People have options, and it’s very easy to go somewhere else. If the food isn’t better the price and demand are going to be perfectly related. Every price hike matched by a corresponding drop in sales. Zero sum game.

You’ve got to figure, if some is still driving their 20 year old Saturn or Mercury, they are a careful driver.

I don’t really find the Android notification system useful, as there are always a few apps that permanently place an icon in the tray. But I’m not really a mobile “power user” so I’m not the target market for these features.

Exactly. Mastodon supports polls so what the heck?

Naan, idli.

A new radiator hose / heater hose is only like $20-$40 I think…

Yup. I’m a web dev. Switched from testing first in Chome to testing first in Firefox a few months ago. And I had been Chrome first for probably 10 years prior. Some of our customers (enterprises) also started deploying/spec for FF by default in the past year.

Thanks to stuff I learned about in the comments of previous posts on lemmy, I no longer see any YouTube ads. I’d say their plans are backfiring.

What’s worse, the parking or the broad generalizations in the comments here?

To me this appear more like a minor update to sales projections for upcoming quarters, rather than a strategy shift.

5.25 billion smartphone users, so they are paying about $5 per user. If you switch the default from Google, you are taking $5 from them!

I understand where your coming from. If you are used to cooking “by the seat of your pants” for one scaling to a group is more complex than just increasing the amounts.

A couple things that can trip you up:

Prep: Bigger ingredient amounts mean you probably should prep them before starting. E.g I can peel and dice one potato in the time it takes water to come to a boil. 6 potatoes, not so much. Do a mise en place.

Seasoning: taste more often and consider aiming for a more “average” palette. E.g I like my food with very low salt but more pepper, but I don’t do this when cooking for others.

Pans: larger sizes mean you might have to do some steps in batches (browning) or use two pans where you could have used a single pan for one (e.g. split the pan and brown meat at the same time as cooking onions). Create pans/trays to hold the parts of the meal that are partially cooked. When making a lot of something, a little prep and organization makes things go smoothly since you might be repeating the same task several times, so if that task is a little quicker, you get a big benefit. Whereas you might not want the extra prep pans to wash when cooking for one, when cooking for more the better organization actually makes it go quicker.

You still can cook by taste/eye/instinct for the ingredients and amounts. It’s just that planning and organization becomes more important.

It’s not so much the fake reviews, as the very honest and bluntly negative reviews. That gets in the way of Amazon making a cut off of sellers offloading useless crap onto their customers, and those are the reviews I think they will be purging.

If you login to the Gmail app on any device, it can also act as 2FA. Does not need to be the one where they send the push…any logged in device will work.

I think this model has billions of weights. So I believe that means the model itself is quite large. Since the receiver needs to already have this model, I’d suggest that rather than compressing the data, we have instead pre encoded it, embedded it in the model weights, and thus the “compression” is just basically passing a primary key that points to the data to be compressed in the model.

It’s like, if you already have a copy of a book, I can “compress” any text in that book into 2 numbers: a page offset, and a word offset on that page. But that’s cheating because, at some point, we had to transfer to book too!

Yes, exactly. Google is causing this problem by making a way for this crap to be monetized, and driving the human eyeballs to it. The solution is not to further enable Google as a gatekeeper to information, but to simply replace them.

Out of principle websites never get push permission from me. If it is a communication app it will give me a phone push, and I can switch to that tab when I see that in my peripheral. One less thing to mute when I want no distractions.

If the transition was anything but fake (i.e. they do something with the user name before showing the passwordfield) I feel like that would be a bigger security hole. A leak of some sort of info about the username maybe.

I feel bad for developers who have built a business around Twitter. But hopefully everyone comes to realize, proactively: just do not do business with Musk or his ilk. Don’t buy from his companies and don’t sell to them either: they don’t pay the bills. Don’t partner with them; they will steal your ideas and steamroll you out of existence. Just let them wither and die.
