Weird how TikTok doesn’t have this problem. That is why you are being downvoted

I think it's a bad take to compare a user's desires from a product to the goals of a CEO. The fact that Instagram is a $400 billion dollar company doesn't automatically mean that their algorithm is flawless or that it always serves the user's interests.
Consider the impact of algorithmic bias and how it can influence what content users see or don't see. Companies prioritize profits over user satisfaction or privacy, which is why it's important for users to be aware of how their data is being used and to demand transparency from these companies.
Users should have the right to use Instagram in the way that they choose, without being forced to see certain content or having their data manipulated for the benefit of a company's bottom line

Yeah. No shit. I asked for a recipe and it tasted awful. But it was pretty confident about it.
But it was great at generating 12 paragraphs of background filler about how it happened upon this delightful recipe while rock climbing in a made-up country.
Turns out natural language models are great at generating natural language.

I think this link has another link has a small abstract of what you sent me in English.
says that average of 5 billion euro loss per plant.
might be the same but in English?? https://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.670578.de/dwr-19-30.pdf

Sounds like Metaverse is going to be huge in Columbia. Maybe the metaverse will be Colombia's Orkut.

Reply to Caught between Microsoft's and Google's search war, the ad industry grapples with a 'exciting and terrifying' new reality by marketrent
There is no search war. 19 years after the Microsoft CEO swore to kill Google, their efforts to compete are still a rounding error. The billions spent on the attempt could have solved world hunger, polio, Guinea Worm and built a human colony on Mars.

This is actually pretty interesting. I read over your couple of pages you sent me.
As far as safety margins, I'm not sure. I know that the highest I have ever seen on mine was in the low 400 volt range, but I also know the newer Model S has a 500 volt configuration, and the model 3 is approximately 350 volts. I know that they wouldn't run the connector right up to its tolerance, or I think even within 25% of it. That with the model 3 is part of what really surprises me, though. I'm not sure how they are pulling that off, if maybe the model 3 connector is slightly different of the car end. I have looked at mine in detail obviously, but it's old now. I'm still somewhat impressed every time I see much over 100kw (seen low 120s), at over 300 amps at 400 volts. I don't use the supercharger often, though.

But me going out to buy masks is a me problem, not a societal one. Society lied and said "Don't wear masks, they are useless!" and I said "I don't believe you" and wore masks.
Some people followed societies ill informed guidance, some people mocked it, some people just shrugged and did what worked for them because you can't trust a politicized agenda to actually know what's best for anyone but themselves. I'm in group c. The government was wrong, and I as a nurse could see it laughably so, and chose to take care of myself. Funnily enough, it worked.

Remember the "blogosphere", where one's contribution had to be intellectually sound and factually backed, or you'd get called on your bullshit by someone else who was? (paging Dan Rather...)
Halcyon indeed.

I don't know if reddit lets you filter subs, but Libreddit lets you filter out subs you don't want to ever encounter again.

This is the topic here:
> One of the biggest concerns is that if AI-powered search engines provide all the information people need without them having to click through to any websites, it will reduce traffic and ad revenue for publishers.
No site visiting => no content creation => no reliable information.

Reply to comment by ElementNumber6 in New tech could bring affordable, hyper realistic screens with 1000+ Hz refresh rates by Sorin61
A micro led will likely never be as cheap to manufacture as these will (simply due to complexity) nor will they be as long lasting. It’s impossible due to both physics and thermodynamics.
I will gladly bore you with the actual science if you want (I teach materials science engineering), but I’m not going to type a long long response if you’re not interested 😀.
I’ll add one caveat, because I can’t access the actual research yet (yay peer review!) if the research team did what they claim to have done, this is a multibillion dollar patent in the works!

I want this to be true, but I don't think it is. Tesla's margins are really high compared to legacy Auto makers. I honestly wish Elon would disappear in a puff of smoke, but I have not seen anything that seems to indicate that the company is actually going to start losing money soon. Even if they never roll out fsd release (aka not beta). Unless he sucks money out of the car business and into the robot business? But I don't think that's currently happening at a level to kill the entire company.
I do agree however that legacies will catch up. I think Ford's ev looking like a regular truck is a stroke of genius that will actually propel the masses towards EVs rather than only targeting nerdy demographics. Rivian looks great too. So do the Audi e Tron variants and the latest Nissan leaf and ariya. The list goes on. I think the legacies will catch up on mass production of EVs, but new platforms and new assembly lines are expensive and Tesla does have 10 years of amortizing those costs. I don't think Tesla's going to disappear when they have strong price gouging capabilities and strong price undercutting capabilities.
