The article explained it fairly well. Re-iterating the credit card churning example: people will spend a lot of time optimizing their credit card spend, to end up with maybe a few hundred dollars in savings per year. Working 10 hours of o

You are reading too much into choice of term. The author explains their rationale for using "vanity" quite clearly: > In business, a “vanity metric” is a statistic that sounds good but is not very useful. It's not about yo

The thing about writing is that there are dozens of reasons to do it, "it's fun" being one of them.

I have never seen "e2ee" abused this way personally.

You could have a classifier running on-device that sends summary data (rather than raw images) back to Kohler.

If you have bought consent, you have power.

by fastball 11mo ago
Then surely GC would've only needed to say "power"?

They are not intrinsically connected. Not everyone who is wealthy is powerful, not everyone who is powerful is wealthy.

Quite the leap to go from "pre-industrial people" to "Antebellum US Southerners", and even then the majority of that (hyperspecific) group did not own slaves.

They're not that close (on things like LMArena) and being cheaper is pretty meaningless when we are not yet at the point where LLMs are good enough for autonomy.

So provide one that "makes a mistake" instead.

What was all this free time spent doing in the pre-industrial era?

You don't think cancer is an expensive disease to treat? You don't think it involves a lot of inputs?

Vitess (sharded MySQL) is how they became relevant. But broadly they've spent a lot of time making a great DaaS. There plan is to do the same with Postgres.

Having $1 bills is so much nicer than having $1 coins. I don't want more coins, thanks.

I have no idea, but they're so good at some stuff we had to start using a new acronym (AGI) in order to compensate. I certainly don't think LeCun has a better idea.
