expects to spend between $180 billion and $190 billion on capital expenditures — largely on AI infrastructure
【洞察】Google 全年 AI 基础设施资本支出预计 $180-190B——这相当于每天烧掉约 5 亿美元建数据中心。与 Anthropic 的 $65B 融资、OpenAI 的 $122B、SpaceX 的 $75B 目标放在一起，仅这四家公司 2026 年就将累计向 AI 基础设施注入超过 $500B。这场军备竞赛的体量已经超越了历史上任何一次技术基础设施投资周期。

the offering was so oversubscribed that it raised $45 billion instead
【令人震惊的数字】Alphabet 原计划发行 $40B 股票，结果超募变成 $45B，加上下季度的 $40B，共 $85B——打破了巴西石油 2010 年创下的 $70B 全球股票发行记录。Berkshire Hathaway 单独买入 $10B。这个数字的真正意义：连以「价值投资」著称的巴菲特都大手笔押注 AI，说明 AI 已从「高科技赌注」变成了全球资本眼中的「确定性机会」。

Serbian uses the latin alphabet (most of the time on typewriters) and letters unique to it are "žčćšđ" while Czech adds "" but upsidedown on other letters. Finally Polish can be identified by the 'Ł ł"
Distinguishing some European keyboards on typewriters.

These platforms have shortcomings on the practical level, as well. If a user needs a different app for everything they want to do online, we’re looking at a massive increase in app fatigue, the exhaustion that comes when users must download and engage with more platforms to have a semblance of an online presence and community. While the platforms offered by Meta and Alphabet are certainly not without issue, it is hard to deny the convenience of their established existence, which makes it possible to communicate, be entertained, shop, and more all in the same place. By contrast, users of decentralized platforms will need to download a slew of apps for everything they want to do online, because these features will no longer all exist in one place.

DeepMind: Sparrow
From an Alphabet subsidiary, it is meant to be a conversation agent. Claims safer, less-biased machine learning (ML) systems, thanks to its application of reinforcement learning based on input from human research participants for training. Can search Google for answers.
Considered a proof-of-concept that is not ready for wide deployment.

a challenging macro environment
I wonder if this is à la Google. From the twitter thread:
Pretty incredible that Google is trying to get away with blaming macroeconomic conditions for their layoffs, when over the last year they’ve spend 57.36B on stock buybacks.
That’s enough to support the 12,000 laid off engineers at their median engineer compensation for 23 years.

ow many sounds do you need to have a language well 00:30:33 think about a computer what can you say on a computer anything right I mean you can type anything that's why people get addicted to Facebook and everything but how many letters does a computer have it 00:30:44 has two zero and one you have a binary digit language and those I would like to call the sounds of the computer zero and one that's how it interprets everything or that's how it presents information 00:30:58 that is interpreted by the program that was created by a person with language you don't really need more than two sounds
!- for : language evolution - how many symbols do you need for a language? - no more than 2, like a computer with "0" and "1"

Hieroglyphics the oldest form of alphabet. Using Pictures and symbols instead of letters. But the pictures and samples usually meant something else. And then they became letters.

World Health Organization (WHO). (2021, May 31). Today WHO has announced a new naming system for key #COVID19 variants. The labels are based on the Greek alphabet (i.e. Alpha, Beta, Gamma, etc), making them simple, easy to say and remember. 👉 https://t.co/aYCZfspZyb https://t.co/Gxt14fwVqF [Tweet]. @WHO. https://twitter.com/WHO/status/1399432092333883393

Project Loon—Alphabet’s wacky-sounding plan to deliver the internet to the world’s farthest-flung places via giant balloons—is even closer to reality than the company previously thought.
It's going very quietly though.
