I am happy to pay for the BBC licence fee if they stop harassing old grannies.

The real problem is social media. Their machine learning algorithms are optimised to boost toxic content, as they result in more engagement (time spent). This is a fundamental trai…

Outsourcing comes and goes in waves. Good talent in India and the Philippines tend to work for FAANG companies, often at very comparable salaries to the west. The remainder of the …

Meta is definitely at the forefront of recommendation algorithms built. However, the leadership team likely has shifted focus to LLMs.

I think you might be reading a bit too much into this. He’s been with Meta for 11 years and is likely in a very comfortable financial position, given the substantial stock options …

But is is a partial outage only, so it doesn't count. If you retry a million times everything still works /s
