Yes, to take it from OP's example - I'm pretty sure people just search 'pizza' and expect Google to understand that they are probably looking for pizza near them.

And then google changes something in the Captcha code and it stops working, then you change solve libraries and then you get it back up but need more complex hosting infra because solves take 10 seconds and you have to simulate human behavi

The $888 billion profit figure seems suspect - Google annual profit is currently $30.7B so that's almost 30 years of profit at current run-rate.

I think there is a bug here... 8888888×965 = 965 according to this site with temperature = 0 or 3.63... with temperature = 1 On the other hand, GPT4 gets it correct: https://chatgpt.com/share/34007f39-cfa8-46c8-bda3-9f6

> But I can understand why they made the change they did. The data was being abused. Depends how you see it - if you see it as 'their' data (legally true) or if you see it as user content (how their users would likely see it).

I’m not sure that’s what login-walled means (ie I can access pricing and booking pages without logging in) If you search on google you are also agreeing to their terms, there just isn’t a checkbox.

The failure rate that is “sufficient” will obviously change based on the use case. No, I might not want AI summarising my medical records right now, but I might be quite happy for it to summarise a blog post for me.

Yes, I was at a company that moved an application from Cobol to Java for exactly that purpose - having a mission critical application written in cobol is way harder to maintain than having that exact same application in Java.

While software is often warranted, contracts won't often accept liability in terms of business damages etc, and that's not usually a requirement for compliance. If it was, it would also make it impractical for a small business to

With return rates at about 15%, a good rule of thumb is probably going to be that about 10% of what you get sent will have been returned by someone else already. It's way worse for clothing items, but what else are you going to do? You

It depends if your model is to sell to schools, or if your model is to become schools.

Most people are pretty comfortable copying and pasting arbitrary commands they find on google and don't understand into the terminal, so I'm not convinced this is any worse.

Well you can transfer the ticket to someone else for free anyway, so not really an issue. Or you can transfer it to another name and print it out - just the name on Ticketmaster's system has to match some ID you have in the print scena

They needed reliable connectivity in the previous scenario (checking barcodes against a central db) - they just setup a local private wifi network for the handsets and all the venue devices. Otherwise I can't see how you would avoid re

I doubt the second bit is true - they will still be marking the ticket as used in their backend. They are just trying to prevent scalpers printing off tickets 10 times and selling them outside the venues as a scam, which happened at every l

Like I say, the question assumes that you have options. At worst, you can answer about why you applied for that job and not others that are equally paid, even if they are in other industries (eg you got into programming because you like pro

It’s not asking “why do you want to work”, it’s asking “why us, and not someone else”. The question assumes that you have a choice of multiple people you could work for. Why do you want to work for an indie game studio and not EA? Why backe

I assume OP means slower on like-for-like hardware, rather than slower when run on a PC from the 90s, but to be fair the WinForms/WPF component of old GUI's was very fast even on legacy hardware.

Fun product, but I put in a startup idea and it suggested pivoting it IoT. Then I click back and changed my idea to include IoT, then it criticized me for including IoT unnecessarily! Still a really fun project :)

Amazing! I’m trying to make a WMS that’s very easy to customise (rather than configure) - will come with a highly opinionated set of base processes but then will be built in a way that it’s incredibly easy to edit them (rather than building

Looks great! If you did do something related to truck fill, would be great to see if it could be generalised to 3D bin packing. I’m currently working a free / open source warehouse management system so great to see other people working

Well belt conveyor definitely isn't the right approach - it's about 1.5-2x more expensive than other types of pallet conveyor (e.g. chain) and is difficult to maintain (snapped belts etc). Line shaft is another option, but has sim

I don't have experience with Google Sheets, but it's definitely an issue in Excel with complex sheets. It's more of an issue when you have a few 100k lines and lots of layers of different lookups etc.

It probably will be in reality - pallet conveyor is too slow and expensive, so it’s most likely that this would be an electric monorail system or similar. (I work in logistics automation design, 310 miles of traditional pallet chain conveyo
