Reply to Lobbyist working for Apple and others managed to rewrite NY Right to Repair law. by SUPRVLLAN

This was one of two events that showed that Gov Hochul was no different than Cuomo. Both are Dem so of course the Republicans don't like them. But then they do some things with a conservative lean that seemed out of character for a Democratic governor.

Hochul pulled this stunt and nominated a Judge who some feel had some very conservative decisions.

Reply to comment by Latin_For_King in Blue Origin makes a big lunar announcement without any fanfare | Making complete solar cells only using materials found in lunar regolith by chetanaik

They got to the karman line and landed using a single stage rocket so they definitely have some talent The several engineers that designed the NASA DC-X delta clipper were hired by blue origin to design the new shepherd so it would be safe to say they have the expertise to pull it off

Reply to Apple Pushing to Launch Search Engine to Rival Google by DragonWarrior566

That’s good hopefully it will be good but Google should definitely have competition in that space. Apple entering into the fray would definitely give them competition knowing Apple will make it default for their systems and instantly give it a huge market share. So I welcome it for one. I just started using bing because of chatgpt and it’s surprisingly good.

Reply to comment by Agariculture in Google CEO Sundar Pichai asks employees to put two to four hours into helping to improve and 'dogfood' its Bard chatbot by tester989chromeos

Doesn’t seem like there’s a clear explanation but

> In 2006, the editor of IEEE Software recounted that in the 1970s television advertisements for Alpo dog food, Lorne Greene pointed out that he fed Alpo to his own dogs. Another possible origin he remembers is from the president of Kal Kan Pet Food, who was said to eat a can of his dog food at shareholders' meetings.

> In 1988, Microsoft manager Paul Maritz sent Brian Valentine, test manager for Microsoft LAN Manager, an email titled "Eating our own Dogfood", challenging him to increase internal usage of the company's product. From there, the usage of the term spread through the company.

Reply to Bing's First Week With AI Powers Shows Google Needn't Worry by No-Drawing-6975

I suspect both Bing and Google need to worry. There is clearly an opening for the first company that gets it right and there is no guarantee either of those companies will succeed. History has shown that disruption usually comes from smaller companies without a vested interest in the status quo. Both Bing and Google have huge investments and commitment to their current business models.

Some necessary background

> ...the contents of the Affordable Care Act had been publicly available and publicly debated for months when Pelosi made her remarks in March 2010. The bill, in its original form, was passed by the House of Representatives in October 2009, and in the Senate that December. Although the bill was unusually long (the act runs to 906 pages in the legislative record, with many more pages of regulations) its contents had been subjected to intensive debate and scrutiny in both houses of Congress.
