Do we draw a distinction between building a DB for ICE deportations and providing AI services to governments that use it to target and kill civilians?

Google and Microsoft do the latter

Useful to consider how many accounts that are not high profile were deleted and if these high profile accounts were a casualty ofa much more aggressive attempt to silence a segment of voices then then next question is, what is the criteria being used?

there's a difference between rate limiting the amount of posts you make (to avoid spam) and rate limiting the amount of posts you read

> 8 cups of solid food but intestines can comfortably only process 2-3 cups of food at a time

this is really interesting, do you have any additional references on this?

the cool thing is that written Arabic, for the most part, does not suffer from that. A speaker can pick up a book written in the 11th century and find that the grammar, words, structure are all consistent and understandable.

it isn't like English and something like the The Canterbury Tales

removing some layers of management is not the same as removing all managers. this google writeup discusses removing all managers

R&D is an investment not a loss. It might be the case Meta is wasting money and isn't finding a viable path to a product, but that is yet to be determined.

do we see headlines describing how much Alphabet has "lost" on Waymo? or how much Toyota has "lost" on EV development?

why fall for that framing here?

this would be the headline: "callous tech company lays off tech company then trials unvetted chat bots on them"

along with all the examples of it giving awful advice

has anyone ever used the term "code request" in this context before?

isn't this exactly why it is more expensive? less supply because of the formula, the formula is more expensive to make --> so higher prices

at this scale, the ml models are usually compiled into a format that runs independent of python. so the answer isn't "python"

Meta has sold a single bond, in August of 2022. That isn't a pattern and it isn't enough for them to be "known to sell bonds to buy back stock"

FB MAUs in US/CA are most of the population: https://www.statista.com/statistics/247614/number-of-monthly...

and still growing. it is isn't unreasonable for that growth to be slower than less penetrated regions.

but that still doesn't produce a conclusion of collapse

that facebook has such a high percentage of users in the most profitable parts of the world, doesn't connect with the posts claim that users are leaving

this guy might want to include data about facebook user number, dau / mau, instead of stock numbers. facebook itself, not even counting insta or whatsapp, continues to grow. it is hard to claim a "collapse" if the user base is growing

You overestimate the size of the app store. It is big, but that doesn't mean the remaining 37% of app economy is small.

> iOS was responsible for 63% of total app revenue in 2021
