Flutter - the framework - is great. Dart as a language is tolerable - lot of ugly boilerplate, manual codegen, and things you can't quite express correctly are everywhere, but if you're not too much of a stickler, Flutter is still worth it (at least until Compose Multiplatform matures - if ever).

Shouldn't AI be good at detecting and flagging ads like these?
Sounds like this was the strategy from the very beginning - get tons of attention with crazy unrealistic announcements, then later turn it into a boring old regular city after everyone already recognizes the name.
With enough technological advances, they might be able to just switch to salt water.
It's silly to imagine all these "way out there" scenarios without also imagining progress in other areas.
Pretty sure these things need to be certified and there are laws about what parts you are and are not allowed to use.
Not saying highly regulated industries don't ever have problems (look at Boeing), but it's not like they can just arbitrarily decide to cut costs wherever.
There are many different types of capacitors, most of which don't contain any liquid at all (including the most common type - ceramic capacitors).
But in general, you would use specially rated components and materials if you need them to last decades - not the cheapest most basic parts you can find.
Other types of implanted devices have dealt with the same things decades ago.
Some already give you a 30% "discount" (i.e. the regular price is just higher) if you sign up for an entire year.
It does - it's also mentioned in the article.
At least Android also proactively asks them whether to disable notifications for an app if they always swipe them away, or if they haven't used the app in a long time.
I gave GPT-4 a simple real-world question about how much alcohol volume there is in a certain weight (I think 16 grams) of a 40% ABV drink (the rest being water) and it gave complete nonsense answers on some attempts, and straight up refused to answer on others.
So I guess it still comes down to how often things appear in the training data.
(the real answer is roughly 6.99ml, weighing about 5.52grams)
After some follow-up prodding, it realized it's wrong and eventually provided a different answer (6.74ml), which was also wrong. With more follow-ups or additional prompting tricks, it might eventually get there, but someone would have to first tell it that it's wrong.
You have to go where the people are.
Which is exactly like the "camera collabs" that phone makers sometimes do that end up being nothing more than marketing gimmicks.
Like the OnePlus camera "by Hasselblad" that is quality wise the same as any other smartphone camera in that price category.
