They seem to like to iterate. The Falcon 9s flying now are essentially version 5. I can imagine they’ll keep experimenting with Starship designs for a while.
I agree the article seemed disingenous and almost felt like it was shady (can you believe the EU lets them cancel in a sane way?!). When I hear ARR, I don't think of an annual contract. ARR is equivalent to MRR*12 and can be a mix of contract types or even utility spend ($ per bytes). I understand that "committed spend" is when a business agrees to pay $XX annually, but that's not defined by ARR.
Sure but if you actually have customers paying the annual fee in one go (instead of 12 monthly payments when they can cancel at anytime) the ARR number will be much more reliable. With MRR12 you're counting people who sign up for a month and quit.
And ARR assumes it's recurring too - it's a metric that (people incorrectly think) shows how good your business is at retaining revenue year-over-year.
If a big proportion of contracts in Y1 get terminated at the end of the 12m period (because, say, the customer forgot to renew) - then the ARR will drop like a rock in Y2.
OP is taking videos of his baby with these when Meta's page here doesn't event mention data privacy or security of the user's information or how it protects them
I was thinking about that a while ago and came to the conclusion that it's likely massively helped out by the narrow search space. They aren't trying to match between every single person, just the ones in your photo library which is an extremely small group compared to what most facial recognition is doing.
Google's face recognition can't tell the difference between my 5yo and my newborn. And, most hilarious, my 8yo could unlock my wife's iPhone with face recognition when she was 2yo.
Google Photos works in a near perfect extremely constrained closed system: your photos have fewer than a hundred faces, it likely biases uncertainties with more confidence due to those constraints.
Funny because I don't use the feature and in my review tab I have like 15 versions of myself that google thinks are all different people for me to individually name. Mostly different phases of facial hair.
Well. Until that film or metadata getting uploaded on Meta servers or checked by some local child-safety AI, getting flagged for inappropriate meterial and police knocking on your door.
This is what I expect. Theyre Not hiring even engineers. By the time they have a strategy, plan, hire, and act on that plan they will be behind the curve, and force to use the $ to acquire someone who did.
