Yes. That’s the spirit of what I meant.

Capitalism is the reason. They’re already at peak market share. Since they’re a publicly traded company, they have to do something to continue growing. Ads is probably the easiest, most obvious, but ultimately damaging idea. CEO doesn’t care since he probably has a fat golden parachute if ousted. The entire thing is rigged against shareholders and users.
Wife does the same thing. She wears it all but for an hour in the morning while getting ready. I HATE wearing mine overnight. I’m device free, but I also sleep great so I don’t bother tracking it. Makes a great alarm clock. Battery life for both of us has never been an issue.
They absolutely do not learn and we absolutely do know how they work. It’s pretty simple.
Generative AI needs massive training sets that represent the kinds of things it’s asked to represent. Through the process of training, the AI learns the patterns in the data and can generate new data that fits within those patterns. It’s statistics all the way down. In the case of a Large Language Model (LLM) it’s always asking itself, “what’s the next most likely word to come after this previous word, and does that next word make sense within the context of the other words in the sentence?” The LLMs don’t necessarily understand a text as a text; that is, as a sequence of ideas unfolding logically but rather as a set of tokens that carry statistical weights.
I depends on how the survey is done. If it’s an outside company you basically get zero comments. I had to run the survey results and Gameplan for 200 employees yearly. I had zero idea, let alone time, to figure out who might have given us bad scores. It was a lot of graphs on what people felt we could improve or what we excelled at, so KPIs. Big surprise that compensation and communication were the two that needed the most work. It almost always is in different industries I’ve been in. It was truly anonymous on the level I was at (knowing the employees).
As a salaried manager that’s a dream. What’s a break!?
Ha. We have a call center quality issue at work. I keep telling them that what they really have is a pay issue. You get low talent for low pay. Raise the pay and the talent magically appears. Works every time. And yet …
The state is responsible for the education of children. This absolutely falls within their scope.
At a certain age/level I agree. However, they aren’t needed or helpful in basic low level grades where you’re teaching the framework to build upon.
I didn’t even know what it was till yesterday. Not sure it’s the bastion of the public.
Turning off push notifications is a large step. I did that for personal profile stuff and I’m down to 0 usage on FB, limited on Instagram (boss sends me stuff once in a while), some on Lemmy and Mastodon. Work profile has push notifications but is limited to certain hours only. Helps a ton.
Depends on the plane and system it has. Last United flight I was on it stayed off the entire flight. I use my phone and generally don’t look at it anyway but it was nicer I suppose.
Great site and advice.
You truly don’t understand how large US cities are. Mine isn’t even in the top 10 in the country and it takes us 30 min driving at 65mph to drive from the north end to the south. That’s not a metro area, that’s within city limits. No one can bike around here and survive. For recreation, sure, we have bike lanes. It’s extremely difficult for anything else.
Oh absolutely. In the next week or so I’m sure that’ll be a headline.
It’s been in news articles here and there.
That’s not true though. Large companies get commission breaks like Netflix at 15%.
Just to expand, here’s a list of typical 240V appliances in a typical American home:
And some homes have:
Don’t conflate 120V/15A standard outlets with not having 240V at all. All homes have 240V or high power appliances wouldn’t function.
That video is extremely impressive. Hoooo boy.
It’s a straw man argument that doesn’t address the main point the comment or was making.
