Ah, indeed:

Today, more than a quarter of all new code at Google is generated by AI, then reviewed and accepted by engineers. This helps our engineers do more and move faster.

Sounds like bs to me, comes across as marketing talk to promote their AI offerings.

That’s the intention behind that back to work decision.

Have you had CPR training? What you stated isn’t true. Every second counts. But looking up instructions and seeing a easy video will still help massively.

im qualified enough to know better

Maybe if you make YouTube videos you’d achieve that.

Regarding experts, there’s so many topics where experts are ignored.

Renewables are cheaper than coal. And the replacement wasn’t limited to gas and coal. There are articles which explained that there wasn’t a massive increase in e.g. coal usage.

The CNN article article also briefly puts a high figure for coal on energy, which could lead to confusion.

My budget is maximum $50

There’s a Dutch weather man who reviews a crazy amount of earbuds as a hobby. They’re all Bluetooth ones though. I found that you get better quality for a similar price if you get a wired one.

Anyway, recommend that you check out https://www.scarbir.com/

He has lists per price range, but also recommendations per usage type. E.g. I bought ones that were less affected by wind noise (during a call).

No clue how long scams usually last, but famous ones easily last multiple decades, though funny how unclear if is when the scam started:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madoff_investment_scandal?wprov=sfla1

Federal investigators believe the fraud in the investment management division and advisory division may have begun in the 1970s. However, Madoff himself stated his fraudulent activities began in the 1990s. Madoff’s fraudulent activities are believed to have accelerated after the 2001 change from fractional share trades to decimals on the NYSE, which cut significantly into his legitimate profits as a market-maker.

Alerted by his sons, federal authorities arrested Madoff on December 11, 2008.

Then explain why this is a global phenomenon?

Because the same causes are happening mostly all over the world. Meaning, buying up houses. Driving up rent, etc.

If housing supply is sufficiently elastic

But it takes ages to build houses. You’re again blaming something that’s a given just to ignore that housing is a basic need. Obviously if the basic need is manipulated there’s loads of money to be made.

I mean, Apple was never innovative, so you surely can get something better somewhere else?

That wasn’t stated by this person, no? It is a common fallacy to disprove a claim that wasn’t made.

Ah, so pay for premium to support creators, but if you support creators in another way then that’s bad because… reasons.

To. Support. The. Creators. I. Watch.

Did you ask those creators how much money they get? Loads of them make way more from inserting advertisements themselves.

It’s also telling that you’re saying it’s about supporting those creators while responding negatively towards the person who blocks ads and gives money directly.

YouTube doesn’t report their expenses.

But you said they aren’t making a profit. And you could see their revenue heavily increased in the last few years. So something has to give.

YouTube has been running on a loss

Can you look to that? They only seem to share revenue, not profit. And profit is easily manipulated. Apparently they had 29 billion USD in revenue in 2023. There was a huge growth in revenue. I don’t see why you really claim that they’re making a loss.

But that doesn’t get rid of the ads, it just get rid of some. Sponsorblock would still be needed. Why pay a huge amount for something ineffective?

This isn’t Rust specific. It’s really difficult to securely start a command in Windows. I highly recommend to read https://flatt.tech/research/posts/batbadbut-you-cant-securely-execute-commands-on-windows/.

If you wire things, use keystones. I didn’t know that standard. Makes it much easier to have ethernet. My house had non standard keystone type things. Those are sort expensive, I replaced them with keystones just not have to deal with anything other than keystones in future.

Jesus christ these headlines mislead everything.

One article included how often employees needed to look at the cameras. That was the case in something like 80% of the times people went in to shop.

The goal was to train ML enough so that humans were rarely necessary, obviously.

The headline is pretty accurate. That might have been the goal, but they didn’t come close. And now they are closing down those stores.

Seems that they utterly failed in the goal.

Machine learning has lots of errors until you train it.

These stores were open for a pretty long time. It’s not a given that it’s just a matter of training.

That’s already the case in at least the Netherlands.
