Wondered if you typo’d the 678 until I read the article - damn! That’s a heck of a range!

Just as I was saying to myself “I’m pretty happy with the Garmin I have, I don’t need a new Pebble,” here come Pebble’s marketing department with a reason!

… What do you mean this is an announcement from Garmin?

And they just got partially acquired by HP.

Real “got money, I’m out” energy, there.

Which part of the industry are you looking, if you don’t mind revealing?

I have the same problem, and honestly I can just about force the thin side of the floss between my teeth but it’ll get stuck sometimes (as the tight part is the top of the tooth), which is just not great.

The brushes, which I was excited for and bought the smallest size of, will only fit under the problem area - and are uncomfy.

So I use them to clean electronics 😅

I’ll be honest, I’m very confused about what you mean when you say that Google Wallet isn’t a thing. I pay with my Android phone everywhere, so ubiquitously that I’ve frequently left the house with just my phone and keys.

Do you mean America, where contactless payment is far less frequently accepted, or the concept of clicking on a “Pay with Google Wallet” style prompt on a website?

I enjoyed reading this, thank you.

Certainly sounds more interesting than my original read of it! Sorry about that, I was grumpy.

I don’t understand how you could understand how LLMs work, and then write this.

Machines can learn that…

Ah, nevermind.

If you’ll excuse me saying, I feel that you are the one who is looking at something and extrapolating.

The things you are describing sound like if-statement levels of automation, GitHub Actions with preprogrammed responses rather than LLM whatever.

If you’re worrying about being replaced by that… Go find the code, read it, and feel better.

Yes, people are being forced to use it if they want to, for instance, search using Google or Bing.

As the parent comment suggested, or there’s no way to opt out, currently.

I’m glad you see value in it; I think the injection of LLM queries into search results I want to contain accurate results (and nothing more) a useless waste of power.

Yeah, what’s the jokey parable thing?

A CTO is at lunch when a call comes in. There’s been a huge outage, caused by a low level employee pressing the wrong button.
“Damn, you going to fire that guy?”
“Hell no, do you know how much I just spent on training him to never do that again?”

(</Blah>)

The Xreal Air~, or the just-being-released Xreal Air 2 Ultra, is potentially that.

Oled displays and cameras for tracking objects and hands.

Edit: also just saw this

To be clear, that thirty percent was the going rate for stores back when Steam started - not just since 2019.

I don’t know where you’re getting the 15-20 percent thing.

I got a first generation badgy, and it had an issue that prevented it working with the battery.

Sqfmi said they’d sent out a replacement part to fix it, but never got back to me.

I love the ideas they have, but I don’t trust them.

That’s just not how LLMs work, bud. It doesn’t have understanding to improve, it just munges the most likely word next in line. It, as a technology, won’t advance past that level of accuracy until it’s a completely different approach.

To me, the difference there is that the jokes about snake oil and homeopathy, healing crystals, or essential oils are roughly the same - e.g. “what do you call X that works and has been peer reviewed? Medicine.”

So far, there has been no equivalent positive usage in the crypto sphere. Medicine, though often administered to different levels, is a good idea in itself.

Actually, for most uses of crypto it’s attempting to muddle in and “add” value to a previous known-good thing. Is the comparison here that crypto is snake oil currency, snake oil databases, or snake oil contracts? In every case, to me, crypto is the snake oil salesman trying to sell you the brighter tomorrow - without adding anything positive, and often getting the heck out of dodge (or folding a company and moving on to, e.g. LLMs) before delivering on promises.

Out of interest, have you seen the recent headlines around Windows 11 stopping working on unsupported hardware that it had been installed on anyway?

Or, to use your example, reviews that don’t understand the product or play it for laughs. 😅
