Never noticed that on Lemmy, but had your exact experience on bluesky.

Wow, in the 2000's and 2010's google my impression was that this is an amazing company where brilliant people work to solve big problems to make the world a better place. In the last 10 years, all I was hoping for was that they would just stop making their products (search, YouTube) worse.
Now they just blindly riding the AI hype train, because "everyone else is doing AI".
It's almost as if car manufacturers and big oil write the laws to increase their own profit margins...
No, they just didn't kill enough whistleblowers...
Let's rather call it "Decentralized Backup fee" .
Was working on a team of 4 people, each with a different skillset (frontend, backend, design, CMS). The project manager basically just told us what we have to do in which order, without explicitly telling us who or how someone should do it, which i think everyone appreciated and worked really well for everyone.
In my last role there was no project management, and the Boss just assigned random tasks to anyone, regardless of his skillset. One week i had to work on jQuery UI from 10 years ago, next week on some exotic server language with barely any documentation, no examples and no stack overflow help. His philosopy was "fuck your skills and preferences, everyone has to know everything!".
Before I quit there was some meeting how everyone must now learn video editing, because the product documentation (still with IE 6 screenshots) was not updated anymore but instead we would teach and explain the product in videos "because tiktok is very popular nowdays".
Only if his stunt double does all the running...
There are some apps that allow you to use your phone as a webcam, either via USB or wifi.
Nz is more tolerant to different cultures at least in the 3 big cities, Australia offers a higher pay and lower living costs. However as a American they will not see you as much as an outsider. Crimes in NZ are the cost of living.
I still remember that in the 90s till the 2000s you would get maybe 60 to 90 minutes of battery life out of a new laptop. Then it jumped to 4 or more hours thanks to better batteries, more energy efficient CPUs and displays.
They often do that to own more positions on the results page, and you don't get to see their competition without scrolling or clicking on the next page.
The 200hp engine to move the metal box at a speed of 15 kmh in city traffic from one red light to the next...
You underestimate how affordable or accessible a computer was in the eastern block. For reference, a color tv that is "mass produced" and didn't need much expensive high tech parts would cost as much as you would earn in one year - if you manage to find one in a shop.
For a computer you needed to find keyboard, drive, monitor, software and the computer itself which would be at least equally expensive to a color tv.
All the chips had to be manufactured locally in the eastern block, because there was an embargo on western computer tech. RAM alone was 10x more expensive because the manufacturing process was very inefficient.
That are some good points, i didnt really hear about deepmind for a long time and forgot about it. But replacing google websearch with "AI" really sounds like a decision made by marketing department, where they dont understand their own product, their customers or the techs limitations.
Unless of course they want to remove/hide all outgoing links from google search, so the user will spend more time there and google has more opportunities to show them ads from their own ad network, instead of losing the visitors to another website...
When I was young, we didn't have hex codes, we only had 1 and 0s. One time we where all out of 1s, and I had to code a whole Database system with only 0s!
Only if they have a killer app that people are willing to pay for...
You know what we don’t have? Bears. Alligators. Cougars. Wolves.
Because they all got killed by box jellyfish, venomous spiders or drop bears!
Yes, because I was wondering what kind of scam it is, and because the advertiser had to pay money for my click.
I think this it not necessarily a bad thing. Worked in an office where they produce GB of CAD files. Sending it as attachment would fail for most clients because of their mailbox size, and receiving it also sucks because it would clog the local outlook inbox file, and everything would crawl to a halt when you open Outlook in the morning.
Baidu, please tell me about the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre.
Well the mouse and keyboards are actually pretty good...
ChatGPT can recognize text on images already.
Forums existed when everyone had a 1024x800 computer monitor on his desk, before mobile Webbrowsers where a thing. The layout did make sense at the time.
Also, you dont need to buy a nice ferrari. Just get a cheap Toyota Tercel from facebook and then start replacing body, drivetrain, engine and interior with ferrari parts. I feel this is 100% solvable. But then I don’t buy cars, so maybe out of the loop.
Trust me, it will go up in value... In 2070.
Ok, so that's 3000 Cybertrucks sold, how much Profit do they need to make on each car for a 46 billion payout...?
Results might be very different if you are inside china, or write in Chinese characters.
Australia also has yearly floods, wildfires or tornadoes depending on the area. And the wildlife will try to kill you.
No, it would use the same Microsoft auth it already uses for xbox, outlook, windows etc.
a set of only 9 characters
🤔
OCR existed long before the 486. AFAIK it was already used in the 70's or 80's to scan mail and presort them based on the postcode. I remember that postcards had light orange boxes (presumably because this color was invisible to B/W scanners?) with dots inside where you where supposed to write the postcode numbers in.
The game only had 16 colors (4bit) and a resolution of 256x240. If you store it in the original dimensions and apply loseless compression it could be much smaller.
