Nobody cares anymore.
Nobody cares anymore.
As frustrating as this may be, it’s even more frustrating when I see exactly the same thing among PROFESSIONAL SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS!
directory structure and basic text editing are foreign concepts to them. If it’s not in their IDE, they really don’t understand it.
Also, 90% of them are hunt-and-peck two finger typists.
Really?
The PDF contains the information. The screenshot contains a picture of the information.
It’s a tree vs. a picture of a tree. A recording vs. a live performance.
Bullshit.
This whole endeavour is looking like a careful plan to implement a smaller, slightly less horrible idea in Win11, and then creep forward from there.
Remember the model to move the goal line, folks:
Best of all, these large steps can be supplemented by nudging things forward with ‘adjusttments.’
I wish we could really press the main point here: Google is willfully foisting their LLM on the public, and presenting it as a useful tool. It is not, which makes them guilty of neglicence and fraud.
Pichai needs to end up in jail and Google broken up into at least ten companies.
This is only a problem if you present the AI as an effective general-purpose tool. Which Google has.
So maybe we start suing google for harmful answers.
Bill Joy.
Only if FB wants there to be.
(And they don’t. They’ve actively courted extremists since leaving campus.)
Every one of my IT colleagues over about 35 is an absolute luddite. No IoT, no smart appliances, and a hardened firewall for everything that needs access. Location tracking and biometrics disabled on our phones, no cloud services, etc.
My thermostat is original to our 1941 house, and has survived a fire. My mom just sold her 1989 house with a digital programmable thermostat - also original to the house -that functions perfectly.
No part of a house should wear out and break after 16 years, except MAYBE carpeting. Building things like shit is no excuse for things being shitty, it’s an indictment against it!
Fisker said it hired a Chief Restructuring Officer in the hopes of staving off bankruptcy.
Ah yes. No better way to reduce costs than hiring another C*O.
Where were they a year ago?
Seems like they only care about sharing the stage with Nazis when it might hurt them.
This is fucking garbage.
When a company gets caught with their hand in the cookie jar, it’s not a punishment to put one of the cookies back.
Fines should be ten TIMES what the company made from their misbehaviour, not ten percent.
This isn’t a ‘painful day for tech titans.’
Corporations don’t feel pain. C*Os insulate themselves from it. They’re getting steadily richer, probably making more money than you’ll ever see in your life.
This is a good day for tech consumers. That should have been the headline.
No, but they need it to dynamically adjust pricing based on customer demographics.
I’m apparently one of the “power users” because I got the IPO investment invite.
In Canada.
I’m surprised nobody has discussed the most obvious “marketing” use of this data: Differential pricing.
Someone walks up to the machine. Based on the image seen by the machine, they determine which product is most likely to sell, and bump that product’s price up by a quarter or 50 cents.
If they’re not doing it now, they’re preparing to do it in the near future.
EDIT If you watch Invenda’s marketing videos, they talk about how the ‘optical sensor’ provides a ‘bespoke purchasing experience.’
Sounds exactly like dynamic pricing is their model.
You don’t need an app for that, just replace ‘www’ with ‘old’ in the URL.
