quite interesting! I had approached this via a completely different direction back during lockdown as well (haha on the top comment), and it was an extremely similar experience to what they described. It's a really fun side project but won't have many use-cases then the occasional amusement (which I personally really like, but learnt that things like that don't sell easily)

Keep Android Open 5 months ago

How can one expect anything for free from a mega corporation handling a product? The "free" software and tools are for indirectly a way for the community to improve the thing for them, however android is a product, which has incentives to be closed source. Especially since the Chinese ROMs era where there exist forks which are too far away from base android already (which will benefit from improvements of android but will not give back the benefits they have in their closed-source flavors)

Has anyone noticed drop in the performance of EVERY model from every company just before they release their new state of the art stuff, so that the contrast looks bigger? Just me being paranoid?

Facebook is cooked 5 months ago

What isn't cooked?

THE MUCH SCARIER cooked state is that of wikipedia and anything noting down history, if we ever uncover something from the past, how the HELL can we know for sure it wasn't AI generated? we are absolutely cooked as a species.

I was in tokyo for quite a while in my most formative years, i love thisss. I think TinEye usage is cool, but aren't there better CV models out there which would fit this use case? Just wondering.

The problem is that a functional social network is a bad business model.

A chronological feed has a "stop" point. You catch up, you feel satisfied, and you close the app. Meta’s revenue depends on you never feeling caught up. That’s why the "Feeds" tab is buried three menus deep—it’s there so they can say it exists, but hidden so you stay stuck in the algorithmic slop.

Even if they made it the default, you’re still left with the trust issue. You aren’t the customer; you’re the data being mined. At this point, the brand is probably too far gone for a simple UI tweak to fix the underlying rot.
