That’s not at all now this works. It’s a convenient myth for senior executives to absolve themselves of their own failure to build incentives and sustainable culture. Managers don’t get headcount without allocation. It needs to be budgeted

Just like facebook is giving away LLMs to hurt google, they are giving advice to hurt unity. Solid indirect fire

Most of their losses was in the last 1.5 years. They actually could have been profitable. They are not sustainable because of mismanagement and massively failed bets. “We got greedy but don’t worry, you’ll pay for it” doesn’t have the best

They miscalculated, which is a risk with investments. Miscalculated badly and executed worse. They bet on ads and ads is not the growth market it used to be. They bought IronSource and their main competitor, AppLovin is kicking their ass. T

Missteps implies accidents. This was not accidental, it was an attempt at extracting rent - retroactively.

TSMC is diversified, they are basically an index. Everything from cars to medical devices to household electronics to AI uses their chips. This is why Nvidia can soar while TSMC barely moves. We know winter is coming. The signs are all ther

You’ll be surprised how many people you can surveil with StateGPT don’t laugh - it’s vastly more accurate than xKeyScore and other keyword reliant systems and it has the ability to catch meaning, even if you speak somewhat obfuscated. Not p

I think it’s a global phenomenon. We are seeing a rise of fascism across the globe, the policy and leadership choices made by key parties in the largest western countries is not seem like they learned from the 1920s at all Most nuclear arme

Kinda like making google SERP infinite scroll. It creates enshittification incentives they won’t be able to resist when growth stops.

Midjourney trades flexibility for consistent quality and consumer accessibility. An optimized XL model in the hands of an expert beats it, handily. And Adobe sells to experts, not consumers for the most part.

by gmerc 3y ago
even consumer GPUs have massive generational speedup. In the mid term, cloud will be hard pressed unless Nvidia aims at depressing consumers (leaving themselves open to attacks from everyone else on that market segment)

My theory is that newer installers will troll the registry and try to phone home about anything you did.. That’s the only way you could roll this out without the capabilities for tracking in most present games. at least on windows.

Install tracking is impossible. Especially unique install tracking.

Anyone who knows what’s going on in the Minecraft server scene knows it won’t even need competitors for that.. There is so much wrong here: - “Trust us we figured our install measurements” is insane. We all worked on this for decades, it’s
