Surely part of the value is the talent, the rest comes from removing a tool like this from the open market? I wonder how much of each went into the final valuation.

This new one has python, imagine

This is not what’s anti consumer, technical specifications can be confusing, it’s cable companies selling at Best Buy “gold plated” “HD ready” “braided fiber” “other bs” that is anti consumer. If you’re thinking about usb versions, you’re far from the normal consumer

Analyst says it would require a new $35/month subscription for every iPhone user, or a new $180/month for every Netflix subscriber.

Claude Max subscriptions have gone up, but do you think every Netflix user will pay for one?..

A perfect example of why a product like Medplum exists, as opposed to completely reinventing the wheel from scratch

Very simply, if you provide a service for money you have a duty to ensure that service is safe. There’s a reason you have to sign a waiver when you jump on a trampoline, but companies are so rich the court cases have become parking tickets..

If airplanes used this logic, likely at least hundreds more would have died over the last decades. Accident rates are even going up, because of logic like yours. Yeah planes are fine most of the time, when the long tail involves safety concerns (that wouldn’t have otherwise happened) making money on people using your product becomes unethical without mutually agreed upon safety regulation, ideally motivated by voters instead of special interest groups

Because if you didn’t already know that, like an immature deprived and desperate kid, being able to easily find out is really really bad..

Plenty of lazy AI apps just throw messages into history despite the known risks of context rot and lack of compaction for long chat threads. Should a company not be held liable when something goes wrong due to lazy engineering around known concerns?

More likely the team who put a lot of work into it were unaware of the decision to kill the product, regardless of the final sunset date, until today.

Technology Connections referred to this as “algorithmic complacency”, young people don’t like Bluesky because they have to decide for themselves what content to follow instead of a default algorithm feed

It’s both?

America is a democratic republic, not a direct democracy. The only restriction is the president can’t declare war, only congress can do that.

They are pretending these strikes are “preemptive” in response to a nuclear bomb being developed, just like the “emergency” that was declared to enact the tariffs.

It’s all illegal

I agree with you for a company like Tesla, not only examples of self driving crashes but even the door handles would stop working when the power was cut, people trapped inside burning vehicles... Tesla doesn’t care

Meanwhile, Waymo has never been at fault for a collision afaik. You are more likely to be hurt by an at fault uber driver than a Waymo

I once asked one of the original YouTube infra engineers “will you ever need to delete the long tail of videos no one watches”

They said it didn’t matter, because the sheer volume of new data flowing in growing so fast made the old data just a drop in the bucket

Careful what you wish for, local cops have already abused cameras and license plate readers to arrest people just for driving by the location and looking similar to doorbell video, over package theft...

This is called context rot

they are not an unbiased news source, they profit from being biased toward what elites with money for a subscription want to hear

Now imagine how big the builds are for Instagram's server side doomscrollable feed algorithm, given their inverse incentives to this project.

The primary differentiator for me is that bsky does not have a central algorithm, you only see content from people you follow or explicitly go looking for. Yes the "top today" overall feed is very left biased, but the default is an empty feed that you have to populate yourself.

You can't complain about content on bluesky because unlike every other platform you must choose which feeds you use.

Something like Postgres embedding search works out of the box, but don’t forget any search engine today also needs reranking

My concern is if the employee is aware, at least let me quit before I’m silently opted into my boss realizing I can get the same work done with less time at the desk from home

This feels like a much better feature than “they can track your realtime location from the mobile app” as implied in the article? Plus employees will have to opt in?

The tracking is still gross, but limited to opt-in on office WiFi seems a lot less dramatic of a headline, especially given the main concern people have is work from home

I can’t remember being more enraged than when I learned my YouTube premium was more expensive per month than it needed to be because I had signed up on iPhone, so many people wasting money every month, and YouTube isn’t allowed to mention the option to pay on web

If they weren’t a public company, you’d think they were the mob. I’ll never trust the Apple ecosystem ever again

I called the non-emergency line for the local police department when someone went home with my wallet after I left it on a plane, tracked with an AirTag. 2 hours later an officer said they didn't have probable cause but could knock on the door and ask anyway. I think he basically offered for there to be no trouble if they gave it back, thief claimed they were "going to return it to lost and found", and sure enough I was able to go show my passport at the station and collect it the next day.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (recently game of the year) got caught leaving a small amount of placeholder AI content in their game and everyone lost their mind

I’m sure reasonable artists agree with you, but many today do not

Meant the first and people should do the second, Chernobyl on HBO is great.

It’s also technically not a documentary but historical drama.

Queue Chernobyl documentary clip measuring the radiation as low because that’s as high the meter went

Most paper straws use PFAS, meaning we’re actively composting PFAS in a fantasy effort to feel good about our waste without actually giving anything up

GitHub plays GitHub?

California also requires data brokers to register with the state, creating the (intended) possibility of removing your info fully from all brokers all at once
