Not a lawyer but I don’t think that matters. Twitter isn’t using the mark for a service about video games, inasmuch as nobody would describe Twitter in one sentence as “a messaging platform about video games” any more than they’d describe email or SMS that way.

You never know but I think this would be too far of a stretch to pose a real risk.
funny, I just rented an introductory book about signal processing and was (re) amazed to see how much the information is well explained, with tons of example, and a real plan to guide you in the ton of knowledge you have to master.

I for one welcome back our new library overlords.
What greatly fascinates me is that apparently no one in the advertising industry looks at all the effort that goes into subverting their rather invasive tracking and comes to the conclusion that maybe, just maybe, they've turned the tracking dials just a tad to far to the right.

There seems to be zero self-reflection from the advertising industry. They'll try to find ways around these new measures in Safari, rather than wonder why the hell someone is going to great lengths to prevent their tracking.

You see this on places like LinkedIn as well. People in the ad business have zero reflections on why companies like Apple do this or why the EU is trying to regulate their industry. It's always whining about how their right to do business is infringed. The entire online ad business just seems to be completely morally bankrupt.
I personally use copilot every day and I love it. It reduces the amount of typing I have to do, gives me lots of good suggestions for solving simple problems and has made working with unfamiliar languages so much easier.

This is crazy in-depth. Thank you for sharing!
This is (to my understanding) the difference between a character mark and a design mark. The Acura logo is a design mark. Acura don't, AFAIK (but I haven't searched because searching the USPTO for "A" sounds like hell) have a character mark on the letter A for use in cars. Consider the counterexample in the same industry: Honda and Hyundai both have H in a frame as a logo, and I have no knowledge of a trademark dispute between the two.

The X trademark in question appears to be a Service Mark[0], meaning it is a name to represent a service (in this case some kind of social media chat service). My understanding is that the trademark applies to competing services regardless of the artwork or logo, so the social media chat service formerly known as Twitter may have trouble avoiding a collision with it if they want to rename themselves X.

I think the microsoft gpt integration on Office is probably that app.

Ability to ask to have your email's summarised, or getting your excel sheets formulas configured with natural language, etc are increidbly useful tools to lower the floor of entry to tools that already speed up humans so much.

I don't think the use of this tools is some life redefining feature, but a friend of mine joked that in a year from now you will right a simple sentence like "write polite work email with following request: Come to the meeting, you are late" then Gpt will write the email, another gpt will send it and his GPT will sumarise it and he will reply with another gpt message instantly apologising that you will read the summary off. Leaving a trail of polite long messages that no one will even open.
It is great that everyone you know uses it but the traffic to ChatGPT is decreasing and has been for over two months now. If pointing this fact out makes me demented consider that perhaps you are emotionally invested in this new toy/brand.

I guess we can wait and see what kind of usage trends will emerge long term. My anecdotal evidence (which is not worth much, same as yours) is that many normies tried it a few times and it was a topic of conversation but is no longer mentioned much.
Memory training can happen if the CPU detects that current timings don't work at boot. Since GP never shuts down, it's possible that his memory is always hot and performs better on a reboot (when setting new timings) than after a cold boot (this is basically always true since ram chips like to be hot but especially relevant here). If GP is using XMP or has custom timings, I'd suggest easing off on them especially considering the novelty of DDR5.

I wish i could share your optimism that it is only extreme behavior that opposes the adoption of renewable technologies.

But we already have growing evidence that many new frictions show up and they are not obviously short-sighted.

E.g., land based wind-turbines might be on pristine hilltop locations, need access roads that might require deforestation. Geothermal units might create their own local pollution etc.

The gigantic scale of required alternatives if we are to maintain current energy use patterns will only increase tensions.

These are further compounded by the economic and control aspects of that transition (who benefits directly): eg building an installation that aims to serve datacenters and a global social media noise instead of powering the local community.

Much of what the “scientific” (being indeed pseudo-scientific in many ways) textbooks that we see from the young age present as fact are what is merely metaphors used in current physical models or predictions of those models—not at all statements of some absolute ground truth, yet presented as such.

Of course, there is more than one model, all of them evolve all the time, none of them are perfect (the map is never the territory), and none of them concern themselves with philosophy (a.k.a. unfalsifiable statements about what is “real reality” and the like).

This misrepresentation leads to all sorts of confusion (the quintessential example being light as waves vs. particles), physicalism-by-default (along with illusionism and determinism) as mainstream philosophical worldview among the STEM crowd, and perhaps even distrust to natural sciences among some others.

I blame it on the age-old patriarchal desire to appear a knowledgeable, reputable and indisputable authority to young students, and I’d wager that such people self-select for the job of writing and vetting textbooks.
There's a reason we don't do that anymore and it's that there's too much noise and it's easier to filter it out if you aggregate the data somewhere (bot traffic, scraping etc.). Sometimes you also don't really have access to HTTP server lots depending on where you deploy your frontend.

Are you aware that when someone abuses substances they usually have some underlying issue? Things like PTSD, bi-polar, etc. These people start using because their conditions are untreated, and they just want to feel normal. This of course escalates when they need to use more and more of the substance until before long they’re dependent.

It was always "permissionless publish", but it is worth remembering that it wasn't a free speech system (until alt.*) Each group had a manifest of rules.

I think that the issue was that the enforcement mechanisms were largely social, so they broke down when it grew too large, especially when ISPs and others started running servers without engaging in the community.

Reading more the VM* command sets definitely load/save more than just the normally visible registers, the descriptions in the AMD ASM manual are very explicit about that. However, it looks like (outside the encrypted guest case where everything is done in 1 command) the hyper visor still calls the typical XRSTOR for the float registers, which is no different than the normal OS case. If that's true then I can see how the register file is still contaminated in the non SMT case.
> I run all of my Apple devices in Lockdown Mode

Lockdown Mode breaks a lot of stuff in Safari. I wouldn't recommend it. The only purpose of Lockdown Mode is for high value targets who are in danger of targeted attacks, e.g., government officials, so if you're not one, then Lockdown Mode is not for you. It's not for normal users.

I'm on my 3rd hearing aid and unfortunately they haven't gotten much better for me in the past ten years, dispute the claims the technology has gotten so much better. I think it's because the signal processing challenges for single sided hearing loss is totally different for bilateral hearing loss. It's also a much smaller and there for under prioritized market segment.

It relied on large portions of AppKit/Cocoa ported to Windows though, and I don’t think Apple would be too keen to open source that too.

For it to make sense to open source Safari for Windows, they’d first have to pull out the AppKit bits and replace them with something else.
how is the M1 at all relevant? it's not even 3 years old and the cheapest configuration upon release was over $1k. you're comparing it to these Chromebooks that were $400 7 years ago! of course the Chromebooks, even at point of release, weren't very future proof.

If that's not possible, and we only have 1989-2023 data, then the 7.5 million year comment is particularly ridiculous, as is making any generalization with data for only 0.0001% of the time span in question.

> Won't people just start using randomized names?

No, the UTM parameters have been standard for almost twenty years and everything is built to follow them. The whole point of UTM parameters is to follow a user from site A to site B (on site A you can just track what links people click), so randomizing it won't work. It needs to be coordinated.

Some feedback from someone who recently built a very similar PoC invoice-generator[1].

1. I'd prefer to have it live-update an HTML view. When I stop typing, it shows what the invoice will look like (by approx.) instead of ending up with 15+ temp pdfs in my Downloads folder.

2. In the EU there's strict rules for invoices. E.g. on numbering, VAT inclusion and so on. Getting this right, is the hard part. A tool like this that works out-of-the-box for e.g. French Invoices or Dutch Invoice to EU company. Getting this right requires a lot of research and domain knowledge. Something that e.g. a French plumber or Dutch Webdesigner will not have.

3. The hard parts of invoicing is not generating the PDF. Nor filling in the blanks in a template[2]. The hard part is getting all the data for point 2 above and then tracking (paid, overdue, reminded, retracted) the invoices correctly. Most online bookkeeping already does all this. Integrated.

4. Including some VAT or Tax lines is a requirement in many (most?) jurisdictions. It now cannot handle it without some weird hacks (desc: "VAT 21%", amount: 1, price: "insert manually calculated number and don't forget to update it"). I understand and applaud not including these calculators. It's impossible to make this general; no software has done this properly; e.g. invoice-ninja requires the user to set this up, but still misses many use-cases/jurisdiction-requirements which then require hacks anyway.
But there should really be a way to include specialised line-items. Discount, VAT, WhateverTax, Travelling-costs. That can be in- or excluded from subtotal, but do add up to the total.

I send maybe 10 invoices each year, so I'm probably your target audience. But I am only allowed (by law) to use such a tool if its either flexible enough to make it fit my local requirements, or opiniated and tailored for these local requirements.
And for me, the real value would be in tracking these invoices (which most bookkeeping tools already do).

[1] my ultimate goal is to manage invoices in a web-base tool, have plain-text-accounting (beancount/ledger) as its "database" and PDF as export; something I'm now managing with a terrible hodge-podge of scripts, latex and whatnot. Where "manage" is to add medatadata&add line-items, then track them in overviews, and consolidate or book them accordingly.

Purely in theory.

Seriously. I have a Quest 2, sidequest and all, and the selection of actually good stuff is incredibly minimal.

I have a big picture theory about all of this; the experience of "computer entertainment" is FAR MORE STRONGLY rooted in "other humans" than many geeks would believe, and VR (oddly) hasn't really done much significant at all in that space.

For me and the family and people I know, first the Wii, and later the Steam Deck (esp with Jackbox games, that brings MY parents into the fold, and I'm in my 40s) has been SIGNIFICANTLY more impactful than an individual putting on a headset.
You're joking but still… that emoji is from Japan, where people use this sign to mean "not allowed" (だめ).
In this sense this is a major silver line from the pandemic that may have significant impact on the sustainability challenge.

We cannot unsee that a lot of work can be accomplished without pushing around the planet our clumsy bodies in massive exoskeletons.
It causes nausea for a lot of people. Plus alot of people don't want to move around after work.

I think a vr headset that puts people in the world but still lets them play with controller like settings would increase adoption a bit, however the nausea part is a big deal.
I thought about using something like this for my invoices, or even doing something on my own, but in reality I made an HTML page with a bunch of "contenteditable" attributes, edit it directly in the browser, sometimes fiddle in devtools to remove some things, and print as pdf. Somehow it feels wrong because my mother couldn't do that, but since I can it's actually the fastest way to get it done for me.

But anyway it's a nice tool for people who want to do something with little fuss. Some nitpicks:

* if I refresh the page, all the data is lost

* custom select boxes are ok, but the list of currencies is huge. in a normal select box I could just type "EUR" and it would select that option. Here I need to scroll for a long time.

* an annoying thing in general is tracking the invoice number. It would be nice if it would remember the last one. Of course there are all sorts of complexities here, like people have different "systems" on how it's called and how to increment

* my company is always the same, so it would be nice if this data was saved. Sorry if it already does, I didn't see it.

But thanks for sharing in any case.
