You realize this change by country, right? At least in my country (Brazil), Chinese cars already have a reputation for quality lol


X algo is not that amazing for that to happen. We are not talking about Tiktok.


Old algo. They replaced X algo a while ago, it uses Grok...


'it uses grok' means what?


If you mean minute-accurate forecast for the next 4-6 years... That's called Nowcasting, and yes, it exists. Bing Weather have it, ACCU Weather as well. Rain viewer too. I believe Google already implemented on Pixel Weather at least.

IMO the best of these are Bing Weather and Rain Viewer, both provide rich maps showing where the rain it's going and all too. And how much.


Did you mean 4-6 hours?


Yes! Sorry... hahahahaha I wish we were able to predict 6 years!


No.


Google AI Overview a lot of times write wrong about obvious things so... lol

They probably use old Flash Lite model, something super small, and just summarize the search...


Those summaries would be far more expensive to generate than the searches themselves so they're probably caching the top 100k most common or something, maybe even pre-caching it.


It does memorize. But that's not actually very news.... I remember ChatGPT 3.5 or old 4.0 to remember some users on some reddit subreddts and all. Saying even the top users for each subreddit..

The thing is, most of the models were heavily post-trained to limit this...


Weirdly, Netflix on my Samsung TV it's been a few months it's using only H264. Not AV1. When they first launched AV1, it worked there...

Honestly not complaining, because they were using AV1 with 800-900~kbps for 1080p content, which is clearly not enough compared to their 6Mbps h.264 bitrate.


they may have determined the decoding of av1 was too poor or that software decoding av1 wasn't a good idea.


I mean... I bought a Samsung TV in 2020, and it already supported AV1 HW decoding.

2020 feels close, but that's 5 years.


Two years ago I bought a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 phone (TSMC 4nm, with 12 GB LPDDR RAM, 256 GB NAND flash, and a 200 megapixel camera). It still feels pretty modern but it has no AV1 support.


Is that supposed to be long-lived for a TV?

I'm running an LG initially released in 2013 and the only thing I'm not happy with is that about a year ago Netflix ended their app for that hardware generation (likely for phasing out whatever codec it used). Now I'm running that unit behind an Amazon fire stick and the user experience is so much worse.

(that LG was a "smart" TV from before they started enshittifying, such a delight - had to use and set up a recent LG once on a family visit and it was even worse than the fire stick, omg, so much worse!)


> Is that supposed to be long-lived for a TV?

I don't see anything in that comment implying such a thing. It's just about the uptake of decoders.


If, by chance, you're not running the latest version RootMyTV [0] may be an option. Or downgrade might still be an option [1].

Fire Stick is the most enshittified device (which is why it was so cheap). AppleTV is fantastic if you're willing to spend $100. You don't need the latest gen; previous gen are just as good.


Came here to comment exactly this. Even opened github expecting to see something...


What about Telegram?


Telegram, which ostensibly claimed to provide e2e but really only did in very specific circumstances? My right wing uncle is still bitter about that. Then there's the rolling over the founder did after getting pulled up by Interpol.

I'm not sure why anyone would trust Telegram.


Exactly what "rolling over" would that be?

Maybe you don't believe Durov's statement[0] about it. But is there any actual evidence anywhere that they've ever violated the secrecy of non-e2e private groups or messages for anyone? I've yet to find any.

Oh, I agree. it's just, they mentioned things like Twitter DM, Messenger and forgot Telegram...


That wasn’t the original question though. Twitter and Messenger are also untrustworthy. Telegram’s message export is very good compared to all the other options.
