Google promised to create a better, faster web for media companies with a new standard called AMP. In the end, it ruined the trust publishers had in the internet giant. Ahh yes, AMP. Where I get to load a page a second time to get rid of AMP.

The Prime Video team published this story: Scaling up the audio/video monitoring service and reducing costs by 90%, and the internet piled in with opinions and bad takes, mostly missing the point. But if I can't have a knee-jerk reaction, what am I doing on the internet?

Semi-supervised learning is a huge reason ChatGPT is so good compared to its alternatives I can see why the OpenAI CEO wants employees like this back in the office - you're gonna miss out on all sorts of dynamic synergies if you're labeling photos from home!

Some days (maybe a couple of weeks) ago, there was another news about the daily costs of ChatGPT... now we know where a part of those costs go.

Employees at Apple's first unionized store in Towson, Maryland are pushing for a contract that includes the introduction of tipping. "You're gonna wanna buy this accessory for that." *opens hand expectantly*

Sorry for all the workers that do need the tips to make to the end of the month. I know in the US and other places is almost mandatory usual to tip, but... But I only tip, where I get a good service.
Once a (really bad) waiter asked me (here in Germany, where tips are pretty usual too) when I was standing up and getting my coat: "Hey, where is my tip?"
My answer was: "In the same place you left your education and your respect to the customers"
(Disclaimer: I did tip that night, but it was for the kitchen personal. Food was superb, but that moronic waiter...  )
And many of the Apple Stores I know (used by friends and relatives) are not really famous due to their good service and nice workers.

So, are they also requesting a base salary of only $3/hour?

What I wonder about is why they think putting this in their contract is going to make anyone walking into the store tip them? I'm thinking next year apple will roll out ChatGPT driven kiosks into the stores.
absurd.

They're doing it because a non-zero number of people will feel obligated to toss something into a tip jar if one is there. The next step if they get Apple to agree will be to have the payment kiosk have a tip slider defaulted to 20% because a larger share of their customers will be too embarrassed to slide the amount to zero while the clerk is watching them.

I guess it would have to be on a sliding scale. Tip 20% on a new MacBook? na...
I don't see this taking off, then again, I find it ridiculous to have to pay an uncharge to be able to pick your seat on an airplane.

Poor Google. Must suck being such a cash-poor company. Firing 12,000 employees couldn't pay for Pichai's bonus, so they had to figure out some other way to pay for it.

The World Health Organization said Friday that COVID-19 no longer qualifies as a global emergency, marking a symbolic end to the devastating coronavirus pandemic that triggered once-unthinkable lockdowns, upended economies worldwide and killed at least seven million people worldwide. I kind of prefer living my life worrying, though. I feel like that's the healthy way to proceed.

Unfortunately the long-lasting loss of freedom around the world is still with us. Totalitarians in all countries used COVID as an excuse to restrict free movement, speech, and association.

With a little bit of math, decompilation, and understanding of computer architecture, we are going to force a user-controlled arithmetic overflow to occur in Magic: The Gathering Arena, and use it to buy millions of card packs for "free" (only using the starting amount of in-game currency given to new accounts). "Using buffer overflow to gain infinite in-game currency locked to one account in Magic: the Gathering Arena and then disclosing the exploit to the publisher"
