So, these will just be dumped into schools and the already deteriorating education system will just collapse because kids won't know anything and Gemini will just be doing everything for them.

I hate AI.

I bet they were already in talks for being acquired and not open sourcing Arc was one of the conditions.

Who knows what Atlassian will do with it, but I did find it a bit frustrating that in the Atlassian blog announcing the acquisition, they showcase images of Arc when they're specifically talking about Dia. The two browsers do not have UI parity, and much of what I loved about Arc would need to be recreated in Dia.

Am I interpreting this correctly? It sounds like the lawsuit is filed on behalf of at least 6,632 employees. $28,000,000 distributed amongst that many is roughly $4,221.95. That's not even accounting for the law firm's stake. That seems like an absurdly low amount to pay to folks to say "sorry we screwed your career over".

Google can and absolutely should be paying these people more in compensation.

The marketing design approach feels very off to me. You barrage me with an annoying scrolling marquee showing me the most abstract, unrecognizable logos telling me I should trust you because they do. 10+ companies on board feels rather small.

You said AI-driven analysis to identify logs, but I'm already skeptical of AI doing tasks like this, and you obfuscate it further by not actually showing me how it works, just another generic abstract marketing design graphic.

I dunno. It just seems like vaporware-as-a-service from the design vibes.

University-taught computer science curriculum is going to have to change drastically.

Disclaimer: I am not a CS degree holder. But I did attempt a masters in software engineering and it was really eye-opening to me to see how far behind "traditional" curriculum was when compared to real-world opportunities. My university completely overlooked things like front-end web development and a host of other modern needs at the time; when I spoke to the dean, he recommended the school might just not be a fit.

So if we're leaving students behind for AI outputs and shutting the door in favor of the old guard, what happens to the new wave? Will schools train them to get to the point of working with systems enough to call bullshit on AI? Are schools even teaching students AI right now?

I ask sincerely just because when I pushed for change in curriculum, I basically was shown the door that led to me dropping out and (thankfully) landing a gig at a startup that opened up another (better) door for me.

I think that we'll need to adopt network-level filtering if we want to outsmart the browsers. I haven't looked back since adopting NextDNS and configuring my router to filter all traffic through it. It does a great job of stripping ads out of all my devices connected to it, and that's something I don't mind paying a few bucks for a year (I think it's like $19/year).

- There's still no good window manager for macOS. Rectangle is as close as it gets, but it's not good IMO because it only works on non full size windows. (the solution is just get ninja-like with three finger swipe, and endure using the mouse/trackpad more than you'd prefer)

I use Magnet and it does the job well. If you're familiar with it, I'd love to know why you don't think it's a good window manager. Or do you just mean there's not a good NATIVE window manager for the OS?

Conversely, the M3 supposedly has better multi core performance? How is that possible?

It's really helpful with MongoDB Query Language (also MQL). Document models without a rigid schema and a less intuitive API are where this stuff comes in real handy. MongoDB's GUI Compass already shipped a feature to generate queries and aggregation pipelines from natural language.
