One of two ways - subscriptions or ads. Waymo chose the former.

vibe around and find out

folks have created software by "vibe coding". It is now time to "face the music" when doing so for production grade software at scale.

at this point it may be considered as form factor that has been deprecated, despite the advantages it brings

i guess folks in azure wanted to show some solidarity with aws brethren

(couldn't resist adding it. i acknowledge this comment adds no value to the discussion)

I never really understood the concept of small teams. Managing a small team really does not provide the scale and benefit that a medium to large team does. Lost bandwidth of manager of said small team or extra salary of the same manager seem like something the company could use in other places.

But often such teams in faang come up as a by product of someone’s empire building and that is unfortunate for others involved in it.

can someone tell me what are some common use cases of such a tool? may be i'm not the intended customer base, but am curious to know what others are using it for.

i think your use of the phrase "terrifying forum" is aptly justified here. that has got to be the most unsettling subreddit i have every come across on reddit, and i have been using reddit for more than a decade at this point.

i read in an earlier thread for this on HN - "this is a classic example of data driven product decision" aka we can reduce costs by $x if we just stopped goo.gl links. Instead of actually wondering how this would impact the customers.

Also helps that they are in a culture which does not mind killing services on a whim.

yeah their efforts seem to show no care for their consumer level subscribers. all they do seems to be tiered to enterprise customers.

shout out to "A tribe called Quest" for the title (my guess)

it's a third of the price to begin with. I think readwise has a winner in reader app, but they sure do charge a premium for the same. You can get the same functionality in linkwarden or pinboard for a fraction of readwise's subscription pricing.

here is an idea, curious what others think of this:

split the entire coursework into two parts:

part 1 - students are prohibited from using AI. Have the exams be on physical papers than digital ones requiring use of laptop/computer. I know this adds burden on corrections and evaluations of these answers, but I think this provides a raw answer to someone's understanding of concepts being taught in the class.

part2 - students are allowed, and even encouraged to use LLMs. And they are evaluated based on the overall quality of the answer, keeping in mind that a non zero portion of this was generated using an LLM. Here the credit should be given to the factual correctness of the answer (and if the student is capable of verifying the LLM output).

Have the final grade be some form of weighted average of a student's scores in these 2 parts.

note: This is a raw thought that just occurred to me while reading this thread, and I have not had the chance to ruminate on it.
