Because the entirety of Google doesn't work in LaMDA. It's likely that both companies assign a similar number of employees and similar funds to their respective AI. Also don't forget that OpenAI receives a huge amount of money from Microsoft. And in addition to that, Google announced LaMDA in 2021, when OpenAI had already years in development in language models.

That depends on the problem domain, for example if you're flying in a commercial plane, do you care how much the door is opened, or whether it's opened/closed? The safety systems just check whether it's opened or not to raise an alarm, so for the safety systems, the door is a binary system

No. Binary is a mathematical concept that refers to 2 sets. Nothing is stopping you from creating a "true binary" system consisting of just 3 and 4, or even defining the state of a door (open/closed)

> she made the first move

Don't use that as an excuse, because that's not a valid excuse. As a more mature adult, you are supposed to know when some decision made by someone much more inexperienced is wrong. She made the move but you allowed it to continue.

> I'm not here to discuss the age gap in our relationship because we have already spoken a lot about it and we are at terms with it.

You brought this on yourself. It's clear that you're not at terms with it since you are concerned about her going out. Deal with your decision, she's much younger and in a completely different stage in life.

If you thought she was responsible enough to date you, surely you should know that she's responsible enough to go out with her friends. Don't let her feel bad about it. Dating you shouldn't deprive her of enjoying her 20s.

It's interesting how despite the US having about half the population of Europe, these companies make twice the revenue in the US.

As an outsider, it seems like the US healthcare industry is straight up scamming people.

Also, I'm willing to bet that due to universal healthcare in EU, people are more prone to go to the doctor and consume more medication.

You're right, this world cup is proving me wrong. I feel like the level of smaller teams has increased over the last few years and I'm all for it.

You're right, it's a very interesting world cup. Asian teams seem to be performing really well, and Canada was certainly a nice surprise. I hope this World Cup proves me wrong and underdogs get far.

You're right, this World Cup is proving to be great for the underdogs, and I wish them the best. As I said, I hope I'm wrong but I see it as a cash grab from FIFA to get more games crammed together. And as you said, I would change the representations from each continental division.

However, football is more than just some goals, and even though it's great to see underdogs winning, usually the bigger teams provide a better game style which is more beautiful to watch, and in my opinion that's what the World Cup is about, to provide the best spectacle possible.

I disagree, participating in the World Cup sould be a privilege for those teams that managed to classify, if more teams classify then it will make that process boring and being in the tournament will not be as special for some nations.

Also, more teams doesn't usually equals tougher competition, but rather weaker teams will play, therefore adding uninteresting matches, and better teams which used to play good football will now be more tired and won't play at their full potential to preserve more energy.

I hope I'm wrong but adding more teams just seems as a money grab from FIFA while the sport and show loses.

The same argument could be made that instead of adding more teams you add more games, so the World Cup instead of being every 4 years now turns into every 2 years. Sure, weaker teams now have a better chance, but the tournament wouldn't feel as special.

There's nothing wrong with faith being a priority, but it's wrong, and a bit sad, when this graph points out that in the US faith is a bigger priority than health, society or hobbies. Especially health.

Yes you're right, I misread

Interestingly, as you previously commented, you might be right why they are pulling so may ads nowadays, their revenue in 2016 was "only" 6.7$bn. And with how expensive you said it is to operate, I don't think they were making that much profit back then, even though it was still a massive corporation.

Yes I think that makes sense, nevertheless it's still odd given how big YouTube is. This might be why it has so few competitors, they would have to operate at a very big loss for many years, I don't think many companies have that much money to throw away

Given how big YouTube is, I expected it to generate much more profit. It's even smaller than Amazon in 1997

It's Portuguese, but it's registered in Oviedo (Spain) and has its headquarters in Madrid (Spain)

Its parent company EDP operates in Portugal, however EDP Renováveis basically operates as a Spanish company
