Not trying to excuse google but wonder why that happens. I have had my own issues with ChatGPT memory but that's more like it forgets the context and spits out something gibberish at a later invocation counter to what it said earlier in the thread. But that's because it is buggy.
Rewriting history requires computes which is more malicious. Why would someone burn compute to rewrite your stuff given that rewrites are not free? Once again not defending google trying to think through what's going on.
Maybe they use some kind of response caching to save resources and the original pointer is now pointing to a newer response to the same question? Still would be an insane way to do that for a history log unless they're trying to memory hole previous instances of past poor performances or wrong think.
Sorry I downvoted this by mistake. Got confused between collapse and the down arrow (which I rarely use). Does someone know how to reverse a downvote. I do not see it.
You should see an "unvote" or "undown" link to the right of the timestamp (i.e. the opposite side from where the vote arrows were). It's fairly subtle.
Like some other people said, I drop my phones weekly. Some on wood, some on carpet, and some on concrete. It is so bad that as I have my latest phone for 2 years, I have run across 2 cases, and about to need a 3rd one or go for an upgrade (and buy a new case anyways). I have shattered the glass / screen once but that was a long time back. Yes I am clumsy and I would call myself that even before someone else told me so.
From what I have heard, it weighs on you. Maybe you can tolerate for an hour, and maybe you can do more than me, but I think the weight is the second parameter which puts off people.
Reduce weight by 1/3 and same thing for the price, and I will likely buy it.
Getting a correctly sized light shield helps a lot as it balances the weight over your whole face. Also helpful is having the strap ride a lot higher on the back than you would think is right -- it always feels way too high, but is held in place better when I do this, and feels lighter (as some of the strain is taken off the face).
Or using the alternative over-head strap. This is one case where I think Apple went too far with form over function. There are much better strap designs, but they just aren't aesthetically pleasing I guess?
Finally, I generally use it laying down in bed or on a couch, which makes the weight less of an issue.
I agree in principle that a lighter device would be vastly better. I don't know how they will get there without drastic improvements in the underlying technology though.
Sometimes it takes an event to change your view. I bought my first noise canceling sennheiser about a dozen years back. Hated it. Tried the noise canceling on my airpods. Hated it. Kept Airpods on transparency since most of my usage was during walking and I wanted to hear ambient sound, and never drown that out.
Then never tried noise canceling this week while on the plane. I was like ... what happened? Now I am actively looking forward to it.
I also used to hate airpods for their disconnects but they have become more reliable, especially if you tell them to remain connected to the last device you manually connected to.
Meetings / video chats are an anti-pattern for sure. There is so much communication loss because of other factors - someone forgot to mute, someone forgot to mute, plus what not. You want your side of the communication to be pristine, and even if airpods flake out 1/20 times, it is not good. I agree with you on that.
I am one of those buying orange. Never went for colors, always deep blue or grey, but both my son and I went for orange. And not even politically connected. Just liked the color.
Go for it! I had a bright red case for my phone for some time. Looked great, a nice little splash of color, also worked well with the company I was working for at that time (brand color was red, too).
I've changed phones since then and at some time found red "too much", so I went with a black case because I thought I needed to look more serious. Should revisit that thought, especially when talking about phone cases... :-D
I am traveling to India and unfortunately "our services are not available in your country or region". And a few months back we were all singing "oh wen ji" (really badly paraphrased) on RedNote when TikTok was already down pending reinstatement by Trump.
Point being TikTok js a winner in a slice of the population. I just stopped following the bunch of Indian folks even though they had an Instagram or reel account because I just could not get used to it. Similarly I followed a few people on rednote but promptly abandoned it when TT came back. So maybe TT won. But look at it from the other side. People in India and China don't follow what I follow. And there are billions of those.
TikTok is an awesome platform but not yet a "too big to fail" like YouTube I guess
Edit. But I get the point of 60 second media winning. Nowadays I am just unable to focus on a tv show. Or I am watching a show with some digression (Reddit, tiktok) in my hand. Theaters is the only place I am unable to do so and that's the only place I now enjoy movies I guess.
Some of the easy jobs will be taken away and your job is not under threat. Right? But some of the people who were doing low skilled jobs will grow to compete with you. Less supply more demand. Either the pay will come down or there are very few jobs. Fingers crossed.
Maybe there are less people in operations than before, there are certainly some companies that do their best not to employ any operations focused people and use FaaS for everything and only hire feature developers… who, end up doing the operations work that crops up.
> Maybe there are less people in operations than before
Even that ended up not being true, and I'd argue we have even more people doing ops now than we did before all the buzzwords.
Going to change my job title to cockroach because no matter how many times companies and trends have tried to kill ops, I'm still around, and sometimes in larger numbers.
> But some of the people who were doing low skilled jobs will grow to compete with you.
Yes, and this is not shocking. This is how it is meant to work. You get a low level job because you're new and have a lot to learn. You learn more things as you work the low level job, and then you can get promoted or move to a new role that is not so low level. You keep growing until you eventually compete with the people that were senior level when you were working that low level job.
I have a reasonably common name. I am in Bay Area, and have received mail meant for people in Fresno or Bakersfield, someone in Toronto, someone in Australia, and I think someone in a London suburb. There are drug test results, online orders, legal discussions, store receipts and hotel bookings. I even connected with 2-3 folks with my name - don't recall how I figured their other email. It was quite common for a while, but then I haven't seen anything like this for 2-3 years. When I say common, I mean once every 6-8 months and I guess I have had that email for 15 years or so. Maybe my universe of overlap was finite and all those people have figured out how to type their email now :)
That email is my first name dot last name but at one point I had been able to secure both first name at email provider dot come and last name at email provider dot com which somehow I abandoned. I wonder what level of erroneous emails I would have received at them.
I was an early Gmail adopter and have a common ethnic first initial last name. People mess up their email all of the time and I get insane stuff.
One lady, a general manager of a factory, sent a zip file with her VPN client, a list of backup MFA codes and a list of SCADA and IT systems for a large factory.
A police detective sent a video from a paratransit bus that was in an accident. I got a bitcoin years ago. One dude had a hobby of test driving luxury cars from almost every dealer in the Washington DC region. I have a $50 gift card for an Australian electronics store.
