They did implement this option last year, even prioritizing in search based on total cost. They made a big deal out of it: https://news.airbnb.com/airbnb-is-introducing-total-price-di...

I don't think this reflects any gaps between MS and OpenAI capabilities, I speculate the differences could be because of the following issues: 1. Despite it's ability, ChatGPT was heavily policed and restricted - it was a closed m

Unlike Azure and Amazon, Google doesn't have to rely on Nvidia GPUs for training and inference, they achieved significant performance gains by using their custom TPUs.

Yeah it didn't make a lot of sense in most of continental United States and maybe that's why most of Loon's initial deployment testing was in Africa with sparser terrestrial network. Starlink definitely changed the rules and

I know people who worked at Loon. It certainly wasn't shut down because of the lawsuit. It was pretty much because of X's move fast approach and they didn't think Loon would make money anytime soon. They killed another one of

Probably not, but also my personal experience says that you can't really replicate things just always from the patent. There's always some secret sauce to get things to work. The question is what exactly did Loon sell when they sh

The difference is the extent of adaptation, especially in the business space. You zelle a friend, sure, yet almost everyone I know use either Venmo or cash app (neither of which are interoperable). Everyone in India uses UPI with different

It's also party because India has a robust ecosystem of local companies that handle payments, including real-time payment methods such as UPI that are specific to the country and these are already well integrated into Amazon.in Honestl

At the rate people are using ChatGPT, there won't really be a search engine to do SEO if ChatGPT and competition keeps getting better. If chatbots become popular, the ad space would go from search engine to product placement in chatbot

Nah it's not just you. UPS always delivers at my door, respects signature requests, and follows the settings I set in my UPS app. It's annoying sometimes that they knock once and leave with a notice but it's still better than

There are many ways companies might try to get some ad money in a ChatGPT setting: obvious and non-obvious product placement in the answer. Q. Find me the best italian restaurant in New York. A. It's likely subjective - let's jus

In reality I noticed that while it helps in maintaining the set temperature in a given room, it ends up over heating or cooling some of the other rooms. Unless you have controllable vents like this https://flair.co/pages&#x2

The timing of the exploit seems perfect too. People always say folks deploy malware around Christmas time since that’s when developers are less likely to notice it due to holidays but it’s my first time see it happen (probably after the lar

Fun read! I’m curious about the part where you discussed changing surroundings while keeping the car same - are KBB images user uploaded or taking in a garage/controlled setting like Carvana?

I refuse to go with the narrative from Verge - they have a ‘use Elon and his companies to get more clicks’ attitude and outright lie in their articles to fit their narrative.

When the total distance traveled for the shortest vs fastest option is very high, Google always shows both the options (or at least, some versions of them). I think safest route is hard to define, especially given that the data is not dense

You think there’s nothing fundamentally new about the Nest, but it arguably changed the home smart thermostat industry and people love it. People loved it even before Google acquired them so you can’t even argue it’s because of cost or mark

If you ever actually look into Unstable diffusion Kickstarter, you’ll notice that they’re not actually claiming they’ll manually label a dataset the size of Laion-5B - that’s a much bigger task than what you seem to think it is. Even if a m

The key is the scale of the dataset. Both the points you mention become irrelevant for a large dataset because 1) The chance that a significant percentage of the images become unavailable is low. Also, training on such a big dataset means y

I hope ChatGPT in its current form will not be used for search. As my friend says it, ChatGPT is not intelligent, it’s just capable of creating responses like it’s knows everything. The things it hallucinates is likely going to spread misin
