Wait, what? They're *making* money now? Last I heard they were still playing shell games with pretend money in a financial merry-go-round of pinky swear deals to make it seem like they are somehow not haemorrhaging quite so many hundreds of billions of dollars as they actually are to try and keep the VC funding flowing in.

The AI endgame, sure. That's totally going to be the kind of bait and switch that Google pulled when they transitioned from a search provider into an ad provider; get everyone hooked on your services, then monetise all the data you've captured and start cranking up the token fees until your customers (only they are actually more your "product" now) squeal, then turn it up some more while offering a rent-seeking subscription model that looks like a good deal until you realise (too late) what they've buried in the small print.

Drug pushers are probably looking at the tech industry in awe at this point.

The way the tech works is the camera in the glasses itself is looking for the extra light coming from the LED, which is of a very specific frequency. If the light is not picked up by the camera within the first second of video, then the glasses are disabled. In this way, you can't disable the light, or cover it with tape, or drill it, or anything else - because if the camera can not see it, then the glasses shut off

Previous planetary probes have done figure-8s around the Earth & Moon to build up velocity before heading off for their target planets, so you could possibly do something similar with this to shorten the transit time; a few laps to provide initial acceleration to escape velocity, then coast to Mars using the panels to keep any systems ticking over and batteries topped off. Mars orbital insertion might need a little thought as to how to manage deceleration, or a secondary means of braking propulsion, if you can't do that using Mars' gravity alone though.

There are at least a few teams out there doing just that. In this case, finding software bugs, get one LLM to look for potential bugs, and use a second independent LLM to try and validate the potential exploits it finds / develop a PoC. Depending on what you are doing and how critical/sensitive the code is, you could also add more independent LLMs in each group to provide additional layers assurance before any output is passed over for human review.

There's also supposed to be a training loop with LLMs, so you should be flagging any false positives and feeding those back into your model so that the quality of findings improves. The current versions of Mythos/Fable might not be perfect, and probably never will be, but with a few more iterations Anthropic should be able to decrease the FP rate considerably, and ultimately that's going to be a big win for everyone with an interest in bug & exploit free code.

When you post idiot comments like that when it is clear you never even watched the ad in the post, you look like a tool

You didn't even watch the ad, and that is self evident.

99% of the ad is just panning around between Google tools and making jokes.

You are ranting and raving about nothing.

I was thinking something more malicious, like:

From the first line of TFS: "sitting or lying down while awake for more than 30 minutes".

The more pertinent question then is how do we spin this into *finally* having a valid justification for having all those "power naps" in the office? :)

It started as a very easy to use wiki, for internal knowledge at a company. It still is good for that use case.

But they tried to bolt on everything else under the sun to it, and it now tries to compete with Trello, Asana, Monday, JIRA, and everything else... and now apparently GMail as well.

The more a company tries to do in Notion ("because we already have it"), the more messy and unusable of a mess it becomes.

All of the software on all of these devices comes from random anonymous people from all over the world.

All of the software on everyone's phone and PC and server is based on open source coming from all over the world.

The rule is there for economic protectionism.

That is the reality.

I have zero interest in getting looped into Meta's sub-standard AI and relying on it for stuff when the rest of my ecosystem is all wired into Gemini and Claude.

When will a glasses maker launch with OPEN SUPPORT for what AI assistant you want to use with it? Why does it need to be tied to a specific vendor?

AVERAGE temperature matters.

The gulf stream is a moderator. It keeps Britian and eastern Europe warmer in the winter than it deserves to be, but in the summer, has little effect.

What we are seeing now is a heat dome over the summer. IE, the AVERAGE ANNUAL temperature of Europe is going up, not the daily temperature.

If and when the gulf stream shuts down what will happen is Britian and western Europe will freeze in the winter.. in fact it may start to become covered in ice. Go look at any globe and look at where Britian exists compared to Russia and Canada, it is further north than Labrador. For all rights, it should be fozen in ice all winter. The reason it is mild, is because of the gulf stream.

Espresso is a base for other coffee drinks, hot and cold. Putting a shot of room temperature espresso from a dispenser into one of those is going to save quite a bit of both time and money at the scale of something like a Starbucks franchise, and if you're getting your coffee from that kind of chain you're either not going to notice any difference anyway - or deny ever being there in the case of the coffee snobs. No more scooping grounds, prepping the machine, and forcing hot water through the grounds into the cup; the barista just shoves the cup under an optic, pushes a button, then moves onto the next step.

The real savings though are going to come for the manufacturers of those pre-bottled coffee drinks you find in the chillers at supermarkets; that's the kind of scale TFS is alluding to; where the coffee is brewed in industrial sized vats. Especially so if the concentrate approach is viable; add one 10L (or whatever) carton to your vat, then dilute with whatever milk/fake-milk/water/flavouring combinations needed to assemble your pre-bottled coffee-based drink. Coffee snobs are not admitting to buying those either. Also, as a side-benefit, there will be less waste as the grounds will be processed centrally so can be collected and fed into a suitable secondary product - they're excellent for providing fertiliser for some plants, for instance.

All of which probably saves you enough power and money (globally) to run a single AI data centre for a few minutes, but such is the price of progress I guess. :)
