Guy whose business model is predicated on hoovering up everyone's personal data so he can sell advertising (and similar targeting services) now wants to give everyone a "fatter" pi…

When linking my Google Mail, Composio was asking for some concerning data (DOB, exact street address). I noped out of that

Can't we get proper noise cancellation first before they worry about gesture control…

I'm sure this would be interesting if it actually rendered on my device…

I agree. He did not misspeak. He said exactly what he believes, and he's now being called out for it.

Is this where we request commentators to ‘out’ themselves as Australian citizens/residents (or not) before they respond (born Brisvegas 1970 here)

Chances this is a shonky attempt to drag new training data from private users?

In addition to the environmental issues, surely a wide disparity in dialects and speech patterns must have played a role? ML/NLP models largely be trained on clear, precise - and p…

Just the other day I was wishing there was a uBlock but for podcasts...

Also... McDonalds isn't in the business of selling food. It is in the business of owning real estate and selling "inputs" to its franchise holders. It makes money by selling equipm…

>>The actual human connection features of Facebook turned out to be a novelty I don't agree. FB play(ed) an important role for me: helping me keep my extended family across the goi…

Personally I am curious why no one is exploring the M2M applications of crypto. If we look forward to the time all (most?) vehicles are autonomous, I can see a need for a ‘market m…

Because small dick energy just doesn’t work for me. Some 95% of commentary on the topic is off the rails. The 5% rarely gets a mention here.

My take is that it is a leadership skill weakness. It is an outgrowth of the (poor) management principle of: if you can't measure it, you can't manage it. A lot of executives have …

When I embarked on writing my first (of 10) books, my publisher shared a wise quote/insight, which I have never forgotten: [The quote has been attributed to many authors, so I won’…

Any beer consumption index that doesn’t include Australia is suspect...
