I remember in 2023 jpeg xl was dropped from Chrome for reasons I assumed at the time to be political

This had a cascading effect, where we immediately (within hours) dropped support for jpegxl on Pixel Camera and various other Google products

this is needlessly pedantic

first, they are certainly not instructions so that is a much worse name

but more importantly, we use words in new contexts all the time. Do you object to calling the computer device "mouse" because it's not a mouse? how about "neural network"? "ignition" on an electric vehicle?

"cot" is no more misleading than thousands of words you use every day.

"got caught"

to clarify, this behavior was announced with the model release

For your math to make sense, Google would have to sell its stake this year

There may be more to it than buying compute but what you're saying does not make sense for Google. More likely Google wants a good relationship with SpaceX and possibly to buoy the stock, but it's a bad NPV trade

dangerous thing to believe IMO The models will get better, you will notice, everyone will notice. They will get better at coding and everything else. You should plan around that.

CSS is badly designed and uses a confusing, separate DSL with arbitrary rules designed before the Internet was widely used, before web apps existed, before smartphones etc

It's trash and throwing it out is good. Not learning it is good. Tailwind is a solution to a real problem.

More importantly, AI is good at it already and it's unlikely humans will need to understand HTML/CSS at all within a year or two. There's no reason to spend time learning how the gears work, just put the cover back on

Don't bet on the sigmoid flattening out any time soon. I don't know when it will flatten, but it definitely won't be within the next 2 years

This will probably happen but I wouldn't plan on it happening soon

What are you talking about, in what way is this supposed to be an argument about ads? It sounds like your dryer broke

It's not a good reason to be skeptical about cars as a technology (and by analogy brain computer interfaces)

I've never seen an ad delivered through any of these things. On smartphones I mean the phone/OS itself

It would be very easy to deliver ads via electricity. The utility could require you watch an ad before using more
