If you liked the Nexus 7, you will love the Pixel Fold 2 (not using the other name)! It's basically a foldable N7 with phone capabilities.

Not enough CTOs are talking about how they are practically putting AI codgen and agents into their existing large teams of SWEs: tools, training, and culture. Here’s a few things we’re doing: - ripping down everyone’s egos about what can and can’t be done by whom (ai or human) -

I'm also at https://t.co/pnO4QcF0Mt The algo changes here are making it harder to stay on. It's frustrating how the tech and Infosec folks are all still posting though. Your posts are a lot less discoverable now. :/

A "close all tab groups" and "open saved tab group I'll type the name of next" keyboard shortcuts would be neat too. Is there an API for this I can wrap with an extension? cc @__apf__ @laparisa

Dear @googlechrome, we'd like to search across history, bookmarks, and open tabs using the address bar. Bonus point if you wire the LLM history search to this unified search. The at history and at tabs can stay but maybe add an all encompassing at local or at past?

Very useful tool - Calculates how much GPU memory you need and how much token/s you can get for any LLM & GPU/CPU.

NotebookLM is quite powerful and worth playing with https://t.co/wQc3HDvJFo It is a bit of a re-imagination of the UIUX of working with LLMs organized around a collection of sources you upload and then refer to with queries, seeing results alongside and with citations. But the

I'll be joining @nvidia as a Senior Director of Engineering for DGX Cloud next month! How can GPU/TPU-as-a-service offerings improve for you no matter the CSP or even on-prem?

Agreed. I'd add an insight could come with a confidence level (of how actionable it is). Optionally, they could also be associated with the proactive alert categorization proposed in the following article by @StepanDavidovic (tech reviewed back then): https://t.co/ZwpZP801K3

It’s so much of a cliché that it’s a cliché to write it down: software ate the world, but data is having it for dessert. Yet in my slice of the world, the dinner party is dealing with indigestion, not inspiration. https://t.co/lhpqvZvFl1

"I have concepts of a plan" is half of tech CEOs. You know, the ones thinking that delegating some to seasoned managers and actually having C level reviews are mutually exclusive. I'm still in agreement with PG's footnote. This is all going to be misused.

The "phones are the same YoY" trope is indeed a tired one. Should most people change phones each year? Nop. Are they the same? No, and if you think the improvements are forever meaningless, you may need to check your math. See exponential growth for example.

My point is that most "24x7 websites" with staff in a single country will only work 8 hrs/day but they do happily accrue an in system backlog. Is that always a net benefit? If yes, to whom?

I don't think this is necessarily a bad idea if it gives people more time to update systems safely. It also prevents in-system backlog growth which generates the illusion that things will move faster. It makes me wonder if it reduces burnout on both citizens and govt employees..

This is great modulo a discussion on how to prove to a customer that risks of a data leak are being mitigated (part 2?). I wish the CSPs had this more streamlined... I once had a *security* vendor trying to get all of an employer's metadata w/o any of what's in this post.
