My phone detects going on a run as "someone snatching my phone and running off"

They have big offices in San Francisco, and also in New York, Dublin, Zurich, London, and various other cities where this stuff matters, though, these days (their Dublin office is right beside the train station that it insists I shouldn't go to, because walking!). You'd think it would've gotten fixed at some point.

Do they develop any products in any of those offices?

All five of the ones named, yes - in fact Zürich is the biggest engineering center outside the US. The majority of Google sites do engineering work.

Who cares? They'll all be fired in a few months and swapped for LLM coders. Have you tried routing between Kimi K3 and Fable? Fireworks put out an article on it.

People still writing code but it's now below a minimum wage job in terms of economic value addition. It's a waste of human time and energy.

Smart people need to learn biology or something that actually has value, like Jensen has been saying for years.

We've banned this account for going on tilt, posting unsubstantive, flamebait comments. This is not what HN is for, and we've asked you before to observe the guideilnes.

Look at my new account. I dare you to ban this one too. You'll never ban all of my accounts, tomhow, even with help from Fable.

We've banned plenty of your accounts and we'll keep doing it if we must. We all have grotty chores we have to do. You always have the option to make a positive contribution.

An LLM could develop it for them anywhere on earth. Why waste a human's valuable time on minimum wage robot work like programming? It's not 2025 anymore. Wake up!

There is (used to be? I'm not sure anymore) a Maps office in Tokyo too.

I used to work in the Seattle office, but I wouldn't have had the first idea how to get anything like this changed.
