> The near-term dangers of the technology include misinformation, insidious bias and discrimination against marginalised groups and minorities

All of the same could be said of the internet itself when AOL started its outreach. By god, anybody can publish anything-- and just like that, it becomes truth!

They said the same about the printing press, and probably that heretic Martin Luther too.

The FUD is reaching "eternal damnation" levels of histrionics. You keep saying we're in danger of this apocalyptic event, but nobody seems to know what the hell you're talking about. What exactly do you know about this tech that we don't?

More and more it looks like minority groups are trying to wrest control of the technology away from the masses, citing vague dangers like people misleading each other, such that we once again have to depend on a handful of ordained priests to interpret the Word of God and deliver us from evil. We trust priests, right?

Human interests have flooded the streets with guns such that children are murdering each other in schools. Human laws force women to carry pregnancies to term even if it kills them. Human-engineered addiction goes unchecked. But we're told a fucking NPC they created is an existential threat to humanity-- and that their historically-reckless corporate creators should be entrusted with exclusive governance over it.

From what I've seen, current instruct-based models are frighteningly adept at fraud and manipulation, but we downplay both as "hallucination." Nobody citing safety is talking about the danger of trusting a clearly-mentally-ill entity as a source of truth though, because that would lead to fear and distrust of the product...
I believe you two may be discussing theory vs practice. Users want the convenience of keys being synced across devices.
> but the WebAuthn spec (which is what passkeys are based on) doesn't require any contact info to be provided.

This isn't an issue with the spec, it's an issue with account creation, account information, and recovery flow on part of the operators of the website. Those operators are already familiar with this dance. They will use information that is required for registration in order to provide account recovery, and yes, this will include an optional, or possibly mandatory, email address/phone number/whatever to do so.

Existing registration flows that already work and ask for this information will barely need to change, and most users of Passkeys will be adding them to these already existing flows, so it's practically a non-issue. Or at least no more than it already was.
Pretty good PDF reader too
iOS has an Optimized Battery Charging option that does something like that. You can't set a schedule, though - it's based on your usage patterns.
Inflation has only been significant in the last 2 years max.
> I was equally immersed 20 years ago playing Gothic and Oblivion as I am playing recent games, graphically speaking.

But you wouldn't be immersed on Gothic now. By playing gothic you set a new bar for yourself and that's how the industry works. Audiences everywhere get more and more sophisticated so much so that what worked back then won't work today and what works today won't work tomorrow. Can't wait until the time RDR2 becomes an "old" game with shitty graphics.
I read this struggle as less about consumer protection & more about compliance. Do you have iso x y and z? Are you doc whatever? Do you meet balh blah blah? Governments end up shopping for contracts & products at a very small number of large shops.
This is not a user privacy vs. megacorp story, it's a national security story.

I wish there was a megacorp privacy story to run here, sadly, I'm not sure Congress will go for it.

There is only one solution and that is for TT to be 'forked' from ByteDance/Doyin. It would literally cost almost nothing, there are almost zero synergies between Doyin and TT at this point, they will do just fine separately, and it won't cost anything but a few bankers/accountants to do the split.

TT will have to be based in Singapore or US and be completely independent from BD/Doyin but that's fine.

Nothing will skip a beat, everyone can be happy, kids can have their app but CCP won't have any control visibility at all.

Funny enough, ByteDance could probably retain maybe even majority control, although that might not work in practices.

And then we can get on with trying to get Congress to protect consumers from Meta ...
Wow they straight ripped the design for their website from the Apple website.
Two more options:
- Read the source code. NGinx is some of the cleanest C code I've seen and is fairly to read / grep for added insights.
- Buy a license to get paid support.
Be aware though that they won't support you if you've modified the source code.
Just lean into the nausea thing and make a very nice sailing simulator, I'm sure Larry Ellison would sponsor as long as there are F50 cats.

The Moral Lesson in ‘Office Space' Everyone Misses
I'd never heard of them either. Seems to be an iPhone thing.

"Basically, Live Photos on iPhone is a regular digital photo and a short 2 seconds video recording the few moments before the photo. Essentially, the iPhone camera captures 2 media files, one photo and one video. When viewing a Live Photo, the operating system, iOS plays the video file first and then it shows the picture."

The part that makes me feel old is that I have literally no idea why this sort of thing would be useful or desirable.
SCOTUS is dysfunctional: art isn't art and women don't have bodily autonomy.
This kind of thing is exactly why in C++, when a derived class declares a method, it doesn't just overload any methods with the same name inherited from the bases, but hides them. If you actually want overloading across the hierarchy, the derived class needs to explicitly opt into it by "using" the base methods it needs.
Don’t get your hopes up. Nintendo is probably not going to tolerate the low battery life the Steam Deck has, which means they’re probably looking at a device far less powerful than the Deck.
How does Pixelmator compare to Affinity photo? I've been looking for an apple aperture replacement; I know adobe lightroom is the best option available, but I already have too many subscriptions.
DarkBERT: A Language Model for the Dark Side of the Internet
Not any more than there was a C/C++ war. C++ is for people that aren't scared of features and want their code to be reliable. C is for people that really value simplicity and don't care about the odd segfault or catastrophic security vulnerability (in some situations that is reasonable).

It's basically the same with Rust vs Zig.
I lived in Denmark for a year a few years ago during University and lived with a Family, and remember that for most families not living within the densest core of the city owned one car but used transit for most if not all local trips.

The thing is, the entire society (at least in Copenhagen) is built around car-lite life (for example small corner grocery everywhere instead of large supermarkets). Additionally there is such low abject poverty that there is little tension with crime, homelessness etc.

My point is, lack of interest in public transit is merely symptomatic of larger issues we as Americans face, such as sprawl, existing infrastructure, crime, inequality etc.
Bailout are coming in 1,2,3...
I think a lot of it is the writing on the wall... long term, it's software as a service model that will be their recurring revenue streams. I'm not sure what they're making in terms of just Windows licensing, but can guess that M365 is probably as much or more per year.

In the past 6-7 years most of the applications I've worked on, even those using Visual Studio, C#, etc. Have been tested/deployed on Linux more than Windows.
That is the real problem. Suburbs are mostly dense enough to support good transit, but you can't get good transit into cul-de-sacs. The bus takes too long getting down each one, and if you live in the next one it is a waste of time going down it - while if you do live down that one it has to because you don't live in walking distance of a road they can get down. No cul-de-sac alone has enough people to support the bus.

A subway could be dug under everything, but the $$$ are too high. A gondola system could potentially go between houses and so serve a few cul-de-sacs before coming out at a suburban station - this looks like the lowest cost answer, but it still isn't cheap.
It can take decades for that to happen. If you expand your options to be global there are many great places. I find it so odd that the only options that are allowed to be discussed here seems to be at most 12 metropolitan areas in the United States, who mandated that?

It's like having a discussion about food and only accepting chain restaurants.
I'm a bit of a broken record on this, but copyright lasting beyond the death of the author is important so that near-death authors can still sell their work. It would be near-worthless to a buyer/publisher/etc. if it was about to enter public domain. Imagine the headline "Famous artist diagnosed with terminal cancer - suddenly can't sell her work to fund her treatment."
The animated gif in the article sure does make it seem like a very simple filter. I guess the "Warhol aesthetic" was at one time novel and seems basic now, but just changing the colors of a photograph isn't particularly transformative.
It will have a big effect.

Information funnels don't work by such hyper rational actions such as 'going to a different state to do something'.

That won't happen.

TT use will fall dramatically, and given the nature of 'tipping points and critical masses' - it will change things.

The 'strategic' issue, is that this may be the US doing a bit of 'dipping toes in the water' in a small state, before taking broader action, which I think they will do.
> The money's definitely out there

Right, I'm not denying that - it's just that Levels.fyi puts numbers that high at 90% percentile TC, the industry median is still significantly lower.
Rotoscoping is similar.

> furthermore there planning abilities are non-existent.

Have you even tried to ask it to plan things out? It can plan things out.

In fact, just asking it to plan things out has shown significant benchmark improvements for general questions: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.04091.pdf
Our collective human culture should not be controlled by some authoritarian court system. We should be free to use the elements of humanity's collective cultural product in any way we want, and, let's face it, who is going to enforce it?

Oh right, the authoritarian state... You know, I think AI can help us dismantle the authoritarian state. Certainly not an outcome that Orwell envisionged... but plausible, I think.
And then when he wholeheartedly went into making movies, we ended up with this year’s Mario movie, which is a totally late Miyamoto snoozefest.
> eg making a youtube 'documentary' about yourself

Would that not be transformative? Your product was the documentary. It wouldn't be something that could undermine sales of the original. There are plenty of youtubers painting Rothko knock offs.

> leverages the fame of the original work

Using another's fame isn't what's protected is it? That would require something more like a trademark. Can I not write a book called "Who ate Picasso's Guernica?" or some such?
I'm pretty sure the reason for the forever upgrades since Win7 is more because it costs them less to have fewer variations of windows in the wild than to stay closer to evergreen.
You could drop a reverse proxy infront which rewrites the user agent, this will probably fox many of the issues.

I’d be cautious about using a DVR for any sensitive situation if it’s unmaintained if the Dvr is used in sensitive scenarios. There would be a significant amount of reputational damage if it’s ever hacked, particularly if ugly workarounds are used to bypass software being totally EOL’d.
> No one watches recorded plays.

Well, almost no one. Let's do the time warp again!
Five Guys and In N Out are competing in different market niches. In N Out is operating in the fast food bracket, competing with McDonalds and Jack In The Box (both of which it's cheaper than, remarkably). Five Guys is trying to be a more premium burger place, in the fast-casual market. In that niche, we can compare it to Panera or Blaze Pizza or the like, where a $15-20/person bill isn't unusual at all.
Can you source the 14 cents per subsequent unit? Every article I found has Apple charging $1 / port (e.g. [1]). There was also apparently a 50k upfront fee to get the technical documentation. Also, since Apple was the primary PC with a Firewire interface (modulo Sony using it in their cameras & thus putting it in their own laptops), the overall market to cell Firewire-enabled accessories was quite small, which artificially inflated the price. If this was a more common standard, you'd see the licensing fee becoming a larger and larger problem and Apple was small enough then that vendors just avoided getting fully locked into Apple's ecosystem (whereas with iPhone the market is just too compelling to avoid this for most players).

Cul-de-sacs are designed to frustrate cars! It is NOT at all hard to make something like that very walker friendly - just add paths for pedestrians and bikes that slip between the homes in strategic points, and now to drive somewhere you have to go around a whole square mile, but to walk it's direct.

And many suburbs in the USA are actually technically their own towns, some older, some younger, and you can walk around just fine if you plan a bit and want to.

After all, if you live in a town of 10k people almost by definition you can walk everywhere that is available.
If you hit and seriously injure someone, that $35 insurance will not cover the multi-million dollar medical and legal and recompense bills.

This can be a working strategy if you don't have a dollar to your name (whomever you hit won't be able to squeeze blood out of a stone), and never intend to have a dollar to your name, but is generally ill-advised for someone in the middle-class, who has money and assets to lose.
I don't think it's a solution looking for a problem. I'd be willing to put them on at work and see which pins on a piece of hardware do what instead of looking back and forth between a datasheet. Lots of examples exactly like that, especially if the glasses are fed sensor data so the temperature/pressure appears right beside the area it is measuring.
When on an iPhone and viewing a “live photo”, you can hold down on the screen and the image turns into a short video leading up to the moment of the photo.

For military or police use I can imagine superimposing models of hidden targets derived from aerial imagery. Granted the derivation part is presently missing.

Interior design is another subject that comes to mind.
Had the same experience. The solution is just to use a family member's phone number.

The phone number isn't ever used again and is just used to limit automated signups as far as I can tell.
Doesn’t Geekbench overwhelmingly measure raw CPU performance, whereas GP was talking about overall system performance? Isn’t this chalk and cheese?
Some sentences I've highlighted:

"I am credited with being one of the hardest workers and perhaps I am, if thought is the equivalent of labor, for I have devoted to it almost all of my waking hours."

"Our first endeavors are purely instinctive, promptings of an imagination vivid and undisciplined...but those early impulses, tho not immediately productive, are of the greatest moment and may shape our very destinies."

"When I get an idea I start at once building it up in my imagination".

"But instinct is something which transcends knowledge. We have, undoubtedly, certain finer fibers that enable us to perceive truths when logical deduction, or any other willful effort of the brain, is futile."
Points out the ecosystem this issue is limited to
Popular programming languages don't get replaced, even by something that's mostly a superset. C++ didn't mean the end of C.

So I'd say stick with your plan, as there is going to be Rust around for a long time.

It's rather early to learn Zig, as it's not stable yet. It might be worth learning if you're curious and want to tinker.
That seems like a pretty stupid plan given that it was only recently that Florida overtook Texas in legislative culture wars. Pretty much any other state would be a better choice.
We have a different understanding of magic. Say if someone pressed a button and a human-like thing emerged out of a machine, I would call that pretty magical. Even if it was DNA-based, which we "understand", or ran an ML model, which we "understand". This is something that never come close to being done. Yet I think you would not find it magical.

Einstein found wonder in the simplicity of a circle. What do you find magical?
That's easy: they’ll create Photomator v2 and voila - you need to pay the full price again, because “this version has SO MANY innovations...”
How is this a vulnerability, if it needs admin access on the box where the user types the master password? Is there any circumstance in which you could steal someone's password this way but wouldn't be able to do so with a keylogger?
I don’t think this works in academia.
I think their strategy is to weaken their opponent by building strong opensource models, they know they have lost the race to Microsoft and trying to go open source so people would not use other models.
Seems like a stretch to me. An AI tool doesn't just recolor an existing image, it generates nearly entirely novel ones.

Except demand is falling, as demonstrated by the very article you're commenting under. Or by the figures showing people saved energy like crazy over the last 6 months. Or by the rise in people struggling with bills and credit [1]. I don't know what numbers you're looking at, but it's pretty clear that people are hurting more now than they did before, and that is inevitably going to kill demand.

This argument isn't very compelling. Shell scripts are great at tricking you into believing you've got something 100% working when in fact you've only accounted for the happy path and maybe two or three failure cases. This is the primary reason shell scripts are so often broken. There are tons of assumptions baked in which are easily violated.

If your shell script keeps breaking, and you keep fixing it by writing more shell, then you're in an abusive relationship with your programming environment.
I have a late 2015 i7 with 16gb RAM, 512 SSD, brand new battery. Works great, despite Apple trying to push me to buy new stuff.
I really like Apple’s web design, then I reworked my personal site to follow that style and … I reached the same conclusion, it was too close and felt scammy / weird. I didn't use it.

I realized I just wanted clean / simple but not too close to a company where it started to feel "off".
This marketing-driven distinction is disappointing to me. I switched to Pixelmator Pro not because it has layers but because it was an affordable image editor. I highly doubt anyone would use Pixelmator Pro if it didn't have single image editing, which is now apparently the defining distinction between Pixelmator Pro and Photomator.

Pixelmator Pro was introducing great AI-driven single image editing tools for years (e.g. background removal and upscaling), so re-positioning it in relation to Photomator is bs.
Then ban the psychological manipulation. Not one company. And good luck defining that term legally without running afoul of the constitution.
I'm talking about established prairie ecosystems. The plants there depend on saplings to be killed by fires before they become full grown trees, while they can recover from the fires quicker.

The hypothetical dystopia you've invented here doesn't follow at all from even the worst behavior of the actual Apple company. Why do you assume that "having an app floating around in your field of vision" is automatically the same thing as "80% of your visual field filled with ads"?
And amusingly enough, once you're "far enough away" from civilization you probably end up in a small town or near one, and suddenly ... it's entirely walkable.
They can be fun, you get a photo plus a short video "for free." Much easier than filming constantly and editing things down later. You can pick a different key frame to display as well, so it can be a good way to fix an awkwardly-timed yawn or such.

I don't use them personally, though, but I'm a curmudgeon about my camera controls ;)

I think Google added something similar in their Pixel camera app.
In which way does that allow me to move the files from computer to phone viabusb phone like every other device in the world?

This feels very similar to the "think about the children" lines when people want to keep their privacy online. It's stupidly specific, and if you have to twist this far to find an example, I think you have nothing.
Who is "they?" What did they find?
I wish more programming languages provided interfaces for building libraries around the std library like what Go does. It makes using libraries a lot better because you aren't dependent on that library as long as it uses the std library interface.

This is huge for things like database drivers which might become outdated or not support certain features. In Go switching database drivers in as simple as importing the new library. You dont have to change your code.

In rust for example you have to go out and pick a database driver and no two libraries will work the same. If you pick one postgres library and it becomes outdated you have to go rewrite you code to support the next one to move too.

This is why I would never use Rust, or Zig for being things like http servers.
The human being, who instructed the computer to use it to do the language modeling? What does attention have to do, exclusively, with language modeling?
Yeah... Each time I see someone cashing in on a dead artists licenses I picture Sony Bono chiming in from an RIAA luxury lounge in the sky: "I got you babe!"
Apple thing; they're short clips of about a second, with a few options for displaying as loops or long exposures.
