Google Translate uses Gemini now. You can switch between advanced (AI) and classic modes.

For over 10 years that I maintain a reasonably popular cross-browser extension, I've been collecting various monetization offers. They simply don't stop coming: https://github.com/extesy/hoverzoom/discussions/670

Synthetic data. Like AlphaZero playing randomized games against itself, a future coding LLM would come up with new projects, or feature requests for existing projects, or common maintenance tasks for itself to execute. Its value function might include ease of maintainability, and it could run e2e project simulations to make sure it actually works.

Not necessarily. Roblox does not directly receive money from users - nobody sends them a paper check or bank wire from Russia. Technically they get money from payment providers, who are supposedly compliant with all sanctions. I'm pretty sure that any provider that can support Roblox scale is big enough to worry about risks of being non-compliant.

That depends on what you mean by "operating". This very website, Hacker News, is not blocked in Russia - does that mean Y Combinator is "operating" there?

Inflation-adjusted INTC [1] is the same as it was in 1997, including dividends! Shareholders have no real return from INTC for almost 3 decades.

You mean something like Humane AI Pin? I'm fairly sure they are aware of it and would come up with something better.

Bugs will escalate from syntax errors to business logic errors ("one customer was charged twice"). There won't be anything to copy/paste, no AI will be able to fix these errors and no human will touch this codebase with a long pole.

TSMC is neither software nor fabless. I'm not sure we are talking about the same company, there seems to be some disconnect here. For hardware business 30% margins are high, Apple is one of the most famous exceptions.

TSMC margins are over 30% and growing [1] - that's very far from "low".
