It’s not about budgets, it’s about incentives and the Dunbar limit. A solo-preneur, or a small organisation has all the incentives to have great onboarding experiences. And they’re small enough for everyone to know each other and have a coherent vision.

At a huge organisation like Google there’s a plethora of people all working according to their incentives. These organisations pay lip service to customer experience and excellence, but when push comes to shove it’s the flashy projects that get rewarded.

So nobody has a great overview of everything going on to the necessary level of detail, and nobody actually cares about onboarding UX.

As I see it the AI schism is more about the debate between functionalism/computationalism and the idea that the chinese room thought experiment was an argument for, "biological naturalism". There is a lot of effort dedicated to showing that AIs dont have some innate quality called "consciousnes" or "sentience" or what have you. There is not just a lot of effort to show that, but also to show that that is somehow a limitation to the capabilities of an "AI".

Personally I think "consciousness" or "sentience" or whatever you want to call it, is really not that useful in making logical decisions or solving engineering problems. It is certainly a useful trait to humans but if nobody can tell that the person/program in the chinese room doesnt actually "understand" chinese then why does it matter? If it walks and talks like a duck you can probably use it for whatever ducks are useful for.
> Maybe some time in the future but the current generative "AI" can not (let me repeat: can not) solve anything.

I know for a fact that it is putting marketing copywriters out of jobs.

I used ChatGPT 3 times yesterday to generate code snippets that I could have figured out myself but took a couple of prompts using ChatGPT.

I've used ChatGPT dozens of times in my D&D campaign for things like "generate a bunch of random dwarves with names and occupations, don't use Tolkien names"

People who say it "can not solve anything" are delusional.

Since the Maker Suite doesn't have the same prompting as something like Bard or ChatGPT, I gave Gemini Pro a bit more context:

> Consider the following user chat. Reason out loud as needed to provide a reasonable response. User message: "Julia has three brothers, each of them has two sisters. How many sisters does Julia have?"

Gemini Pro:

> Julia's brothers have nothing to do with how many sisters she has. Julia's sisters are also her brothers' sisters, so the number of sisters Julia has is the same as the number of sisters her brothers have. Julia's brothers have two sisters each, so if we add up the number of sisters for each brother, we get: 2 + 2 + 2 = 6. Therefore, Julia has 6 sisters. The answer is 6.

Acid-sugar taste-hacking is something that has bothered me for quite a while.

We know that sodium consumption can be drastically reduced by adding salt at table rather than adding it directly to food. Why doesn't this happen with sugar? Why not make desserts that take advantage of the fact that surface sugar will make it seem to be sweeter than it actually is and just have table sugar?
> That $0.10 you paid for the paper only really covered the cost of printing and distribution, if that.

AFAIK for most newspapers and magazines, the cost on the label was mostly there so that readers would feel like the publication was serious - differentiating them from the free papers which were clearly spam and / or propaganda
The fallacy you push is that the legal process in case your child shoots someone is the same as the private and inscrutable process that Google follows to ban people, which it isn't
Makes sense.

There are some academic papers (I think one by Ross Anderson) which state that steganography relies on there being some randomness in the data you are hiding the message inside. So, to make the bandwidth available for for steganographic data hiding as large as possible, those needing to conceal data need incentives for innocents to publish files constructed using as large as possible quantities of random bits. It looks like Stable Diffusion is providing this incentive!

One if the worst parts of poverty is that it steals all of your time!

All your time is devoted to just surviving, so you can never really better you situation.

You want to improve your situation? Not happening, you gotta work 60 hours this week so you cant study for that AWS cert or medical coding cert.

Then the job you work is most likely dead end with no advancement or fake advancement.

So you live pay check to paycheck with no hope of escape.

Then if you dont have parents or luck... to help one catastrophe and youre doomed.

And luck is not a strategy.

You literally are trapped by capitalism.

Then even if youre able to scrape together some time every week to better yourself... so many artificial walls have been erected to prevent smart hardworking people from entering professions.

That includes jacking prices on universities and industries requiring university education for licenses instead of a test/apprenticeship.

Things you used to be able to do without formal schooling: law, cpa, PE, teaching, hair dressing, and more.

Basically massive friction has been added to smart hard working people trying to skill up instead of supporting people skilling up to their potential.

Tech is one of the few actually meritocratic middle class industries left but is now getting watered down by the entire world entering the industry.

As a side note, think of all the wasted potential that could be bettering the human race who are trapped in the cycle of poverty.

There could be a Mozart out there whose parents can't afford a fucking keyboard.
I assume there is some minimum, else being unemployed would be beneficial here.
That's an interesting point of view.

I think the internet would be worse. No matter how you put it, the ads are funding content. If ads weren't viable, we wouldn't have a different kind of content. We'd simply have less content.

If there's a content business that can exist in this ad-free internet, it would already exist in the current ad-ful internet.

I don't know what kind of internet anti-ads people envision, but I'm afraid the whole thing is very damn fragile and rocking the boat will more likely break it irreparably than make it better.

Humm, I have a feeling part of the story is missing here, even though i can relate as i was myself a minimum wage worker in the hospitality industry in Britain for a while (back in 1999, my annual wage was something like 8500 pounds). Long odd hours, not so pleasant interfacing with customers, 7 people sharing a flat in London, so broke at the end of the month that walking from Mayfair to Canada Water was reality because no money for public transport....

Yet, as a foreigner, I (We, as a matter of fact, since all my friends and colleagues were either german, italian, spanish, chinese...) had no real social safety net to rely on. We couldn't go back to our family (500 miles away) with our tail between our legs in case we really fucked up.

Something isn't clear in this writer's account of the reason of her living in poverty, whether it is a story of mental illness, child abuse... things i witnessed years later when i bought a flat in Barking (poor white area of greater London) and this i feel would need to be clarified for me to be able to accept the conclusion that "poverty is largely accidental", especially coming from someone quite so articulate.
I get that this is just how books are sold, but I like the look of books without pictures on the cover. It means I've got nothing but the words shaping my thoughts.

Nvidia switched to marketing speak a long time ago when it came to the word "core". If we go with Nvidia's definition then M1 Max has 4096 cores, still behind the 4090, but the gap isn't as big as 32 to 16k.
He's not even "abusing" the service like many people would think (storing movies and TV shows, etc). This is all his own data. Yes he has a lot of data. This is why one would pay for an unlimited plan.
Shocked by this and having a Workspace account in same condition (read-only state, not in deletion yet) I've deleted some terrabytes of my (redundand) backups on Google Drive with many thousands files.

But the emptying the trash/bin is horrible UX wise. You can only trash the files visible there. It seems the easiest way to empty the trash completely is to configure rclone and run this command (so emptying trash with API):

Hope this is helpful for anybody else here.
They don’t track you for free. Advertisers pay. They don’t have to store data if no one pays. This of course in no way justifies the journalist losing his data.
Why would a system (LLMs in this case) designed to produce the most likely next output be innovative?

Because if you use the service you know it is capable of that and more today. SpaceX is also capable of providing differentiated service speeds so looking at what an average user is getting today is not indicative of what could be provided if they were under some minimum speed obligation. The FCC's rational is clearly them twisting themselves into knots to try and get to the decision they want to satisfy their preferred politics.

When a government agency that is supposed to be impartial and fact based is clearly making decisions like this on a political basis that undermines it in the long term due to public mistrust.
We don't have much idea of what "our model of the world" is. Probably quite little of it is genetically encoded. E.g. object permanence has to be learned (takes around 7 months).

What you describe is largely the classical "cognitivist" model, which is more or less dead in the contemporary tought. We don't even have a very good account of depth estimation, apart from "bunch of things seem to affect it".

One of the few un-nuanced takes I have is that every component library/DS should be built on top of Radix or React-Aria or some other thorough but extensible library. If you’re implementing your own tooltips and menus, you’ve lost the plot. We need to stop reimplementing bad versions of commoditized bits of UI that overlook accessibility, appropriately generic prop APIs, boundary detection, composability, documentation, testing, etc.

It pains me to see dev teams spending time on rebuilding solved problems. I understand brownfield constraints, but the greenfield situations are particularly painful.

But restaurants explicitly ban doing that. Even all you can eat restaurants don't let you take out food. Google never hinted at having a maximum limit. Theres no reason to believe or expect that unlimited actually means some arbitrary limit that google just came up with after you signed up. Your analogy would've been better if the journo tried hosting a file share service using his drive account as a back end or something but that's not what happened

The embarrassing part is how they have been allocating subsidies to ISPs that don't provide rural connectivity improvements nearly as significant as what Starlink managed to actually pull off. A competent agency would do whatever they can to support Starlink's efforts or replicate them elsewhere. Instead, they're cutting off the one ISP that actually revolutionized rural internet access after 20 years of government-bankrolled stagnation and grift.

Your complaint should be with the legislative branch, not the executive. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 added requirements on the battery material sources to come into effect 2024. The biggest problem for most EVs is that the act requires the materials not to come from a "foreign entity of concern" (FEOC) to qualify for the rebate. China is designated as an FEOC and most EV batteries have materials from China.

I bought from Cuba Cola in the past. It wasn't bad. It basically tasted like grocery-store-brand Coke. I kept the 750ml syrup concentrate in the fridge at would add an ounce or so to my water carbonator whenever I felt like having a cup of soda.

It was intended to ween me off Coke, but, I'm sad to say that Coke won. I didn't bother purchasing another batch when we finished the first one. I instead graduated to buying the mini cans of Coke rather than the full-sized ones.
You need to learn some manners and some basic critical thinking skills. You don't get to dictate where we are in a conversation.

To build housing "anywhere in the US" you have to build all the infrastructure that makes it make sense to move people there. This country hasn't built a new city in ages, it just keeps expanding metro areas into sub- and exurbs. Are you also going to fund hospitals? Groceries? Building supply stores? A car for everyone? All the devices and supplies for heating and cooling in adverse environmental conditions? How do you think that's going to make sense financially compared to providing services and housing where people are and where they already have human-scale support systems (friends and family)? And good luck bringing together the different governments at different scales to avoid scope creep, budget bloat, and general coordination problems. You're being so myopic and naive that your smarminess and vitriol toward those you consider undeserving is not even funny, just pitiful. People aren't bits in a machine, you can't just move them effortlessly to new locations.
It's ok to just say, "You're right, I was wrong". Try it some time, you might be surprised how much better you feel about yourself.

Google deserves some hate here, but this problem is bigger than just them, and I think by being too narrowly focused on G we're missing a systemic problem. G is one of the worst offenders, but this is a cultural attitude/approach in most of tech. The idea is to acquire users by giving stuff away or making your service cheap, lock them in, then squeeze by ratcheting up the price. It's a playbook that has worked fantastically well and made a lot of people very rich, so it's not going to change overnight and/or without some pain.

I've started refusing business with these types of companies, and I tell them why. I'm sure none of it matters, but if I do it then I know that at least somebody is saying something.

An example: I would be one of the biggest buyer of Kindle books on the planet if they were DRM free. I'd still buy some things if I could use software to read it that wasn't invasively spying on me. It's nice that they make stuff cheaper by putting some of the data revenue into it (and even subsidizing it in some cases), but I'd much rather pay for something like Remarkable more but get a respectful product.
Because storing 240TB is expensive even locally. From https://diskprices.com/, if he gets a good deal of $8/tb, it's going to cost $2,000 just for the storage of his data, and getting the data onto it would require a setup that can address and power 20 drives (assuming 12TB drives), unless they use a few USB HDD Sata adapters to archive it all.

I'm sure you'll come up with another rationalization, but your money is definitely not going to the artists (unless perhaps you are listening exclusively to Ukranian bands). Just be honest with yourself: you find mp3caprice.com's service convenient and are willing to pay them for it. Just don't pretend that it is the legal route.

If you actually wish to know if they are legal today (rather than just pretend they are), why not ask your national recording industry association? They'll know.

The average non-tech savvy person doesn't really have an option than to get screwed over then. Assuming you have an Android phone, it's practically required to have a Google account; many apps just flat out do not work without Google Play Services or without signing in with your Gmail account.

Yes, I know about microG, Graphene, F-Droid and the like, but the average person is not going to flash their phone. They will inevitably hit a wall that says "you need to login with Google," create a Google account, and won't ask questions.

Just as an example, my mother-in-law couldn't find her contacts when she bought a new phone. Why? Because she was unknowingly saving her contacts to a Google account she forgot she made.
