Claude is trash? My experience says otherwise.

simonw and pfraze seem more than legit. Neither of them seem to be advertising. If I posted something related to where I work does that make it advertising?

This seems like a problem you manufactured yourself based on your two day old account to stir up some drama. That is not how this community works.

There are 100k glaciers and lakes tracked on that site. From what I can tell this is just a catalog. There seems to be no active data nor any kind of threat assessment. How can you conclude that this catalog makes this disaster avoidable?

I can think of two ways two ways of preventing this catastrophe or at least saving lives:

1. getting the world on reducing carbon dioxide at least from the 70s on worldwide. This also could have saved some lives in the middle east.

2. Use the list as an start for monitoring the glaciers and alerting the people for evacuation with an regular test of all alarming systems, but this also would have taken years to implement.

I think #2 would be a great business idea for some smart people to aggregate some satellite imagery with AI and you could create such a thing to monitor the glaciers and maybe lead to some predictive aspect which could aid an early warning system.

I think #1 requires a LOT more nuance than carbon levels.

I completely agree. I'm just asking if I missed something as a catalog of glaciers with monitoring data or threat assessment does not suggest preventable deaths to me. Unless of course I am missing these features on that site.

This catalog is meant to assist in identifying which Glaciers need ground level monitoring. Community involvement is essential in analysing and parsing the catalog on this site.

This was launched a week before the Nepal floods.

Yes, an here in lies the hypocrisy of our times where tech titans can have their information removed from public data sources (anyone remember the guy tracking Musk's plane?) while amassing staggering quantities of data about everyone else. Then have the gall to call for a "compromise" on their collection and selling of this data and our privacy.

So let's say a big company was willing to spend the money to do this. After creating millions of pull requests who is going to review merge these millions of AI authored patches?

400 million represents about 6 days of gross here or about 7% of net profits at TikTok. For ByteDance this "fine" represents less than a single day.

These fines and those on Facebook in the EU while astronomical in the traditional sense, are essentially the cost of doing business for social media.

$10k+ a year club programs are a specific product offering a specific potential outcome not related to recouping your investment or NIL. They offer access to D2 and D1 college play. Not every family wants this product nor can they afford it.

This does not preclude the existence of regional and local tournament only clubs that don't have the staffing overhead and travel requirements of nationally competitive clubs. These regional/local clubs sell a different product, one not related to D1 recruiting.

I personally feel that there are more opportunities for kids to (continue to) play today than there were a generation ago. When I was young organized sports (outside of school) ended at middle school unless you played on a national team. Sure the national team is way more expensive today but that does not mean that there are not opportunities to play at other levels with clubs offering a different product.

I find it amusing that he frames anyone who would purchase a baseball cap with an anti-flock message as: "broadcast(ing) their low socioeconomic status"

like all folding phones it is just too expensive for me to justify.

Yeah, you can almost buy two phones for that price. There you go, wireless foldable

I can buy at least my 3 last phones with this price

Need bordless phones and a frame to clip them together

Congratulation, you just made Surface Duo.

For me the biggest issue, frequently hearing and reading about broken inner screens, is that it makes the screen a consumable, which socks.

You mostly hear about the bad ones. Mine has been doing great for almost 2 years now. I use it in a clean environment, I'm very careful and not clumsy, so that helps.

Target is probably people only use phones, no note PCs. If you use note, its generally better to tether by phone and view and input from note.

The internet is s disappointing shit hole for me as well but that has more to do with algorithms, echo chambers, and attention theater. I get your point though.

The hard part is that there is essentially no such thing as customer service "at scale" not that any company actualy wants to invest in it. Still the internet could have dramatically improved customer service but instead it killed it.

In the near future when I want customer service to address an issue, I'll have my AI agent contact their AI agent and their agent can tell my agent to eat shit. End result will be the same though no such thing as customer service will exist.

I understand that customer data was an asset but why would it be legal or ethical to sell data shared with you to someone else? I mean I guess it was in the fine print and all but this seems wrong to me.
