Do people ever post real content there…? I’m concerned if so

What did you prefer? Lenovo?

Basic economy will eventually only let you select any ad in their library. Actual content is for regular economy passengers only!

It’s truly amazing…they must stand at the front of meetings and just ask “how do we make our passengers hate us most?”

Maybe I don’t understand the economics of this move, but are they really going to make that much more money from targeted ads? If it’s double the price, I assume it’s worth it, but if it’s a ~10% gain it’s just dumb.

The “article” is like 100 words and just restates the title in more words.

Maybe the only information it adds is that they won’t target passengers under 18

The funny thing about this ad is that it’s already lodged deep in my brain and anytime someone says they have a headache I think about it

But act now and get AdamEatsAss Basic with 5 min unskippable ads for only $4.25

Stremio + Torrentio has changed my life recently!

Tons of tutorials online and it’s dead simple to set up. Takes ~ 5 mins

I have some family members that have HBO and Hulu that I borrow logins for, but I never visit the apps directly anymore, it’s just not worth it when you can get all the content all in one place with no hoops to jump through

WW3 material for New Yorkers, right there

This was actually the whole original point of Duolingo. The founder previously created Recaptcha to crowd source machine vision of scanned books.

His whole thing is crowd sourcing difficult tasks that machines struggle with by providing some sort of reason to do it (prevent spam at first and learn a language now)

From what I understand Duolingo just got too popular and the subscription service they offer made them enough money to be happy with.

Good thing my company just switched from their service! Their customer service was truly awful, too.

I’ve thought about this a bit (but by no means extensively) and I feel like the stakes are different for tech companies because growth doesn’t require as much capital as a non-tech business.

For a SaaS tech company to scale from 10 users to 1000 users doesn’t mean a bunch more sales people and a new factory, it means having a great product and turning on new servers, likely only incurring a higher hosting bill from AWS (or similar).

In that sense, I feel like it’s easier for the sentiment to be “we’ll be better off with 1000 more users” over and over again until people start to want to optimize the business. Which means doing more traditional “shareholder value creation” that big companies do today.

Don’t get me wrong, I would love to see it happen, but i think tech just scales so differently and easier than other business types.

In this rare case, I would totally suggest you read the article. It has the perfect amount of humor mixed with shocking facts (revealed via email evidence from the Google antitrust case) and it wraps it all up in a way that’s easy to understand.

How are you raising that kind of capital in this environment!? I can only dream of it!

The best part of starting a new job is that you don’t have years of built up “status checkins” that we’re never cancelled for some reason.

I feel like this section is rather disingenuous for the article author to just drop without mentioning that this is how all machine learning models are trained. The idea is that now (and for the next year or whatever) it’s trained manually until the system is good enough to do it on its own with a good enough accuracy rating to not lose money.

Now, since Amazon is shuttering this, it’s totally possible that they determined they’d need too many years of training data to break even, but at the very least this is standard industry practice for any machine learning model.

I find if I write one or two tests on my own then tell Copilot to complete the rest of them it’s like 90% correct.

Still not great but at least it saves me typing a bunch of otherwise boilerplate unit tests.

They put their best high school interns on it! What more could they do!?

I just ordered a report to see what providers I can switch away from or what data I can poison with fake stuff
