Just pattern recognition it is not the neural net everyone assumes it is.
Tesla’s current iteration of self-driving is based on neural networks. Certainly the computer vision is; there’s no other way we have of doing computer vision that works at all well and, according to this article from last year it’s true for the decision-making too.
Of course, the whole task of self-driving is “pattern recognition”; neural networks are just one way of achieving that.
Comparing huge multinational countries which serve every country to the half of countries with the smallest energy usage is not terribly illustrative.
And my comment only used social media as an example. The point is, big websites have more draw than small websites, leading to a self-amplifying effect.
From the user’s perspective it’s not about “reach”; it’s about simply having people to interact with. If you go to a thread on reddit there’ll be hundreds or thousands of people to talk about it with, and there’ll be active communities for all kinds of niches. If you want to avoid reddit - whether because of privacy issues or site policy or mods or whatever - you have to deal with the fact that everyone else is sticking with reddit.
Yes? That’s why loans with collateral charge a lower interest rate than unsecured loans.
It’s like any number of blog hosts that have gone before it.
I know how HTTP works. These banners are supposed to (and are legally allowed to) store a cookie saying you have refused. Websites are allowed to store session cookies with displaying a banner at all.
No, they set a cookie to store it, but with a low retention period, so you get bugged again.
A start would be to require sites to remember non-consents for at least as long as they remember consents. Why do I have to be asked about cookies by every site every month?
Your browser can not save third party cookies, but it might break some sites. Some advertising situations allow the use of first-party cookies, and blocking first-party cookies will break most sites.
In either case you will still have to fill out the consent form, and if the consent is stored in the kind of storage you block, then you will have to fill it out every single time you visit.
Yes, but it often doesn’t work and even when it does the site is unusable while it works, which for some particularly awful banners is several minutes. The situation is worse on mobile where most people have a browser that you can’t install add-ons to (and I’m not sure if that one works in firefox mobile anyway)
It’s already the case that necessary cookies don’t need permission, but websites do not abuse this to not show the prompt. This is because the legislation has teeth.
Either too many people spamming so you can’t follow a single conversation, or for most channels you had 40 people idling and never responding, so it felt like a ghost town.
How is this different to Discord? You have huge, medium and small channels in both.
That’s the key I use as a compose key
If you federate with something too massive though it has undue weight on the entire system. It is likely to be Embrace, Extend, Extinguish again, and it’s reasonable to want to avoid that.
For people who don’t remember, the pattern would be something like:
It depends whether 2 actually succeeds at pulling users in. Arguably most people already on the Fediverse are unlikely to jump ship to Facebook, but you have to consider what happens in a few years if it’s grown, but Facebook is a huge name which makes people less likely to join other instances.
Never knew the details of this!
Besides cost, we should probably at least entertain the idea that we are a vocal minority. I’d be completely unsurprised to find out that the majority of people hardly ever touch the controls that got moved to touchscreens and, if they do, they don’t really care - they can set them before they set off, or do it while driving and wobble all over the road, but hey everyone does it so what does it matter?
I use mine fairly often. I don’t actually listen to music all that much but sometimes I do when my phone is my only data source, and I don’t have wireless headphones.
I joined last.fm when it was still called audioscrobbler. I believe their logo with the stylised “as” is still a nod to that origin!
Think Spotify’s year in review, but running constantly.
To expand: it shows your top artists, albums and tracks, all the time. But it also performed spotify’s function of a recommender system; it would link music together that people often listened to together, then if you listen to something it would recommend you similar stuff. I found A LOT of bands that way a long time ago.
We have gone from cruise control to cars being able to drive themselves quite well in about a decade. The last percentage points of reliability are of course the hardest, but that’s a tremendously pessimistic take.
