My Amazon streaming app on my Xbox literally only works when using my PiHole. Their poorly tested ad software literally prevented me from watching Prime for a few weeks until I turned my PiHole back on.

This is the stock market, the value is set by what investors think the value could be. Mostly, they’re probably assuming people would come back if he sold it. Literally everyone knows the name Twitter.

When commas and semicolons aren’t allowed special characters

Don’t forget that the data bandwidth is so low it can’t play higher quality mp3s.

Can’t you press volume up to act as a shutter button? That was a feature as old as thr iPhone 4, maybe older.

Blowing smoke directly into your friend’s sensor to ge them in trouble.

Or ya know, vaping in the hall where you don’t have your own personal sensor and you’ll be back in class by the time any sensor goes off.

Future chips not affected by THIS cpu bug.

You may be deleting your comments in the hopes that it will pull some value away from Reddit. That’s not true, in fact, the opposite is more likely. They will still keep the deleted posts in their archives, and they will still be able to train their AI models on the content. The difference is that now they get an extra datapoint: these are the kind of comments of someone who left Reddit and deleted their account/comments. If you deleted them right after leaving, that means they can place your account deletion in time around the API changes, which will also contribute to their AI profile.

Every Sonos app sucks. It’s just one of those facts of life.

A friend of mine recently told me that your seat position is stored server-side in case you own multiple Teslas, so if Tesla goes belly up, it’s possible you won’t be able to save your seat settings.

I’m actually greatful for foldable phones. When they started actually coming out, I was certain that smartphones were feature-complete and my phone would never become obsolete again. If that weren’t true, they would have put a new real feature in the phone instead.

Inb4 apps like NewPipe and Signal are arbitrarily categorized as “low quality” without any sort of opportunity to challenge the ruling.

Yeah I’m glad you brought up the doorbell. Once the jammer dog is jamming, it’s impossible to ring most doorbells and choose the polite option. It’s 110% murderville from that point onwards.

Weather forecasting does create ensemble models to help constrain their forecasts. They’ll adjust some of their inputs in each model, mainly as a way of embedding the uncertainty in the measured data, then run that model and see if it changed.

This resembles AI on one level, but it’s at a dramatically different scale. An ensemble may contain a few hundred runs at most, but an AI needs tens of thousands of data points at minimum. In order to make predictions like what google is saying they can do, they’d need to train on billions or maybe trillions of data points.

This is still fundamentally different than ensemble modeling though. Ensembles are physically informed and the perturbations are based on real assumptions. Each model in an ensemble is based on validated physics equations. An AI model would undermine that completely. You can’t possibly describe the underlying equations because there aren’t any, so you can’t analyze its accuracy or propose a more accurate model, you’re just stuck with a bunch of coefficients that you’ll never understand.

I’ve worked in climate modeling, and this kind of AI work is nothing more than an electricity sink for at least a decade, maybe forever.

Wouldn’t help (on its own), you’d still get auto-updated to the broken version.

C wears the pants of the family.

The problem is that 20% failure rate has no validation and you are 100% liable for the failures of an AI you’re using as a customer support agent, which can end up costing you a ton and killing your reputation. The unfixable problem is that an AI solution takes a ton of effort to validate, way more than just double checking a human answer.

Pretty sure that on average, I write more lines of Python per day than are in this repo at the moment, and I’m not constantly under threat of a cease and decist from arriving at my doorstep.

It’s so bad it’s almost artistic
