Paradoxish posted:Tasks like labeling and verification are harder than they seem if you want usable results, so my guess is they couldn't get what they needed that way. All the big tech companies that have "AI" driving their products have armies of these contractors making minimum wage or a little better doing amazingly tedious but not-quite-unskilled labor. There are whole companies out there providing these services to Google, Microsoft, etc. AI data sifting is the new call center

Norton posted:everyone knows about planned obsolescence, but its been bothering me that it's less about greed and more about just meeting the basic requirement of all companies, which is maintaining a constant stream of revenue. it's absolutely fundamental to a company's survival that they never make good products because if you make a durable product you will run out of new customers and your revenue will dry up. people don't need to buy a cast iron pot or steel train car every year if the one they have still works fine. a fun lil detail in cyberpunk 2077 is that one of the in-game cars you can get was made by a company that decided to go all-out on consumer friendliness and built a car that was durable, reliable, easy to maintain and repair, and relatively affordable. The company then went out of business because their customers just bought one car each and kept them running for decades

Rhesus Pieces posted:if grape nuts are bad for you I’m assuming all cereal across the board is unhealthy? I’m not sure a “healthy” breakfast option exists in that case aside from unflavored unsweetened oatmeal which might as well be wallpaper paste “healthy” is a very vague term breakfast cereal is more or less universally a combo of carbs and sugar. which can absolutely be “healthy” for you if you’re burning those calories or have the high metabolism of an adolescent. if you’re eating a big bowl of cereal to get in your car, drive to the office, sit at a desk, and then drive home, you’re probably going to have a better time with a less calorie-dense breakfast

Vox Nihili posted:Yeah I remember reading about this. Wine is where the money is at. People have it in their head that they want to spend $X on a bottle of wine for Y quality, and it's almost all just branding and salesmanship. wine is weird; the markups on wine are high because the associated costs of wine is a lot higher. I run a beverage program for an nyc restaurant and while wine brings in the most revenue, the COGS is somewhere around 30% while liquor is usually high teens low twenties and beer is as low as 10%. wine markups are also different depending on the price of the wine. low end wines that cost the restaurant $10-$20 a bottle will usually get marked up 4-4.5x, while expensive bottles that cost us $100 a pop you can really only get away with marking up 3x or so. For super rare super expensive bottles you can see markups in the 1.5x-2x range, but since you're making literally $1000 in profit per bottle sold it's no issue. basically as far as costs and margins are concerned beer is impossible to beat, but if you want any real revenue you need liquor and if you want that sweet whale money (sorry, premium consumer money) you need expensive wines

the bus situation seems absolutely insane, I did some looking around to see why it was such chaos and what a shock, it's tech: quote:The district had 600 bus routes and 13,000 stops under a new plan created by AlphaRoute, a Boston firm that used artificial intelligence to cut the number of bus stops in the district by nearly half.

PoundSand posted:taking the plea seems like a lovely deal she got railroaded into by a bad lawyer cause criminal trial would require an actual jury to not just laugh it out of the court room right? Though I guess the entire jury could just be nextdoor psychopaths so maybe not. it's literally because of the sex trafficking our kids paranoia, so you'd have to take a Texas jury and pray that you don't get any Qanon nutters who will refuse to acquit because of the Great Plot

Homeless Friend posted:we absolutely would not have gotten the same UI program without trump not giving 1 poo poo about signing off on whatever lol. abuela would have made sure to slow roll it and tack on 40 bajillion qualifiers and mean test it to hell to force folks back to work. lol at thinking a democrat would be more reasonable on this a really fun stat to point out to my decorum poisoned lib friends is that by every metric used, Trump personally oversaw the largest and swiftest reduction in poverty in American history of course the takeaway isn't "Trump good" it's that giving very poor people a small but significant amount of money without conditions has an absolutely massive impact on their lives and they aren't just spending it on drugs and booze or whatever the gently caress politicians say whenever it comes up

it's funny how the annual iPhone release has gone from a massive hype event to something that barely registers on peoples' radars. I wonder how much of it has to do with the increments being less and less noticeable I went to replace my iPhone XR (not by choice, the logic board gave out) and I've never been so undersold at a company store before. like 4 different people working there said that the 14 straight up wasn't worth it, and that I should just get the 13 instead

the only time the sports gambling was good was a few years ago when it first was widely legalized and all the different apps were offering incentives to try and entice people to sign up, and someone figured out a way to essentially beat the house using the sign up benefits as long as you didn't already have any accounts
