@GergelyOrosz When the mindset is: our hardware sells by itself and software is just a fluffy addition; one tends to prioritise/fund accordingly and then hire with that approach. Seen it happen numerous times!
@fchollet I really like to see Google succeed. You are doing massive harm if this is your mindset internally! Tragic! Here is one use case; using prompt engineering/LLMs converting legacy code
@anshublog And now they cannot wait to get out of it? Something surely changed? The money is not real (credits given), not enough margins, legal exposure as something is off??
@pitdesi A few years back, my wife’s iPhone got stolen while visiting overseas. We had alerts set in locate phone. It never showed up as coming online. I find it hard to believe someone never turned it on. I suspect there are utilities/hacks to bypass Apple’s checks.
@pitdesi@paulg I have a few friends in Argentina. It is a long and arduous road ahead for their country. Let’s not cherry pick a limited set of “wins”. Inflation soared over 200%. A lot of people are going to suffer.
@pitdesi I don’t understand why is this an important metric for established/already saturated/downloaded apps. If 90% of ios users in the US already have Instagram or Facebook on their phones, they may or may not show up on this list? And it is not a bad thing?
Headline say one thing and then additional caveats in later tweets completely makes the whole thing meaningless. What a world we live in to get clicks and probably how success is gauged internally within media orgs.
@joshmillgate@avstorm Exactly this kind of thinking internally especially for a 40B+ company will lead to decisions like what OP pointed out. There will always be bigger fish to fry and not a priority etc. Till there is a disaster.
@anshublog@arvindsubraman What’s holding it back is perhaps not having semi-dictatorship like CCP (many examples quoted in the article contradict with what makes China successful), curtailing domestic consumption in favour of exports?
@JSyversen@Levijameshere Pretty much available for all 50 states. License plate to VIN; VIN to owner history. All via APIs offered by legit companies for legit use cases. But these mass scans are the work of a data collector who sells to scam warranty companies etc.
