Don't quite understand the application of this?

Google Maps uses this tech for AR navigation: https://www.pocket-lint.com/what-is-google-maps-ar-navigatio...

No. But people do want large action models and for that you need a training dataset, which is what Recall will provide.

Remenber this Key & Peele sketch?

Will be a lot easier with Recall

That model would have to be trained locally since the data never leaves the device

So they say..

This is some serious tinfoil hattery.

The data is not small. If it was being uploaded, you'd notice.

If screenshots were OCRed and then only text was uploaded, I doubt you would notice anything.

Pssst... You can extract metadata from data and then train on those "anonymized" metadata ;)

> This is some serious tinfoil hattery.

microsoft regularly makes promises about privacy and telemetry, and regularly breaks them. They have been multiple law suites about this.

In germany we say "Wo ein Trog ist, sammeln sich die Schweine", especially in the discussion around recall.

Have they lost any of those lawsuits?

So it only counts as going back on their word if they lose a lawsuit about it?

Sure, or if there's any evidence that these aren't just BS allegations. The signal to noise ratio in this space is 0

So just as an example, Facebook's login page has "it's free and always will be" prominently displayed. Your logic is that if Facebook switches to a purely subscription model and avoids getting nailed in court for lying specifically (either through legal gymnastics or by settlement), then they didn't actually lie? And if Recall is "supposed" to be analyzed on-device but all your personal information somehow makes it to MS servers, they haven't lied to you unless someone successfully sues them in court?

They have it in their absolute authority to push out a patch at any time that will make the data be uploaded, even if it isn't right now.

Exactly. People don't want certain things but also want an ai to do other certain things and don't realize the path to 1 is thru the other.

How did you find your job?

Practically by accident. I didn't know the job was so nice before I got into it. I might have helped my luck by moving to a niche area which is dominated by nerds (Scala, with a Haskel-like functional bend). So, if a company is allowing the use of such, frankly crazy, technology, then it means that it is treating its tech people seriously, or is ran itself by crazy tech nerds.

Name and Shame!

Nope, I decided not to ruin that company/destroy the project I co-created even if it made me super angry at times.

The UK said the same to Australia. No one came during after the bombing of Darwin , in fact it was AU troops that ended up helping out the empire.

What made you switch?

Something like preemptive burnout. I didn't work long enough for it to be burnout per se, but I did work long enough to know I didn't want to turn my interest/hobby in to a career and wind up hating both.

ha Bullshit jobs is a great place to start.

Out of curiosity what is the reputation of Lurpak like in Denmark? It's top shelf butter in most mainstream supermarkets in the UK and Australia.

What? No it isn't, it's bog standard commodity butter. (UK)

It's marginally cheaper than Président, (3p/100g) and marginally more expensive than Country Life (5p/100g) on Ocado. Perhaps a better benchmark - Waitrose's own essentials one is 13p/100g cheaper, and Waitrose's 'Duchy Organic' is 1p/100g more expensive. i.e. it's in the range of everyday butters that people buy the same brand of every time because that's what they buy every time (because that's what they ...).

2 stars out of 6 https://www.berlingske.dk/det-sunde-liv/test-her-er-det-beds... I guess I prefer Thise for daily butter use.

Lurpak is pretty good for supermarket butter. But at least in Aus you can easily get more artisanal butter at the local deli or whatever. Pepe Saya is popular.

I wonder why large projects are never fully costed? Is it because the real cost would remove any initial appetite for the project?

The larger the project the more possible variables there are that can affect it. It's impossible to predict all of them.

There is a really good podcast on why large projects fail....

https://omegataupodcast.net/181-why-megaprojects-fail-and-wh...

It talks about sources of bias in estimates, and why that bias is so prevelant.

For public projects, there are usually rules forcing agencies to contract the lowest bidder. So companies will bid unrealistically low, then after a while make new claims. Theoretically they are in breach of contract, and the agency could get out of the contract - but at that point finding another contractor would add even more cost and much more time to the project.

Wow some really interesting choices in terms of architecture. Quite like how the employees have a nap after lunch. One of the main reasons I don't go for heavy lunches at work is because I feel so sleepy afterwards.
