If true that's a pity.

20 years ago, Apple cared about macOS as a Unix, they were interested in putting in features that developers and sysadmins wanted, like this.

Sadly, today's Apple has a rather different attitude towards that sort of thing
It's not about phone it's about bullying. They can pick anything to bully with. It's a phone today, tomorrow it can be clothes, shoes, watch, face or body even. What are you going to do then? I have been bullied by older kids in school for anything just because I was too young.

If I was in the same situation now, my answer to them would be that this is how I like my things and this is how I am. Downside is that you won't fit in those circles, but should you with that kind of people?

One answer could be to go even worse, give him a basic phone (e.g. Nokia 3310)or a basic watch no one in the school would have it and that could be his own unique selling point (or may be not, it doesn't matter). What matters is what your kid likes. I am a parent now and I know I will be facing similar situation one day and I will be teaching my kid to do what he likes instead of giving in to social "demands".

Edit: All I needed at my time in school was some confidence, which I wasn't given from parents, you just need to give your kid the confidence. The means could be to let him know that he can have an iPhone just don't give in to demands of bullys. We shape our wants/needs/desires based on what our social circle expects but that's not what we really want.

Basic consumer protection laws such as that sound reasonable to me; perhaps some more might be a good idea as well. You can argue a bit over the details, but in principle I'm all in favour of that. That's a lot less strong than what you suggested in your previous comment though.
According to "Garry explains" on YouTube, the M1 MBP gets 3 hours of battery life looping kernel (I think) compilations until the laptop dies.
My employer pays for my membership. I use them for primary care and for getting blood labs drawn.

They're just like any other in-network clinic, except they try to provide an above-average experience. They bill your insurance, and you're still on the hook for copays. I suspect that they're more likely to write off stuff that insurance rejects rather than bill you, but all I know is I've directly paid them maybe $40 over the last 3 years.

Their clinics are comfortable and pleasantly decorated. Their front desk workers are all friendly and happily tackle clerical issues like tracking down external lab orders in other networks' systems.

Their app is about as meh as any other, but their scheduling system is actually usable with plenty of available appointments. For labs in particular, I can just drop in without an appointment and be done in 15 minutes. All the phlebotomists I've had have been skilled and empathic. I was able to get a 12-lead ECG there, too.

Their video sessions are very easy and convenient, and I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes or so. They aren't really going to solve any problems unless you just need an obvious prescription filled, but it's very comforting to be able to get a quick opinion from a random nurse practitioner. It's a nice way to help decide whether or not a problem is worth a trip to urgent care.

Though both wouldn't be for us but from anything that they have to assume behaves similar as them, at some point. How likely is that this would be any significant effort for them at all?

But I also believe that the stance is unlikely and they hopefully had more caring thoughts for us... like we care for all the extinction of our fellow species on this planet.. ehm or maybe should, but they taste too good and I need my house warm :D
no, it's like when someone is following the law to the letter but not the spirit of the law. Aka finding a loophole. No one will laud this.

In this instance I'd say it's funny and a bit creative, but way less creative than the other participants trying to build actual paper planes.

I think all this achieve is proving to the people who wrote the rules they made a mistake. Rules will hopefully be updated, so value is not zero, but it's not really what the spirit of the competition was about.

The only instance I admire this thinking is when the "wrong" rules are not written by humans but rather preexistent. If someone manage to find out the understanding we had of the rules was wrong and finds a quicker solution because of it, that's amazing.
The child must want to do martial arts or whatever other solution to appreciate it.

The parent ought to build up their child, and __telling__ and reasoning to the child why they are wrong is not the way to solve a social or emotional problem.
Just take the operator overloading from Ceylon which has been designed to only allow mathematical use cases and harder to abuse for anything else. When you see an expression a + b it might not be two numbers but it will most likely be associative, distributive and commutative.
> Lucy's Love
Lucy is a strong woman from the Bronx - she is unapologetically herself and she loves it.

> Every morning she wakes up at the crack of dawn and takes the subway to her job downtown. She works for a big law firm, and she knows the ins and outs of the courtroom like the back of her hand.

> But on the weekends, she's a different person. She loves to explore the streets of the Bronx with her girlfriends, and they always find something new and exciting to do.

> Today, they've decided to take a trip to the Bronx Zoo. Lucy loves animals and can't wait to see all the different species. She's especially excited to see the giraffes - she's heard they have the most beautiful eyes.

> The day passes quickly and they spend hours exploring the zoo. They laugh, they talk, and they take lots of pictures.

> When it's time to go, Lucy feels an overwhelming sense of happiness. She loves the Bronx, and she loves the people in it. She's proud to call it her home and she wouldn't want it any other way.

> Lucy takes the subway back to her apartment and smiles as she remembers the day.

Surely these descriptions are also AI generated?? I actually got angry reading this at how bland and "non-offensive" this story is, lol. Is there a word for that?

Also, which part of this made up story should Lucy hypothetically feel apologetic for (as suggested in the opening sentence)? Loving animals and the Bronx?
By that logic it was capitalism that also made Half Life since HL2 etc.. wouldn't be possible without capitalism which funded development.

Professional sporting teams in Australia have been doing this a decade ago. In 2012, an AFL (Australian Football) team injected 34 players with the banned peptide Thymosin Beta-4.

FWIW they were crazy fit and won their first 8 games of the season. Their captain won the highest award at the end of the season while the coach was even said to be injecting a peptide (Melanotan II) for a summer tan.

It's like someone was trying to come up with the blandest, stereotypical piece of garbage of a background story for a character. Sounds like something ChatGPT could have written.
Good points.

The issue isn't that a MacBook is the wrong tool for the job, it's precisely that it's demonstrably capable of being the right tool for the job but Apple deliberately chooses to make it useless in an attempt to ring fence products within their ecosystem.

The comparison to the console world is apt as it mirrors Apple's attempts to lock their platform down, much like the console ecosystem. Thankfully the bootloader is unlocked and it's unlikely that's going to change.

Remember that the MacBook pro is a device marketed at professionals looking to do the work of their profession on their laptops. By "professional", it appears that Apple means "multimedia editors". If you are a software engineer, you are no longer the target audience for the MBP lineup.

I halted my artistic career due to the concept of identity. It dawned on me that I was tailoring my artwork to suit the preferences and expectations of others, which led to a profound realization. I made a conscious decision to disentangle my creative output from commercial validation and societal pressures.

What it looks like is putting far more regulation in place surrounding hiring and employee protections. Layoffs have not hit Europe to the same extent largely because it's slower and more cumbersome to hire and fire, so employers are naturally more cautious. In the US you can hire and fire at will, so why be cautious?

If companies were required to give 2 months notice like they are in many EU countries you bet your ass they'd be more cautious.

Like often enough, the problem is not capitalism per se, but rather the completely unregulated American variant of capitalism.
Self-replicating programs aren't new, but using ChatGPT to do it is. However, although alluring in terms of imagination, the reality is that self-replicating programs typically end up being useless. They never seem to evolve to be useful unless by random accident, which is perhaps the goal, but even then that seems to be a rarity which never goes any further.

There may be a dividing line somewhere between "people making art for the sake of it with no regard for its perception by others" and "people making art to be received by others" (whether they're making it only/primarily as a product for others is a different story). The latter ones will definitely compete with AI-generated art because human attention is limited. If there's more stuff to pay attention to (say, a million expressive portraits with a nice-sounding backstory a day), the attention will be divided among those, and the humans will receive less of it.
Hats off, not only for the product but also for pursuing and solving the problems that you mentioned! Really cool! Just curious, is the technology prohibitively costly for individuals? If so, do you have any plans to make it accessible to mainstream public?

>You lack holistic understanding of the science behind life and what cancer is. I will explain. And once I'm done, you should understand

I think you're being unfair in your response. "Life looks a lot like cancer" can be true and life and cancer can be totally different. They only need to look like each other.

I'd also be careful to ever invoke the term "the science".
But unless they tested this on a single human being; doesn't this mean that we can read brains (it's just this one particular reader is bad).

I am somewhat shocked about how many people here think that getting an iPhone will change anything. That's all leading up to start smoking, etc. "to be one of the cool kids".

Worse, it's actually re-inforcing bullying, and make the kid a target, because it obviously works. You don't stop a behavior by making it work out.

I however agree with people that it's not a technical problem, so trying to solve it like one is doomed to fail.

The "solution" really depends on the context though. The assumption that owning an iPhone will turn a bullied outsider into being part of a peer group is bizarre and only works in commercials and bad TV shows.
I've been running the `psst` spotify app on my M1 the last few days and its great.

Seriously. If you aren't on 100% Apple hardware it gets annoying quickly. Things like scroll wheel acceleration, which gives you the option of scrolling a quarter line or 10 lines at at time. No problem, you can just turn it off, right? Nope, that option was removed a few major releases ago and now you need third-party accessibility software.
I hope so because the alternative is that a human wrote that milquetoast drivel and I'd like to think we're better than that.

>No matter what you do on the client side, the database engine itself should escape/validate the data. Didn't we learn that lesson with PHP?

You apparently didn't learn any lesson from PHP. The impossibility of the database engine to distinguish a code from a data character is what lead to SQL injections in the first place.

It doesn't matter whether you replace the template expression with a ? or with $1. The database receives the parameters outside the SQL query and treats them as user input either way.

It doesn’t seem like that, it is like that. We consume second-hand Ayn Rand instead.
I don’t get the criticism here. Normally I’d be the first to err on the side of skepticism, but this work seems above board.

I think the confusion is that this model is generating “teddy bear” internally, not a photo of a teddy bear. I.e. the diffusion part was added for flair, not to generate the details of the images that exist inside your mind. They could just as easily have run print(“teddy bear”), but they’re sending it to diffusion instead of printing it to console.

The fact that it can correctly discern between a dozen different outputs is pretty remarkable. And that’s all that this is showing. But that’s enough.

It’s not really a “gotcha” to say that it’s showing an image from the training set. They could have replaced diffusion with showing a static image of a teddy bear.

It sounds like this is many readers’ first time confronting the fact that scientists need to do these kinds of projects to get funding. As long as they’re not being intentionally deceptive, it seems fine. There’s a line between this and that ridiculous “rat brain flies plane” myth, and this seems above it.

Disclaimer: I should probably read the paper in detail before posting this, but the criticism of “the building looks like a training image” is mostly what I’m responding to. There are only so many topics one can think about, and having a machine draw a dog when I’m thinking about my dog Pip is some next-level sci-fi “we live in the future” stuff. Even if it doesn’t look like Pip, does it really matter?

Besides, it’s a matter of time till they correlate which parts of the brain are more prone to activating for specific details of the image you’re thinking about. Getting pose and color right would go a long way. So this is a resolution problem; we need more accurate brain sampling techniques, i.e. Neuralink. Then I’m sure diffusion will get a lot more of those details correct.
