I’ll be honest, I’m very confused about what you mean when you say that Google Wallet isn’t a thing. I pay with my Android phone everywhere, so ubiquitously that I’ve frequently left the house with just my phone and keys.
Do you mean America, where contactless payment is far less frequently accepted, or the concept of clicking on a “Pay with Google Wallet” style prompt on a website?
I enjoyed reading this, thank you.
Certainly sounds more interesting than my original read of it! Sorry about that, I was grumpy.
I don’t understand how you could understand how LLMs work, and then write this.
Machines can learn that…
Ah, nevermind.
If you’ll excuse me saying, I feel that you are the one who is looking at something and extrapolating.
The things you are describing sound like if-statement levels of automation, GitHub Actions with preprogrammed responses rather than LLM whatever.
If you’re worrying about being replaced by that… Go find the code, read it, and feel better.
Yes, people are being forced to use it if they want to, for instance, search using Google or Bing.
As the parent comment suggested, or there’s no way to opt out, currently.
I’m glad you see value in it; I think the injection of LLM queries into search results I want to contain accurate results (and nothing more) a useless waste of power.
Yeah, what’s the jokey parable thing?
A CTO is at lunch when a call comes in. There’s been a huge outage, caused by a low level employee pressing the wrong button.
“Damn, you going to fire that guy?”
“Hell no, do you know how much I just spent on training him to never do that again?”
(</Blah>)
The Xreal Air~, or the just-being-released Xreal Air 2 Ultra, is potentially that.
Oled displays and cameras for tracking objects and hands.
Edit: also just saw this
I think you’re on the wrong community for this question.
The thing regularly referred to as “AI” of late is more accurately referred to as generative AI, or large language models. There’s no capacity for learning from humans, it’s pattern matching based on large sets of data that are boiled down to a series of vectors to give a most-likely next word for a response to a prompt. You could argue that that’s what people do, but that’s a massive over simplification. You’re right to say it does not have the ability to form thoughts and views. That said, like a broken clock, an LLM can put out words that match up with existing views pretty darn easily!
You may be talking about general AI, which is something we’ve not seen yet and have no timeframe for existing. That may be able to have beliefs… But again, there’s not even a suggestion of that being close to happening. LLMs are (in my opinion) not even a good indicator or precursor to that coming soon.
TL;DR: An LLM (or generative AI) can’t have or form beliefs.
To be clear, that thirty percent was the going rate for stores back when Steam started - not just since 2019.
I don’t know where you’re getting the 15-20 percent thing.
I got a first generation badgy, and it had an issue that prevented it working with the battery.
Sqfmi said they’d sent out a replacement part to fix it, but never got back to me.
I love the ideas they have, but I don’t trust them.

That’s just not how LLMs work, bud. It doesn’t have understanding to improve, it just munges the most likely word next in line. It, as a technology, won’t advance past that level of accuracy until it’s a completely different approach.
To me, the difference there is that the jokes about snake oil and homeopathy, healing crystals, or essential oils are roughly the same - e.g. “what do you call X that works and has been peer reviewed? Medicine.”
So far, there has been no equivalent positive usage in the crypto sphere. Medicine, though often administered to different levels, is a good idea in itself.
Actually, for most uses of crypto it’s attempting to muddle in and “add” value to a previous known-good thing. Is the comparison here that crypto is snake oil currency, snake oil databases, or snake oil contracts? In every case, to me, crypto is the snake oil salesman trying to sell you the brighter tomorrow - without adding anything positive, and often getting the heck out of dodge (or folding a company and moving on to, e.g. LLMs) before delivering on promises.
Out of interest, have you seen the recent headlines around Windows 11 stopping working on unsupported hardware that it had been installed on anyway?
Or, to use your example, reviews that don’t understand the product or play it for laughs. 😅
Hold up. Digital zoom is, in all the cases I’m currently aware of, just cropping the available data. That’s not reconstruction, it’s just losing data.
Otherwise, yep, I’m with you there.
I don’t think loss is what people are worried about, really - more injecting details that fit the training data but don’t exist in the source.
Given the hoopla Hollywood and directors made about frame-interpolation, do you think generated frames will be any better/more popular?
But it’s a hellishly expensive thing that seems to not attract enjoyment from current Firefox users, and seems unlikely to bring new users, and (again) seems to be prioritised over other things that could better use the money, like developers, so…
Why.
I have the same problem, and honestly I can just about force the thin side of the floss between my teeth but it’ll get stuck sometimes (as the tight part is the top of the tooth), which is just not great.
The brushes, which I was excited for and bought the smallest size of, will only fit under the problem area - and are uncomfy.
So I use them to clean electronics 😅
