And of course, the same principle must apply to the resulting AI models themselves.

Flash was pretty significant in the web's journey to where it is today. For things like online video, it was the least pain in the ass way, in a time when the alternative was crapware plug-ins like RealPlayer, QuickTime, or Windows Media Player.
YouTube probably wouldn't have existed without Flash and FLV.
They could be forced to by EU law eventually.
There has been some uncertainty about the feasibility of fulfilling the interoperability requirement in the Digital Markets Act. Standards like this could clearly show it can be done without compromising security.
He does often mention that others do it too, and has videos about other companies like Samsung, or camera companies, just not nearly as much.
But I still want to allow sound on a small number of select sites like YouTube or Twitch. It just needs to be off for the other 99% of the web.
For me it's the force of habit. I'm already used to the UI, I know where everything is, what to expect, I can navigate it very quickly and set it exactly how I want.
All the features I'm used to like comment drafts or the comment navigation bar (jump between top-level comments easily) are right where I'm used to. Doing the Android "back" gesture from the left works like it should, I don't have to confirm exit with a button, all these small things.
It's also very polished, for example I encountered two issues with Connect:
-
it didn't handle internet dropping out (e.g. temporary loss of mobile signal) well - it just kept failing on the retry button even after connectivity was restored, had to restart it
-
the search in the sidebar didn't show all the matching communities, this seems to have improved recently
Not the same thing, audio will still start playing after user interaction with the site. The setting in Chrome blocks all audio from the site, regardless of what you do.
I couldn't find the setting "don't give websites the permission to play sound" (mutes all audio unless enabled per-site) in Edge, or Firefox. Chrome has that setting.
As long as the demand from customer is there, someone will operate that service. UberEats alone is easily replaceable.
To be fair, I'm sure the Baltic states and other NATO members in eastern Europe are glad that Russia doesn't dare mess with them directly. The deterrence results in their safety.
On mobile web in iOS browsers, they'll just do the old "install our app to continue" move.
As a tech worker in Europe, the concept of "deserving" or "not deserving" a specific number has always been a total joke. Your salary is like 80% determined by location alone.
Any notion of "merit" (whatever that even means, there isn't even a good way of measuring it in many industries) has always been only very loosely correlated with compensation.
So if you can get it, go get it.
