My only turn off is the lack of a tele-camera: I love the 4x (104mm eq.) on my Pixel 6 Pro and I don’t think I can live without it.

My reaction when I read this article

Also this interviewee sums it up quite perfectly:

“If I know from looking at company reviews or the hiring process that I will be using AI interviewing, I will just not waste my time, because I feel like it’s a cost-saving exercise more than anything,” Cobb tells Fortune. “It makes me feel like they don’t value my learning and development. It makes me question the culture of the company—are they going to cut jobs in the future because they’ve learned robots can already recruit people? What else will they outsource that to do?”

AI bros are trying really hard to convince people that their parrots can be useful in business settings.

Telegram are being paid by xAI to use their product? Isn’t it supposed to be the other way around?

Most probably Microsoft has set objectives for how much LoC are from LLMs and developers invented numbers to match that metric (because they probably have things more important to do than counting LoC)

Exactly, I don’t understand why so few articles covering the trial suggest Chrome going independent as an option.

I don’t know why, somehow it just feels different to me. Or maybe it’s just the state of the world that tries to dehumanize everything with “AI” that depress me.

Just the thought of sex robots depressed me even more than the state of the world already had.

Android has always been developed in a closed-source manner by Google engineers, the recent changes only reduces the visibility of ongoing changes and the ability of developers outside of OEMs to contribute to Android (such contributions were already rare).

This is explained further in this article:

While some OS components, such as Android’s Bluetooth stack, are developed publicly in the AOSP branch, most components, including the core Android OS framework, are developed privately within Google’s internal branch. Google confirmed to Android Authority that it will soon shift all Android OS development to its internal branch, a change intended to streamline its development process.

Do it! Do it! Do it!

The millions of years I was referring to was the Mammoth project the same company plans to revive has well

Can’t believe Jurassic Park is no longer a fiction.

In all seriousness, I don’t understand why anyone would want to reintroduce species that were extinct for millions of years (with no regards to existing ecosystems it seems), nor how such a company is able to fund this endeavor.

I might be lucky, my Gen 1 Pebble still works (though I have not tested how long the battery lasts in use, I only know it stayed on for under a week idle).
