bezoz··on The Final Straw: Why Companies Replace Once-Beloved Technology Brands
Microsoft Windows is doomed isn’t it? It fits every single category in your list
bezoz··on Meta's value has plunged by $700B. Wall Street calls it a “train wreck.”
(Disclaimer: i am an ex meta employee)

This is unfortunate because genuinely i like where they are going with VR and they have pushed the technology forward considerably. Their metaverse vision makes no sense to me though but hopefully they course correct

I do hope meta recovers from this. The real risk is going to be mark’s mental health and his ability to stay focused amongst this insanity. We shall see

bezoz··on Ad blocking is under attack (2017)
Congratulations. You are now in violation of the highway code of ethics as billboard revenue is how they pay for creating those highways. By not looking at them, you are lowering their roi, costing them more money and this is akin to stealing

I kid i kid

bezoz··on Ask HN: Can you recommend me a fast, light text editor for Windows?
but why is it your backup option? Any reason you don't use it as a first option?
bezoz··on Mastering the Game of Stratego with Model-Free Multiagent Reinforcement Learning
So we have gone from DQN to Alpha Go to Alpha Zero to Mu Zero to Deep Nash? Every time I thought I have figured out their naming scheme, they come out with something even more unpredictable.
bezoz··on “Magic links” can end up in Bing search results, rendering them useless
Actually, you are right. I stand corrected, this really is a new low
bezoz··on “Magic links” can end up in Bing search results, rendering them useless
tldr: In 2022, whether you are a paying customer or a free customer, YOU are the product and you will be squeezed for all you got (not specific to Microsoft at all)
bezoz··on Hexwords: Hex colors that are similar to words
This would make a pretty cool MIT Mystery Hunt puzzle!
bezoz··on Incorrectly deleted from Facebook? Getting back on might take connections
I am a facebook employee and even I had my instagram account banned ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
bezoz··on Only 4% of iOS users in US are opting in to ad tracking, report says
I thought this setting was per app. Is it 4% across all apps?
bezoz··on Google veteran pans Tesla Autopilot: “We were doing better in 2010”
I mean this in the friendliest and nicest way possible, but your arguments make you come off as extremely biased, and makes it harder to have a discussion with you. For example, a quick search reveals lane departure systems were in pretty good shape in 2010 on a Kia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lane_departure_warning_system#...). It is hard to assess your argument that Tesla can deploy their semis tomorrow... etc.

From my previous personal experience, once you start having discussions like these, the original poster gets hostile, moves the target post... etc.

bezoz··on Zoom zero-day discovery
The positive "tilt" in this article is honestly amusing and unusual for such articles

"zero-day discovery makes calls safer" "Understandably, Zoom has not yet had the time to issue a patch for the vulnerability" "This event, and the procedures and protocols that surround it, demonstrate very nicely how white-hat hackers work"

Imagine if that was your run of the mill well-hated big corp

"Yet another security vulnerability leaves millions at risk" "XYZ Corp shows its incompetence once again exposing users' private data to hackers" etc etc

No specific point here. I am just amused!

bezoz··on Facebook Says It’s Your Fault That Hackers Got Half a Billion User Phone Numbers
I am confused, where exactly does their statement say it is our fault?
bezoz··on Mark Zuckerberg's phone number appeared among the leaked data of Facebook users
Maybe Mark Zuckerberg can sue Facebook, get a handsome reward and just put it back in the company, so it all evens out in the end?
bezoz··on What will the major ML research trends be in the 2020s?
I sincerely hope this decade will be when ML algorithms will finally hit human level intelligence level (a la Ex Machina)
