Chrome did this, and there was a huge outcry. Even though local AI is much better for privacy.

I'm very thrown by the "hidden Buy box" argument. I thought Amazon did that on purpose to hide overpriced items from the wild west that is Amazon's marketplace/sellers. So a t-shirt for $100 gets no Buy box because it's overpriced.

The video argues that this creates a monopoly.

Microsoft Edge has had this for some time. I was surprised, but Edge is pretty modern.

Isn't higher frames per second good? You wouldn't want a video game to intentionally limit itself to 24 fps. Isn't motion smoothing more realistic?

Does anyone have a suggestion for PDF redacting? It's the only thing I need Acrobat for. And when I need it, it's very important.

Too bad Discord can't be searched. There's lots of information trapped on Discord.

I gave up on it during season one. Is it really worth continuing it? It started to not hold my interest.

This is also useful for having a type that needs to be verified in some way before being used or trusted. UnverifiedLoginCookie vs. VerifiedLoginCookie

This optimization option isn't on by default? That sounds like a lot of missed optimization. Most programs aren't going to be loading from shared libraries.

Maybe I can set this option at work. Though it's scary because I'd have to be certain.

I don't think this article is very well-written. It gets confused about whether QUIC has a handshake or not (it does). And it conflates zero round-trip time with combining the TCP/TLS handshakes together.

I've struggled to find a Software Engineer job for many months, even with FAANG on my resume. It's nowhere as easy as it was when I graduated college 7 years ago.

I send out my resume and barely get any answers. I don't even get a chance to interview.

That being said, I had a good luck streak in December! I'm waiting to hear back from several companies right now.

If I start now and start reading up on AI, will I become anything close to an expert?

I'm worried that I'm starting a journey that requires a Master's or PhD.

Are deep learning and neural networks just curve fitting? I thought those were significantly different.

I came here with the same question. After reading and learning these materials, will I have new job skills or AI knowledge that I can do something with?

OpenAI Gym looks incredibly interesting. Aren't those games supposed to be solved using neural nets?

I'm running through Andrew Ng's "Machine Learning Specialization" course on Coursera right now. I plan to do his "Deep Learning Specialization" immediately after.

There's not a lot of formulas and math so far, which concerns me because I eventually want to understand papers.

David Mazières added adaptive hash difficulty? 25 years ago?!

He helped with Stellar's consensus protocol and is still involved now. https://stellar.org/
