The iOS Mail app has gotten so bad. It shows errors for no reason whatosover. The other day I typed a message and hit sent (and status showed all synced) but it was not sent and not even in draft.

Any recommendations for an alternative?


As per the Ramayana (Hindu mythology), Hanuman (the monkey God) had set the city of Lanka on fire. https://hinduism.stackexchange.com/questions/15588/why-did-h...

Just a strange coincidence.


What if my "AI Character" says things that are offensive or insensitive or considered rude by someone in some culture? I can see this making headlines with a <Celeb/Politician> AIs offending someone...


4chan is going to have a party with this and there’s no way to implement enough guardrail to prevent all the potential failure modes.

I don’t think this will end well for them.


4chan is not going to have much fun with this because of LLaMA being quite filtered and sanitized. It was character.ai that first popularized the AI character roleplay genre, but then they implemented quite strict filtering, so nowadays there are literally tens of uncensored NSFW platforms for AI character roleplay, and people can easily download local models that just require a good-enough GPU. Or abuse models from OpenAI/Anthropic.


Of course with the magic of browser web tools, the AI character doesn't actually have to say anything offensive, you can just change whatever it did say and post screenshots on Mastodon.


This is real. We got severely hit by their bots causing our service to go unresponsive.


Had the exact same experience. One of the car dealerships told me that I still have to get a 6 month "service" where they move around battery packs (why?). And secondly, I remembered how I hated talking to car salesmen.


Imagine the amount of solar they could put on the roof tops of those warehouses to offset the costs


It would be interesting to know what the net gain is. Obviously there is the materials and labor cost of installation, but then you also have the battery cost. I assume most of the trucks are out during the day, so you need batteries to store the generated power until the truck can be charged at night.

And does Amazon own the warehouses outright, or do they lease them?

Why not just double your fleet size instead?

That's a bit extreme, but this is the kind of optimization that your bean counters are good at. You probably don't need to double your fleet but just keep enough that you can shift the consumption curve or take advantage of price changes.


Shit man, jeff@amazon.com and let him know.

(Not private thank you very much)


"Google One AI Premium" - I just spilled my coffee reading this... I dont know what this is?


It's a new and exciting set of features that allow them to collect even more invasive information, then flood your email, webpages and physical mail with more targeted and impressive amounts of garbage!

Now what could go wrong? 4 dots becomes 3 dots...[1]

What about the "profile" (i.e. the model) of me that is created based on the history? i.e. https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated?hl=en

I'd think thats more valuable - raw data would not really be necessary unless they need to re-learn things.


How useful would it be to target ads based on what you did 19+ months ago? If you ignore privacy, it seems like the model needs to be based more on a moving window of what's relevant to you now.


I’m not 100% sure I mind the profile as long as the data behind it is gone. It adds an element of “cant confirm or explain” the profile which means you cannot be as convincingly associated with it. Still not ideal but a big improvement to me
