> I walk more than twice as much when I'm in New York, compared to any other city

This is why I moved to Tokyo. Even if I want to avoid exercising I still take many steps

Who is deleting passkeys? It’s like 1 kb of data

This makes the same error, or a related one. That input is not the lawyer's internal expert process, only the intermediate or (near-) final outcome of it.

why not? datasets are not only finished works, there's datasets that go into the process they're just available in smaller quantities

Let's take the work of Raymond Carver as just one example. He would type drafts which would go through repeated iteration with a massive amount of hand-written markup, revision and excision by his editor.

To really recreate his writing style, you would need the notes he started with for himself, the drafts that never even made it to his editor, the drafts that did make to the editor, all the edits made, and the final product, all properly sequenced and encoded as data.

In theory, one could munge this data and train an LLM and it would probably get significantly better at writing terse prose where there are actually coherent, deep things going on in the underlying story (more generally, this is complicated by the fact that many authors intentionally destroy notes so their work can stand on its own--and this gives them another reason to do so). But until that's done, you're going to get LLMs replicating style without the deep cohesion that makes such writing rewarding to read.

A good point. "Famous author" is a marketing term for Grammarly here; it's easy to conceive of an "author" as being an individual that we associate with a finite set of published works, all of which contain data.

But authors have not done this work alone. Grammarly is not going to sell "get advice from the editorial team at Vintage" or "Grammarly requires your wife to type the thing out first, though"

I'll also note that no human would probably want advice from the living versions of the author themselves.

Can a human replicate style without understanding process? Yes we can. We do it all the time with Shakespeare. Why not LLMs?

I can do it at the moment with Shakespeare an LLMs.

Mimicking the style of Shakespeare does not produce anything close to work with the quality of Shakespeare.

I experienced living with a host family to transitioning to living alone in that same foreign country where I even had language barriers. I would advise you to get into cycling, it's a very social sport that you can do alone too. Otherwise something like pickleball would be good too. Sorry for keeping this comment short, I have a deadline.

to be fair it's possible Sundar is unhappy and just wants to enjoy his wealth but it's hard to say no to $200m/yr

naive question: which product and service has gotten worse?

Like they removed the youtube dislike button

what else?

Everything seems to be getting better. Tying incentives to Waymo is almost unfair because Waymo is amazing and just keeps getting better.

Text search (without Gemini) and Gmail are much worse than they used to be. Android is less open, Chrome doesn't allow proper ad-blocking, YouTube has insane ads if you don't have Premium.

27” instead of 32” is very lame

are they really two models? are they available via the API or are they wrappers built on top of models available via the API?

HN bans IPs for unusual activity too, luckily they have a human friendly way to get unbanned.
