Specifically, if they’re going to lose even more on this venture now cranking it up to 11.

Since it appears other LLM companies are also currently losing lots in their offerings too

I remember reading an article about how Amazon would lose money every year on the Alexa service.

I wonder if /how that will change now after this.

I always appreciate it when other data scientists talk about making their data tell a story that upper management already decided they wanted confirmed for them. Makes me feel less alone. Thank you

I can offer some insight onto this, as I used to be in close proximity to a friend who worked in the concession group at the LAX version monitoring this policy.

It was called the 18% price protection policy program where concessionaires had to quarterly list 3 comparable vendors for each item sold showing how their item offered was only less than 18% above that of those found within a 10 mile radius of the airport. In reality, it was too much asked of low skilled and low margin vendors with power to enforce not being exercised due to managements prioritization of more pressing matters.

In reality, there was little by way of enforcement, it was too much regulation to pass down to those vendors even, with that being only 1 of 5-10 policies an excel sheets they had to provide quarterly data on, entered manually. They vendors had so much turnover themselves and employees who didn't specialize in providing that sort of data, they would always fall behind with all the policies and regulation they had to comply with that enforcing it on them was hollow and without power. And when they did provide data, it was poorly formatted, required man hours to read and research and in the end might not even have been a valid "comparable" data that was provided, but, to verify their data provided would require manual audits of physically inspecting 10-100 individual comparables that were given that it was a nightmare, and thus, never got done. There wasn't enough staff at either the vendor nor the airport authority to properly see the implementation of the price protection policy.

The city could technically use its power to make it a priority, but, there were always much more urgent matters at same position that it was a on the back burner, it seemed.

Can you share with us the main differentiator your product has over some behemoth like Google translate? I'm personally an occasional tourist to Japan only and wish I could find a course in "tourist essentials" or "Tourist fluent" Japanese

Over experimenting with my own body with diet through about 20 years I'm always amazed at how big a role habit plays in appetite.

When I did intermittent fasting I got into the habit of never needing food until around 4pm.

The body adapts fairly quickly to whatever inputs you feed it, and it's amazing how little of diet advice focuses on that, to me

I agree with all the above. Nothing to do with the username, either.

Nice, my Georgia tech OMSA classes have finally reached real world instance of hearing something I learned about. Thx
