That's great! So someone finally built the zero-shot model from the sales decks of 2015 =D

How is this different from the categorisation models from ML era?
Re:When did Google get so f-ing weird? on Sunday September 27, 2026 @06:53PM (#49871632)
Google did crazy things to reduce the cost of delivering search results and now they have shifted to AI overviews which definitely is a costlier way to present results. What does this mean for the company in the long term?
Re:Microsoft killed FoxPro in 2007. Anyway, here's FoxPro revived on Wednesday September 23, 2026 @02:32AM (#49812437)
OMG what a blast from the past. We were taught FoxPro in school in 2002 for some reason. Not even Visual FoxPro, the old school DOS version. It taught me a lot about scripting and I remember helping out a medical rep who had built a FoxPro app to manage his business while in college.
Re:Charts built for Chat on Tuesday September 15, 2026 @03:05AM (#49708816)
Okay nice chart, but can I click in and filter into the data? Visualisations are not what a BI tool does; it's just the tip of the iceberg.
Re:We built our house for LAN parties on Tuesday September 08, 2026 @08:59PM (#49619351)
My cat refused to use the automated one.
The actual reason was when they pushed Google+ and tried to make that the centre of Google. Everything else that had a social element had to be killed. Anything that breathed the same oxygen as plus got the boot.

So they turned a couple of millisecond operation to a 30 second operation?
Re:Clerky Is Joining Stripe on Wednesday August 26, 2026 @10:52PM (#49458984)
I think Stripe is looking at companies using their services and identifying companies to acquire. This reminds me of Facebook looking at data from pixel data to identify apps with heavy usage they could acquire.
Re:Copyright does not protect AI-generated content in EU on Thursday August 20, 2026 @09:49PM (#49382700)
Microsoft is using AI generated code in their OS, so does that mean they lose copyright protection in Europe?

Why do you buy used books? You sound like the person who would prefer new books.
Re:Businesses with ugly AI menu redesigns on Wednesday July 22, 2026 @10:07PM (#49015931)
Restaurants used to have stock images everywhere from menus, to flyers, and posters. I don't remember much talk about it to the extent we have with AI generated images. I prefer to judge restaurants on the quality and taste of food, unless they're charging me a fine-dining rate for it.
It was a good UX in FriendFeed as it was still a chronological feed. However once it was mixed with algorithmic feed it shifted from better UX to keep em' hooked.
Re:Resetting Xbox on Monday July 06, 2026 @07:23PM (#48811794)
As an occasional gamer I hate modern big budget games as it takes me 15minutes to get gaming between launcher, updates, loaders and other distractions. It then takes me another 15minutes to get back to speed on which mission I was working on. By then I have 30 minutes left to game. Due to this, I frequently pick up older snackable games and skip AAA games altogether.
This person made it from scratch with no prior experience, so the bragging rights are well earned.
Re:Om Malik has died on Thursday June 25, 2026 @11:03PM (#48681894)
I used to be tech-journalist in an earlier avatar and Om was someone who I always turned to for inspiration and context. I learnt a lot from the way he wrote, thought and perceived the world of technology. Om shanti, I wish you a great new beginning.
Re:'Ghost jobs' could soon be illegal in New York on Tuesday June 23, 2026 @12:02AM (#48640122)
Does this also cover all other employment agencies creating listing for the same one job, making it look like there are 20 openings while there is just one?
Most loud voices get obsessed with a specific definition of a dish and I think for the sake of creativity we should/would shift to using creative names to accommodate preferences.
Re:AI Is Slowing Down on Monday June 08, 2026 @09:36PM (#48455062)
People who use ChatGPT have fed so much data about their own lives and interests into it. This includes a lot of information about personal lives, interests, plans, business and even family! Shifting to another AI app is painful as they would need to start from scratch.

Re:My Students Can't Read on Tuesday June 02, 2026 @08:58PM (#48378344)
Ai was trained on news and journal articles and this is the reason we see so many em-dashes as well. The side effect is that good writing is now classified as AI generated, which makes it bad writing. What a messed up world we live in

No, I was just checking it out on Google Fonts and I could not see a way to change the colours of the sub-pixels which is affecting the readability.
Re:Private Equity Bought America's Essential Services on Wednesday May 27, 2026 @09:19PM (#48303086)
> ban interest-based loans to private individuals

LOL, read up on how baking and loans in Islamic countries work. Banks buy whatever you want and then sell it to you partially at a higher rate. The customer then pays a rent for the portion owned by the bank till the principle is paid off. No interest charged technically, but effectively they do pay; except it is now kosher/halal. We humans use language to work around every such restriction by debating on the literal meaning of any such religious restrction.
