It’s worth noting these companies try to capture & record every inch of a city before entering the market there. Without these models the vehicles would drive significantly worse. This isn’t really a scalable business model from what I’ve read
People accused MKBHD for “killing” products with his reviews. Both cannot be true
I think it was pretty convenient for the specific use case of discovering an article you want to read later on an e-reader. Or so I hear
Huge +1 recommendation for Manic Miners. Functionally a 1:1 remake with everything you could ask for and more- lots of settings, remastered levels, and a level builder. The (solo) dev got hired by Lego’s video game division afterwards
any of the thousands of games that predate “the cloud” or games that don’t even have a save feature.
Well sure, but those games were all made with that specific context in mind. You don’t simply start over BotW each time and have as good of an experience, because that’s not how it was designed. You don’t design 25+ hours worth of content for a campaign and expect it to be fine for players to lose their progress. This is a portalable gaming handheld we’re talking about. You can drop it. You can lose it. Spills happen. SD cards get corrupted.
Besides, if you’re not paying for the service, you’re the product not the consumer.
It wouldn’t be a problem if it wasn’t a walled garden. Forcing payment for a basic feature plus not allowing any alternatives is classic anti-competitive behavior.
Lack of free cloud saves is a non-starter. Why spend hundreds of hours on a save that can be gone at a moment’s notice?
I don’t think this includes the engine
How is it an alternative?
Generalizations aren’t productive
Only if it increased by a very large margin like a DDoS attack
That’s exactly right. Even if we made an AI that could give us the perfect solution and had accurate projections to back up its assertions, inevitably we’d reject it because we wouldn’t trust it fully. It cannot fix the often selfish nature of humans
Well, sure, but I’m sure most coal miners don’t feel super great about their specific job and profession generally. It’s a waste of resources and capital generally, not at a zoomed in level
Intentions aside, it’s just some independent research that anyone can review and critique. If the research is bad then it should be pointed out and won’t be taken seriously, undermining any influence from Goldman Sachs now and in the future
Oh, sure, I didn’t mean to compare the two really. Just pointing out that although Twitter is simple and easy to replicate in concept, trying to scale to support all humans as users (theoretically) is difficult
To be fair, Twitter needs very good infrastructure to be usable (e.g. caching) and obviously content moderation is as robust as their investment in it (those could be contract workers though)
If Goldman Sachs said that, than most likely the opposite is true.
What makes you say that?
A spokesperson for TikTok told the BBC that it had increased its investment “in efforts to ensure reliable information can be found on TikTok”, launching a “UK Election Centre with a fact-checking expert” and adopting an “industry-leading AI labelling technology”.
I doubt this will move the needle. Ultimately TikTok was not built for news & politics specifically, and it seems like a robust fact-checking system would lead to less engagement overall. So it’s at odds with their primary objective
Alternatively, it could be very frustrating for people who need it. Computer-generated translations are often very bad compared to human ones, and image recognition adds another layer of complexity that will very likely lack nuance. It could create a false sense of accessibility with bad alt-text, and could make it more difficult to spot real alt-text if it isn’t being tagged or labeled as AI generated
Nintendo sucks
