> The cameras cannot capture audio, she added.

This is a classic political statement. Perhaps 100% correct.

But notice how they didn't say "no audio is recorded in the room".

It applies to many other project too: cling on to the raw data as long as it isn't bogging you down too much.

We'd know about them if they existed as a company today.

Remember that what became Google was Larry's and Sergey's PhD project that no one wanted to buy.

I often find myself searching on HN, then Reddit (via google) and then good old sad google, in that order.

When Google arrived, it had the solution people were desperately waiting for. It was pretty much everything we wanted. And it even "wasn't evil!"

Now it feels like people at Google are just making sure they'll qualify for their annual bonus with total disregard to what happens to the company.

I forecast that in the next 1-3 years, we'll see another company steal the search market, just like Google it back in the day. But Google, don't worry, they'll "just be a search company".

Bing's reputation is such that they'd have to be giving out free money for people to switch.

Besides, GPT was only available on Edge. Again, reputation.

I'd say black and white. I haven't seen anything as rubbish from Manning.

I'd never buy anything from Pakt without seeing it endorsed by someone I trust.

It's a shame because there is good stuff in their catalogue, but it's littered with trash.

Pardon the vulgar words. This is just a copy paste from an Icelandic dictionary: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/p%C3%ADka

    (anatomy) a vulva, a pussy, a cunt
    (vulgar, slang) a bitch

Just because something can be counted in a fixed timeframe doesn't mean it makes sense to slap a Hz unit on it.

What's your frequency (in Hz) of sexual intimacy?
