My personal benchmark for ChatGPT Atlas and Claude for Chrome is how fast they can run through a list of 100+ Hertz CDP codes scraped from the internet, and narrow down the best offers for a mid-sized SUV rental in my destination.
Atlas has problem where it just gives up and quits after a few minutes, but Claude doesn't seem to have a time limit and will work through a batch of CDP codes successfully.
This is not my area of expertise, but it does look like that[0].
That "custom software," though, is where the magic often lies. As a software person that worked at hardware companies for most of my career, I know all too well, how disrespectful hardware people are of software. If they have a good software-respecting management chain, then it might be pretty awesome.
Comcast is $10 per TV (unless you’re cool with Roku) and the cord-cutter apps have good support on a bunch of different devices you can plug into your TV. I think Hulu still wins unless you want all of the channels.
Frontend should definitely be something along the lines of Typescript and React. Typescript's typing support is a good investment for long term UI dev productivity as the project scales.
Native desktop client could utilize the same stack via Electron.
Backend could start with Python using a popular all-in-one framework like Django to begin with, and scale towards micro-service architecture over time as components grow in complexity.
Heroku is a good all-in-one infrastructure service that takes care of dev-ops for the first year.
Techniques include blocking cookies, specific JS scripts, redirecting to a different URL, changing the user-agent to pretend to be Google's indexer, changing the referer to make it appear the user is coming from a Google search, and removing or hiding elements from the page that get in the way of reading the article.
Courts are based on facts, not popular opinions, and it's innocent until proven guilty.
If there really was patent infringement, then it would be difficult to erase all traces. Similar to the Zenimax Oculus lawsuit where computers were erased, but the verdict still came down against Oculus.
Civil case. Preponderance of evidence is enough. And the defense standing over a shredder pushing stolen documents through, paying for the shredding of a hard drive in cash months after it was supposed to be done, delaying discovery and magically disappearing a boatload of files from a company already known publicly to act scummy looks a fucking lot like a preponderance of evidence. All Waymo needs to do is tell the story the way they see it to a jury - too many dots connect up perfectly.
My guess is that the only reason this case is still going is that Uber can't come up with settlement terms (i.e. billions of dollars of cash) Waymo will accept.
Suppose a startup has a runway of 6 months and a full stack web dev who can build the backend and web frontend.
Are they going to fragment the code-base with Java to introduce a desktop client? Are they going to hire another enterprise Java dev, who most likely isn't familiar with the rest of the stack?
The rise of Electron is fundamentally driven by the cost effectiveness of the wide availability of developers and community support.
If you use it with OpenAI responses api, there’s not even any need to store input items in your own DB
