I had an issue with my @maticrobots this past week and received incredible support and a replacement part arrived in 3 days. @madebygoogle asks you to ship your phone in to them for up to 7 days because their sole authorized repair partner has no ability to order parts. It's not even a money thing. Take care of your customers. Charge me! But find a path that's not requiring a dad of three to live phoneless for a week in 2026.
Replying to @madebygoogle
My phone, 9 pro, had a pink line immediately after an Android update. Now also has a green line. And I'm still waiting for Ubreakifix to magically find a replacement screen or for your support to try even a little bit.

I've been a happy Google Pixel owner for a long time. 2/4/6/9 etc. Nexus before that. Their support is egregious lol. Don't buy one of these. Ubreakifix is their (only? At least in my area) repair partner, and Ubreakifix has no ability to order replacement screens. Google support via email, the "escalation" path is absolutely brutal.

Use the smartest model, at all times, pay the bill, conquer the task, deliver value, and move onto the next.
There's a lesson here for everybody who thinks that "I'll just use a cheaper model for certain tasks" It's *very* hard to know in advance how smart a model has to be to do a task. If it's not smart enough, it will likely keep trying, using cheaper but more tokens.

Humans aren't smarter; but we do have quite energy efficient compute.
Interesting: “Displacing white collar work would require orders of magnitude more compute intensity than the current level utilization. If automation expands rapidly, demand for compute definitionally rises, pushing up its marginal cost. If the marginal cost of compute rises above the marginal cost of human labor for certain tasks, substitution will not occur,creating a natural economic boundary.”

I'm honestly astonished that Citadel Securities published a rebuttal to the @Citrini7 piece. citadelsecurities.com/news-a…
