It’s all pure CEO bullshit though, and none of it is real.
It doesn’t cost money to send a Bluetooth signal from your phone to a sous vide. Maybe the WiFi server costs money but it’s their own fault for adding stupid functionality that phones home.
I’ve got one of these and I’m prepared to bet money that almost all of their server costs come down to every recipe in the app just being a link to a web page with lots of photos. https://recipes.anovaculinary.com/
Lots of people still split latex documents into one section per file, because subversion used file locks and we only knew how one person could edit a file at a time.
Nah, you’re forgetting how fucked the US is.
Citizen’s United mean it’s absolutely fine for billionaires to spend as much money as they like supporting geriatric fascists, providing they don’t ask the fascists how they’d like the money spent.
Providing Elon keeps going off half-cocked and making decisions on his own and isn’t following instructions from the trump campaign this is all perfectly legal.
And even if he is acting on orders, how could you ever prove it?
Yeah but they don’t use LLMs for this, they’ll use some other kind of machine learning mixed in a big pipeline of data processing. It makes it really hard to guess how much work it would take to fix. It might require retraining, might just require an easy patch of the rest of the pipeline.
My guess is that they’re just shitty jumpers and there’s nothing to fix anyway.
Unfortunately, this is bad statistics.
The Teslas in self driving mode tend to be used on main roads, and most accidents per mile happen on the small side streets. People are also much safer where Teslas are driven than the these statistics suggest.

It’s always one of the first things to get cut when companies try to save money.
I tried using some but they’re all equally shit.
That would be fine, if people weren’t using LLMs to write code, or to do school work,
But they are. So it’s important to write these articles that say “if you keep using a chainsaw to drive nails, here are the limitations you need to be aware of.”
It’s super hard to get involved as a UI person. If you’re a developer, you can just rock up to a project and fix bugs, and if you follow the coding style they’ll probably get accepted.
If you want to successfully contribute as a UI person you have to convince a bunch of developers that you know what they should be doing better than they do. It basically never happens.

I changed companies and we all use teams now.
But none of that stuff helped when I did use it.
The problem was I was in AWS and needed to be subscribed to hundreds of channels. So when I needed to find something, I’d have to click through maybe 20 different channels all with similar names to find it. At that point the back button is useless.
Thumbs up is good for telling a person you’ve seen something. It doesn’t help the rest of the team know this, unless they like to go back and read old messages.
I mean the real take home message is “don’t work for Aws”. Slack just made some of the dysfunction worse, it didn’t create it.
Fuck slack though.
I hated the channel organisation, I would always click off a channel where I needed to respond to try and find other information, and then I’d never be able to find the channel I was responding to. Chronological sorting channels at least means I have a chance of finding where I was.
Also fuck their terrible reply options. I generally just wanted to acknowledge that I was responding to a message, I didn’t want to spin up some weird thread.
Basically, I hate everything, and don’t want to talk to anyone.
Yeah they’ve rolled it out to everyone, got a defacto monopoly and now they’re increasing the rates for new customers.
This is just capitalism 101 while pretending it’s for the regulators.
How fucked up would it be if your actual town square was owned by a private company?
You have just invented malls. Hugely damaging to society, but they come with convenient parking and air con.
I quite like the tag line X, the abandoned shopping mall of the internet.
I think it describes it well.
Great that’ll go really well with teams, teams classic, and teams work and school.
Honestly, most of what Cambridge analytica did was blackmail, illegal spending, and collusion between campaigns that were legally required to be separate.
Much of the data processing/ml was intended as a smoke screen to distract from the big stuff that was known to work and consequently legislated against. The problem is that they were so incompetent that the distraction technique was also illegal.
Maybe the machine learning also worked, but it’s really not clear.
Well this is it. What really enforces the policy is rejecting commits that break user space.
Now if you’ve got a large enough group of devs, rejecting commits is fine, but if you’ve only got a small group you need everyone to be working productively, and you can see why Linus ended up giving angry feedback about commits that were wasting everyone’s time.
The app phones home to access recipes.
Maybe it works without access to the server, but maybe it just refuses to do anything.
