What they should have done is enforce Caller ID identification labels for robocalls. For example, "Police Officers Benevolent Association [Robocall]".

Yes, it's that simple, but not really that simple. For example, Bard is embedded as a chatbot inside Google Messages (at least for some subset of beta users). Imho, this is a killer app sort of feature, but it hasn't been mention

This sort of issue holds with all kinds of prompts, on both platforms. I most recently (to test Bard's image generation capabilities) was asking Bard/Gemini to generate home designs using highly specific prompts -- layout of the

Honestly, I don't see why this counts as the model getting things wrong, since in your prompt you don't specify which side of the door the text is printed on.

Cryptonomicon and Anathem were what got me into Stephenson, and I loved both of those. Then I read Quicksilver and it held my attention, but I had a really hard time slogging through The Confusion and never made it to System of a World. O

That's amazing! I wonder if the solution technique has any bearing on potential improvements in diagnostic CT / MRI scans?

Two questions: 1. How is this different from something like DialogFlow? 2. It feels like, as a standalone product, this is really more of a feature of a more full-featured product suite. Either a cloud native CRM like Hubspot, or an embedd

A lot of these [expensive] incentives are already being wound down, and the ones under control of utilities (e.g. net metering) can radically impact the ROI of things like solar installations. It'll be interesting to see how things st

That's not apples to apples, though. Snowflake has 5,000 employees in the entire firm. The BQ Product+Eng+partnerships team is a fraction of that, and the SG&A functions are all shared services across all of Cloud, just like your

The problem with this (and I was also in an org that didn't get any headcount -- for several years) is that those non-growing teams often ultimately just wither and die, whether it's through internal transfer, attrition or layoff.

A lot of this has to do with parents' choices. Specifically, choices in where to live and how to raise their kids. It's still plenty possible to enable free, and free-ish playtime in the US, but teaching kids to respect risk has

I don't see why this seems strange. Heck, every time a corpse flower blooms (in the US, at least) it's publicized and frequently streamed on the web. https://wtop.com/local/2022/06/rare-exotic-and-v

The majority of what the rags do is not high quality, but a fraction of where they spend their time is. I'd put basically all of the NYTimes' Interactive work in that category -- here's an example I was just reading yesterda

It's not at all a collapse of journalism. It's a collapse of the print periodical with a content focus on topical current events. There just isn't a need for that specific kind of journalism anymore, and for the majority of

To tie this to the software development community, I used to work in electronics manufacturing for a company that provided services to defense contractors. The vast majority of my dev team (SWEs, PMs, QA, Ops) were offshore, split between

I would argue that relocating their HQ away from their engineering hub was done to "maximize" profits by colocating close to lawmakers & lobbyists. This goes hand in hand with corruption in what is a semi-nationalized industr

There are lower cost options. We did have to buy a new car (replaced a Toyota 4Runner with a Ford F150 Crew Cab) - our other car was already a Honda Odyssey - but all three of our kids share a bedroom and I bought a lightweight Helinox cot

That hasn't been my experience with Turo at all . I've rented via Turo several times in San Diego this past year, having started at the suggestion of a friend. Why? Because Turo can usually use short term parking, and that is

If you want to be pedantic in this way, SMS isn't free, either. You pay your carrier for access to that (and their servers and engineers to support & maintain it).

In that way, is it similar to Google bundling various Google 1P apps with AOSP images (not to mention partnership deals with various Android OEMs)?
