How does the 'Swift Translate' app send Instagram DMs?
0

I recently discovered the 'Swift Translate' app and was intrigued by its ability to send Instagram direct messages (DMs). I'm curious to know if anyone has insights into the specific API or method that the app utilizes to achieve this functionality. Is there a way to find out which API the app is using for sending Instagram DMs? Any information or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I'm also curious if it's possible to use overlay drawing technology on top of other apps to compose text within Instagram's text view and press the send button

Thank you!

What I attempted to do was research Facebook API-related information, and what I was expecting to find was that Facebook currently provides API options for businesses to send DMs from their accounts to their own accounts. However, it's quite unusual to see an application like 'Swift Translate' sending DMs without requiring specific permissions.

My girlfriend's Pixel 4a can transfer about 4x USB2's real world maximum. Just tested it.

Nah. I use an XT-4, and while it's certainly a better camera, it's quite easy to take a worse photo with it than with a new iPhone.

Yes low light perf is better with a camera, sharpness too. But unless you use HDR bracketing you're DR limited in a lot of every day situations that the general public will be disappointed with. Blown out highlights or indistinguishable shadows. The iPhone or other high end phone will stitch multiple photos with HDR automatically. People prefer that.

Auto-focus is generally not as good as with iPhones either. The amount of computational power in the SoC dwarfs modern cameras, and while you can get very good auto-focus, you've never heard of any iPhone user complain about the camera not focusing on the right subject.

Still, wouldn't trade the XT-4 at all. It's ceiling is vastly higher than any phone camera if you know what you're doing and understand the limitations.

>Right morality maps itself to reality... buuuut man believing irrational things is also 'one such' reality

How so? The fact that man believes in irrational things is a reality...How is that controversial? It is real that most of my family actually believes in a physical hell. Yes, in their mind, they actually believe that a fiery hall of flame actually exists somewhere and people will suffer in eternity, for ever and ever and ever and ever, with increasingly harsher suffering until...well, there's no until, it just goes on and on.

What modern western people refuses to accept is that people actually do believe this things. Its not just a coping mechanism for retribution or something crap like that. When people tell you, "we believe in X because Y says so". They actually do believe in that. They think that there's an actual Y that comes down to Earth and wrote those Xs.

And the fact that apes are prone to believe such a thing is also a reality. That is not to say that what they believe is real, just that their tendency is real. And this kind of belief have consequence. If they actually think that Y wrote down those Xs, and given that Y is omnipotent, well surely Xs is some divine scripture that we must follow?

A universe in which the scripture says that one should enter a house with the left foot vs the right foot is an entirely difference universe. If such benign belief could yield so much difference, why wouldn't everything else?

Saying that, I can completely willing to accept that human (or apes) need to have _some_ belief. That evolution have crafted us to rely on some belief that is believed at some societal level to operate and function. I am willing to accept that yet that doesn't mean that any of the beliefs are right.

Reconciling hypothetical scenarios with ideological positions seems like a job for an LLM, as it's not really an interesting exercise.

The consequential case is the strategy you use when you are in opposition, and the retributive case is the strategy you use when you are in power. The reason is that when you are in power, you don't need to prevent crime any more than is strictly necessary for you to maintain office - so catching a few here and there and restricting retributive punishment to them only is sufficient to keep your end of the bargain, but retributive justice doesn't involve you in too much complexity or commitment.

When you are an insurgent or faction, crime prevention is something you can promise to the coalitions who can swap you into power, and so imposing costs on criminals via decimation and grisly public examples is economical, mostly because the state isn't going to step in to protect them either. The economics of insurgent death squads are favorably quite cost effective and win-win, and they only become a political problem when they become too popular. Incumbent death squads just waste political capital and foment overthrow, so they're really only for kleptocrats who have an escape plan to another country, imo.

Interesting to think about how many pieces are almost in place for this. The two big players in game engines have had a huge iOS presence for years, just for a different segment of the gaming market; PC game developers have had a few years now to optimize titles for the constraints of the Steam Deck; Apple's game porting toolkit was just announced this past WWDC…

If Valve gets the opportunity to gain a foothold on iOS, the landscape could change very quickly.

64% are living paycheck to paycheck, now whether they opt to get a new smartphone or not is not clear.

What is clear is the statistics you linked and I could find were polls of either people buying a new phone, which would be structurally biased towards people who are buying phones make frequently and are not buying used phones, or they were surveys of people with some relationship with a mobile or tech related site or product. These don’t seem like very unbiased surveys - but they do seem like sources apple or a phone maker would care about. “Of the people we care about in our marketing, they buy every 2-3 years.” I know in my family my wife’s family inherits our old phones and would ever show up in such a poll, nor do people buying off eBay, or even used from Amazon, etc.

Maybe a single mom working three jobs to raise their five children really does feel compelled to have the newest iPhones and puts her kids needs behind a high resolution screen, but I somehow believe she’s just not counted in market surveys of phone buyers.

Regardless the average isn’t 99%.
Have they handed their tech to china yet like Zero moto? Guess how to have your designs mass produced and poorly copied in one fell step.
Yep that's how it works. A 2.76tn company should be able to innovate and make a phone 2x better than a 1.38tn company.

Do family punishments deter criminals enough that there's a net positive after sacrificing the innocent family members? (I assume no studies have been done)

Punishing a family inflicts definite harm on innocent people, for the chance to inflict less harm on society. This happens every time a family is punished, punishing one criminal's family wouldn't have much influence, so that is a lot of innocent sacrifices. Therefore you'd need a substantial amount of would-be criminals who don't care about their own suffering enough to be deterred, but do care about their family's. "substantial", "criminals", "don't care about their own suffering...but do care about their family's"...doesn't seem likely to me.

In contrast, I'm going by the reasoning that criminal's intrinsic value is much lower than an innocent person (although they still have value). So even if many criminals are punished and the deterrence only saves a few innocents, it's still worth it to punish criminals themselves. If many innocents are punished, the deterrence has to save many more innocents; there's a good argument that that's unlikely, which means consequentialism actually does have a good argument against punishing families.
> Its AMAZING that it seems like 99% of average people are convinced that they can taste the difference between red and white wine

I'm not sure what sort of high-quality wine you drink, cause I drink cheap stuff, and I can 100% tell the difference between a pinot noir and pinot grigio.

Red vs. white isn't a coke vs pepsi thing, it's a coke vs mountain dew.
This is all possibly but it works to a limited extent; there are taste descriptors of aged wines, for example, that are impossible to imitate cheaply.

All winemakers are capable of designing wines to a broad set of possible tastes with remarkably latitude, but money gets you way more options.
> No, you still didn't get it. In the example above, a full 100% of positive results, 20 out of every 20, are the result of chance and not causality.

Yep, you're right. I do think I understand this, but rendering it into words is turning out to be surprisingly challenging.

Let me try this one more time: p=0.05 means that there is a 5% chance that any one particular positive result is due to chance. If you test a false hypothesis repeatedly, or test multiple false hypotheses, then 5% of the time you will get false positives (at p=0.05).

However...

> Imagine a hypothetical scientist that is fundamentally confused about something important, so all hypotheses they generate are false. Yet, using p=0.05, 5% of those hypotheses will be "confirmed experimentally". In that case, it is not 5% of the "experimentally confirmed" hypotheses that are wrong -- it is full 100%.

This is not wrong, but it's a little misleading because you are presuming that all of the hypotheses being tested are false. If we're testing a hypothesis it's generally because we don't know whether or not it's true; we're trying to find out. That's why it's important to think of a positive result not as "confirmed experimentally" but rather as "not ruled out by this particular experimental result". It is only after failing to rule something out by multiple experiments that we can start to call it "confirmed". And nothing is ever 100% confirmed -- at best it is "not ruled out by the evidence so far".

> The thing is, it doesn't seem to me like this precludes punishing family members for a better result.

Correct. The "system" if you can even call it that is not stemming coherently from any moral foundations.

1 and 2 are the same. To say a wrongdoer deserves punishment is to say it's good to punish. Deserves is language of morality. 3 is completely unrelated.

This article is nonsense.

Also from the article:

> My challenge for readers: Propose any alternative to retributivism that precludes family punishment.

I'm sorry but that is hilarious. Here's one off the top of my head, having literally never thought about this before.

1. Punishing the innocent is wrong.

2. Literally any ideas at all about crime and punishment that don't violate point 1.

That passes the author's sniff test anyway. Is there a bounty for such a challenge?

> That’s right, I think that inflicting suffering on vicious wrong-doers is morally praiseworthy even in the absence of any deterrent effect. Deterrence is a happy byproduct, but the fundamental point of punishment is to balance the scales of justice.

This is caveman levels of moral justification. What does it mean to balance the scales? If somebody is maimed, and we maim the maimer, does that count?

The first act worsened the victims life and the second act did nothing to help them. Doesn't feel like the scales are tipping correctly. It doesn't even seem that using analogies about scales is even useful to the conversation. It's almost like the issue is really complex and can't be summed up as a system in 2.5 bullet points by way of measuring scales.
I think his example is more like this:

A nail gun shoots a nail through your foot. You go to the hospital and the nail is removed, but the pain remains.

There's nothing wrong with your opioid receptors: the pain you feel doesn't result from some kind of imbalance in them. It's 'valid' pain - no malfunction there - telling you that your foot is in a bad way.

When they give you opioids for this, it's not treating the core problem, at all (no problem w/the receptors). Yet it's still helpful, and does good, because it's dulling the overwhelming and excessive amount of pain you would otherwise be feeling.
That's my point, the connector dying is a big deal, so planned obsolescence is easier with usb-c!

They should have just included a usb-c adapter. Unlike PC peripherals, phone chargers get plugged/unplugged many times every day. It's very easy with android phones for the connector stick thingy on the phone to get loose or damaged.

This feels like a government sponsored enshitification.

Why can't people just get android and let apple be. Why do some people get to force consumer standards other consumers don't like. Android can run on any type id purpose built mobile device.

Torque is directly proportional to radius, all other factors being equal. There are practical limits on the strength of the magnetic force because you can only cram so many amps through a confined space, which is even more confined on a small motor.

It will still make high power at high RPMs, but you have to gear it down to convert that power into more torque at low speeds. A gearbox makes it not really a Hub Motor at all any more. Terminology aside, a gearbox also adds even more weight and complexity inside the wheel. For less weight and complexity you can use a half-shaft to the center of the vehicle and use whatever motor you want inboard.
I'm not sure where I fall in any of this. That said, two things stuck out to me:

First, and less importantly, I think "dire hypothetical" is a bad phrase for the Baby Hitler thought experiment. I suspect dire is used as a synonym for "presaging" rather than "extreme". The only point of the Baby Hitler example is to examine the philosophy under entirely unrealistic circumstances: what if we had perfect knowledge about the future? It is intended to emotionally prejudice people, typically towards ends-based philosophies.

The author concedes the imaginary hypothetical, but only those hypotheticals with unreal perfect knowledge. At that point, you could say that yes, the sky is green, but only in hypothetical worlds with green skies.

As for the rest, it is essentially the classic means versus ends debate.

Punishment of wrong doing as an intrinsic good, rather than as a deterrent, should obviously preclude punishing family members- if we were to also postulate that punishing wrongdoing is good, then punishing innocence is intrinsically wrong. Punishment itself would be wrongdoing.

Basically, this boils down to a simple means versus ends debate; "preventative" punishment cares only about results, while the author only cares that the "means" (the act) punishment is morally right.
Yes, the width of the platforms is basically 'tech debt' in physical form.

Most of the layout of Penn Station is historical to its original construction (the destruction of Penn Station destroyed the hall, but the corridors below it are still there.) In the 1910s when Penn Station was built, commuting by railroad was miniscule and the future suburbs of New Jersey were still just woods and farms. So the layout gave large, wide platforms to the central tracks that hosted intercity trains, and narrow platforms to the commuter tracks that can barely host the width of a single escalator. This is a liability in 2023, because the share is overwhelmingly commuter traffic.

Through run trains also have a problem with this, because if we implemented through running, today, the platforms would not adequately clear before the next train arrived, creating crowd crush on the platforms. The station is also fully at capacity, so there isn't really a way to expand the platforms to allow through running that wouldn't cut Penn Station's capacity for the next few years, if not a decade. (To give some perspective, the Japanese do projects fairly well, and Shibuya Station reorganization/widening started in 2015 and has stuff to do until 2027.) The current plan to maybe get a start on widening the existing platforms is to demolish a block of Manhattan to build new platforms to take the load while the existing ones can go out of service. Funding to take a block of the most expensive real estate in the world is unclear.

> That’s right, I think that inflicting suffering on vicious wrong-doers is morally praiseworthy even in the absence of any deterrent effect.

Aside from the morals, it's essentially for a functioning society. The intrinsic urge to harm someone that has harmed you can't be allowed to happen. The state has to have a monopoly on violence to function.

If you are not allowed to inflict suffering on people that have wronged you, the state has to.

If the state doesn't, a large enough portion of people will do it themselves, and the state loses legitimacy.
