Could be. Could also be that LLM is to OpenAI what information retrieval is to Google. A lot is publicly known in the information retrieval space, but google still dominates.
That is good point. The original Google designs are public, those were papers that were published. Anybody could create a new 'google', its just about getting name recognition and users. Guess example is DuckDuckGo, or Bing, they throw money at advertising just to get users, but underlying search isn't the problem.
The question the blog asks on election procedure is easy to get right, why does ChatGPT refuse to answer? I'd bet the answer it would otherwise produce is reasonable. Perplexity gives a fine answer. The collateral damage from fixing hallucinations seems to hurt accessibility.
There are all kinds of externalities, including safety, which are ignored. US tax policy which allows write offs only for large vehicles which are more likely to cause deaths. Tire emissions. Congestion pricing -- common in Europe -- needs years or reviews and lawsuits. NHTSA doesn't require bicycle test devices.
This may be ignorant, but why does green/blue bubble matter for US folks? Almost all cell providers have free SMS/MMS. Would people even notice it if the color was always blue?
Green/MMS messages end up having much lower quality images and videos than iMessages. Send the video to another iPhone user and they see it in HD. Send it via MMS and someone gets a blurry postage stamp video.
But from an Android phones perspective it is the iPhone users that have low quality images and compatibility. Whenever someone sends me an image or video from an iPhone it seems like their phone must be terrible.
These systems could work together if Apple wanted them to. Google / Android isn't the part that is preventing interoperability. So ultimately it really is an iPhone being bad problem. They've marketed the problem well to make it seem like it is the other way around in order to make iPhones more desirable.
because it doesn't allow nearly as large images/videos/etc to be sent. They either get dropped or reduced in size by various means. If you stick to text I've had no problems, if you don't you're on your own if your doing Android <-->iPhone . most of my friends use signal or whatsapp so it's not a big deal for me, but others have issues.
When it was brought up a bit ago, I thought I was aphantasic. It turned out I'm just poorly trained at it - I don't tend to rely on memory for physical details, and I'm aggressively poor at visual arts. With a little thought put into it, though, I realized I can "See" in my "Minds Eye", and with some active training I'm still not good at it - It's not a tool I reach for naturally - but I can "Imagine" some images if I try at it.
Look at something. Close your eyes. Retain the image. Try to "look" at parts of the image. Focus on parts of the image. Then... change them. No, that apple was green, not red. You know what a red apple looks like, you know what a green apple looks like; Focus on the overall feel of the rest of the image while the apple is different.
It's not easy, it's a trained skill, though I guess one that's pretty easy to acquire accidentally by daydreaming and doing art. I think I actually trained myself out of it as part of "safety" training; I stopped relying on mental models of many things and started forming mental models of the checklists to get them into that state.
Its one of my absolute favorite apps on my iPad. The app has a widget that tells you the top articles in the last 24h and the number of views. Very interesting “news” source.
Only if they think that 3% would not otherwise use Wikipedia. But in reality that 3% would just use the web app instead, no? In fact if they put a web link in the app store, would anyone even notice the difference?
OT I know, but I really don't get the whole native app thing, particualry for non-profits or charities.
But then you don't understand charities... that money has to be spent. And also builds competence. Maybe 3% now, but with a goal of 10%? Then we are talking millions of people.
Not sure I follow. Regardless of competence or whether "money has to be spent", if that 3% did not have a native mobile app to download, they would just use the mobile web app instead. Why not spend the money on the non-native offering and make that better?
Well, hard to say without knowing what goes on inside of the Wiki foundation, but I assume their ambition is to continue growing the native app. After all, most people prefer a native app feel (they don't necessarily always use it though - partly due to apps sometimes not reaching their true potential, and sometimes due to discovery is harder).
By the way, everywhere I've worked the traffic to mobile native has been around 3% I think. Engagement is much higher than with other channels mind you, so maybe that's it.
