… or to get all these cupcake recipes. If all that matters not to get fired is active agents…

Sounds to me they will be charging more for their services. Or do I need to purposely misunderstand the statement to be useless?

I think this idea was floated and partially implemented by Uber already.

People need to realize that it doesn’t need to be profitable. Public transportation is a service with many beneficial side effects and efficiencies. The money you lose providing the service to the public reduces other costs. This is why corporations can’t and shouldn’t take it over.

Just to be clear: it doesn’t need to be free. But it could “lose” money.

Oh we have to do exactly that, but my point is that just electrifying the cars is far from enough. We need fewer cars, not just have them be electric.

However the real transformation we gotta do is to move to more public transportation (which can also be electrified) but these budgets are all gone under Trump.

Well, we’re on federated social media here so it doesn’t apply here, but the big tech owned social media certainly can suppress things they don’t want spread.

Bought the Fairphone with e/OS.

Problem is many see Android equivalent with Samsung and Samsung is the worst when it comes to customize your HW because they really lock down their shit.

For my phone I just bought a new battery after many years of use and it’s back to working as if it’s new. Before that I had a Shift phone (with Google, I think) which allowed me to replace the camera module once the autofocus in the camera broke.

Not sure if I’m old fashioned, but I like to own my devices and modify them if I please.

My wife would hate it, if I were no longer reachable.

No. I haven’t used Google apps on my phone for years already. That includes Google Play Services and the Play Store. Most apps are open source and I’m self hosting my media.

We gotta claw this shit back.

There’s stiff competition. Good for the consumer.

It’s not a defense of the LLM. They are bad tools: LLMs can be unpredictable and if you hand them a nuke they may trigger it for whatever reason, even harmless and unrelated ones.

So don’t hand them a nuke, idiots.

The guy betting on this even ran in to try and make Trump dance by shooting the ground under his feet like they did in old Western movies, but that didn’t work out either.

Not mentioned in the article but Gemini is obviously developed by the DeepMind teams, among many other things.

No, it has to do with growth. An adult eye no longer grows significantly.

Had a similar experience when SCUBA diving recently. New pressure gauges these days are digital and I still think the analog ones are not only prettier, but also functionally more convenient. You don’t need to be able to read numbers to know you’re getting into the red. Maybe they have some extra feature but I didn’t need it.

You don’t sell the same amount of product when you have to increase the price. You may need to shrink your business to not get the remaining margin getting eaten up by operational costs.

Dude, wtf is wrong with them?

The job market is actually pretty bad right now and with all the recent layoffs in tech very saturated. Unionizing would make more sense.

I guess AOL published this in the “entertainment” section because horror is also an entertainment category.

But we have to identify this as what it is: an internal policy failure where they abandon proven processes to maintain code quality.

I guess I’m lucky my managers have not put that pressure on me yet. I do however see developers getting sloppy and lazier so the reviews actually do take more effort and AI rarely catches all problems with a change.

At least in my experience these models are pretty good now to write code based on best practices. If you ask for impractical things they will start doing ugly shortcuts or workarounds. A good eye catches these and you either rerun with a refined prompt, fix your own design or just keep telling it how you want to have it fixed.

You still gotta know how good code looks like to write it, but the models can help a lot.
