Given they’ve open sourced the model and their training techniques, shouldn’t it be pretty easy to get an order of magnitude estimate on if their training estimates are in the right ballpark?

Because they refurbished it and it’s back up after 40 years (we didn’t just suddenly communicate with extra terrestrials).

The amount of real engineering that must have gone into a system like this is incredible. They didn't have the benefit of being able to iterate on an existing technology -> this is real hacking.

Having worked on the streets dataset for a FAANG, I'm blown away at the ingenuity here.

These are uncannily on-point. Amazing how the model incorporates mostly unwritten, but often accurate subtext into these outputs.

New comment by erex78 in "You can only share files up to 5 times/month with non-Google accounts"

erex78 — Mon, 16 Jan 2023 21:13:59 +0000

Gsuite / Google for Work user?

There is a newly enforced limit on (paid!) Google Workspace accounts - you can only share files with non-Google users up to 5 times each calendar month. Note that this doesn't cap external accounts, just those that are non-Google. So want to share with your personal Gmail account - no problem. More than 5 @hotmails - nope!

Only way around is to upgrade to a plan that is double the price.

"Important: If you use a Google Workspace Business Starter or Frontline account, you can share files up to 5 times each calendar month with non-Google accounts. Each time is defined as sharing one document with one visitor."

Not sure who at Google thought this was the right way to upsell business accounts. Also, there is no mention of this limit in any plan description (eg. https://support.google.com/a/answer/6043385).

Feels like a shake-down.
