This feels weird to me. Why wouldn't Google want to go all in on Gemini? Unless they feel anthropic is pretty far ahead with claude?

"They were basically all thirst traps of young women, mostly AI-generated, with generic captions." Don't mean to be rude but..might that have something to do with your search history?

I like the way you have the detailed roadmap of features for each version. It's nice for the user to feel connected to development like that.

The fact that they do this isn't very bullish for them achieving whatever they define as AGI.

It looks like for now the ban is just limited to 10 apps. There's quite a few which are arguably worse that received an exception.

That's probably aimed at reducing consumption.

New comment by Cyclone_ in "Swedish publishers file police report against Meta's Zuckerberg for fraud"

Cyclone_ — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 16:02:43 +0000

I am not familiar with the legal system in Sweden, but it seems odd that it would be a police report instead of a lawsuit.

It's not gaslighting. They were transparent enough to own their mistake. The donation isn't really the main story.

New comment by Cyclone_ in "Why I code as a CTO"

Cyclone_ — Sun, 26 Oct 2025 13:03:42 +0000

I've heard of plenty of CTOs coding at small startups, but the surprising part is he has no direct reports.

New comment by Cyclone_ in "AI data centers have an impossibly short runway to achieve profitability"

Cyclone_ — Sat, 11 Oct 2025 05:08:09 +0000

I am assuming that when they say AI they just mean LLMs and not other cases of deep learning. Even so I would agree the $20 billion seems low.

New comment by Cyclone_ in "After nine years of grinding, Replit found its market. Can it keep it?"

Cyclone_ — Sat, 11 Oct 2025 00:33:58 +0000

I've used it for creating a template for an app. It usually creates a pretty accurate app with at least a basic UI and some interactions. The biggest issue is that once you've created the template, it's pretty tough to add some more complicated features using the AI.

New comment by Cyclone_ in "Everything that's wrong with Google Search in one image"

Cyclone_ — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 02:02:44 +0000

I liked the search results a lot better when the ads were on the side. You could see a competitor if that was of interest to you, but you didn't have to scroll when you wanted to just find what would likely be a top result.

Cyclone_ — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 01:59:17 +0000

They do provide numbers you can call if you're addicted to gambling on the ads shown on ESPN. But it feels like that doesn't do very much help.

New comment by Cyclone_ in "You don't want to hire "the best engineers""

Cyclone_ — Tue, 02 Sep 2025 16:21:22 +0000

Err I don't think that's exactly true to say there's no such thing as the best engineers. There's very few who would be capable of solving problems that someone like a Jeff Dean is able to do. Realistically though, not every company needs to solve problems of the difficulty that Google has.

New comment by Cyclone_ in "We should have the ability to run any code we want on hardware we own"

Cyclone_ — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 03:26:22 +0000

The first thing that came to mind when I heard hardware we own was vehicles like a Rivian where they do run a lot of software. I can understand why they'd not want people to run software in order to avoid bad press. If someone writes something and things go wrong, it will look bad for the manufacturer, even if they're not at fault.

People leaving to do their own startups would be a pretty small portion of the job market, even on the SF Bay area.
