This should be a Venn diagram with zero overlap, lol

skip0110@lemm.eeto Technology@beehaw.org•Google Changes Price Structure for Google Maps API Developers, Changes Take Affect March 1English22·4 months agoMaplibre (https://maplibre.org/) offers a beautiful open source solution. There are affordable open source solutions for OSM base maps too (https://github.com/protomaps/basemaps), where you can host the whole thing as a single static file.
No one should be paying Google per API key :)
skip0110@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.ml•How a top Chinese AI model overcame US sanctionsEnglish1·4 months agoTrue, but they were still resource constrained, which might be why they ended up with a model with lower resource requirements.

Remember this blast from the past?
Those mega corporations have intentionally misused the term “algorithm” which implies an unbiased method of ranking or sorting. What they are actually using is more like a human curated list of items to promote that supports their self serving goals.
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?
skip0110@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.ml•Google just launched a new AI, and has already admitted at least one demo wasn’t realEnglish4·1 year agoMismanagement and inefficiency must be present everywhere at Google as they do immense amounts of R&D but are constantly beaten to innovation by smaller players.
skip0110@lemm.eeto Technology@beehaw.org•Inside the 'arms race' between YouTube and ad blockersEnglish6·1 year agoYup. 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.

skip0110@lemm.eeto Technology@beehaw.org•Inside the 'arms race' between YouTube and ad blockersEnglish21·1 year agoThanks 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.
skip0110@lemm.eeto Technology@beehaw.org•Google Paid How Much to Be the Default Search Engine?English58·2 years ago5.25 billion smartphone users, so they are paying about $5 per user. If you switch the default from Google, you are taking $5 from them!
skip0110@lemm.eeto Technology@beehaw.org•The internet is littered with fake reviews. Amazon, Glassdoor and others are trying to fight backEnglish1·2 years agoIt’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.
skip0110@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.ml•Wired has retracted its article "How Google alters search queries"English243·2 years agoNow I believe it more than ever
A malformed (attacker crafted) webp file could cause Chrome (or other Chrome based browsers) to execute arbitrary code when rendering it. The file might be embedded in a web page you view. Other applications that use Skia for graphics are theoretically affected too.
skip0110@lemm.eeto Technology@beehaw.org•AI language models can exceed PNG and FLAC in lossless compression, says studyEnglish23·2 years agoI 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!
skip0110@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.ml•Tesla trial over Autopilot fatality kicks off in CaliforniaEnglish352·2 years agoI don’t believe the claim that their ADAS was not enabled at the time of the crash. While maybe factually true, if it disengaged a few seconds before, the crash is still the fault of Tesla’s software.
