You don’t use search? Like you don’t use duckduckgo or anything?

“A traditional Google search is still best for the simple act of looking for things to do nearby, but AI Mode could prove to be a nifty tool for more tedious tasks like product research for online shopping — an instant chart comparing baby car seats is helpful, even if imperfect. Just always check the answers.”

Exactly my experience. I don’t understand people who go to chatgpt first.

enshitify before the IPO

I always see it after. Because then the suits take over and it becomes a mandate to increase profits quarterly for the share holders. IPOs want to show happy users to sell the idea of future revenue from milking those users.

Yeah. It can be set on or off as default when CC is activated.

You absolutely can judge your own behavior when you are impaired

By the time you realized it you were already impaired. That’s why professional drivers have a schedule. It’s not up to them to decide for themselves that they could go longer.

I have a Toyota with lane assist and it doesn’t. The “lane assist” is part of cruise control. It’s off by default.

I love it because it removes a little of the mental load giving me more time to scan the road for potential problems.

Off by default should be the default.

That’s easier said than done. You can’t judge your own behavior when impaired because you are impaired. By the time you are aware you are that tired, you’ve already been impaired for a long time.

. Sure, the technology would be there and people would run amateur ip networks, or secretly piggyback of official uses, but it would be more like the dark net / tor than what actually happened.

The early Internet was exactly like Tor and darknet. Before DNS servers were ubiquitous, I’d go to an ftp site every morning that kept hosts lists and downloaded a hosts file to give me names matched to ip addresses. If darknet was the norm, a darknet DNS would be created and it would be the “Internet” but on different protocols.

The only scenario I can imagine is something like North Korea where people are so poor that they don’t have access to computers/phones which allows the government to restrict Internet to official cafes.

While it could be interesting, I don’t think it’s realistic. Before everyone had Internet, there was Fidonet. Trolls were on BBS FidoNet.

Before FidoNet there were Ham radio operators relaying across the world. There were Trolls on Ham when Ham was used by many during the 1970’s CB craze.

There is something inherently cool about communicating with people across the globe. So a few technical people make it happy and the masses use it.

So any communication medium evolves into an Internet even if the underlying technology is different.

The best you could realistically do is assume something causes an bandwidth limit of say 9600 bps. There would still be an Internet with all the problems but it would be text based.

That is not really true. Yes, there are jump instructions being executed when you run interference on a model, but they are in no way related to the model itself.

The model is data. It needs to be operated on to get information out. That means lots of JMPs.

If someone said viewing a gif is just a bunch of if-else’s, that’s also true. That the data in the gif isn’t itself a bunch of if-else’s isn’t relevant.

Executing LLM’S is particularly JMP heavy. It’s why you need massive fast ram because caching doesn’t help them.

Given that the weights in a model are transformed into a set of conditional if statements (GPU or CPU JMP machine code), he’s not technically wrong. (Of course, it’s more than just JMP and JMP represents the entire class of jump commands like JE and JZ. Something needs to act on the results of the TMULs.)

AI didn’t write the insurance policy. It only helped him search for the best deal. That’s like saying your insurance company will cancel you because you used a phone to comparison shop.

It’s still big for kids. At least one kid per class did a laser tag birthday every year throughout elementary school.

During the 90’s water usage limits were placed on toilets. Instead of improving the design, manufacturers only made the tanks smaller which didn’t provide enough flushing force.

Anything more than one piece of toilet paper could cause a clog.

Current toilets use a larger flush valve or multiple flaps for a more powerful flush than a 1970’s toilet while using half the water.

I could talk toilets for hours. When I bought my house I spent a week pulling the 6 toilets out, scrubbing them outside, installing all new hardware and gaskets then reinstalling. -Only to find they were all horrible toilets.

I started replacing them one by one trying different brands and options. My favorite is the Champion one piece. It’s a beast to install because it’s literally one giant piece of porcelain. But that also means less chance for a leak in 30 years.

I’m sure Google does monetize the gps data instantly, then throws it away rather than save old data that only costs money to respond to government requests.

This is a case where privacy is economically beneficial to Google.

It doesn’t matter that they have no basis for a lawsuit. Nintendo starts a lawsuit, no matter how ridiculous, and the developer has to pay a lawyer to defend or they lose to default judgement.

The US isn’t like EU. Everyone pays their own costs whether you win or lose. If you win, you can then start a new lawsuit to recover legal costs but that costs more money and you aren’t guaranteed to recover the money.

Edit: I don’t understand the downvote. It’s exactly how the US system works. I experienced it with a contractor. Contractor took the money and didn’t finish. I sued and won. He then sued saying he was owed all that money back for absolutely no reason. Of course it didn’t even go to trial but I still had to pay my lawyer to defend myself. Otherwise it would have been a default judgement for him.

There’s no precedent. Nintendo sues, the developer doesn’t have money for lawyers to defend themselves so they remove it.

That’s how it’s been going for a long time.

The device only was for privacy. When the data was stored in the cloud, the government had unrestricted access. By making it device only they need to get your device to get that data.

There’s no privacy concern. They sent you the tablet so you could watch the training video. They need to know you watched the instructional video so that’s not a privacy intrusion.

Watch the video and turn it off.
