How long until what is currently photography is either full length video or 3d navigable worlds?

These Star Wars galleries are just phenomenal. I can't imagine it is long until you can apply these as filters to movies, for example taking Rogue One and applying a Fritz Lang or Stanley Kubrick filter.

If I took that galleries above and used it as the input photos, and then used a tool like this, which takes about 5 seconds a frame .. https://gizmodo.com/disney-ai-art-vfx-visual-effects-de-age-...

Or akin to Cars being a remake of Doc Hollywood with anthropomorphized Cars, being able to say something like "I want to see a remake of the 2013 movie Rush, in the world of Zootopia, with 15% styling from Speed Racker, set in the 70's, with flying animals, and the main two rival protagonists being flying squirrels, one of which has a birth defect and a prosthetic wing."
Did you read this bit?

> It could appear that these results undermine the belief that Rust safety model represents an improvement over other languages, e.g. C++, but this would not be correct, say the researchers behind Rudra, who still consider Rust safety a supreme improvement.

They found ~100 security issues in 45k packages. That's clearly better than C++.

I created an app to manage Twitter Bookmarks
I wanted to share out my side project TweetMarks.

I use Twitter bookmarks a lot and wanted an easy way to manage them without getting sidetracked scrolling through Twitter. So I created TweetMarks which allows you to easily manage your Twitter Bookmarks.

Some of the features available are:

* Live text for iOS 16 users
* Share tweet as a photo
* Export your bookmarks
* Media Gallery
* Swipe features

The app is free with no ads and has a Pro versions that unlocks extra features not in the free version. The pro version is a one time fee, unlock for life, and pay what you want.

Features available in TweetMarks Pro is:

* Feed Sorting
* Setting and managing Reminders
* Customization what swiping left and right allows * Pin favorite bookmarks for easy access.
* Search your bookmarks
Sure, but that is kind of what I mean. Safety in rust is something you actively have to think about and work around (at least some of the time). It doesn't just come for free like in python.
Let's not forget how many people were born thanks to alcohol
You can always access it through a browser. The app is kind of terrible on its own, the browser version is generally better.

Apple can't paste parental controls over an external service. The only thing they can do is not distribute the app until it does provide parental controls, which is what's happening now.

Apple is declining to distribute the app on their store because it doesn't meet their safety and moderation standards. Lbry clearly doesn't meet the standards, and AFAIK don't really intend to moderate the service at all. This isn't censorship.

Censoring lbry would be blocking the domain on all ios devices, meaning you couldn't even access it through a browser. The app store has rules, and lbry doesn't want to follow those rules, and this is the consequence.

Whether or not those rules are a good thing is a separate conversation, but it's in the general category of Brands and Moderation that's being discussed everywhere these days.
I read their thread before my comment because the title on this submission was pretty inflammatory. Their tendentious argument is exactly what made me think this was a trial balloon.

The concept of wormholes, it appears to me, is a direct product of the concept of spacetime. Not space. Not time. But a different mathematical entity called spacetime.

But when I read the article I see that the actual experiment is done in space not in a spacetime. Spacetime enters only in theoretical discussions. I copied the sentences where the word "space" occurs. The first sentence is theoretical explanation of wormhole with the clieche of "fabric of spacetime" as if spacetime has a fabric.

Wormholes — wrinkles in the fabric of _spacetime_ that connect two disparate locations

What’s the maximum amount of information that can fit in a single region of _space_?

the description of a volume of _space_ with gravity acting in it can be thought of as encoded on the boundary enclosing the volume: every object inside the _space_ has a corresponding description on the boundary and vice versa

Just yesterday Copenhagen commune sent me a leaflet on recycling. It has statistics for the proportion of each waste stream that is recycled, which I hadn't seen before.

99% of glass (reused whole bottles, re-melted to new glass)
98% of cardboard (more cardboard)
98% of paper (more paper, cardboard)
97% of indoor wood (chipboard)
82% of food waste (biogas, fertilizer)
82% of garden waste (heat, fertilizer)
72% of food/drink cartons (cardboard, presumably the aluminium is used too)
71% of plastic (packaging, car parts)
??% of metal waste
??% of electronic waste
??% of battery waste (for these two it's apparently not the city's responsibility)
Hazardous waste is not generally recycled
Residual waste (the rest of the rubbish) is incinerated for district heat.

(And yes, I have bins for all of those in my apartment building, except garden waste since there's no garden.)

It's been discussed to death on here.

One side believes there's a risk of companies leaving the App Store if that monopoly's broken, which would make things worse for them than the current situation.

The other thinks that's bullshit because that hasn't happened on Android.

The first notes that Android hasn't restricted Facebook practices such that Facebook's blaming them for significant earnings misses, so, you know, things might play out a little differently on iOS than it did on Android, and also this group prefer the status quo to even the best-likely outcome from shaking that up, so no amount of risk to it is worth it to them (us).

Except usually instead of writing it out plainly like that, the pro-Apple poster writes something shorter and less well-considered, probably assuming certain parts of that are obvious and don't need to be written out, the other jumps on it, a flamewar ensues, and the next time around we get a sea of comments that are like "I just don't understand how this would hurt Apple-lovers, they can just stay on the App Store" and it all repeats.
But there's a difference if you're searching for a tree cutting service in the yellow pages, or if you're googling a chainsaw sharpener, and you get a tree cutting service ad.
It does have a robust 3rd party app marketplace... with fees.

Amazon could sell books if they wanted to, they would just have to pay Apple.
Yeah I agree. Rust is a mildly ugly language, but not because of `use`! It's all the lifetime annotations, turbofish, and macros that make it ugly.
If anything, I think technology like this has gradually empowered people to rise above the autogenerated fugue that has historically always been a part of everyday life (though historically the human mind did a pretty good job generating that on its own thanks to widespread ignorance, superstition, and fear). Speaking personally, I find AI chatbots and image generators when I'm using them myself to be like a refreshing drink of cool fresh water compared with the sensation of being only drip fed or waterboarded by businesses wielding the technology to influence my behavior without my explicit input or full consent.
Ultimately, Levine and Swan say that local and global actions are needed to reduce or get rid of these chemicals in our environments. “We should find ways to prevent further decline and even reverse the trends,” Levine says. “We must avoid being complacent about it and fool ourselves that assisted reproduction is the solution.”

But assisted reproduction is extremely profitable and always has been, some powdered rhino horn to IVF; altering industries and markets is expensive and uncertain, and politicians are for sale to the highest bidder. Just 10 large donors spent $540 million on the recent US midterm elections. The fact that some prominent campaigns resulted in a loss does not mean they wasted their money, any more than a financial loss in business or gambling necessitates the end of a career.

> My audio interface for connecting my keyboard/guitar to my PC is USB-C. I tried USB2 devices and find they have too much latency. It's very noticeable. USB-C has 1ms latency or less.

Are you sure that's not just USB 2.0 interface being shit ? USB2.0 is certainly fast enough to have sub-ms latency.

I actually wondered about how to go with testing USB interface latency, maybe I should test mine when I have slow weekend...
In my opinion a very good point about Rust is that it is built by people who know these functional programming concepts and why they are yseful, but are pragmatic enough to give them names that are easier to grasp for folks who don't know these concepts.

And it's possible the lack of higher kinded types, forcing reimplementation, actually gave the opportunity to look for frindlier names.
You make a good point that much of pythong stdlib is implemented in C. But you could implement python's list in pure python, safely. You can't implement something like that in rust without unsafe.
Police are trained to aim for center mass because that is the most effective take down of a target by a human hand. So I would assume, the machine with a gun attached to it, would have the technology to instantly kill said target with a headshot. I have no question that the tech exists to instantly see and aim with millimeter precision. Could this same precision be used to non lethally incapacitate a target ? —- I’m a cynic. I am having trouble assuming a precise machine with a weapon attached to it in the first place would exist as an effort to employ non lethal force.
What seems short-sighted about that to you? I'm not super familiar, but it seems like something you'd want if you're using const generics.
No, you misunderstood. If somebody says, "I have only $10, I can't afford to do X" then the existence of millions of people who did X on $6 is directly relevant. It's not an abstract appeal to, "perk up, people used to have it worse!" It's a refutation of an explicit claim.
I mean, just make it 30%, or whatever, of stuff that uses their in-built app store payment. If you don't want to use their payment infra, you don't pay and you make whatever arrangements with the user both parties agree to. It forces them to justify their cut other as more than just rent-seeking. Netflix doesn't need any help getting a CC number. Or delivering apps, frankly. Apple inserts themselves as a middleman in that capacity for their benefit and theirs alone.
In Syria a few years back, a group of hundreds including Russian paramilitary attempted to seize an oil rig where 20 US soldiers were stationed. The entire Russian paramilitary group was decimated while not a single US soldier was wounded.
Why is this stuff interesting to people?

You could write an algorithm that does image recognition and cut and paste from a plethora of image resources and build a similar catalog of actual products from a given time period.

This just looks like the typical machine learning throw up of dumping a bunch of statistically averaged and collaged images that's then been blurred as if someone ran their finger across the image and random text. It isn't clear to me where the intrigue is aside from a "hmph, I guess (?) that's cool".
So if I use my bank's app to pay a bill will Apple want 30% of that too? This is really too much.
Yes, actually more like 2 generations once chips are commercially available, the Arizona factory has never been advertised as a cutting edge node.

But there are 100s of media headlines basically implying that by listing high profile customers and not mentioning the date of opening. Those customers will for the most part be using this factory for auxiliary chips.
The problem is being an established, known company doesn't mean you can be trusted to not behave badly on the platform with regard to security vulnerabilities or user privacy. See Facebook as a prime example.

The bad press doesn't really matter as long as they have such a dominant profit share on all mobile software sales.

There are many mechanisms to collectively decide things, so you aren't even close about that (Democracy, the market, representative government at every level, the United Nations, proxy votes for corporations, school boards, boards of governors, juries, HOAs, ballot initiatives and referendums, elections generally, zoning commissions, family meetings, 4 friends debating where to get dinner, really far too many to list here, if anything almost all decisions of any importance are made via some mechanism to collectively decide things).

There isn't a way to collectively decide things with absolute authority, but that is why things don't suck worse in general. If we make collective decisions we could force people to do some things which are more optimal to our goals. However, that assumes that we universally agree on what the goals are (not even close) and that the decisions won't actually be worse for the chosen goals (sometimes they will be far worse) and that the decision making process will never be irreversibly hijacked by some group for their own benefit (it absolutely will be). So you are not just wrong about this, your premise is incorrect and your conclusion does not follow from that premise even if it were.

It’s easy to discount a drawing app because it’s been done so many times before. But simply put, this one is just better than the rest. The UI interaction has been thoughtfully refined and never gets in your way. Over time, it’s become the tool I reach for regularly to create sketches. In retrospect, it’s surprising it hasn’t been done this well before!
Much of the graphics, camera, media, bluetooth, wifi, input handling, etc... stacks are native. There's a massive amount of native code in Android below the veneer of the Java API that apps are given.

Many of the higher level constructs are then in Java/Kotlin, though, like the builtin apps, system ui, activity & window managers, etc...
They mentioned Kafka and some message queue - still a monolith? Would be great to see what architecture they use.
But at the moment, people watch new TV shows when they come out, rather than watching old shows which are just as good. I think it's because they enjoy watching the same thing as other people.
But Stocks and Currencies aren't technically a digital good, they are partial ownership of a company or a hard currency. A NFT is exactly the definition of a digital only good, seeing as how a large number of NFT use-cases are to replace / make portable in-app goods sold in online games / mobile apps, which all currently require IAP fees to purchase on mobile. So this is just Apple applying the same rules to NFTs that apply to purchasing items in mobile games.

Apple was never going to allow the blockchain to remove their 30% cut on these purely digital items, as much as crypto folks preached that the blockchain would remove us from the shackles of App Store IAP payments.

> The entire organization and all its products are built around ads.

Citation?

I assume ads are a big part of Google but I suspect it’s not organized around ads.

Eg I assume the GCP teams don’t report to any ad teams.

I bet Gmail team -which does show ads- is primarily managed to optimize for the paid enterprise customers and they just have an ads guy shove ad boxes in where they can.

I bet no one at Nest reports to an ads team, and they’re organized around making money on a per-device basis instead.

Is Google good at adopting new successful business models? Ask stadia. But I bet there’s plenty of organizational clarity that alternative revenue streams are important.

Disclaimer: I don’t know the internal structure of these teams
If you look at the source [0], that level of energy conservation isn't picking out Blu-Ray players but most major personal uses of electricity for leisure. It includes heating swimming pools, lighting sport facilities, gaming consoles and artificial cooling for outdoor ice skating rinks.

I do agree that putting casinos at level 4 is a bit odd but the idea seems to be that most of the shared indoor leisure facilities are left open as long as possible. That level also includes things like opera and theatre.
