realharo,

I guess the ones they stopped just weren’t covert enough.

realharo,

Trains are expensive to run if you don’t have enough passengers (like in small villages).

realharo,

That’s trivial to filter if you just look at how much time has passed between posting and editing. Reddit comments are only very rarely updated after more than a day.

realharo,

If users have the “I can always upgrade later” option, that screws with the purchases of the higher end models “just in case I need it in the future”.

"Peace can only come when Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity are restored:" Italy’s president says Russia’s invasion of Ukraine can’t be solved by rewarding Moscow’s aggression (apnews.com)

Italy’s president told the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine can’t be solved by rewarding its aggression and peace can only come when Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity are restored....

realharo,

Peace treaty signed, then Russia invades 2 years later anyway and takes over everything?

Another advantage is that it doesn’t force people to initially buy the higher version because “what if I end up needing it in the future” (like what Apple forces you to do with non-upgradable storage), even if you never do. It lets you buy the cheaper version for now, with the possibility to change your mind later.

realharo,

Which is exactly like the “camera collabs” that phone makers sometimes do that end up being nothing more than marketing gimmicks.

Like the OnePlus camera “by Hasselblad” that is quality wise the same as any other smartphone camera in that price category.

Flutter - the framework - is great. Dart as a language is tolerable - lot of ugly boilerplate, manual codegen, and things you can’t quite express correctly are everywhere, but if you’re not too much of a stickler, Flutter is still worth it (at least until Compose Multiplatform matures - if ever).

Instagram Advertises Nonconsensual AI Nude Apps (www.404media.co)

Instagram is profiting from several ads that invite people to create nonconsensual nude images with AI image generation apps, once again showing that some of the most harmful applications of AI tools are not hidden on the dark corners of the internet, but are actively promoted to users by social media companies unable or...

realharo,

Shouldn’t AI be good at detecting and flagging ads like these?

realharo,

Sounds like this was the strategy from the very beginning - get tons of attention with crazy unrealistic announcements, then later turn it into a boring old regular city after everyone already recognizes the name.

realharo,

With enough technological advances, they might be able to just switch to salt water.

It’s silly to imagine all these “way out there” scenarios without also imagining progress in other areas.

realharo,

It does - it’s also mentioned in the article.

There are many different types of capacitors, most of which don’t contain any liquid at all (including the most common type - ceramic capacitors).

But in general, you would use specially rated components and materials if you need them to last decades - not the cheapest most basic parts you can find.

Other types of implanted devices have dealt with the same things decades ago.

realharo,

Pretty sure these things need to be certified and there are laws about what parts you are and are not allowed to use.

Not saying highly regulated industries don’t ever have problems (look at Boeing), but it’s not like they can just arbitrarily decide to cut costs wherever.

realharo,

Some already give you a 30% “discount” (i.e. the regular price is just higher) if you sign up for an entire year.

I gave GPT-4 a simple real-world question about how much alcohol volume there is in a certain weight (I think 16 grams) of a 40% ABV drink (the rest being water) and it gave complete nonsense answers on some attempts, and straight up refused to answer on others.

So I guess it still comes down to how often things appear in the training data.

(the real answer is roughly 6.99ml, weighing about 5.52grams)

After some follow-up prodding, it realized it’s wrong and eventually provided a different answer (6.74ml), which was also wrong. With more follow-ups or additional prompting tricks, it might eventually get there, but someone would have to first tell it that it’s wrong.

realharo,

You have to go where the people are.

realharo,

The default now is that apps have to first request notification permissions, on both iOS and Android.

realharo,

At least Android also proactively asks them whether to disable notifications for an app if they always swipe them away, or if they haven’t used the app in a long time.

realharo,

The battery life of a typical switch can easily be like 5 years though.

Redditors Vent and Complain When People Mock Their "AI Art" (futurism.com)

Setting aside the usual arguments on the anti- and pro-AI art debate and the nature of creativity itself, perhaps the negative reaction that the Redditor encountered is part of a sea change in opinion among many people that think corporate AI platforms are exploitive and extractive in nature because their datasets rely on...

realharo,

I try to learn how to use AI

And exactly which part of this process could not be done by AI too?

Which part will still require hiring a human?

realharo, (edited )

That will not be a marketable skill, if the intended “customer”, who just wants the end product, can do all of that themselves.

There are already improvements being made in understanding the intent better, which will eventually render all “prompt engineering” unnecessary and obsolete.

The necessity to tweak prompts will be a very short-lived thing from these early days. At best it will give you an extra year or so.

Similarly if you picture yourself as an owner of a company - you cannot sell something to people that they can just make themselves with zero effort required. Especially in an environment with a million competitors. At best your moat could be the network effects of a large user base, but that’s not an easy place to get to.

realharo,

You are assuming that progress in AI capabilities will stall somewhere close to its present day state. Because today, a professional-made poster will still be better than one you can make yourself. But that won’t be the case forever.

This is more akin to how there used to be elevator operators vs. people just pressing a button themselves, or how people couldn’t easily book their own airline tickets without going through a travel agent, and now they just order them through a website.

realharo, (edited )

As someone has to mention and program those robots.

Why couldn’t an AI do that?

Someone has to create programs and games, someone has to maintain the infrastructure.

Same question.

Youtube videos and streaming became a job.

This will only work because of the parasocial aspect, and there will probably be strong competition from AI there too.

For every thing you imagine, simply ask yourself - will AI be able to do it better?

So far I haven’t heard anything convincing where the answer would be “no”.

This whole “giving inputs” argument is 100% leaning on today’s technological limitations.

With enough advancements, no input you could ever come up with will be able to compete with the automated ones - even if they are working from some very high level goal, like “make something people want” (to give a slightly exaggerated example).

Nobody’s going to pay you to utter the phrase “make something people want” (and it’s not competitive as a business either).

realharo, (edited )

If that’s the case, they need to stop with the deceptive marketing. Because they are absolutely outwardly promising career opportunities.
