@KanekoaTheGreat You should probably check your facts. "No footage was delivered" because it didn't exist. Did you fund the recording of drop boxes? No. Was there an in-place method for chain of custody?
You can't ask for things that don't exist and then claim fraud.

@MericanMemes @LeadingReport Hypocrisy: A feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not : behavior that contradicts what one claims to believe or feel

The Republicans threw a fit when somebody suggested remaining something after Obama, but Trump, no problem. See above.

@mjuric @Google Tell me how leaking your SSN, username/password or banking info to thieves is better than Google having your search history?

[Mac, aka David McDaniel @_TheCloudMac_]

@mjuric @Google And tell me that you don't see any of the same issues with OpenAI/Microsoft? If you don't, you're not even looking. Plus, Microsoft constantly creates software that is vulnerable to attacks, even in its cloud offering.

@Boldizar @mjuric @Google In this context, I think "offensive" is a higher order error.

[Mac, aka David McDaniel @_TheCloudMac_]

@Boldizar @mjuric @Google I think you're missing a very important part: there is no accuracy metric for image generation. You are creating a new, never before seen image. How can that be correct or incorrect? It may not match what you asked for, but that's different than accuracy in the Google search way.

@betterhn20 My question is: How did anybody at Microsoft ever approve of this?

I mean, really?

@AdamPippert @kelseyhightower @37signals @dhh My firm belief and experience tells me they are not calculating the full or correct cost of either side of their choice. Most companies don't do it well, if at all.

@channel1_ai Very interesting. So far, so good, but just like human news, reputation is paramount, so we'll see how this goes.

I imagine this took a long time to produce given the future-tense use of past dates (from post date). I'm guessing heavy editing was required as well.

To me, this does enable many customers to stay using AI today, as many of our customers struggled with getting to the point of being able to train models. So, at least for GenAI use cases, this is amazing to have everything at your fingertips within Google Cloud!

[Google Cloud Tech @GoogleCloudTech]

Welcome to the post-training era.

LLMs are democratizing access to #AI for app developers. Now, you don't need to know how to train #ML models—you need the tools to take advantage of LLMs.

Here's why databases with vector indexing support can help ↓

@kelseyhightower How is that any different for gold? Isn't all currency just an agreement between two people that a given service or product is worth X amount of currency Y?

@BeschlossDC Also, my best friend and coworker freaked out (understandably) because his brother was supposed to be in one of the towers that day. Fortunately he wrapped up his business early and was in Jersey and safe.

@BeschlossDC I remember hearing that a plane hit one of the Twin Towers. And seeing empty skies for days afterwards.

@kodythewxguy WAM, BAM thank you NAM?

It certainly looks strange compared to models I look at, but this week I've been working on a hard hat detection computer vision model. Sorry.

@kelseyhightower Congratulations and thank you for all you've done!

We've never met, but I've been following your work for years and truly appreciate everything you've done for the community.

Have fun!

@DavidZipper Part of Colorado's vehicle registration is weight-based today and has been for a long time.

@QuinnyPig @awscloud The "aws/empty" part is a little strange/telling?!?
