Improved reliability is, ironically a major cause of this problem.

Buyers of brand new cars in the USA keep them for fewer than ten years on average. If most cars can go ten years without needing major repairs, the car manufacturer's actual customer is not strongly motivated to consider repairability in buying decisions. The second or third owner likely cares a lot, but their preferences don't matter very much to manufacturers.

It seems obvious to me that there's a huge gap between a search result, which is a link and an excerpt where the operator of the linked site is clearly responsible for the content, and an AI overview, which mixes information from multiple sources with generated nonsense.

Google should absolutely be liable if it generates overviews containing defamatory lies.

You're absolutely right!

Sorry, couldn't help myself. Good metrics are hard, but token leaderboards are obviously terrible metrics that will lead to bad business outcomes unless propped up by investor hype. Of course investor hype is a real factor, and it's often driven by guesses about what other investors will do rather than real business outcomes.

They weren't going to let people have it that cheap for very long. The plan was to offer it on subscription plans for a couple weeks, then move to usage-based billing, which is much more expensive for a usage pattern that comes anywhere near the subscription limits.

Keeping a single instance of Fable busy for a full day would probably cost a thousand dollars at standard API rates, and some agentic coding workflows run many agents in parallel. Companies have just recently started to figure out that rewarding employees for how many tokens they use may be a waste of money, but Anthropic is hoping to cash in before they all do.

If it's true that young software developers are mostly not productive, then employing them hasn't made sense for decades because staying at the same company for most of one's career stopped being the default some time around 1980.

I kinda think that if MS tried Palladium today, they could succeed.

Windows does have most of the features of Palladium today, but it's impact is modest because native desktop applications for consumers don't have the importance they once did. The main place people encounter it is game anticheat.

A combination of secure boot, DRM, and remote attestation Microsoft proposed adding to Windows in the early 2000s. It was such an obvious corporate power grab that it got critical coverage from the New York Times.

Things like Google SafetyNet have been equally obvious corporate power grabs, but barely got negative coverage from the tech press, much less the mainstream media.

That's all kinds of fucked. Anybody who saw Microsoft Palladium and thought it was a good idea shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a computer.

Subaru XT (Alcyone or Vortex in some markets).

I owned one of these. The aerodynamics were great for a 1980s car. It even had purely mechanical flush door handles, which modern car designers could learn from.
