If it does not specifically exclude that use, then you can be assured that eventually that data will be used in training if it’s useful. If not now, then eventually. That goes for every company warehousing data on the planet.

This should be everyone’s base assumption, and should be basically accurate unless laws are put in place, but even then jurisdictional bypass may make them irrelevant for historical data and will only weakly protect new data.

> It seems unlikely that this is an accident.

> It appears that this spyware tracking feature was added by @vshcherb (Victor Shcherb) back in 2015 and has been leaking users' data and travel history (via client IP geolocation) to the OSMAnd index server ever since.

but to be honest there was a hidden tracking feature for many years and he only called it by its name and didn't get aggressive in any form.

The original author didn't acknowledge a problem and all his messages were hidden (or are it at least now) to logged out users. This doesn't seem like a healthy discussion, but I disagree that not the reporter, but the other users/developers seem to be aggressive. They deny any problem and don't appear to understand or care to understand the "allegations" brought forward.

He insinuates that this is a feature to track users and acts in this respect in "bad faith", but assuming the worst (it saved a unique identifier and time of use and ips...) which is understandable in this situation.

For everyone reading my reply until now, but didn't read the github thread - the issue is fixed and you can now disable the identifier in the settings.

Thanks for reading, sorry for the rant, have a nice day :)

If you implement stuff with AI for either school or a company, I'd get used to this kind of goalpost moving.

AIs currently beat "average" humans at just about every task, if done by itself. Multimodal models will do more, but they're for next year. But reading, writing, translating, talking, listening, controlling robots, designing proteins, modeling chemical reactions, driving, ... so currently it is fancy to compare AIs to absolute top human performance, while ignoring the problems even top performing humans have (such as needing to sleep, not knowing every language, cost, ...)

Do these converge upon a solution when you hit jumble?

(Edit)

From "Minkowski space"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minkowski_space :

> In 3-dimensional Euclidean space, the isometry group (the maps preserving the regular Euclidean distance) is the Euclidean group. It is generated by rotations, reflections and translations. When time is appended as a fourth dimension, the further transformations of translations in time and Lorentz boosts are added, and the group of all these transformations is called the Poincaré group. Minkowski's model follows special relativity where motion causes time dilation changing the scale applied to the frame in motion and shifts the phase of light.

> Spacetime is equipped with an indefinite non-degenerate bilinear form, variously called the Minkowski metric,[2] the Minkowski norm squared or Minkowski inner product depending on the context.[nb 2] The Minkowski inner product is defined so as to yield the spacetime interval between two events when given their coordinate difference vector as argument.[3] Equipped with this inner product, the mathematical model of spacetime is called Minkowski space. The group of transformations for Minkowski space that preserve the spacetime interval (as opposed to the spatial Euclidean distance) is the Poincaré group (as opposed to the isometry group).

But then how does Minkowski space help understand signals in spacetime with nonlocality and superfluid phases in deep space?

(Edit)

Q: Can a thing causally affect things outside of its light cone?

A: Yes because Nonlocal entanglement

Q: is Minkowski space wrong or inappropriate then? And, Are causal counterfactuals the same as constructor theory counterfactuals?
Presumably the Net would somehow require physical feedback in order to browse and participate. Or, the functionality would be available (but not required) and ICE would counter-hack the hacker and overpower his local hardware settings and enable the feedback.

A more contemporary example might be something like headphones: as far as I know, limits on sound output are software-based, not hardware. Theoretically a hacker could modify these software limits and output extremely loud sounds.

Very simple answer - they want to know everything you do online. As Google Maps is provided for free, you are the product. Convenience of the product (you) is not a priority whatsoever.

We're talking about densification. In a non-dense (e.g. American) city, everything is spread out, there's highways, so cars travel very fast. In a dense city like Copenhagen (and also here in Tokyo), there aren't many highways or cars so the traffic is mostly trucks traveling at low speeds.

Tire noise is negligible at very low speeds, but diesel engines are noisy. So in a dense city, you notice the noisy trucks with their clacking engines. In an American city, vehicles are whizzing by at 100+kph on multi-lane roads or highways, so you hear tire noise, even from a distance.

Making all the cars in America electric isn't going to do anything about highway noise. But making all the trucks in Tokyo electric would really make the roads here a lot quieter (and they're already pretty quiet, it just depends on where you go; places with lots of stores need trucks, whereas neighborhoods don't).

Slight newbie take here. I've just developed a personal webapp with python/flask/htmlx/tailwind. Its for my RPG group and its an interactive GUMSHOE character sheet with discord integrations through webhooks.

I used htmlx/hyperscript so I wouldnt have to get into JS - I find it a complete headache. Getting the balance between server-side and client side processing so its not a huge pain in my ass to debug also took a little bit of experimentation. But in the end I think I spend more time on styling the webpage with tailwind then on the htmlx/hyperscript which is a breeze to learn from scratch.

Indeed.

The whole point of the Secure Enclave is that it is the hardware root of trust. See the Apple Platform Security Guide[1].

The Secure Enclave also contains things like a UID (unique root cryptographic key) and GID (Device Group ID), both of which are fused at time of manufacturing and are not externally readable, not even through debugging interfaces such as JTAG.

As hardware root of trust the Secure Enclave is fundamental to all parts of device security, including secure boot and verifying that system software (sepOS) is verified and signed by Apple.

Apple put a lot of effort into Secure Enclave and hardware revisions have brought improvements as you might expect, so always be weary if you come across old presentations !

Labels like certification, graduation, etc. play a role only at the very first stage of recruitment. When someone lacking skills, time and/or attention is sifting through resumes. This is not the interesting part for jobs I imagine you 'd want.

Beyond that, as an interviewer I'd focus on motivation, attitude, intelligence and skills. Skills are important, but rarely does it matter where those skills were acquired.

I had a bizarre encounter when working there, also Maps related. I lived in the UK at the time and my post code just didn't exist in Google Maps. I did some digging, and found out that in fact no post codes in the UK had been added in quite some time.

Eventually I found out why: There was some lead dev on Maps, who refused to allow new imports of UK post code data because he thought they were "wrong". They were seeing data with multiple post codes for the same building!

For the record: This is valid in the UK, as there's a maximum number of households per post code or something like that.

Not sure how that ended eventually, left a few years ago, but I just checked and those post codes now exist.
TV Pickup (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_pickup) also leads to the political issue where one of the drivers of Brexit was that the 'EU' wanted to 'take away' traditional kettles because there was a proposal to embed a warm up cycle of a few seconds into the heating element so it didn't have spiky power consumption which caused very large amounts of simultaneous draw.

I've had it for a while, but I don't use it nearly enough. I still rely on Google Maps for most things, until Google Maps lets me down. Which it does mostly when I'm on vacation.

Although now that I think about it, Google Maps lets me down on vacation because I'm in unfamiliar territory and I have no idea how to correct for the mistakes it makes. When I'm at home (in Amsterdam) it makes plenty of mistakes too, but I'm familiar with them and the are, so I can easily correct for it.

For example, Google really dislikes the Sarphatistraat for some reason. It's a bike street: basically a gigantic bike path that also allows cars, but bikes have right of way. It's one of the most important bike thoroughfares in Amsterdam, so of course you should always take it. But for some reason, Google always prefers to send me along the Stadhouderskade, which is part of the centrumring for cars, one of the major car thoroughfares, parallel to the Sarphatistraat, and it does have a separate bike path, but you're still in car fumes. Also, it's slightly longer.

There are plenty of other bike routes it doesn't know. I should really try to get used to using Organic Maps on my bike from now on. It's excellent on bike and pedestrian infrastructure, including hiking trails, things to see, etc. Many years ago when I first learned about OSM, I was amazed about the level of detail I got when I zoomed in on Artis, the Amsterdam Zoo. You don't get that kind of detail on Google Maps. I really should use it more.
Yet performance is abysmal. I clicked on “API reference” and nothing happened for a second. Then the submenu opened in the sidebar. Another second later the content view updated. There is no indication of anything loading, there are no network requests to await. Incredibly, it’s dog slow on an M1 Mac.

If the viewport is 800 px or narrower, click on the menu icon (horizontal bars, top right), then click on a sidebar link. Do that a few times, you’ll notice it’s incredibly slow to react. Same with resizing the viewport, very sluggish.

Many organisms are sensitive to electrical charge, including types of spiders that use it to fly to distant locations. It’s possible that plants may use it as a signal of coming rain intensity?

I have noticed something quite interesting:
in my nursery, actual rain stimulates germination, leaf formation, flowering, and budding in a way that collected rainwater applied over identical timeframes in identical quantities using sprinklers that approximate rain drop physics fails to do. Well-water performs roughly the same as collected rainwater.

I’m speculating that there is some other signal present with actual rain that is lacking in the surrogate process. It could easily be electrical charge.

Reliable search is just generally hard to implement for OSM, as it's highly chaotic. There's no single schema forced upon everyone.
