Bad employers eventually face the music

I haven’t heard discussion on this topic, but isn’t it possible for the LLM to interpret that 30k as good, reinforcing its own bad habits?

Looks like no. According to their GitHub they’re a solo dev in need of financial support

Google should open it up for other apps to use. Otherwise RCS is a power grab

It’s worth noting these companies try to capture & record every inch of a city before entering the market there. Without these models the vehicles would drive significantly worse. This isn’t really a scalable business model from what I’ve read

I thought I share this here for people who like the UI of Firefox but hate it’s performance and like chrome performance but hate its UI.

That’s pretty specific. What kinds of things are you doing that are impacting performance? Never had that issue with any mobile browser

People accused MKBHD for “killing” products with his reviews. Both cannot be true

I think it was pretty convenient for the specific use case of discovering an article you want to read later on an e-reader. Or so I hear

The sell is a screenless phone with an AI assistant

That’s exactly right. Even if we made an AI that could give us the perfect solution and had accurate projections to back up its assertions, inevitably we’d reject it because we wouldn’t trust it fully. It cannot fix the often selfish nature of humans

JerryRigEverything said is his recent teardown review that Pixel repairability has gotten particularly worse on the 9. Sounded like the battery was very difficult to remove

^~ bat signal for Lina Khan ~^

Honestly can’t believe Google was so explicit in calling RCS an “open standard” and then turning around and doing this

Well, sure, but I’m sure most coal miners don’t feel super great about their specific job and profession generally. It’s a waste of resources and capital generally, not at a zoomed in level

Intentions aside, it’s just some independent research that anyone can review and critique. If the research is bad then it should be pointed out and won’t be taken seriously, undermining any influence from Goldman Sachs now and in the future
