… Because
A sweeping win for New Mexico could energize Torrez and thousands of other plaintiffs currently pursuing cases against tech companies. Conversely, a limited order could be a significant blow. The outcome won’t directly impact other cases, but it will almost certainly color negotiations over potential settlements
I wasn’t being disingenuous and I just validated my assumptions.
The cost of compute per million instructions has continued to decrease. The cost of storage on HDD has also continued to decrease, albeit more slowly. The cost of NAND storage has increased due to the supply crunch that Google helped create. Average pay at Google has gone up 5% over the past two years, but this is offset at least in part by mass layoffs. License fees for music have remained stagnant.
While a lot of those things are arguable one way or another, depending on whose numbers you look at and what specific details you want to focus on, one thing is not. Google’s profits have nearly doubled in the past 3 years. There is no reason for a price increase beyond corporate greed.
I I received the email today telling me that they were going to raise the price of my family plan by $4 per month. I’m guessing that their costs have not increased in any way, and probably have decreased. I assume it’s just another squeeze tactic from the company that used to not be evil.
This is a good answer. AI tools won’t make someone who has not yet developed programming skills into a good programmer. For someone who has a good grasp of implementation patterns and the toolkit for a given tech stack, they can speed things up by putting you into the role of a senior programmer reviewing code from multiple newbies.
I’m finding that for it to work well, you have to split things up into very small pieces. You also have to really own your AI automation prompts and scripts. You can’t just copy what some YouTuber did and expect it to work well in your environment.
I don’t see it that way. To me, it seems that there is a lot more great music available, and it takes much less effort to find it. Mass-market music is lowest-common-denominator crap, but that became the case somewhere in the 90s and hasn’t changed since.
The sweet spot is to find artists who are popular on streaming services, but not nearly as popular as the heavily-marketed acts that fill stadiums. Then branch out from there. Maybe check out community playlists that don’t contain big name acts and add anything that resonates to your own lists to get started?
It isn’t much of a challenge if they suck. Just planning to make them doesn’t mean shit.
Also, why do none of these articles have a summary posted for them? These are some seriously low effort posts.
Corrected to MMS.
I’m an experienced technologist (a software engineer for over 30 years), I used to regularly install CyanogenMod on my phones. While I didn’t find the graphene OS installation to be particularly difficult, I did find actually using it to be too much of a challenge to live with every day. The biggest single problem I can recall is that I could not do any group SMS texts. Many searches and attempts at fixes later, I realized that it was a known bug that for reasons unknown did not seem to affect all users. There were a number of minor annoyances in addition to that bug.
That may reflect more on how Google has locked down things on the pixel phones, or other stuff they’ve done to keep things as proprietary as possible in their software and devices. I switched back because it wasn’t worth the hassle to me.
I came here looking for this.
A break, not a breakthrough.
I just block people who hurl unprovoked insults.
