Betting markets can be good predictors but I think what poly market is reflective of is not people who are looking for the optimal bet; but wish casting of crypto bros.
In the most bad faith way possible. They are going to get absolutely gutted on this.
They think they’re above the fray, but there’s a reason Google and Meta are taking DMA way more seriously than GDPR - it’s basically a speedboat loaded with explosives in regulatory terms.
It’s designed to move fast and take out targets with extreme prejudice. It is crafted to explicitly overcome the barriers that prevent GDPR being enforced (eg Ireland).
Apple is fucking around with the EU, and will very shortly find out why the DMA is written the way it is.
In my experience as a published academic author all the LLM will make up all kinds of plausible papers I “wrote” that don’t exist, academic positions I’ve never held, and the like.
Even if you give it a paper directly I’d not believe it to be reliable. Maybe it could help search for papers, but that’s it.
Very small team, only still exists because they are a rounding error to the CFO on the balance sheet, but otherwise they could go at any time.
Oddly their biggest strength is being irrelevant to the decision makers, if the bean counters noticed the few million they are losing on running Scholar there will be ads + Gemini all over it.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how an LLM trained in really high quality code would perform.
I’m far from impressed with the output of GPT/Claude, all they’ve done is weight against stack overflow - which is still low quality code relative to Google.
What is probability Google makes this a real product, or is it too likely to autocomplete trade secrets?
It’s a major security/privacy issue, you don’t want to tell world+dog all registered users, especially since that’s typically an email address.
Huge, huge, massive “no no”.
Likewise you still have to do sever side validation as any client side code can be modified, or you can just send payloads directly to the server. IMHO client side form validation is dangerous as it gives a false sense of security.
Migration is on my todo list, but it’s non trivial enough I’m not sure when I’ll ever have cycles to even figure out the best option. Gitlab? Self-hosted Git? Go back to SVN? A totally different platform?
Truth be told, Git is a major pain in the ass anyway and I’m very open to something else.
Exactly, there’s really like three dozen or so people globally who really should never be in the same room at the same time as the risk is too great they get hit by the same asteroid.
I’d put “person who makes sure WhatsApp verification codes work” on that list.
There are roughly 5 billion smartphone users now, those devices are almost always on and sending background data somewhere. By volume, more of that data guess to Google than anybody else, on the order of hundreds of network requests per device, per hour.
50 people is a pretty huge team at Google to start with, there’s teams of <5 that support weird bits of core infrastructure that serve billions of users an hour.
