He's pivoting, but he's not going out publicly admitting he was wrong, exactly.

>The AI system used was a ConvNet used commercially circa 2021, which is when the data for this case series were collected.

Does this mean that newer AI systems would perform significantly differently?

Strictly in terms of architecture, CNNs are still SOTA for small data visual tasks, especially when the target is a locally specific phenomenon where global context isn't as necessary. It has good inductive bias for this.

The main known way to improve performance on tasks like this is getting more data.

Well, certainly not. We shouldn’t draw conclusions about modern AI systems from multi-generation old systems: one way or the other.

Not at all. There is no implication, implicit or explicit, that anything in the world is better or worse. It is just a statement of fact.

>better or worse.

Please quote where I used either word.

When I read the above comment I couldn't figure out what material they were using other than wood or plastic. I don't think using glass is common, at least I've never seen it in the US.

I was given one by a landlord once because a lot of renters here don't have the money to buy cutting boards so they will just cut directly on the kitchen counters.

I sharpen my own knives so that would be a no from me! I know a lot of people just throw their knives in a drawer or run them through the dishwasher so I guess glass would be fine for those.

Night owls who check in before they go to bed probably. I've done it, and I wasn't like "oh I will get some points for this!"

They do another startup of course.

Yeah. I know someone that started 4 companies and another that started 5. Out of those they had about a 50% success rate in selling to a larger company, stay about 3-4 years to vest, then leave to make a new start and repeat the cycle. Unfortunately I worked at 2 of the startups that failed.

I've been involved in building a multitude of saas apps and very few of them had any unique functionality. I'm not sure many of those companies cared about the uniqueness of their code.

SAP or Salesforce can do anything. Or you can write custom code for a fraction of the price for small/medium sized businesses.

Obviously, they care about the uniqueness of the code if they are one-offs.

My thought is that many of them thought their products were one-offs but were actually not in practice.

I have an M1 air that still lasts 7-8 hours on one charge. It's very different than the Intel battery life which I had 5 or 7 machines over the years.

Apple seems to be following a regular schedule of new Macbook Pros in October and Macbook Airs in March. Could change though!

Or they are saving the M4 Ultra name for later on ...

I feel like this should be up to the affiliate networks to kick Honey out of their programs for TOS violations right? Or Google removing it from the Chrome store?

Most of the merchants seem to be somewhere between indifferent and complicit in what Honey is doing, so there is no problem there (the teaser for part two seems to elude to what happens to the merchants who don't play along).

The Chrome team seems like the one that would be most pissed about this. While some aspects of their management of the extension ecosystem are problematic, they make an effort regarding trust and security. The reason Honey has to be so aggressive in getting you to click a button in that popup window is the browser won't allow it to interact with the page (to swap out the cookies) until the user has affirmatively interacted with the extension on that page. That is intended to prevent extensions from maliciously manipulating third-party sites without user consent.

I feel like if I did this, I would be charged under the CFAA with at least 5 years prison time.

"Cookie Stuffing" Internet Fraud Schemer Pleads Guilty

Thank you, this is incredibly relevant!

Yes well people get upset when antifa does anything

Agreed, this feels like fraud

I would imagine that it’s hard to remove content like that. Is it breaking any T&Cs? Is it illegal? Is it harmful to users? If not it’s hard to draw a line and apply it correctly in such a way that you don’t get sued for things like this.

Alternatively, Manifest v3 is supposed to make things like this a lot harder. Users would need to activate the plugin rather than the plugin popping up all the time if I understand it correctly. Manifest v3 was designed to enforce better privacy practices in the Wild West of browser extensions.

I was thinking the same about why don't they just remove it from the Chrome store, but I'm not sure of the relationship Google and PayPal have.

PayPal is one of the payment methods offered by Google for all kinds of things such as the Play Store, YouTube subscriptions etc. I use it myself for those purposes.

It might sour things between them?
