Facebook (Meta) owns WhatsApp. I don’t use WhatsApp and it’s a hassle because it’s popular here so having the ability to send messages to WhatsApp without having a WhatsApp account or app would be useful.

The same could be said for sending emails to a Gmail account. You won’t be forced to send messages to WhatsApp but you’d have the option. WhatsApp is popular where I live so having the ability to send messages to a WhatsApp account would be useful for me as I refuse to install or use any facebook apps.

I’m English born, grew up in Australia, and I am now a naturalized Canadian. If someone said they were British I wouldn’t think they were referring to ethnicity. The US has a unique and unhealthy perspective on ethnicity and race. I hope that a naturalized immigrant to the UK would consider themselves British.

He actually got a job in the hospital! He was in the right place at the right time and while he doesn’t technically have the credentials because he didn’t study medicine, he’s going to learn on the job. He’s now their Chief Anesthetist

It would be ironic if tin foil hats could deflect directed-energy weapon

Cheers! I work in tech and don’t know many US politicians so I read that as “A.I. Green” 🤖🟩

This post has about as much context as a map drawn by a blindfolded pirate. What is this all about?
- Comment on Like Trump says that the cartels have invaded Canada wouldn't they have to pass through the US, avoid checkpoint, border control on both sides and many other things? So Canada can only blame the US? 4 weeks ago:
That’s way too logical for a Donald rant

- Comment on Donald Trump Is a Gift to Canada’s Liberal Party 5 weeks ago:
This is strange narrow framing. Trump is terrible for the US, Canada, their allies, and every other country. Poilivere using the same rhetoric as fascists is not a gift to any Canadian.

I haven’t checked the ToS in a while but last I checked it was 50mb upload limit for the free tier and a loosely policed no video streaming. I served over 8 million requests through the free tier last month.

- Comment on The Generative AI Con. 5 weeks ago:
I agree and I think this comes back to execution of the technology as opposed to the technology itself. For context, I work as an ML engineer and I’ve been concerned with bias in AI long before ChatGPT. I’m interested in other folks perspectives on this technology. The hype and spin from tech companies is a frustrating distraction from the real benefits and risks of AI.
- Comment on The Generative AI Con. 5 weeks ago:
But I don’t think it’s the best option if you consider everyone involved.
Can you expand on this? Do you mean from an environmental perspective because of the resource usage, social perspective because of jobs losses, and / or other groups being disadvantaged because of limited access to these tools?
- Comment on The Generative AI Con. 5 weeks ago:
It is the best option for certain use cases. OpenAI, Anthropic, etc sell tokens, so they have a clear incentive to promote LLM reasoning as an everything solution. LLM read is normally an inefficient use of processor cycles for most use cases. However, because LLM reasoning is so flexible, even though it’s inefficient from a cycle perspective, it is still the best option in many cases because the current alternatives are even more inefficient (from a cycle or human time perspective).
Identifying typos in a project update is a task that LLMs can efficiently solve.

- Comment on The Generative AI Con. 1 month ago:
except genAI has proven no purpose
Generative AI has spawned an awful amount of AI slop and companies are forcing incomplete products on users. But don’t judge the technology by shitty implementations. There are loads of use cases where when used correctly, generative AI brings value. For example, in document discovery in legal proceedings.
- Comment on The Generative AI Con. 1 month ago:
100% and like any tool, it can be used poorly resulting in AI bit rot, bugs, unmaintainable code, etc. But when used well, given appropriate context, by users that know what good solutions looks like, it can increase developer efficiency.
