So is this a kite for one way to commercialize all of Meta's platforms? Or perhaps just a way to kill off a dead business under the guise of a failed experiment?

Shh! Don't tell anyone.

Where as I'm stuck in a big team with a legacy codebase and lots of business rules, performing small incremental changes. So I spend my days banging the Esc key and shouting "Shut the f**k up!".

Luckily I work remote. I'd turn it off again, but my usage is monitored and I don't want to look like a Luddite.

So may be .75x to .8x range.

It would seem that the officer was searching for evidence of a crime, not to prevent importation.

However, did that evidence really exist? And if it did, was it for something else? Perhaps, the guy just worried about something far more mundane being discovered? We shall never know.

Think Schrodinger's password.

Who needs researchers when you have great AI.

Soon we will all be Wall-E fat people with AI that's there to do anything we can be bothered to think of.

> I yet have to see someone actually argue that you don’t need to understand SQL and ORM will suffice

Well that's because decades of bitter experience has told us all that object graphs rarely map cleanly to sets of relationships.

However, I do think that must have been the original idea as tools such as Hibernate tried so hard to obscure the underlying SQL and database. As a result all Hibernate objects have their own particular identity requirements which only made sense to a developer that knows what's going on under the hood.

If it is conscious then perhaps it will human like. If the consciousness is human like perhaps it will have a conscience. If it has a conscience then may be it can be trusted.

But then again, perhaps that conscience will convince it that the universe is better off without us.

May be search is not the golden goose, perhaps more the carrot that brings the user into range of the shitty stick of ads and data leeching.

I'm a bit afraid that although AI is being presented as part of the carrot, it may actually be a shittier stick.

Because they don't know

(that they are an ad company (and they don't know what the implication is)).

What exactly is the example?

Sorry, I'm in the UK so I haven't read the article that the author has decided to block my access to.

I thought that PDF was some sort of open standard.
