Isn't this too expensive compared to something like an air gradient which costs 140$ when you assemble it yourself? (AirGradient is also missing from the comparison table)

New article: Google is being sued for listening in on Home Depot customer support calls to train their systems. [1] They had Home Depot's permission, but not the customers'. That's "wiretapping" in some states.
> Well currently Waymo is about double the price of Uber.
This is not accurate in my experience in SF. Most of the time, the price is comparable to UberX and during peak-times, the price is upto 20% higher than UberX.
I spent a week there very recently (like 3 weeks ago) and checked the prices a lot. It was always around 50%-100% higher than Uber. It was never even close to 20% higher.
I took a couple of trips for the novelty value (as someone else mentioned, it's by far the best tourist attraction in SF at the moment!). The experience was really great - very relaxing - but there's no way I'd use it if I just wanted transport. I can see women paying a premium for it out of fear of taxi drivers, but that's not really an issue for me. I would maybe pay a small premium to avoid awkward lack of conversation, and the bad driving of typical taxi drivers, but not 50%!
This is like saying Apple and Alphabet are the same. SAP is a 52 year old company and is the largest non-American software company in revenue, and has never been part of Salesforce: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAP
From the Earth to the Moon is a brilliant TV series that shows it all really well.
I love the episode where they sit down and list out the ~10 things they'll have to figure out how to do in order to achieve Kennedy's promise of landing within the decade.
Then they just assign teams and get on it, working on each item until they can actually do it.
I really enjoyed Sunburst and Luminary by Eyles, from the perspective of one of the young students who stumbled into the space programme and ended up writing a lot of the code for the LM.
I also found Go, Flight! enjoyable. It is about the recruitment and culture of the young flight controllers ("ground control") who figured out as they went how to direct and orchestrate missions in space.
Both are from a specific set of people's perspectives rather than an attempt to summarise. With some care on what one accepts as truth I think that's the more intriguing way to follow the program.
Google is somehow truly awful at this. I thought it was funny when branding messes happened in 2017. I cried when they announced "Google Meet (original)." Now I don't even know what to do.
I'm stunned that Google hasn't appointed some "name veto person" that can just say "no, you aren't allowed to have three different things called 'Gemini Advanced', 'Gemini Pro', and 'Gemini Ultra.'" Like surely it just takes Sundar saying "this is the stupidest fucking thing I've ever seen" to some SVP to fix this.
The only thing that's different is the standard people apply to different companies due to their biases. There are more Apple fanboys on HN than Google fans (Of course, since Google's reputation has been going down for quite a while). Therefore Apple gets a pass. Classic double standard.
It’s different because Apple didn’t release the M1 Ultra at the same time as the M2 Pro. That would be confusing to buyers because it wouldn’t be immediately obvious which one is the better purchase, both being new offerings presented to customers at the same time.
It’s understandable that later generations are better and higher tiers are also better, but usually there is some period of time in between generations to help differentiate them. Here we have Google advancing capability on two axes at the same time.
I give them a pass as this field is advancing rapidly. So good for them. But I think it’s a legitimate call that it adds complexity to their branding. It is different.
This is something close to CPU versioning. You have two axis; performance branding and its generation. Nano, Pro and Ultra is something similar to i3, i5 and i7. The numbered versions 1.0, 1.5, ... can be mapped to 13th gen, 14th gen, ... so on. And people usually don't need to understand the generation part this unless they're enthusiasts.
I think the bard version is most likely a hallucination. I see the bard version from the latest update as `2023.12.06` in https://bard.google.com/updates with the title "Bard is getting its biggest upgrade yet with Gemini Pro".
I am guessing this update is not available in Europe.
