Re Facebook - everyone has a FB profile whether you use it or not, the app wants permission to see your contacts so it can build networks of who knows who. It's pretty hosed up and should be illegal.

Land cost. these things are going in, in undeveloped areas at least where I’m seeing them in the PNW. think like 30 minutes to an hour from a city.

It's pretty hosed up and should be illegal. it's pretty crazy to me that I can put my friend's address in my phone to get to his house easier and now, through no digital action of his own, his name and phone number are permanently associated with that address according to Google, the NSA, etc.

It's pretty hosed up and should be illegal. Yeah, Facebook keeps "shadow profiles" of people it knows exist but who are not even signed up for the platform for the purposes of mining ad data. Most commercial websites have tracking programs called "pixels" that report your usage of the site back to Facebook/Google/whoever, and then use that to target ads to you and your connections. This is how you can have a conversation with someone about some crazy product they saw online and then get an ad for that same product an hour later. Your friend's purchase or even just viewing of that product triggered a tracking event and likely everyone they know is now seeing those ads. It's just coincidental that you happened to talk to them about it specifically. Edit: I believe a good amount of this poo poo is illegal in the EU because of their GDPR law.

Animal-Mother posted:why don't they just change it back to when it was good? probably a mix of they don't want to, they don't know how anymore, what they index doesn't really allow them to go back it's arguable but one of the main metrics Google used to keep touting was zero-click search. that's a search that results in the user not actually clicking any web links. if a search ends in a user clicking into a streaming service app directly from the results, that's considered zero-click. same if they just close the browser or do another search. this is a metric google changes all their poo poo around for. it's why featured snippets, walls of videos, and all sorts of other poo poo are all over the page instead of actual web results. ironically it's very, very hard to search for anything actually from google on this due to seo infestation. https://blog.google/products/search/google-search-sends-more-traffic-open-web-every-year/ is a "fact check" blog about how zero-click searches aren't necessarrily bad and setting the record straight. it's pretty clear they optimize for zero-click searches and that everyone single piece of poo poo seo outfit does too. also that's why search results suck rear end. doesn't actually matter if people spend ages trying to re-do searches. that's actually beneficial if you're optimizing for zero-click, which is the case so i'd say primarily they don't want to make their search good like it used to be. the opposite

Offering a larger yield on savings accounts by taking a smaller cut and exploiting market awareness/trust by being named "Apple" and not, like, "MoneyTime Online Bank" seems like a smart move, what's the catch here (I know, I know, makes it easier to get people to finance flagship phones and computers etc)

i've been playing around with it and chatgpt's code thing is so close to being pretty solid, but it does some insanely dumb poo poo like giving you libraries you don't need or didn't ask for (some of which don't work at all as used) or remove things completely, basically making you backtrack to fix it. i can't imagine the plus one is much better but i could be wrong even then it probably still writes better code than i would

According to Microsoft's evaluation it scores in the top few percentiles on online code interview practice tests, whatever that means. Supposedly it can get a perfect score on the Amazon one, but I am a laymen so I dunno if that is impressive or not.

I just paid for plus 5 minutes ago and it's way, way faster generating it, and the first bit of code it gave (improving on what I asked for) actually worked somewhat, so it's an improvement
