Personally, I have been very pleased with the results despite the limitations.

Like many (I suspect), I have had several users provide comments that the AI processes I have defined have made meaningful impacts on their daily lives - often saving them double digit hours of effort per week. Progress.


It seems that law-abiding citizens often bear the greatest risk by declaring their assets to tax authorities and relying on so-called "trusted custodians" for savings. Ironically, for many, the safest course of action is likely non-disclosure, though this is, of course, illegal in much of the world.


I only have to declare crypto < 1 year in my holding which means that, while technically illegal to buy 1 second after the new tax year start and not declaring it, in practice, obviously, no-one cares about that. Especially as crypto is not a 1 second buy; it can take hours.


Difficult situation. 5 MBPS was certainly better than nothing in the past...and yet the Sure business (now) appears largely obsolete with Starlink, Kuiper etc.


THis is something I worry about in rural NM. 3 local tribes just got a bit more than $20M for broadband infrastructure, and you have to ask ... as much as I hate Elon both before and after he went batshit insane, why not just use starlink? I mean, what justification can there be for putting in new wired infrastructure at this point?


Over a lifetime time scale, fiber will be the same price or cheaper than Starlink but 10x faster. Most people won't notice the performance difference and fiber takes years to install while Starlink is minutes.


Besides he other argument, from what I've heard starlink seems extremely very unreliable compared to fiber


In my experience, this is mostly a function of location. With a clear view of the sky, I've found it to be rock solid.

It is extremely sensitive to obstructions. A small tree branch with a handful of leaves on it will cause intermittent dropouts if it is between your terminal and a spacecraft.


I worked for signalbox.io and they had this for the London Underground ~8 years ago. There was some impressive maths / approaches behind all of the "magic".


clearly could be a problem...but you are really looking at feature extraction / terrain analysis and best guessing with what is available (little different to a human doing the same job). The main thing here is that storage is so cheap and light that these these systems become easily possible. Terrain, features + building heights...filter if you need on building height / terrain...work with what is left...


I agree - I have used the gimp since 1998 and when using other apps (e.g. Affinity) I often return to Gimp and Inkscape because I understand their UIs best.


It was Google Adwords that was the big one to my mind...with Ray Ryan (rjrjr) leading a lot of those efforts.


I was a massive GWT fan - particularly because it played well with the Java ecosystem.

1. huge programmer pool 2. tried and tested legacy code could be easily used / adapted 3. code quality / checkstyle plugins just worked 4. great testing tools

My main gripe was the compile time (often 2-3 mins)...whereas Adobe Flex would crank code out in 3 seconds.

Now, the new language models should help us push through the noise.


agreed...at what point should I provide remuneration to my professors? Should those professors / staff provide royalties upstream? I fully agreed with citation _but_ to claim that AI is derived work / needs to return royalties based on the materials it learnt from seems a step too far IMHO. It read material and put it back like everyone else.


Bob was an incredible guy - we've lost wonderful tech leader _but_ I am so terribly sorry that his family have to go through this
