Why does want to implement ? It's not about images. It's about modelling what workers do on Windows, and then replacing them.

The most expensive part of a computer is the fallible feelings-filled unpredictable meat sack that operates it.

Google has YouTube, Google Photos, Maps, and a bucket load of search data, Google Analytics, advertising, as well as it's data (e.g. transcriptions). And a bunch of data from Android services. From this data they can model speech, model videos and model advertising systems, and how humans respond to them.

But they can't model what people do on computers.

Amazon has Prime data, and a bucket load of compute. But no operating system data. They can build models based around e-commerce and advertising systems.

But they can't model what people do on computers.

Meta has waves hands enough analytics to model human behaviour in the Metaverse.

But they can't model what people do on computers.

Microsoft has GitHub.
Microsoft has LinkedIn.
Microsoft has SharePoint.
Microsoft has Teams.
Microsoft has Dynamics.
Microsoft has O365.
Microsoft has Windows telemetry data.

Microsoft can model what people do on (Windows) computers. Like fill out spreadsheets.Write emails. Synthesize web pages of research. Interact with colleagues on Teams. Create and edit documents.

Microsoft wants data so they can model what people do with operating systems.

Then replace them.

Imagine a CoPilot that doesn't just write buggy code. Imagine one that also does spreadsheets. That creates documents on SharePoint. That communicates with colleages on Teams. That has a customer pipeline on Dynamics.

That's what Recall is about - 360 degree surveillance of the worker, to model their functions, make them fungible, replicable - and replaceable.

This makes total sense given microsofts surveillance strengths. At first I was thinking "but why images then, why not just a key and mouse logger and patch into the core apps like office and browser that probably dominate most of the economic behavior they'd be modeling," but then as with LLMs being used for all text tasks no matter whether natural language is relevant, I had a laugh thinking the tech for image parsing is similarly overdeveloped, and how the contemporary "AI" approach is basically to recapitulate human sensory modalities as the janky ass interfaces to the world that they are rather than directly use symbolic logic or adapt to specific domains.

I think thats sort of cute, in a "human are space orcs" kind of way. Instead of teaching the computers to think, we taught them to see and talk, and whatever happens in the middle there is less relevant.

Sonos CEO Patrick Spence addresses the company’s divisive app redesign https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/22/24162168/sonos-ceo-patrick-spence-new-app-design-interview

@verge why would he say anything other than that he will ensure it gets fixed.

The new app manages to make my iPad and iPhone Max feel too small by reducing the browsable space into a tiny, shadow covered scrollable area between the giant and opaque, search, now playing bar, and header components.

It’s not pretty, and it’s not performant. So much gray. It’s just not pleasant to use. Real bummer how it devalued my nice sound system and impression of the brand overnight.

No notes at this time, Tim

I am very sad to report death May 17 at age 89 of Gordon Bell, famous computer pioneer, a founder of Computer Museum in Boston, and a force behind the @ComputerHistory her in Silicon Valley, and good friend since the 1980s.
He succumbed to aspiration pneumonia in Coronado, CA.
I'm told there will be a "Celebration of Life" service in August in Silicon Valley.
(Another fallen giant, we attended a similar service in April for another, Nobelist Arno Penzias.)

Relieved to report that I am the proud and abandoned user of the abandoned but functional Sonos System 1 controller, because I have “legacy” hardware components that have absolutely nothing wrong with them — besides the fact that I bought them a long time ago. At least Sonos has continued to let the System 1 controller exist, I guess?

Why this company’s biggest fans turned against it https://wapo.st/4dKjBy7

@AnnemarieBridy Had to laugh at attempt to make screwing up sound like some kind of visionary leadership:

"Why, they asked, didn’t Sonos wait to update the app until it was complete and the bugs were fixed? A Sonos executive also said it took “courage” for the company to overhaul its app, which some customers said was dismissive of their complaints."

Releasing something you know is half-baked isn't courage. Nice try though.

Do not ask a language model questions involving reasoning, factuality, or moral judgment. Language is a vehicle for those, but it is not the SOURCE of them. And there is an enormous amount of language in the public sphere that’s devoid of them—and that trained the models.

> Im Januar 2010 schlug das Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz vor, den Atommüll komplett aus dem maroden Lager zu bergen. Die Optionen einer Einbetonierung der Fässer oder ein Umlagern der Fässer in tiefere Schichten waren zuvor verworfen worden. Im Jahr 2033 sollte mit der Bergung begonnen werden. Dazu wird es nun wohl nicht mehr kommen.
