I just looked and of course there are: https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005010679835500.html

The deal might have been signed a month ago, just before earnings, when the stock was about that price.

> Have you seen their Auto Caption? It's utterly incapable of understanding speech.

How recently have you looked? I think nowadays it's quite good.


> I don't think they 'index' videos, per se.

I'm pretty sure they do. They already index metadata (you can see it in the web search results) so indexing the transcript is relatively easy.


I bought a connected oxymeter (viatom). I wore it overnight on my finger with the phone nearby. The graph on the app shows exact values through the night so you can see how many time oxygen drops and for how long. It's not quite as good as the real thing but should give you an idea, and it's cheap.


> Most road maintenance crews probably aren't sitting around

Assuming that's true, the most likely explanation is that they are working on Big Projects. Pothole maintenance is (probably) behind these projects, even though it can be done without affecting their timeline.


In many parts of then world you can't repair these (properly) until the weather gets warmer. Leads to a big initial backlog in the spring.


"Projects" (whatever that means to your municipality) are almost always contracted out. The maintenance crews maintain. Sometimes they do a little pre/post work for the big projects but mostly they maintain stuff. It's not like they're being pulled off a bridge replacement to fill a pothole.


I used AI to shop for shops of clothes. But I would probably use it directly if I trusted it to give me good results.


That was me. I complained a lot about meetings, design docs, etc. I did not understand that the process of discovery is messy and what looks inefficient is not really. I expected sharper meetings, shorter docs etc. In retrospect I see my naivety but it took me too long to change my attitude.


Is it from ANTS? I haven't gotten anything yet.


Same with household appliances. Most of the familiar names are shadows of their former selves. Unlike in clothes though the quality alternatives are usually really expensive.
