection to mutiple app stores.

Instead of clicking icon A, I click icon B and if I get a cheaper game, all power to Epic.

I don't spend time in an app store. I spend time playing the game.

I don't get how companies can blame Google for loss of traffic. Google is going to do what it thinks will produce the best results.

And if you somehow think that gives you a right to show up in those results or be there if you benefited from showing up in results in the past, that's flawed thinking.
