Don’t worry about it. Just make sure your product links back to YOUR site for lots of things so that the copycats are giving you free marketing. When you add product 2 that will help!

Also you could mention that people buying from the genuine site get product updates etc. Both on your site and in the product.
I'd say that's a pretty useless definition of agency, it's not clear why a thermostat wouldn't meet that low bar, and with that overly generous definition we now we need a new term "super agency" or whatever to talk about what other people mean by agency.
But if this is your threat model - that you have no trust of the operating system or the vendor - then all of this is pointless because at any time they can just backdoor themselves. Apple could just never ask or collect this, but still they're one update away from starting to collect it.

Of course that's always a threat with any computer, but you must place some amount of trust somewhere.
It's terrible :(

Bluetooth audio was a joke even before the update, and now it's almost unusable.

I never use this on Android really. If I look for a mail I search within outlook. And in fact emails in outlook don't show up in the global search, I just looked.

Same with contacts in the phone app. If I look for an app I just find the icon in the list because I don't have so many.

A global search is a cool feature for people who don't know where to look but it's not something that everyone would want.
To put numbers to it, according to google there's a gravity strength max discrepancy of 0.7% between the places with the lowest and highest gravity on the planet. Assuming using ~17g of beans for a coffee, that comes out to an error of up to 0.12g. Seems kind of dumb to correct for 0.12 grams, in the absolute most extreme case. If they just manufacturer calibrated the machine for "average" gravity then there'd be a max of +-0.35% difference in gravity, for a maximum error of +-0.06g for a 17g brew.
why not just use bc?

I watch a lot of sci-fi films and read a lot of sci-fi books - because I enjoy it when it's any good, so I don't need suspension of disbelief explained to me at all, thanks.

I personally found this specific film not deserving of being called a "great example" of anything. It's at best a plodding, uneven, middling example of something, IDK what. Yes, I know that your milage may vary, but this film's status baffles me and others https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39917027

If anything, calling parts of it "good" and other parts "original" is generous. Most of it is neither. Perhaps if you just haven't seen or read that much, then some of it appears novel and good?

It is not trying to be the same genre at all as Marvel or Star Wars fantasy films - some of which succeed on their own terms. Unlike "Sunshine". So that straw man distraction question is irrelevant.

Remember that this too ships a huge number of privileged binary blobs and kernel modules from companies like Qualcomm and Google in the vendor partition.

Chisel: A fast TCP/UDP tunnel over HTTP
The germans have been tinkering with policies mandating non-cloud dependent products for a while wondering if this is a start of it actually getting implemented on a large scale or if the delay attempts will remain successful elsewhere across the region.

If this is a start of an actual migration away from cloud dependence, it's a matter of time before windows(which is as cloud dependent as office those days for enterprise management features) itself is targeted, and the entire federation of germany changing from ms office formats to odf in practice could set some interesting balls in motions.

But as we have seen this before where a product is started and then sabotaged or delayed by lobbying and inertia from people who dont want to change how theyve always done things, it could be another one-off that dont set a trend.
> MoD transformers demonstrate the value of routing among different types of computations. In this work the types were either the conventional transformer block, or a null computation (functionally equivalent to multiplying by zero). However, one can imagine extending this idea further by routing between even more types of computation. For example, perhaps some tokens are routed to "memory lookup" functions, and others are routed to "tool use" functions.

This is one of the most interesting parts of the paper for me. It seems that this could be a much more efficient approach for tool use and math calculation.

“But when it comes to a junior militant, you don’t want to invest manpower and time in it,” he said. “In war, there is no time to incriminate every target. So you’re willing to take the margin of error of using artificial intelligence, risking collateral damage and civilians dying, and risking attacking by mistake, and to live with it.”

Oh, very noble of you to take on that risk, from that side of the bomb sight.

Or, maybe you can read first sentence:

Or even read source correctly:

It's not true: according to https://stat.gov.pl/files/gfx/portalinformacyjny/pl/defaulta...

To you they are irrelevant ads you never click.

To millions of small business they are the only viable way to reach their customers.

As tech focussed people we often ignore this or play it down. Facebook (as it’s the most used example) being blocked in a country or region (EU for example) would be devastating thousands/tens of thousands of businesses.

The usual reply is “those businesses shouldn’t be so reliant Facebook etc” which misses the point that these business only have a viable route to market thanks to these platforms.

Some of the most useful things I have bought have been thanks to “shitty Facebook and Instagram ads” including home gym equipment I use daily, DIY and wood working products, kitchen utensils, etc
It doesn’t scale because it’s inherently a flawed system. Predicting the next output sequentially over and over doesn’t allow for coherent decision making and planning.

It also lacks the ability to learn. You feed it a trillion pages of books, then if you want it to learn something new you have to train it again and risk destroying the old knowledge. A human brain doesn’t need a trillion pages.

We need a system that can learn in real time. If I’m talking to it, it should change its structure. It can never truly be intelligent if it’s stuck in 2022.

That is just not true.

I have not carried a phone or an Google/Apple controlled device in 3+ years and exclusively use FOSS on a personal basis.

Paper menus are available if you ask, sms can be converted to VoIP, you do not need Genie Plus to navigate Disney, there is always a way to pay with cash (or cash purchases gift card), paper tickets still work fine everywhere, your bank actually cannot force you to use an app, and internet comments and notifications can wait until you are back home at your desk.

Sure, it is a bit like having a dietary restriction, but it is not the life fulfillment blocker everyone makes you think it is.
If they manage to do the training and onboarding within 4 hours then that may worth it (considering minimal hourly rate 12.41 euro per hour). That doesn't look realistic.
This, as an Italian I often cook rigatoni with zafferano and sausage, which is a variation on the popular saffron risotto from the north.

The way I cook it, for two people, is to put a very small amount (I guess it's around 0.1 grams or so, not much more) in a small espresso cup with a small amount of very hot water.

The saffron quickly dissolves in it, and you can then throw the water with saffron in the pasta, add some grated cheese (generally parmigiano or grana) and the sausages pieces and it's delicious.

The saffron makes a lot of difference.

It is wild but not entirely for the reasons someone might think.

I think everyone knows that a good part of the Apple app ecosystem relies on syncing data. I don't think anyone is surprised that a daemon is syncing your photos between your devices/cloud. Add podcasts, ePubs, etc. and you're going to have a busy network on your device. It's a reason in fact I use the cloud, sign in with my Apple ID. I can lose my machine but not my documents.

Maybe the thing that is more along the lines of what you're suggesting though is the network traffic that is seemingly less useful to the user (but useful to Apple). Various frameworks have appeared on the OS that allow apps to share analytics (pretty sure though these are the analytics that you are asked if you want to opt out of on an install/setup).

But because it has become so easy to do (in part because there is a framework to handle it, but also just the ubiquity of the presence of a network) lots of, I think, dumb data is collected to no doubt satisfy management/design as to whether some feature of an app is being used or is not being discovered.

The ubiquity as I say has made it too darn tempting for all parties (Apple and 3rd) to become lazy about how their apps are being used and to become too data hungry themselves.

I had someone recently ask me how I get feedback from my blog posts since there is no comment section, no analytics .... they wondered why I bother blogging at all.

I have never, ever seen saffron below 5 euros per gram in Europe. Ever. ISO 1 Saffron is no less than 10 euros per gram. If it's less it's not pure and it contains other parts of the flower or worse it has been cut with something.

And that's for basic iranian saffron.

Quality italian/spanish one (strong in crocin content) is at least 30 euros per gram.

Pretty sure even with virtual memory (which was actually added sometime in the System 7 days), you still could manually set the minimum and desired memory sizes for each app. Maybe it made less of a difference than it used to, but I still remember tweaking those values for certain apps (like trying to open a large file in Photoshop) even after MacOS 8 and 9 were out. MacOS X was a breath of fresh air by comparison.

In 2024, the tech landscape is witnessing a profound shift towards Ethical and Responsible AI within software development.

No, they didn't. That happened for example in Munich. But that is on the other side of Germany. And there is already a joke that MS can't move their german headquarters every time a state or big city want's to move away from MS products.

The reason AI will quickly replace programmers is because of one major reason that many do not consider: AI allows you to build entirely new types of applications which will not require the same software patterns we use today. In fact, using AI, you can create software without 'code' (in the traditional sense). Until you start building genai apps and see the new paradigms at work, it will be difficult to perceive.

It’s directly relevant to the linked article in the comment I was responding to, which uses the IDFs reported Palestinian civilian to soldier death ratio to claim that Israel’s military actions are uniquely humane. That conclusion is challenged by a showing that Hamas’s achieved Israeli civilian:soldier death ratio.

The question I’m implicitly raising is why would one be worse than the other?

In fact, Israel is counting every adult male as Hamas in their death counts. If we were to use “IDF rules” and count every adult male victim of the Oct 7th attack as a “soldier” (a claim made by Hamas, bolstered by the fact that almost military service is required of most Jews in Israel), then the ratio would be less than 2:1.
Those policies were all put in place scant years before they started being repealed. It wasn't until LBJ that social benefits were passed en mass.

That they were targeted deliberately is obvious, survivors of the first bomb staggered to the second car which was then bombed, and so to the third. They were hunted and slaughtered like animals. Whether it was authorised is another matter, we will discover that from the response to requests for extradition of those responsible.
I'll admit that I wasn't talking about potential green-field sites not linked to rivers or existing reservoirs, as described in your link. How many of the sites they identified as viable with their algorithm would actually be economically, socially and environmentally viable is a big question though. Not saying some of these sites can come to fruition, but for sure the capex and lead time for this kind of projects is huge.

It was mainly in Munich and more about Linux in general and Bill Gates personally intervened. The next government rolled back to MS.

And no, data sovereignity means more than money, but it might cost more money in the end. There were quite some problems, but those could have been resolved. But not for free.
