Yes, modern apps will randomly break on Safari. They'll also randomly break on Chrome and Firefox in other fun ways.

Safari isn't perfect but neither are the other browsers. And as far as not supporting every little thing Google decides to shove in the browser, good! I'm glad Google is working to push out new ideas for the web, but I'm also glad Safari is keeping them honest by not providing wide support of those ideas until they go through a standardization process.
What would be most interesting about these quasicrystal characteristics are:
1. tensile strength
2. cleaving strength
3. torsional strength

We have got starships to make that need to handle these upcoming warp engines.

Just looking ahead here.

It seems strange to me that so many people would get mad about billionaires spending money on science exploration, but you don’t hear a peep when they buy 150 m yachts…
Wait a second, yesterday I misread your comment, is this only available on 5G and not below? What is the reasoning for gating it to newer phones and countries that have that infrastructure, considering my pixel has no issues updating over 4G?
Doing a DNA test on the bodies.

I'm not saying the new theory is right, I'm saying that, as an uninterested party, my initial reaction was "wow, this is definitely plausible, and certainly could explain some of the more unlikely parts of Calment's case." What struck me was how the Western European researchers immediately went into defensive mode, casting aspersions on the motivations of the Russians, etc., instead of just examining the theory dispassionately.
Powerbanks are rated that way because batteries are rated that way. For phones it _kind of_ makes sense, as the capacities are closer to the 2.8-3.5 Ah range, and that difference is fairly substantial. (No comment on why processors are measured in GHz rather than MHz).

If you want to pick a gripe why do we measure capacity in charge per unit of time times hour, rather than MJ?
The intention I think is to tax Google, and this is just Google's way of passing it on. It's ridiculous when you look at Google's revenue and profits, but not unexpected at all.
I don't know how helpful this will be to you, but I vividly recall the brand Exabyte using 8mm tapes for storage/backup as my father used these extensively for work. The backup format was identical to the video as we have home movies recorded on the failed data tapes just fine.
If Photoshop could be likened to giving a humanity a loaded revolver, I feel like deepfakes are like handing an AK-47. I'm hopeful but I'm also cautiously seeing how the world embraces this tech.
This guy has been making money off of this though (through ads and his patreon).
Charging an EV takes significantly more time than filling up a gas tank. There are also far more gas stations then electric charging stations.

This means a simple trip like going upstate for the weekend would be hindered by needing to know where and when to charge the car.

If the entire trip could be done on a single charge, that is a lot of freedom.
centigrade surely?
after speaking to users, we figured out that what to replace with is best left to the user based on their choices. a lot of our users keep posting in our forums that they took up weight lifting, exercises, meditation etc. to distract them from their problematic behavior. as to studies, there is very little research on impact of porn. but, our users seem to be happy when they make progress and stay off porn for a long time. for some of them, it's very measurable as there is prevelance of problems like erectile dysfunction (ED), finding partner unattractive sexually etc. which affects person's sexual life. overcoming porn has improved sexual life of many people based on experiences shared by them.
> Actually I’d guess it’s so infrequent that renting would be fine.

When I go on a road trip it's for more than a week, renting would basically double the cost of my trip.
I wouldn’t project your driving habits on everyone else. Lots of folks go skiing every weekend in the winter, for example.

Alex Roy broke the law and risked the lives of others by doing the Canonball Run. He is proud about this and has many interviews on Youtube. In these videos, you will see Alex and his compatriots (Ed Bolian, Doug Tabbutt) explain how they avoid going to prison: they use technology to detect police, they wait for the statute of limitations, and they curry favour with the cops by handing over cards that show they're friends of the police:

I don't think this man is worth dedicating terminology to. I don't think 'Roy's rule' is more clear than 'level 5 autonomy'.

> The next few decades will be increasingly difficult for them as their economy will need to support a larger level of retirees.

How do you come up with this stupid idea? Japan has deflation and slow growth because of demographics, meaning the economic problem is the exact opposite. Old people spend very little money, meaning they need very little support to take care of them. The economy is dying because those old people don't spend their money, resulting in surplus workers that can't find well paying jobs who then subsequently drop out of the labor market. If old people somehow spent all their life savings on medical bills to stay alive for one more year then a lot of young people would end up getting that money.

Those young people have a whole life time of earning money ahead of them. It's only when you deny them the ability to earn that money that they suffer. Full employment will just create more demand for increases in productivity which then results in greater increases in productivity than one would expect if there wasn't urgency.

There are bad scrapers out there. Plenty of common problems:

- Denial of Service by queries - they hit search pages with complex or slow queries, diving to 1000th page of results . This kills the db.

- Denial of Service by parallelization - they hit 1000s of pages at once, causing server to run out of memory or other issues . This kills the web.

- Denial of Service by bugs - their code is buggy, slight change to page causes their scrapes to repeat ad nauseum.

- bad URL/cookie scrapes - they hit URLs that perform actions (say add to cart) against websites. This causes sites to track more data in abandoned carts, managing sessions, item popularity.

If scraping wouldn't affect server negatively, then it would feel less illegal.
> The idea that the modern EV is basically toast (cost prohibitive to repair like all modern electronics) after 5-10 years is not the green future we are trying to work toward.

The current "unrepairability" of today's EV's is nothing inherent to them.

There is nothing that prevents Tesla's service centres to repair their cars, say, after collision damage, which they currently refuse to take beyond the most trivial cases.

The same goes for other EV brands who say you must scrap your car after borderline cosmetic damage.

- Electric motors are inherently more robust than IC engines, and can too be rebuilt with ease if you fry them (which should never really happen when thermal protection, and cooling work as they should.)

- Electronics is the least likely part of the electric vehicle to break, and is, again, mostly trivial to repair, or replace.

- Cells are the only wear element besides a simple gearbox, and brakes.
Everyone who thinks that because Matrix is Apache v2 license, it will remain permissive open source is ignoring the reality of an active project. If Matrix changes license tomorrow, the old code will still be Apache v2. But are you going to fork the project to keep it Apache v2?

For some data point, look at recent relicense of MinIO, Grafana, Loki, Vector.dev etc.
Webkit is far off from KHTML, just a simple code statistics will show you the number of hours by Apple Engineers on Webkit, at this point Webkit is a complete rewrite and has zero semblance with KHTML. Apple Engineers have more contributions in the repo than Google Engineers ever did. At the End Google strategy to build plugins and track users doesnt gel with the WebKit Strategy. For everyday use Safari is very energy Efficient compared to Chrome which is a Battery Hog.
Safari is compliant. It's behind but compliant.

Well, kind of. There are all sorts of minor glitches that only happen on Apple devices. A common complaint is iOS Safari's interpretation of vh units. It might be technically correct (because the spec is sufficiently ambiguous to argue that Apple's choice meets it) but it's still obviously broken for common practical applications that work everywhere else such as attaching content to the bottom of the visible area. The handling of the "notch" on devices that have one is likewise arguably technically correct but obviously broken.

So the objections to Safari aren't just about not supporting Google-style PWAs features. Some of them are about other big features too. Support for HTML5 media elements and the backing technologies has been very lacking by modern standards and numerous special cases have been needed over the years only to support Apple clients.

How do you already believe something written is legit? Does it not just put video on par with text?
Yeah, that's irritating. I do recognize that mainframes had many of the things, forever, that are buzzwords now.

But trying to tie an extremely compute intensive requirement (AI) to an environment with probably the highest $$/MIPS is just...dumb.
> push notifications feel more like walking down the Vegas strip having leaflets constantly shoved in your face.

Strong agreement here.

There's a significant (single digit %) of sites I run into that ask me to accept push notifications or ask for my email before any of the content loads. I usually close the tab when that happens.
I imagine you read plenty of "look-overs" without noticing them. I also imagine that the editors at (say) The Verge do find and fix plenty of mistakes that you wouldn't notice anyway. In this case there's a combination where they didn't notice and you did.

Proofreading is difficult because your mind subsconsciously fixes the text you are processing. Editors need to focus hard, but as we all know it's tough to maintain focus while doing monotonous tasks.
Well, why are good actors so sought-after? What makes someone an actor whose likeness people seek and what makes a B-tier actor?

Part of it is inertia and random celebrity status, having an attractive or interesting face etc., but part of it is also the raw knowledge of when to apply certain microexpressions, how to gesture etc. i.e. how to do the acting itself. To be a convincing, charismatic etc. actor it's not enough to wear a digital mask of a celebrity, the underlying actor still needs to act well. That may not be so important for certain types of shallow movies, but it certainly is for deeper drama films etc.

It's similar to today's text generation where you may be able to generate sports game reports, user's manuals or travel brochures etc. but not really those where you need high level decisions, like applying the appropriate expressions to a real-world event, taking into account all the context, like writing a poem about your feelings reflecting on some recent real-world event.

I'm not saying humans have a magical power that can't be implemented in silicon.

What I'm saying is that deepfakes as they are today are not sufficient to replace actors. You'd need a higher level puppeteering AI that would take the whole storyline and script into account to come up with the right ways to express the appropriate emotions at that moment in the film and could take the director's instructions regarding his vision of how the drama should unfold etc.
Tesla cars are initially sold with an 8-year or X km warranty that the battery will hold at least 70% of the design energy. (The X km is between 160000 and 240000 km, depending on the size of the battery.)

Also, my personal expectation is that a larger capacity means the wear is distributed across a larger number of cells, leading to increased life expectancy. This assumption fits with the warranty policy of Tesla.
Don't these points mean you are obliged to keep the repository available?

What's the difference between a mainframe and a server these days?
The problem in your analogy is you don’t think Lady Gaga is worth paying close attention to. Substack’s proposition is that an individual writer has an audience willing to pay to read much or all of what the writer publishes. It’s not a business model seeking dabblers on either side of the transaction.
What you are proposing is basically exactly what the researchers did in their paper, just comparing the data looking at people who were already supercentenarians, not the whole population at large, and found that Calment was a widely improbable outlier even just among this group.
The Q movement has all the hallmarks of an astroturfing campaign. Don't assume it's just a bunch of idiots.

I guess there’s a benefit of not having to take out your phone to check notifications but in the end they do compete for your attention and microdisrupt you anyway. And how many notifications on average are you willing to take in? I personally want as little as possible, the most important contacts and critical alerts are enough for me, the rest can wait till I check for them myself.

Is it perhaps also a difference in intended use? If iNaturalist is for wildlife and uses location heavily, eg identifying tropical houseplants indoors in a different region might not work.
The original post doesnt mention it at all, it talks about files being compressed for transfer (but no specifics on the implementation).

There is no transport compression/encoding in HTTP. There is transfer-encoding (which is hop-to-hop) and content-encoding (which is e2e). Both only compress the message body.

It seems you may be confusing content-encoding (e.g. gzip - the message-body encoding) and content-type (e.g. image/jpg - the "domain specific compression" you mention).
dvgrab is awesome! I used it quite a bit recently, transferring old tapes on to more reliable media. Sometimes it the tape had an error and I had to rewind a bit and restart capture, but it mostly just worked.

Be warned, it does produce pretty large raw files, though, so after import, I ran ffmpeg to convert them all to mp4 files. No visible loss in quality, and about 90% size reduction.
Yeah, I don't really find installing a pirated operating system in order to run a web browser an acceptable option.
Meson is okay, it solved a few problems for us on our deployment but the creator has a few hard decisions and style choices that don't really gel well with other projects. We are tempted to go back to cmake.

Then, when someone videos an atrocity, they need to choose between publishing publicly (risking retribution) or publishing anonymously (if they even know how) and risk being disbelieved.
A great example of this is the Akinator app. The developers built up a database of answers by getting the users to fill in the missing data, which produced more accurate results and subsequently attracted more users. That feedback loop for apps like this seems like a very effective model. What I find interesting about this is that the value of the product, from a business perspective, comes from the success of the software in enabling that feedback loop, while from the user’s perspective, the value is in the data. But the data is emergent from the feedback algorithm.

I'd be happy to see 1Password IPO and would even like to invest--but hopefully this isn't forging a pathway to a mandatory acquisition. There's no company wealthy enough out there with the security and privacy chops to continue on 1Password's mission.

But if neither of those things happen, as a developer, seeing an emphasis on more infrastructure security products is super exciting.
> refusing to drive you ever again because that one time you puked when drunk at 2am

Don't think it would happen, the fleet company will simply charge you for the cleaning and refuse service for you only if you refuse to pay the cleaning bill. People will be very careful to keep the car clean if they pay for the cleaning.

Also, it's unlikely only one company will have full self driving cars, so there will be competing fleets.

> Mercedes claims that their car will use less than 0.1 kWh per km, at normal highway driving speeds.

I guess you will still need a class leading battery capacity to get anywhere near this, and will still be really physically challenging to squeeze 100kWh of cells into a small sedan.
> Actually, by permitting police the power to make edits and falsify shot-data, the technology is indeed at fault. Such data should be immutable. Such data should be sacrosanct. Any edits should never change the data, merely add a change-log with a full governance and audit logging. Without this, the tech is indeed at fault. It is unfit to meet the standard of prosecutorial evidence.

Also, if the tech needs all these manual edits, maybe it isn't very good?
Temperature doesn't really exist. It is a concept for describing the kinetic energy of molecules. So we could go with some combination of meters/seconds/mass/atomic mass. We could call it the ped-kelvin, the temperature scale only used by the most pedantic of scientists.

Flora Incognita, a free plant identification app for Android and iOS, developed by a German university, does that.

You choose a category first, like "tree", "flower", "grass" or "fern" and it will guide you through the process, trying to identify the plant with as few photos as necessary. Common ones it will identify from a single image, for others, it will e.g. prompt to take a close-up photo of the bark, bloom or the complete plant in its environment. From what I understand, they are aiming for accuracy of the identification and will provide a description of possibly matching plants if there is still ambiguity. Very recommended!

It seems to have worked out for them? The capital investments required to have a bleeding edge node keeps increasing every generation and there are fewer and fewer companies keeping up over time. AMD just didn't have the volume to keep up. Splitting off the foundry let AMD jump to TSMC for some of their volume and Global Foundries is free to dance with other companies that don't need the bleeding edge.

Generate copyright, sure, but generate value that justifies hiring? You can’t take the camera away from the photographer and have it autonomously recreate the photographer’s taste and tuning. OP is asking whether that’s also the case with the tool shown here (the answer to which I don’t know, but I suspect it does require a fair bit of artistic tuning).
You are correct.

Avoiding civilian casualties is however extremely hard when you deal with people who:

- fire rockets from schools, hospitals and generally populated areas (there are wide fields they could have used)

- encourage people to stay when they get informed about bombing

- count bombed terrorists as civilians (lists exist with names and photos of claimed "civilians" in uniforms and with guns)

- when hitting a stash of rockets in the middle of a neighborhood there's always a chance something flies further than the original blast

- "civilian casualties of Israeli bombing" also contains a good number of casualties of defect arab terrorist rockets.

Furthermore: it has always started on the Arab ("Palestinian") side the last years.

A massive difference exist if someone gets hurt after they started the fight or not.
This has been true since forever though. (It's such a weird point.) Very believable photoshops have been possible since forever, but you generally only believe images that are verified by a trusted source. Even ridiculously fakable things like "someone telling you a thing is true" (without having photographic evidence of it) has somehow not been completely eroded as a communication channel by deceptive agents because of reputation and trust holding it all up.
