Why would you talk to it? Why would you spend a few hundred dollars for it to do what any calculator app would do? Why would you let it take up space just to be a glorified alarm clock?

Sure, the intercom feature might be helpful. But who needs an internet-connected device listening to your every word? \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBut with Alexa, Amazon managed to capture lightning in a bottle…er…can. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI know this is subjective, but Alexa -- more so than Siri or Google's assistant -- seems to have just the right balance between personality and helpfulness, between capability and functionality. Whether you're setting a timer while cooking, performing a hands-free math calculation while writing, pausing whatever streaming service you're watching on the Roku TV to ask a trivia or general interest question, Alexa is usually relatively helpful.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn 2022, Alexa is ubiquitous. A lot of families have one in practically every room. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThere's no doubt she's a faceless AI front for a giant corporation, but she has generally always been a friendly, helpful faceless AI front for a giant corporation. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EThe times they are a-changin'\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBut that helpfulness seems like it might be about to change. Last week, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.aboutamazon.com\u002Fnews\u002Fsmall-business\u002Falexa-can-now-help-brands-answer-customer-questions\"\u003EAmazon announced\u003C\u002Fa\u003E it's about to introduce vendor-supplied answers for common Alexa questions. Here's how Amazon describes it: \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cblockquote\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe capability is called Customers ask Alexa, and it works like this: When customers pose questions to Alexa, including queries related to a product's features or compatibilities, Alexa responds with helpful answers provided by brands from those product categories. \t\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFor example, a customer shopping for cleaning products on Amazon.com could ask, \"How can I remove pet hair from my carpet?\" A brand can now provide answers to such questions, along with links to its Amazon storefront. \t\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003ERuh-roh.\u003C\u002Fem\u003E \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAmazon says these are not paid ads. Vendors aren't paying for placement. Instead, there's going to be a new Customers ask Alexa feature in Seller Central, where vendors can see questions and answer them using \"self-service tools.\" Answers will then be moderated by an Amazon team tasked with such things. All answers will be attributed to the brand that answers them. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAccording to Rajiv Mehta, general manager of Alexa Shopping at Amazon, \"Amazon recognizes brands as experts on their products. With this new capability, we have made it easier for brands to connect with customers to help answer common questions and better inform their purchase decisions.\" \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EYeah, there's no way this could go wrong. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPlaying to the algorithm for priority on the SERP (search engine response page) has already irrevocably changed editorial journalism. Most articles (mine included) go through an SEO review. Even if a headline would be enormously appealing to humans (or simply make the most sense), it might be nuked in favor of one that has higher Google juice. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"pinbox\" data-uuid=\"635210bb-41ff-11e4-b6a0-d4ae52e95e57\" data-uri=\"\u002Fapi\u002Fcomponent\u002Feditorial\u002F635210bb-41ff-11e4-b6a0-d4ae52e95e57\" data-float=\"right\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EYes, you're still getting valuable content (if I do say so myself), but SEO looms large in almost every editorial decision on almost every website. It's just what everyone now has to do to keep the revenue stream (which is necessary to produce and run expensive publications) coming in. We all need good content, and we all need to pay our bills. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIt's not unreasonable to expect that vendors will vie for positional prominence in Alexa's vendor-supplied answer system. It's also not unreasonable to expect that sales pitches, even if disguised as oh-so-helpful responses, will invade those answers. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis \"service\" is not expected until October, so we don't have any sample answers. But we can certainly expect questions like \"Should I use scissors or electric clippers to cut my hair\" might result in something like, \"Never pay for a haircut again with this new cutting-edge design and look your best without the help of others. This answer brought to you by ManGroomer, the ultimate do-it-yourself hair cutting kit. Would you like me to send you one? It can be there in two days.\" \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ENow, to be fair, the \u003Cspan data-shortcode=\"commercelinkshortcode\" data-id=\"7409272b-75e6-4691-817f-230a4e16f525\" data-raw-url=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FMANGROOMER-ULTIMATE-Self-Haircut-Clippers-Waterproof\u002Fdp\u002FB0745SC21L\u002F\" data-link-shortcode-text=\"ManGroomer\" data-use-monetization=\"true\" data-edition=\"us\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fspan\u003E is awesome and \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fthe-mangroomer-because-video-conferencing-requires-that-you-dont-look-like-a-werewolf\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003Edid save me from considerable Zoom meeting embarrassment\u003C\u002Fa\u003E during the height of the pandemic lockdowns. But that's not the point. Being pitched, even for products that work, spoils the helpful relationship many of us have developed with Alexa. No longer is she a trusted helpful friend, she's yet one more door-to-door salesperson trying to sell you something -- except she's already inside the house. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWe've all had that friend who got all caught up in a multilevel marketing scheme. Now, instead of talking about \"how 'bout them Yankees?\", every other word is a pitch for some MLM product or another. It's annoying, off-putting, and can eventually cause damage to the relationship. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIt's true that Alexa has already offered some items at random times before (Amazon Music comes to mind). We always answer with an annoyed \"Ah, no. Nuh-nuh-no.\" Sometimes she pops up with a yellow-ringed alert that's a reminder to do something about an upcoming Subscribe and Save order. But these promos and notifications have, so far, not been specifically tied to third party vendors. They don't give vendors a way to game the system for the best SEO answer results. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis is my concern for Alexa. Amazon's engineers have managed to train Alexa for just the right balance of helpfulness and unobtrusiveness. But if she's constantly trying to push an upsell at us, it's going to get old. First it's ads on answers. Then, perhaps, it would be ads in our timers. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"pinbox\" data-uuid=\"61084233-a6d5-4845-a3c7-00962525c926\" data-uri=\"\u002Fapi\u002Fcomponent\u002Feditorial\u002F61084233-a6d5-4845-a3c7-00962525c926\" data-float=\"right\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003E\"Alexa, set timer for 10 minutes.\"\u003C\u002Fem\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003E\"Timer set for ten minutes.

This was anomalous because we never used that account to make purchases from Amazon. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECHECKCARD AMAZON. COM AMZN.C SEATTLE WA ON 07\u002F15 - $193.77 \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe charge was incurred on 7\u002F15, just three days earlier. We immediately did a deep dive into all our Amazon-related accounts, looking for a charge of $193.77. We were hoping against hope that we would find something to confirm it was legitimate because we didn't want to shut down our checking account, which had many active transactions and payments which had not yet cleared. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWe found no legitimate charge and became convinced the charge was fraudulent. Our next step was to contact the bank's fraud department. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWe spoke to a very helpful representative who clarified that the charge was, indeed, from Amazon. But it wasn't a charge on our bank account. It was a charge on a rarely-used debit card attached to that account. We immediately closed that card, and the bank assured us they would return that amount to our account within a few days. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAt this point, we had eliminated the risk of further fraudulent transactions and financial harm to us.

This wasn't a case of a fraudster faking Amazon's identity to charge our card for cash. Instead, the crooks used our debit card to actually buy something from Amazon. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhere, exactly, the criminals got our debit card details remains unclear. There were no geographical records, so we couldn't determine if the fraudsters were local and had somehow skimmed the card or were far away and had somehow obtained the card's digits through a hack or a nefarious credential purchase. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe amount and purchase method were interesting because an extra under-$200 Amazon purchase during Prime Day week could go unnoticed by anyone with lax bookkeeping. It wasn't an amount so high as to fire off an immediate panic, but it was certainly enough to provide value to the fraudster. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIf we weren't the only victim of this crook's activity, I'm betting they got away with many charges that went unnoticed. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E How we stayed safe \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOur system works.

These scams may claim there's been a fraudulent access attempt or make some other request for identity. Our bank's fraud rep told us that this was a big cause of scams they were encountering. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIf you receive a message claiming to be from Amazon, do not click on any links.

Starting in major cities, including Chicago, Dallas, San Diego, and -- no surprise -- Seattle, Amazon plans to have the vehicles in more than 100 cities shortly and will expand to more than 100,000 vehicles across the U.S. by 2030. While Rivian had the inside track as a company that Amazon has invested in, the EV company will have to feature more than just electrification to compete long-term in an industry where electrification will start to become the norm.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"pinbox\" data-uuid=\"cef866c5-b380-406c-8e6d-66676b436480\" data-uri=\"\u002Fapi\u002Fcomponent\u002Feditorial\u002Fcef866c5-b380-406c-8e6d-66676b436480\" data-float=\"right\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn addition to SUVs and pickups from electric pure-plays such as Tesla, established car companies are starting to play up larger electric vehicles. For example, Ford has been heavily advertising its electric F150 Lightning and GM recently made a splash around its electric Blazer SUV. Indeed, the Rivian rollout isn't Amazon's only play in its fleet electrification efforts. It has also committed to purchasing electric RAM delivery trucks from Stellantis (the company formed last year by the merger of Fiat Chrysler and French automaker PSA Group) and vehicles from Mercedes-Benz. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBut the companies say that the Rivian trucks, designed with driver input, have other advantages in terms of safety and comfort. Deploying 100,000 of them over the remainder of the decade hints at Amazon's unique challenges and opportunities versus other big tech companies. Google and Microsoft are almost completely digital businesses. And while Apple must concern itself with supply chain emissions and the recyclability of its own products, few if any companies move as much stuff around the globe as Amazon while being able to target improvements through both its technological investments and distribution power.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"ee703ef4-981f-4823-9f4a-eb230fdc3fc3\" data-size=\"large\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003ERivian electric delivery vehicles charge in Chicago at their official unveiling event on July 21, 2022.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Getty\u002FMustafa Hussain\" data-image-alt-text=\"rivian-electric-delivery-vehicles\" data-image-filename=\"gettyimages-1242038644.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2022\u002F08\u002F04\" data-image-width=\"2500\" data-image-height=\"1667\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFor example, according to Amazon's just-released sustainability report for 2021, it delivered over 100 million packages in Europe using a fleet of over 3,000 electric delivery vans and other zero-emission vehicles last year. And in the dense streets of Manhattan, the company delivered 30 million packages using cargo bikes and people on foot. And those packages are far less wasteful than they've been in the past as the company has implemented options such as programs that ship products without packaging, Climate-Friendly certifications for sustainably designed products, and even using machine learning algorithm improvements to pack products more efficiently into smaller boxes that allow for more efficient use of cargo storage.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBut much of the quest to reduce the carbon footprint of transportation will take place via modes of transportation that are not seen by customers. For example, the company is a member of an industry group seeking to drive the adoption of sustainable aviation fuel and helped create another to advance zero-emissions technologies and fuels for use in shipping vessels. And given the greenhouse gas emissions of aviation, it's also investing in companies such as \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zeroavia.com\u002F\"\u003EZeroAvia\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, which is developing hydrogen-electric powertrains for jets, and \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.beta.team\u002F\"\u003EBeta Technologies\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, one of several startups developing electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft. All told, Amazon's $2 billion Climate Pledge Fund has invested in 18 companies, adding five since the end of 2021. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs we're not yet zipping around the skies in electric flying Ubers, the cumulative impact of these kinds of advancements will take time to be fully realized. While the company continued to make improvements to its Scope 2 (from purchased electricity) emissions in 2021, it still saw significant increases in its Scope 1 (from direct operations) and Scope 3 (from indirect sources) emissions, which typically represent the lion's share of a company's carbon footprint. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe increases come during a period when Amazon doubled the fulfillment center network and points to a metric called \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.science\u002Fblog\u002Fthe-path-to-carbon-reductions-in-high-growth-economic-sectors\" target=\"_blank\"\u003Ecarbon intensity\u003C\u002Fa\u003E used to assess carbon footprints in fast-growing entities.

It doesn't always have to be voice reproduction. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOverall, the report stops short of making a clinical value judgement about whether SED experiences are psychologically beneficial or detrimental, stating that further study is needed. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBut -- bringing it back to Amazon's attempt to bottle dead Grandma's voice in a can -- it's absolutely unclear whether providing a child with a lost relative's voice will be comforting, or developmentally such a problem that it will provide continuing employment to therapists for years to come. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIt is odd that Amazon chose to show voice replication from a deceased relative, rather than, say, a live and healthy grandmother who could record her voice for her cherished grandchild.

With a few limited constructive applications, I'm not sure releasing voice replication AI technology into the wild is a good idea.

Just how easy would it be to send someone off the edge if they kept hearing the voice of their dead father or mother? If an abuser can convince someone they're being haunted or are losing control of their ability to discern reality, that abuser could then substitute in a malevolent subjective reality. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe whole idea sounds like bad fiction, but gaslighting is so prevalent in domestic abuse that the National Domestic Violence Hotline has \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.thehotline.org\u002Fresources\u002Fwhat-is-gaslighting\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003Ean entire page\u003C\u002Fa\u003E dedicated to the gaslighting techniques an abusive partner might use.

Let's say you're at home and you get a call from your mom. It's your mom's number on caller ID. You answer and it sounds like your mom. She's been in an accident, or is in some kind of trouble. She begs you to come out and get her. And you do. Because your mom called, and of course you know what she sounds like. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBut it's not your mom. There are methods for spoofing caller ID, and with AI voice replication, the potential for luring a victim increases considerably. Pair that with the ability to purchase personal identifying information (PII) with a shocking level of detail from many shady online purveyors, and you have a frightening scenario. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDon't dismiss these scenarios as low probability.

Like the previous example where Mom calls and asks you to pick her up (but, of course, it's not Mom), imagine a scenario where Dad gets a call at work from his daughter in college. She's had an emergency. Can he please send her a few thousand dollars? \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EObviously, the quality of the grift will determine some of the believability of the call, but with enough available PII and a good script, someone will fall for the scam and give out credit card digits or wire money -- especially since the voice was the daughter's voice. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn combination with deepfake video technology, the potential for creating fake videos of individuals increases considerably. Whether that video is used by teenagers to bully a schoolmate, or by a disinformation campaign to convince a populace that a leader is up to no good, the idea of deepfakes with accurate voice representation is very troubling. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E Constructive applications \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThere are some entertainment industry applications where voice replication can add value.

The basis of AlexaTM 20B is the same as PaLM and GPT-3 and others, a Transformer encoder-decoder -- the approach pioneered in 2017 by Google scientists Ashish Vaswani and colleagues. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe Transformer uses units called \"self-attention\" to come up with a probability score for how every word may be found in the context of other words. That score is then used to fill in the blanks when predicting words to form meaningful text blocks.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn the case of AlexaTM 20B, Soltan and colleagues make a critical departure from PaLM and GPT-3 and other gigantic descendants of the original Transformer. Those more-recent models dispensed with one half of the Transformer, what's called the encoder (the thing that maps input data into hidden states to then be decoded into an answer). Instead, PaLM and GPT-3 merge the input with the decoder, to form a stripped-down program that is a \"decoder-only\" model. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe Alexa team puts the encoder back into the program. Their claim is that having both elements helps to improve accuracy in what's called \"de-noising,\" which means reconstructing an original sentence where some of the words have dropped out. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn the decoder-only model, the conditional probability of predicted text runs only in one direction: every next answer is based only on what came before. In the full encoder-decoder version, by contrast, the model is making an assessment of probabilities in both directions: what came before a given word and what follows. That serves better in tasks where one is not only generating the next element in a sentence, but also doing things like word-for-word comparison, as in translation tasks from one language to another.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"6f83e0c1-7af9-4486-b56f-bee6e1aa21dc\" data-size=\"original\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003EAmazon 2022 AlexTM 20B Decoder-Only Models\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Amazon\" data-image-alt-text=\"Amazon 2022 AlexTM 20B Decoder-Only Models\" data-image-filename=\"amazon-2022-alextm-20b-decoder-only-models.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2022\u002F08\u002F10\" data-image-width=\"1610\" data-image-height=\"1076\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAlso: \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fmetas-massive-multilingual-translation-opus-still-stumbles-on-greek-icelandic-oromo\u002F\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EMeta's massive multilingual translation opus still stumbles on Greek, Armenian, Oromo\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs they write, \"AlexaTM 20B achieves a new state-of-the-art of 82.63% in the zero-shot setting in the denoising mode. The main reason denoising mode performs better for this task is that in the denoising mode, the input is being repeated in encoder and decoder allowing the model to use both encoder and decoder fully to find the best answer.\"\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe second thing the authors add is to train the model with what's called \"causal language modeling.\" CLM, for short, is the task that is used in GPT-3 and other decoder-only Transformers. It specifically represents every word as dependent only on the words that came before -- a sequential, one-way dependency that is trained to generate sentences based on an initial prompt.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe authors mix the de-noising task with the causal task in training AlexaTM 20B, with de-noising taking up 80% of the training activity and causal modeling the remaining fifth. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe virtue of adding causal modeling is that, similar to GPT-3, it aids in what is called \"in-context learning.\" In-context learning is a broad rubric covering any models that are able to perform zero- or few-shot learning. That means that the program has no domain-specific knowledge; you just give it an example prompt, and the program makes a prediction that is in accord with the type of question being posed.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBecause of that hybrid training regime, AlexTM 20B not only does well at reconstructing sentences -- the de-noising task, it also is \"the first multilingual seq2seq [sequence to sequence] model capable of in-context learning,\" the authors write. It's a hybrid program, in other words. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe third interesting tweak by Soltan and colleagues is to increase enormously how many data points are input to the program during training. They input one trillion \"tokens,\" individual pieces of data, during training; that's more than three times as many as GPT-3 receives. The training data sets in this case consist of Wikipedia entries and also what's called mC4, a data set for training Transformers \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Farxiv.org\u002Fpdf\u002F2010.11934.pdf\"\u003Eintroduced last year\u003C\u002Fa\u003E by Linting Xue and colleagues at Google.

This isn't the best overall because it's not what is best for most people, but it is for us in our home. The HomePod mini itself is actually a pretty great speaker compared to other devices and other speakers out there, so if you're looking for a great compact speaker for your living room, this might be it. We're fans of the value Apple puts on its users' privacy, so we took a chance and decided to create an Apple smart home ecosystem.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECompatibility\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe problem with an Apple smart home is that there aren't as many compatible devices out there, so the use of a bridge to get them there is sometimes necessary. If you stick to those devices that are readily compatible with HomeKit, though, you'll be fine. Plus, Apple announced at WWDC 2022 many updates to the app coming this fall, including the reiteration of the use of Matter, a smart home connectivity standard that increases compatibility across different platforms. So you can trust that more compatible devices will come in the future. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThe Home app\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe Home app is very responsive, snappy, and has many useful automations that are easy to set up. It's very user-friendly, reminiscent of the SmartThings app, and has the option of adding Home buttons to your iPhone's control center, accessible from the home screen or any app. We haven't encountered many issues aside from Siri not being as responsive or as helpful as other assistants, but that's a separate thing.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHowever, because Apple can be a stickler for privacy, you do have some limitations in the app. An example is that you can't directly set up geofencing to automatically unlock a door lock due to potential security concerns, which is something you can do with other apps. But, as with everything, there are ways around it, so it's not a big deal to us.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe Home app will see some updates in the fall as well: faster load times, widgets, new icons and tile styling, and a new feature to view up to four cameras at once in a single tile.

Now, we no longer obsess about Microsoft, Microsoft, Microsoft, mainly because Jeff Bezos and Amazon had a damn good idea. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"1b18142e-ba10-4621-b0ac-c6964b989aff\" data-size=\"original\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-alt-text=\"sucks-amazon-hq.jpg\" data-image-filename=\"sucks-amazon-hq.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2018\u002F11\u002F29\" data-image-width=\"970\" data-image-height=\"647\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhen a computing service is made available to you anywhere in the world through the Web, on servers whose functions have been leased by a publisher, software producer, or other private customer, at the end of 2020, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.statista.com\u002Fchart\u002F18819\u002Fworldwide-market-share-of-leading-cloud-infrastructure-service-providers\u002F\"\u003Ethere was a 32% chance\u003C\u002Fa\u003E (\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.srgresearch.com\u002Farticles\u002Ffourth-quarter-growth-cloud-services-tops-banner-year-cloud-providers\"\u003Eaccording to analyst firm Synergy Research Group\u003C\u002Fa\u003E) that this service is being hosted on Amazon's cloud.  By comparison, there was a 20% chance that it's hosted on Microsoft's Azure cloud, and only 9% on Google Cloud Platform. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAmazon is the company most associated with \"the cloud,\" in the minds of the general public.

Our technologies are almost exclusively implemented as \u003Cem\u003Eservices\u003C\u002Fem\u003E: bits of logic that encapsulate the data they operate on and provide hardened interfaces as the only way to access their functionality. This approach reduces side effects and allows services to evolve at their own pace without impacting the other components of the overall system. \t\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBezos likes to adorn his biographical presentations with veritable fountains of fabulous phrases, along with boasts that may warrant a bit of suspicion. For example, in this letter, he gave AWS credit for essentially inventing service-oriented architecture (SOA) — he was, at best, a teenager when SOA was first being put to practical use. So let's try to explain what this AWS thing does, in terms even a CEO could understand. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003E AWS' principal innovation was commoditizing software services \u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EUp until the mid-2000s, software was a thing you installed on your hard drive.  It was intellectual property that you were granted the license to use, and either the entirety of that license was paid for up front, or it was subscribed to on an annual \"per-seat\" basis.  A corporate network (a LAN) introduced the astounding technical innovation of moving that hard drive into a room full of other hard drives; otherwise, the principal idea was not much different.  (Microsoft thrived in this market.) \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe first truly brilliant idea that ever happened in corporate LANs was this:  An entire computer, including its processor and installed devices, could be rendered as software.  Sure, this software would still run on hardware, but being rendered as software made it expendable if something went irreparably wrong.  You simply restored a backup copy of the software, and resumed.  This was the first \u003Cem\u003Evirtual machine\u003C\u002Fem\u003E (VM). \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe first general purpose for which people used VMs, was to host Web sites. There were plenty of Web site hosts in 2006, but they were typically blogs. Prior to the rise of the cloud, when an organization needed to run its business online using software that belonged to it, it would install Web server software (usually Apache) on its own physical computers, and connect them to the Internet via a service provider. If a business could install a Web server on a virtual machine, it could attain the freedom to run those Web servers anywhere it was practical to do so, rather than from the headquarters basement.  \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Famazon-to-outfit-web-site-for-u-k-retailer\u002F\"\u003EThe first great convenience that cloud-based VMs made available\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, even before Amazon officially launched AWS, was to enable organizations (usually e-commerce retailers) to set up their own service configurations, but run them on Amazon's infrastructure. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOnce Amazon had a cadre of e-commerce customers, it established its first cloud business model around making its infrastructure available on a pay-as-you-go basis.  This made high-quality service feasible for small and medium-sized businesses for the first time. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe alteration in the IT market made by Amazon was fundamental. It was a \"disruption\" on the same scale that the 79 A.D. eruption of Mount Vesuvius was a \"spillover.\" \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPrior to Amazon, software was intellectual property, which a license granted you the rights to \u003Cem\u003Ehave\u003C\u002Fem\u003E. What mattered was where it was installed, and convenience dictated that such installations be \u003Cem\u003Elocal\u003C\u002Fem\u003E. Software had almost always been architected as services, more or less using SOA principles, but its dissemination in a functional economy required it to be manufactured, like any other durable good. So the sales channel that constituted the circulatory system of this economy, was effectively a durable goods channel that depended on inventory, shipping, and transportation logistics. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAfter Amazon, software is active functionality, which a service contract grants you the rights to \u003Cem\u003Euse\u003C\u002Fem\u003E. What matters now are the connections through which those functions are made useful, in a healthy and growing Internet. Convenience dictates that the point of access for software be \u003Cem\u003Ecentralized\u003C\u002Fem\u003E, but that the actual locations of these running functions be \u003Cem\u003Edistributed\u003C\u002Fem\u003E, and their operations centrally \u003Cem\u003Eorchestrated\u003C\u002Fem\u003E. This is the function of a distributed cloud platform, which completely and entirely replaces the old VAR-oriented software sales channel. Rather than being a manufacturing center, a cloud service provider (CSP) is the propagator of software. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAmazon did not invent this business model. Engineers and business visionaries did have this concept in mind as early as the 1960s. But the components were not present at that time to implement that vision. By the time they were, only the people inspired by the vision they had — including Jeff Bezos — were available to make it a reality. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELEARN MORE:\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fhow-amazon-exposed-its-guts-the-history-of-awss-ec2\u002F\"\u003EHow Amazon exposed its guts: The history of AWS' EC2\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\u003C\u002Ful\u003E\u003Ch3\u003E How AWS' cloud business model works today \u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhile AWS still hosts VM-based Web sites, its modern business model is centered around delivering functionality to individuals and organizations, using the Web as its transit medium.

Although AWS clearly divides expenses into categories pertaining to storage, bandwidth usage, and compute cycle time, these categories are not the services themselves. Rather, they are the product of the services you choose, and by choosing more and incorporating more of these components into the cloud-based assets you build on the AWS platform, you \"consume\" these commodities at a more rapid rate. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAWS has a clear plan in mind: It draws you into an account with a tier of no-cost service with which you can comfortably experiment with building a Web server, or launching a database, prior to taking those services live.

customer to best suit its applications. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOriginally, the configurations of EC2 instances mimicked those of real-world, physical servers.  You chose an instance that best suited the characteristics of the server that you'd normally have purchased, installed, and maintained on your own corporate premises, to run the application you intended for it.  Today, an EC2 instance can be almost fanciful, configured like no server ever manufactured anywhere in the world.  Since virtual servers comprise essentially the entire Web services industry now, it doesn't matter that there's no correspondence with reality.  You peruse AWS' very extensive catalog, and choose the number of processors, local storage, local memory, connectivity, and bandwidth that your applications require.  And if that's more than in any real server ever manufactured, so what? \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EYou then pay for the resources that instance uses, literally on a

\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn recent years, a new vehicle for packaging functionality has come about that is far better suited to cloud-based delivery.  It was called the \"Docker container,\" after the company that first developed an automated mechanism for deploying it on a cloud platform (even though its name at the time was dotCloud).  Today, since so many parties have a vested interest in its success, and also because the English language has run out of words, this package is just called a \u003Cem\u003Econtainer\u003C\u002Fem\u003E. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAWS' way to

revolution, the oxygen burned with each ignition of a cylinder, and the amount of carbon dioxide produced by the catalytic converter.  With ECS, you're renting the bandwidth and paying for the precise volume of data consumed and the cycles required for processing, for each second of your application's operation.  \u003Ca

mentioned before, one of Amazon's true breakthroughs was the establishment of S3, its Simple Storage Service (the word \"Cloud\" has since been wedged into the middle of its name).  For this business model, Amazon places \"turnstiles,\" if you will, at two points of the data exchange process: when data is uploaded, and when it's transacted by means of a retrieval call or a database query.  So both input and output incur charges. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAWS does not charge customers by the storage volume, or in any fraction of a physical device consumed by data.  Instead, it creates a virtual construct called a \u003Cem\u003Ebucket\u003C\u002Fem\u003E, and assigns that to an account.  Essentially, this bucket is bottomless; it provides database tools and other services with a means to address the data contained within it.  By default, each account may operate up to 100 buckets, though that limit may be increased upon request. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOnce data is stored in one of these buckets, the way AWS monetizes its output from the bucket depends upon how that data is used.  If a small amount of data is stored and retrieved not very often, AWS is happy \u003Ca

the course of using this app, these users all access data stored in an S3 bucket, that's likely to incur some charges.  Database queries, such as retrieving billing information or statistics, will be charged very differently from downloading a video or media file. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIf AWS were to charge one flat fee for data retrieval — say, per megabyte downloaded — then with the huge difference in scale between a spreadsheet's worth of tabular data and a 1080p video, no one would want to use AWS for media.  So S3 assumes that the types of objects that you'll store in buckets will determine the way those objects will be used (\"consumed\") by others, and AWS establishes a fee for the method of use. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELEARN

important service that emerges from the system that makes ECS possible is called Lambda, and for many classes of industry and academia, it's already significantly changing the way applications are being conceived.  Lambda advances a principle called the \u003Cem\u003Eserverless\u003C\u002Fem\u003E model, in which the cloud server delivers the functions that an application may require on a per-use basis only, without the need for pre-provisioning. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFor instance, if you have a function that analyzes a photograph and isolates the portion of it that's likely to contain the image of a human face, you can stage that function in Amazon's cloud using the serverless model.  You're not being charged for the VM or the container hosting the function, or any of the resources it requires; rather, AWS places its \"turnstile\" at the point where the function renders its result and terminates.  So you're charged a flat fee for the transaction. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAlthough Amazon may not have had the idea for the serverless model, Lambda has advanced that model considerably.  Now \u003Ca

to which those islands belong. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn founding the market for virtualization, VMware set about to relocate the seat of power in the data center kingdom to the hypervisor.  And in drawing most of the map for the public cloud market, Amazon tried to relocate it to the EC2 instance.  Both efforts have yielded success.  But Kubernetes, as an open source orchestrator of container-based applications, sought to plant a bomb beneath that seat of power, by effectively democratizing the way new classes of applications were created and deployed.  \u003Ca

Amazon's concession to the tides of history, at least for this round.  The previous July, Amazon joined the Cloud Native Computing Foundation — the arm of the Linux Foundation that oversees development of the Kubernetes orchestrator. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis way, EKS can provide management services over the infrastructure supporting a customer's Kubernetes deployment, comparable to what Google Cloud and Azure offer.  The provisioning of clusters can happen automatically.  That last sentence doesn't have much meaning unless you've read tens of thousands of pages of Kubernetes documentation, the most important sentence from which is this:  You can pick a containerized application, tell EKS to run it, then EKS will configure the resources that application requires, you sign off on them, and it runs the app. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESo if you have, say, an open source content management system compiled to run in containers, you just point EKS to the repository where those containers are located and say \"Go.\"  If all the world's applications could be automated in exactly this way, we would be living in a very different world.

Here are just a few: \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"pinbox\" data-uuid=\"9ccc1825-3a5e-4c77-855b-dc9bec7db19d\" data-uri=\"\u002Fapi\u002Fcomponent\u002Feditorial\u002F9ccc1825-3a5e-4c77-855b-dc9bec7db19d\" data-float=\"right\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHave Alexa recite your Wi-Fi password\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E: This one can be handy if you frequently have guests over for a few days and they keep hounding you to remind them of the password. Just set up a routine with your password as a customized response. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAlexa can easily recite individual letters and numbers, but you'll have to type out the names of special characters (exclamation points and ampersands, for instance). Of course, be careful with this one. Don't use it outside your home, or in front of someone you wouldn't trust with access to your network.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAmaze your kids, or anyone else, with a personalized response\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E: Kids usually love chatting with Alexa. We've all seen viral videos of youngsters being amazed when the little device lights up and talks back. Imagine how shocked they'll be if Alexa gives them a truly personalized response. Just tell them to ask your Echo device whatever question you've set up to trigger the routine and have Alexa reply with a customized response that's tailored specifically for them. You can even include their name. This works equally well if you'd like to prank your friends or relatives by setting it up for one of their commonly used requests.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EProvide a bit of basic tech support to an elderly relative\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E: Many of you reading this are likely the first call your parents or grandparents make when that dang TV is just showing static or their smartphone won't ring when a call comes in. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAlso:\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fwhere-do-tech-pros-go-for-tech-support-here-are-their-top-four-fix-it-strategies\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhere do tech pros go for tech support?

If so, flip it the other way.\" Alexa won't complain, no matter how many times they ask.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003ECan I have Alexa reply from a different device? \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EGenerally, no. Whichever Alexa-enabled device you issue the trigger query to will be the one she responds from. However, this is one way to have her play her responses via another device: Use the Alexa app and manually activate the routine. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIf you open the Your Routines section of the Alexa app, you'll notice each routine has a circular, blue play icon to the right of it. Tapping that on any routine with a response included in it will pop up a window asking which device you'd like the response to play from. You can tap any available device and Alexa's preprogrammed response will play through it.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"pinbox\" data-uuid=\"61b2fa86-25ca-4edd-8c79-0a571ebf1336\" data-uri=\"\u002Fapi\u002Fcomponent\u002Feditorial\u002F61b2fa86-25ca-4edd-8c79-0a571ebf1336\" data-float=\"none\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E",gallery:b,category:b,children:b,contentType:c,contentUrl:c,coreImages:b,date:b,datePublished:{created:b,date:"2022-06-16 13:07:00",timezone:"UTC",updated:b,published:b},description:"Amaze your kids, make your friends laugh, or help out an older relative.

However, the spring sale typically offers smaller discounts than Amazon's fall and holiday sales later in the year. During Amazon's sales, headphone and earbud brands also slash prices on their sites to compete for your dollars. Sometimes, prices are lower at other retailers, so you should compare factors like prices, return policies, and free items included with your purchase before buying. If you want all-time low prices on the latest headphones and earbuds, wait until later in the year.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHow did we choose these Spring Sale deals?\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI spend most of my time testing the latest headphones and earbuds and revisiting headphones and earbuds released in past years to provide our readers with the most sound buying advice. I also noticed products' retail prices and when the lowest prices were offered, typically later in the year.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAdditionally, by retesting products, I can determine if they're still worth hundreds of dollars a year or two later. If they are, I will still recommend them during significant sales. Another factor I consider is when newly-released products are on sale; if a product I recommended was released six months ago and is already on sale, I'll notify our readers to take advantage of the sale price. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhat are the best Amazon Spring Sale 2025 deals?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EZDNET's experts are searching through Amazon's Spring Sale deals to find the best discounts by category.
