Nooooo I'm going to have to use my brain again and write 100% of my code like a caveman from December 2024.

Another one that belongs on this list: AI-generated photos in housing listings. You can no longer tell what the property actually looks like, and the images conveniently erase the problem spots you'd only catch in person. False advertising is getting completely out of hand.

A small but notable change: Apple now appears to require university verification through UNiDAYS for EDU pricing.
Previously, at least in the U.S., you could just use the education store and get the discount without much (if any at all) verification.

Some context for people who haven’t followed the full loop: Shazeer was a long-time Google researcher, joined Google in 2000, and was one of the co-authors of “Attention Is All You Need.”
He left Google in 2021 to co-found Character.AI. In 2024, Google brought him and some Character.AI researchers back via a licensing/talent deal with Character.AI (reportedly around $2.7B). He was then made a Gemini co-lead.
Now he’s leaving Google again for OpenAI.
Exciting times!

Congratulations on the release to the DeepSeek team. An interesting note on the use of CSA and HCA: CSA provides higher-resolution, query-selected memory over 4-token compressed blocks, while HCA provides very low-resolution dense global memory over 128-token blocks. That could be a plausible reason to interleave them: CSA alone risks missing information if the indexer fails, while HCA alone is too lossy for precise retrieval. Still reading through the release, as usual, always appreciate the attention to detail in the technical papers.

This is hands down one of the best visualizations I have ever come across.

The best way to phrase this would be, information seeking as a form of procrastination itself.
I first remember reading this phrasing here on HN and I've been using it for years to explain to others that what I am doing is not "work", its just a hobby.
