File attachments in PDF documents refer to the feature that enables the inclusion of supplementary files or documents within a PDF document. The PDF attachment files can be beneficial when sending related documents, such as a report with supporting documents or a portfolio of design work.

The Syncfusion PDF Library is a feature-rich and high-performance .NET library that supports adding attachments to a PDF document from within the application code. The library also provides APIs for extracting attachments from PDF documents and modifying and deleting existing attachments.

This article will cover adding, extracting, and removing file attachments from a PDF document using the Syncfusion .NET PDF Library.
The first iPhone was an iPod that could make phone calls; that was all it needed to be (for the people who were already carrying a phone and an iPod).
Patents are supposedly granted to inventors, yet the preamble of each patent independently lists 'inventor' and 'assignee'.
So what part exactly does the assignee play other than to represent capital? And clearly capital is valued over innovation, as it is the assignee that actually 'owns' the patent, not the inventor.
Yeah, I actually wonder if 4k ends up being as good as it sounds in practice for the use-cases Apple are pushing.

A 27" 4k monitor in real life should look better than a virtual 27" window pushing the same resolution within the 4k display of the headset. For stuff like text that's going to have a corresponding loss in sharpness, and because you could be seeing something at an angle there's going to be lots of weird aliasing effects. There's a reason why Apple starting pushing 5k monitors.

I'd guess the tech would need to get to 8k+ for each eye before it starts feeling "really good" for these use cases.
Cannabis is indeed a psychedelic substance. Many users don't experience it as such, but in the proper dose, and especially ones first usage of it, can be intensely psychedelic. The challenge with the cannabis experience is, it is often deeply clouded in fear and paranoia.

I bet someone could read the messages in these videos quite easily under the influence of cannabis, but I doubt most would be comfortable at that level of intoxication to enjoy the experience while it occurred.
Albeit unpopular opinion, this kind of things is one of the reasons why I'll always push for Java instead of a jigsaw of different languages that sound cool.

Stability, scalability and simplicity. Yes, you read correctly.

Whomever complains that Java is bloated or complex, needs only to look on who is writing that "piece" of code. Expert developers will write proper code that anyone can maintain and keep simple.

Too bad for Digg. Was a good site.
> There are at least 1,000 books written for every movie shot, even including material shot by amateurs with their phones

> However, if you include self-published authors you’re looking at close to 4 million new book titles published each year.

Combining those, you claim that less than 4,000 movies are shot each year, “even including material shot by amateurs with their phones”.

I can’t see how that can be true. Google tells me there are about 2 million weddings in the USA each year. From that, I think it’s a very, very safe bet that over 10,000 wedding videos are shot in the USA each year, with the real number probably over a million.

Add in corporate videos, wedding anniversaries, videos about sports teams winning championships, high-quality tube channels, etc, and I expect the total number to easily be over 4 million.

And that still puts the bar higher than “material shot by amateurs with their phones”

Thanks for pointing it out so clearly. Bayesian statistics is the right tool for this analysis as we have a base rate in the population (prior) and a test accuracy (conditional probability).

I actually think the other explanations are wrong. They are probably reporting the Hazard Ratio, which is more often used as primary outcome for efficacy of drug than 5 year survival. (See for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazard_ratio)

The hazard ratio, under some assumptions, tries to estimate the relative risk of dying per unit of time. The benefit of this measure is that there is not some artificial cutoff (the difference between a death at 4 years and 364 days and 5 years and 1 day is neglible).
people who have experienced what they refer to as "eternity", "multiple life times", "thousands of years", etc.

They didn't "experience an eternity". They experienced an emotional feeling they likened to an eternity. This is the difference between your computer running a program for a thousand years and you changing the date settings. These people did not go through an eternity of perception, processing, and thought; they had the label on their memories altered.

So far, no one has commented on this large downside of passkeys: that it will promote the ease of sites to require login since it's much easier to generate a passkey than to remember a new password or even store it.

Thus, passkeys lubricate the path towards an ever-increasing login-based society where it becomes much easier to track and monitor your online behaviour. Although it has the benefit of making our existing lives easier by removing the need to remember our banking passwords, it also will bring us further into the realm of technology by making more and more services log-in based.

A greater ease of making a log-in based service means more revenue, more profit for Apple, and a greater integration of technology into our lives. Few people realize this because we have been conditioned to believe that new technology is solely for our benefit.

In reality, Apple is not concerned with our benefit. They are concerned with profit and making technology more efficient to accomplish that end. So although passkeys might seem nice, there is a serious downside to this technology.

It sounds to me like the GH200 achieves more FLOPS per transistor. So, compute demand will be quicker satisfied via the GH200 than via "smaller" chips such as the H100.

Having said that, I don’t think we’re anywhere near some kind of equilibrium for AI compute. If chip supply would magically double tomorrow, then the large companies would buy it for their datacenters and have 100% utilization in a few weeks. They all want to train larger models and scale inference to more users.
> I think kids naturally want to fiddle with things and learn something new.

I have two kids. I can tell you that it's not necessarily true, and kids spend an ungodly amount of time silently comparing themselves to their peers. It's always "My friend has this", "My friend does that". It takes a special kind of kid to have the patience, attention and time needed to want to fiddle around with a computer. I've tinkered with computers, smartphones, etc, all my life and shared as much as I could about it with my children - they have zero interest.

Of course, they don't know about the data collection and they're growing up in a world that normalizes that kind of behavior. When looking back, they'll go-- well as a kid I had that, so I guess that's ok. Google, Facebook, Microsoft, et. al. wants that- they know it's just a matter of time.

My kids have had cell phones since 12 for 'necessary' purposes, but they were not allowed to use it except for that. Otherwise, kept in the public space, in view and must ask to use it. My oldest is halfway till 17 and hardly uses their phone now. I have been thanked for this because they notice how their friends are addicted. The goal here is to avoid priming your kids' brain to be addicted to phones, not necessarily avoiding tech.
I feel that all the analogies to our generations (x or z presumably) watching tv and video games growing up is actually not a good parallel. I hated that I watched so much TV and video games. I wish I had read more as a kid.
Good read. Interesting that the author’s takeaway is that folks consider Digg v4 to be a catastrophic launch because of the myriad technical issues.

I don’t even remember there being technical issues, I just remember logging in one day to find a website I enjoyed replaced with a bunch of crap I wasn’t interested in.
Did you read my other comments? Could you be more explicit about your question?
80% of men over 80 have prostate cancer. It is virtually an inevitability that if you live long enough, some cancers will develop. The questions which are more pertinent are: at what stage is your cancer, where is it located, is it metastasizing, and how progressive is it.

This test goes beyond "do you have cancer" by probabilistically identifying the presence, location, and progression of cancers. The results are shared with your doctor, who analyzes the results, gives them to you, and sets up your diagnostic and treatment plan.

Galleri does not talk directly to patients. This email was more like "your results say you need to follow up with your doctor" so the result was 400 people potentially having an extra doctor visit where they did not have any cancer results to discuss. Hardly malpractice.

Most "moderators" are just people who follow some tags, answer regularly, vote to close shit questions etc. A few spend a lot of time on SO, but most moderators don't.

If you work with foobar and want to know what problems people actually have with foobar, what they think its features are, how they misunderstand, all that sort of thing, then following the right tags and answering will get you that. You get to decide when to answer, how much time to spend, etc.

If you have problems with stooopid coworkers and want to improve the way you communicate with them, SO is a fine place to hone your patience, particularly if you use a pseudonym.

If you want someone to think you've deep expertise in some niche and should be hired for $$$/hour, pointing them to a row of SO answers on that niche tag is one way.

Of course only some of this applies to you.
I Did It – I Switched to FreeBSD
Are you saying they don't use any physical keys? That would be surprising to me...

I've found it really easy to teach non-technical people how to use U2F tokens. Just tell them it's like a door key but instead of plugging it in and turning, you plug it in and touch. That's all there is. It's been much more intuitive* to my older family members than SMS codes (that sometimes get lost), authenticator apps (that have a huge list of services from which you need to quickly find the one you want and type the code), or password managers (that either cost money or are difficult to set up across devices).

*: I know this because I've never had to do "tech support" for family members that have accounts set up to use U2F tokens, but I have had plenty of calls related to "not getting the SMS code" or "the (insert brand) password manager isn't filling in the password for my account!"
I think headsets like this one, will replace screens for sit-down cases… working at your computer, watching movies, browsing the internet, etc.

But it’s going to take time. The uptake on this particular device will be small due to the price (very small by Apple’s standards).

For V2 maybe they can save a chunk of money by dropping the wearer pass-through display, and just indicate the wearer’s status with some LEDs (You’ve got a big headset on. People around you being able to see a representation of your eyes isn’t going to make them feel more comfortable/connected to you.)
Make it a triple dip. Third party apps don't provide any analytics back to Reddit which is what Reddit really wants - they're A/B experimenting all the goddamn time and to be honest it's annoying that stuff always shifts around or gets shipped in a half broken state.

Also, clearly defined APIs take a lot of flexibility away from them, which is yet another thing that beancounters don't want.
According to Ilya Sutskever in a podcast that I heard, GPUs are already pretty close to ASIC performance for AI workloads. Nvidia can highly optimize the full stack due to their economies of scale.
> Sometimes they don't know what WOULD make them happy, but most of the time they are pretty certain about what DID make them happy or unhappy.

I’m not so sure about this. I’m not certain what did make me happy or unhappy. I have some theories and sometimes are really confident, but it’s hard to tell a year later out of all the things done which positively contributed and which didn’t.

Also, I don’t think the goal of parenting is happiness. Not for the parents or kids. Life is more than just being happy and I think it’s reductionist to focus on that as the paramount outcome. Especially to kids where there’s lots of stuff happening that may not pay off until years later- studying, being creative, training, learning, etc. Maybe positive decisions are not going to yield happiness for a long time.

And as a parent, there’s so much sacrifice that we make for kids that don’t involve any happiness for the parent but give more probability of success for our children.
It blocks or slows only couple weeks at max. Not really a big gain.

The river has 6 dams. Ukraine can control the upstream flow.
It is estimated than in three days, the highest point in downstream is reached and then it will get lower. In the war which has lasted more than year, the benefit is meaningless.

On the other hand, the flow flushes all the Russian defenses on the other side. And the source of drinkable water in Crimean is ruined.
> VR is weird in that once you cross a certain pixel density, no further improvements will matter because the eye won't be able to resolve the image better.

Can people stop saying this? I can clearly see every individual pixel of my 4K display. This headset is not even close to the limit of visual resolution. It doesn't matter if 16k is the limit of the retina if the headset is only 4k per eye anyway, that's almost 2 orders of magnitude. Much like the difference in price between this headset and a much sharper 4K display.

I get that it's technologically impressive compared to nothing, and I get that the main selling point is motion, not resolution. But until I can comfortably read text on a simulated 4K display, it won't be impressive to me.
One problem with Sandstorm is that it didn't have something like miniflare. (Cloudflare didn't either until recently, and that's fixed now, but the value prop was high enough otherwise that this wasn't fatal.)

Another is that it lacked (and still does, from what I can see) a killer app. It had the perfect conditions last year with the Twitter acquisition, but to my knowledge didn't seize upon it. (Likewise, Cloudflare had a similar opportunity, but the Wildebeest project comes off as a celebration of Cloudflare's infrastructure for the sake of it and/or aimed at those who love devops stack complexity, generally—a fairly tonedeaf response to what would drive someone to want to run their own fediverse node that's not backed by Mastodon.)

The weird URLs—or rather: the constraints that led to them, and the downstream consequences to UX—didn't help.
Forget about production, how did this make it into python? This is so unbelievably stupid it makes PHP look like a sensible language.
> Apple showed off 180-degree 3D videos with spatial audio in something called the Apple Immersive Video Format, which the company apparently shot with proprietary cameras it may or may not release. (They looked like the 3D videos we’ve been seeing in VR demos forever.) https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/5/23750003/apple-vision-pro-...

Let's see how this will pan out
I think 4k might really be a bare minimum for this kind of thing. For the text heavy use cases that apple are pushing things like pixel density are going to be much more important than the gaming usecases VR has been used for thus far.

Once those virtual displays show text at any sort of angle the aliasing effects will be much higher too.

I think the tech might need to get to 8k+ before it starts feeling as good as "retina display" did when Apple launched that.
I worked at Apple during most of the golden Steve Jobs era. Back in the day, Apple was a fraction of its size, but Apple almost singlehandedly set the agenda for the computer industry. It's fascinating and sad to see Apple now chasing after industry trends, and at the same time being too big and heavy to pivot after the AR/VR/XR winds changed.

I can believe Apple Vision Pro will actually sell due to the novelty factor, and then Apple will get quiet about it. It'll take a few years it to find a niche, just like what happened with Apple Watch. shrug

With iPod and iPhone, Steve clearly loved music and hated the MP3 players and feature phones of the day. With Apple Watch, Jony was into luxury watches and fashion, and Tim is a fitness buff. Does anyone at Apple actually love VR goggles? Why the hell are they doing this, besides flexing their "only Apple can" muscles and, more probably, because the bean counters running Apple predict it will be a $B market?

As a friend put it: Apple has become a parody of itself.
Why weren't the CEO and the presenters were wearing it, if its so easy and natural to switch between immersive and real world?
I am not impressed so far. Yeah you have better display, but its not something a trend setter AR/VR headset would have looked like.
Hipporello – Trello Power-Ups to streamline business processes
Hello everyone, our product that we have been working on for a long time is now listed on Product Hunt. Trying it out and giving feedback would make me very happy.

https://www.producthunt.com/posts/trello-power-up-suite-by-h...
Unless there’s some radio wave danger, I don’t see how headsets could be harmful. Your eyes are not actually focusing on a close screen, they’re focused however far away the objects appear to be. Is there a danger to letting your eyes be unfocused and placing an iPhone right next to them (letting the screen be blurry, not trying to focus on it).

Maybe it’s the inner ear that is going to get hurt after prolonged disorientation, but astronauts should surely have that worse and I haven’t heard of any studies about it. Maybe something will show up about it.

I don’t see an obvious mechanism where this is harmful and VR headsets have been around long enough that this should be a well-understood safety space.
Is life just about "computation advantage" ?

I don't think this is "bad", but every single person this appeals to has already switched to a different JVM language or C#.
It's also somewhat of a break with tradition for Java and it's clear OOP inheritance.
