I also have questions about the data flows. 1. If I have a conversation about robotic cats, will OpenAI share how many people like me talk about this topic? 2. If I click an ad, will OpenAI share why the ad was relevant to the advertisement.
Anyways, I think they will be doing both. So conversation data would not be sold to advertisers, but statistics will be given freely.
Agree to an extent. There are absolutely unknown unknowns. But I think you'd be surprised how much data is obviously waste. Not the grey area, just pure garbage: health checks, debug logs left in production, redundant attributes.
But we don't stop there. You can go deeper with reasoning to root out the more nuanced waste. It's hard, but it's possible. That's where things get interesting.
With a Domain Specific Language (DSL), you parse code and build an abstract syntax tree. But you can also build a Python library where you construct the same tree. With the benefit that LLMs are already better trained on Python code. If you need a deterministic programming language, you could use starlark.
DSL is a term with such fuzzy meaning, I don't like it at all. It's always valid to just say "language". Languages and libraries don't even have to be opposing concepts either. Let's say you write the first ever JSON parsing library. Did you just create a library? Or a language?
A language is normally defined by a grammar and can be parsed. The definition can be very formal.
Alternatively a library is a construct in a pre-existing programming language. For example in Python you pip install a package, import some classes and functions.
But where these concepts can overlap is that you could define your domain logic as a language, or by calling functions in a library. In the past, I was a big believer in domain specific languages. However, AI will outperform when generating Python code with using a new library.
I have started gathering DSL specific content over on https://reddit.com/r/domainspecificlangs … there are several definitions over there. Personally I would distinguish between a drop down DSL and a full blown independent language.
A big part of advertising on Google is making sure your own brand is the top result. This is essentially extortion from Google. Companies are burning money on something that should be the default result in Google.
Should constructive feedback or contradictory viewpoints really be seen as negative sentiment? When reading the comment section of an article I would like to understand any nuances or shortcomings of something.
Furthermore, there should be a difference between a contradictory viewpoint and something that is truly negative.
For many of those who like and buy from gog, that would not go well at all. The whole point of gog is that you actually own a copy of the game when you buy it. A subscription-based access to games would be antithetical to that. It is the main, if not the only, selling point of gog currently.
We should all have e-mail backups regardless of which service we are on. Even Google shuts down accounts randomly. Owning your domain and having e-mail backups makes it easy to switch e-mail services.
True, just happened to one of my friend. 10 years old gmail account got suspended because he supposedly sent phishing emails. Which is completely false (he didn’t even understood what pishing was, he had google authenticator for totp). Ofcourse the appeal process was useless as no one reply to those. It’s been 2 months now. Own your domain.
But as long as you're using a registrar in your own country and a TLD managed by a legal entity in your own country, you do have a path of legal recourse against both parties.
It might not be successful, but you do have far better options than relying on a third party in a country far away.
Your registrar won't use automated tools to suddenly close your account. They have no reason to look at anything you're doing and most likely won't care as long as you pay your bills and they can pay theirs.
Google knows what you watch and post on Youtube, your emails, your google drive contents, your photos, contacts and everything. Any bit of that can trigger an automated ban for your account you can't recover from unless you know a Googler personally or can get through to their only working customer service outlet: the front page of HN.
The risk of loosing a domain, especially if used only for email, is lower than losing a google account. Using a gmail.com means that google owns both your emails and your email address and can do whatever they want with it.
Even if it's just your google account being locked for some random reason, good luck getting out of the situation and/or getting in touch with a human there.
If you can't access your gmail.com address anymore then you become locked out of so many other things.
Yes, I've started to think about this more seriously now in the UK. I have moderate political opinions, but I now ask myself will they be acceptable now or in the near future by the UK government or where my data is hosted (i.e. the US). Will I suddenly have an email account blocked or closed down for supporting a non-violent cause I believe in?
Horrible times when this has started to become a part of my thought process.
Anyways, I think they will be doing both. So conversation data would not be sold to advertisers, but statistics will be given freely.
