And what is the content people scroll to? And how does one become a celebrity in the first place on IG or TikTok? And what teens do all day long? Yep, sharing their live. I share your experience, but for me it is just the one of a millennia

Not only sensors: in Europe I don’t see how driving in small towns could be possible without communicating with other drivers and pedestrians, and reading custom signs. Maybe add a robotic hand to the list of required hardware.

See this is exactly what is wrong with “this time it’s different” here. AI has been useful and used for decades (but under a different name because the term was tainted by previous bubbles). Look at the section “AI behind the scenes” here

What’s the point if the capacity to deploy good products has been lost in the process? What if what you see as unreliable was at the hearth of what enabled great things to happen. This is a typical caveat of a programmer centric organizatio

You care indirectly because if the articles are search engine optimized it means they are gaming the search engine by being artificially ranked higher. It’s the role of the search engine to find relevant content to your question impartially

I don’t find any mention of this on the study. But even if there was you realize how insignificant that signal is compared to everything else right? From personal anecdotes to any married bald man it’s trivial to show it’s irrelevant. Like

For me it makes sense when you start to see Chrome as an OS. Developers use Chrome specific API, which means the apps are not web apps, but Chrome apps (and the developers Chrome developers). Sure the Chrome (OS) is cross platform so it’s a

This is irrelevant for safety, the parent is talking about a child population potentially more at risk. A lifeguard's job is not sociology or history.

I think this a consequence of the open-source marketing strategy of big tech companies and commercialization the parent talked about. When developers use open-source, most of the time maintainers are paid and it’s part of their job, and of

Price is a marketing choice, EU manufacturers (with a few exceptions) are choosing to position EV cars at the high end of their offering and brand them as high tech for high margins. More largely EU manufacturers currently have the problem
