"An executive who is part of Citibank’s armed security team shot the gunman five times before he could hurt anyone else. Pearson was pronounced dead at a hospital."
Whelp, we know how that goes. An innocent woman dies, and Pearson couldn't hurt anyone else, fortunately.
That's nonillions of meters, so... 1 zetameter?
If we fix the name, it will not change what it does, and it probably won't fix how people use and feel about it. "Really Good Guessing Machine" is less marketable than "Artificial Intelligence", and much closer to the truth, but CEOs would be willing to take credit for laying off 20% of their workforce because they have RGGM now.
Maybe "Predictive Token Gamble", to convey that all it does is predict tokens, and each output, each use case, and the entire industry as a whole is a gamble... "PTG reduced our human capital expenditure by 20%" still goes a long way, though.
0.0000000003448 GIGAmeters just doesn't sound that impressive...
1 megametre equals: 0.001 gigametres 0.000001 terametres 0.000000001 petametres
Meanwhile, 1 megameter is the same as: 0.001 gigameters 0.000001 terameters 0.000000001 petameters
"Lifetime" warranties are for the lifetime of the product (however they define that), not for the lifetime of the owner. There are court cases where a "lifetime" of less than 5 years has been upheld.
It's one of the most clever doublespeak things most consumers remain unaware of, so they keep doing it.
Winning the lottery is (ballpark) 1 in 10^9, so generating a key below a million is like winning 11 lotteries in a row, while buying 1 ticket in each.
They wouldn't know how you'd done it, but I think you'd be arrested, with valid probable cause.
If a gold ring is too small for your finger, you can place it onto this, and use a hammer to drive the wedge into the middle, and expand the ring (without going to a professional jeweler).
Usually it's only good for a 1 size adjustment, and it doesn't work with some rings, especially if they aren't an even width all the way around.
If AI makes you twice as productive, and there's fewer taxes on spending money for tokens than there is for spending money on salaries, the rational amount for a corporation to spend on it is more than a human's entire salary, per person working with it.
Naively assuming corporations approximate rational actors, and AI does measurably improve productivity, this implies a gain of roughly 2% if these employees are earning federal minimum wage, or well below 1% if they earn average software developer wages.
Maybe their contract deliverables are poorly suited to this use case or something, but if they are given a fixed amount of money to produce some software item, then it makes sense to prioritize productivity per dollar.
Do you ever take it out to eat, though?
Just because you've never been invited doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
I think the post is misleading. Steam's fixes to launch faster came out on October 13th, the day before Epic's new client designed to launch faster came out. It is likely that someone at Valve spent a long time designing, coding, and testing the improvements.
As far as I'm aware, no one at Valve was bragging about their change being easy, or completing it quickly. Epic was/is the only one bragging.
