Golden rice want IP protected - it was part of the deal that targeted use was not too be encumbered.

The biggest "IP protections" on golden rice came from... Greenpeace and other anti-GMO activists - who wanted prevention against "accidental contamination" of non-gmo with gmo.
Ok something is really wrong with my brain. I read this as "Poopover API", and it keeps on happening throughout the comments -.-
Sure but they also don't have a profit margin of like 800%. And there's power consumption to think about.

I expect it's about control and Apple's philosophy that they have to do everything themselves.
You still have a lot of people walking around on this Earth from the "640 kb ought to be enough for anybody" era and beyond, which means we're at well over 43 years of kilobytes = 1024 bytes.

That is an awful lot of inertia, particularly when this problem was mostly just caused by disk manufacturers "rounding up(?)" to 1000 bytes for advertising purposes. Before that abuse everyone could communicate perfectly fine, even though it probably made a certain kind of pedant annoyed.
They're of similar construction, and it's categorically false that the 737 classic had a maximum 20 year lifespan or they're living on borrowed time after that.

They're routinely operated as cargo aircraft in the United States, just like many other older jet aircraft (for reasons of operating economics, not safety)
Good point, young people just out of college who have lived off of their parents and the government for a quarter of a century might get upset about having to support non-productive people.
Yeah, I agree that it should be advertised differently, stressing the obvious WIP aspect.
I guess the idea is just to show that the seed for a proper C/C++ API is there, and ready to be developed further for whenever a customer requires it.
Out of curiosity, what is your use case?
You're reading tea leaves now. Meanwhile Apple has actually measurable problems like plummeting iPhone sales in China, and I guarantee that's not because of a stupid ad.
You know when you see someone getting hurt, like slipping on ice and smacking their head?

You can almost feel that pain reverb in your body, in a weird way.

I felt the same when I saw the ad. It's awful.

When my dad was a kid, black Americans couldn't use the same water fountain as whites; it's not exactly ancient history. My grandparents wouldn't share rooms with black people at their nursing homes, and I'm talking about a couple years ago. It didn't all end because LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act. At some point I think it might have been better when it was all out in the open, so at least you knew what was going on.
> There's a real element of media literacy (or lack thereof) that we have to consider in this issue. What was the intent of the media?

You cannot ignore the impact of artistic decisions and processes when considering a piece of work, and calling that a "lack of media literacy" is grossly oversimplifying artistic analysis. Intent is important, but so is the impact on the audience. Art is a conversation between artist and audience, and as pointed out by the article and the other comments here in the thread, the message missed for a significant percentage of the audience.
It has the vibe of something made by a team who have never created only for the pure love of art.
>It feels like this is the turning point when corporate social media giants found out that anger/depression are the easiest ways to increase engagement.

Rush Limbaugh figured this out in the 80s. He made lots of money and everyone followed suit.
Redtrack.io – Track. Attribute. Automate. Scale ROI
RedTrack is the leading ad tracking, attribution & automation platform, helping top media buying teams around the world get higher ROI from their campaigns. The platform uses machine learning and AI technologies to allow users to track conversions and revenue in real time, making 100% accurate attribution. We send conversion and revenue data automatically via pre-built CAPI integrations with major traffic sources like FB, TikTok, Google Ads, Bing (and others). On top of that, media buyers get 5-minute cost updates at a flat fee and use smart rules to scale winning ads and automated campaign management.
I have to deal with this same issue on a daily basis. I agree with others that you have to make the documentation task part of the process.

I have Confluence templates for business requirement documents and technical specification documents. These always get jira tasks for any new project.

It is always a challenge to get the business side to write proper requirements. This is where a good business analyst can come in.

In lieu of that, I think having a developer gather requirements in the form of use cases and documenting them with the Gherkin format is tradeoff I will accept. These use cases as acceptance tests can easily sit in a text file along with the code.
I suggest following the thousands of drone videos that continue to come out of the conflict. They contradict much of this analysis.

Small and medium drones are much more precise than artillery and remain incredibly effective at surveillance, spotting and at attacking the poorly operated, low survivability armor that Russians have, despite countermeasures. Ukraine is now domestically mass-producing bomber UAVs able to deliver multiple mortar rounds semi-autonomously on a target. While ECMs (jammers) have undoubtedly reduced drone effectiveness, ECMs come at a cost. A small ECM will have a very localized effect, while a large ECM can be taken out with anti-radiation missiles, as the Ukrainians have been doing.

Everyone is also recognizing the huge psychological effect of drones in the battlefield now. Any kind of massing is getting increasingly risky, communications, autonomy and mobility become critical.

The main point of the article is that the war is driving innovation in drones, which is pretty self-evident and doesn't seem overstated at all.
If Apple is going to build servers, it sure would be nice if they went the extra half-step to also sell them so people could stop with the weird rack-mounted mac minis. I guess https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/mac-pro/rack is a step towards that, but "real" server hardware would be better.
Yes, my account is from 2008. I don't think it felt like a "mass exodus" from the site at that point though, way different to what happened after the Elon take-over or briefly when "App.net" was launched as an alternative.
Haven't heard of this before, seems very useful!

God I wish there was something like this for mobile apps, though. Or a website running on the user's mobile device browser. I know Firefox Android does support extensions, but most people on Android use Chrome. And I think on iOS the browser extension situation was miserable the last time I read about it. Either way, an app would probably be the best way to do it.

Racism in the US is less to do with the people who moved there and more to do with the people who were taken there.

The USA was an apartheid country in the Jim Crow era. What could be more racist than segregation?

Jim Crow apartheid was so deeply pervasive that WW2 soldiers blood transfusion packets were segregated, so a stricken white soldier wouldn't be tarnished with black blood. That's quite something when you're fighting against the Nazis.
Looking at the size of that rig, "Shot on iPhone" is super misleading. Might as well use any modern FF body without the need to "rent" a specialized Panavision rig.

Edit: because it apparently needs explaining: "that rig is so big yet comes with so many limitations that it's foolish to not just use any normal camera body"

No! This is a terrible, terrible idea. At best you can have the LLM generate minor variations of the nothings they say.

1) you need to be able to ensure that the characters don’t hallucinate new details. No big deal.

2) you need to be able to ensure that the characters don’t suggest they can or will do anything that they can’t do. For NPCs, this is typically literally nothing. They can’t do anything. It’s actually way worse for realism and immersion if every character has a unique reason why they can’t do anything than every single guard citing their arrow to the knee and leaving it at that.

3) NPCs for story reasons often should know something but don’t tell you it. It’s very difficult to execute any sort of story flow if your characters are suddenly free agents. At best they merely lack self consistency. Stories are not going to become better if you can meta game them as genre savvy speculators.

4) NPCs with irrelevant backstories are very dull. They are absolutely annoying to talk to. We have these in DND. And you may say “hey, I loved my DND NPC”, but that character probably started to become very important as consistent because of the DM’s attention. Which is cool for DND, but it’s not cool for a structured game.

Like, would Harry Potter be a better experience if you could personally grill dumbledore for information in the middle of the first book? I think 100% no.

Dumb NPCs are an aspect of the suspension of disbelief of game writing. And it largely works. Asking for LLM agents is like asking to remove the need for the suspension of disbelief. But most narratives are too fragile for this to happen.

Narratives generally follow a flow that ultimately concludes after a climax. If you give players more agency the most likely outcome is that they follow a path that does not hit the climax.
You know I think you have interesting arguments, but at the same time I feel like somehow you are just very anti web components, and want to break them down. I understand you're issues with it, but I also think that implementing web standards is a different thing from a framework, in the sense that you shouldn't break current standards. I believe the committees of the creation of the standards spend a lot of time to come to consensuses. That is not easy with the web today. So these standards evolve very slowly and take many iterations to become mainstream in a world that is already used to the common frameworks. And I think that for most new projects it's still a sensible choice to go for the common frameworks.

But at the same time I also feel like we should be engaged in a positive way with making certain patterns more integrated with the browser, so that the web basically becomes more native. And that can be implemented as a new possibility alongside the common frameworks. And those frameworks can even adapt to it.

You seem to know a lot about and be very engaged with this subject. Maybe instead of breaking it down you could help make it better? I'm personally not involved with the web component development, but I find their ideas interesting and worthwhile exploring. Web standards evolve slow but stay long. It's good to know what's coming.

> which is to not handle geriatric care well at all

There is a recent Japanese Sci-Fi movie that came out at Cannes recently called Plan 75 [0] that touches on that option

Ofc, Japan is a democracy and old people vote.

Even if the LDP ruled for much of Japan's democratic history, it's still vulnerable to losing power due to public anger (eg. Kishida's corruption scandal).

Imagine how angrier Japanese voters would be with horrible geriatric care.

>However, the fact that destruction was used is disrespectful to those items nevertheless. After all, the items were produced from metals unsustainably extracted from the earth, and are a gift to us borne from the pain of the planet.

Nobody complained when Christopher Nolan crashed a Boeing 747 into a building and then blew it up, all for a movie. Arguably that's worse than whatever was destroyed in Apple's ad. What's the reason for the discrepancy?

It might be, but at least the offending site can be taken care of by closing a single tab.

The part that sucked about old style popups is that they leaked into and on occasion would hijack (in the case of popup chains) your OS’ windowing system and at best make a mess of things or at worst turn your computer unusable.
This looks incredible. Congrats on launching this.
> If you don't like waste, wash your plastic yogurt cups and reuse them as cereal bowls.

Disingenuous prick.
By that reasoning, though, we can claim that the earth counts to 364 as it orbits the sun. Or that women's bodies count roughly to 9 as they make a baby. These are ways that we model those things, but that is not what is happening.

Most people learn to build lists through mimicry. They literally mimic the lists they were taught they need to build to go to the store. With enough experience, many of us learn to build our own lists from other principals, but it almost all starts with mimicry and simulation. Is why "going shopping" is such a fun game for kids. They are learning.

None of which is to say that you can't make your thinking better with logic. You almost certainly can. But you are begging the question with your examples and explanations. Heavily.
Hopefully they won’t be the absolute waste of time as a company that they have been on the web standards working groups. Hard to trust them at this point in any collaborative sense.
What an impoverished take on reality.
this is an extremely bad take.

Signal is a very open company and the protocol has had extensive scrutiny, and has a history of making good choices, like minimising the data they hold and defaulting to E2EE, as well as being hated by approximately all governments.

Telegram is extremely opaque, deliberately conflates various security things, doesn't default to encrypting anything, doesn't support encrypted group chats, has been hacked several times, and is extremely tolerated by very repressive regimes.

The Outrage Is Warranted
Amazing how many people have strong feelings about an Ad about the iPad.
1. Children are not tabulae rasae, they have previous optimization of their brains via evolution such that they are much more predisposed to visual and other human tasks than computers. On the other hand, computers are tabulae rasae such that they are essentially blind and have no optimization until you train them.

2. Children see many more data points than computers, thousands of hours of lived experience from which they can learn, of not just the visual world but the auditory and other sensory worlds.

Essentially, you are comparing something that is ~80% trained and then training it on billions of data points to something that is 0% trained and then training it on still images of only two dimensions and asking why the former is much better.
Yes, I had the same question! (`spf` for the curious!)

EDIT: To be fair, right at the beginning of the tutorial is:

> First, if you want to open superfile by opening a terminal and typing spf.
A technology company that loves the arts and shows it by paternalistically crushing all of its implements and saying “trust us this iPad is better than your heirloom piano or silly books.”

Right on trend. They might love it, but they don’t understand it, and per the last 20 years love unemploying it.
Exploring the Extractive Capabilities of Large Language Models
On #1, people were very well aware of it already. All this ad does is making them reconsider the company's intent and see it as an enemy trying to destroy the services, instead of a friend making them easier to get.

On #2, it doesn't do that very well. For a start, the press never smashes the tablet itself.

This commercial is very well done with the purpose of making people revolt. Every element is perfect. I wonder if there was some miscommunication and the authors expected the scenes to be used in a different way.
Thank you for pointing this out. It's a good start, but I was looking for a deeper answer.

So please help me understand why the people I work for are making shitloads of money? Why is Twitter worth $ 44b?

Asking why here is mostly meant rhetorically. What I'm really after is figuring out if there's a way to restructure society such that monetary rewards are directed towards what's valuable to society. IMO, streaming video and social networks aren't that.
Now they will realize 8gb won’t cut it
It's still better to use a minimalist OS with a browser than a bloated OS with a browser.

Because it will utterly end all societal development.

Imagine if fucking Ghengis Khan never had to die.

Or Henry Kissinger.

Or Carnegie

Our system is struggling under the immense weight of old leaders and the best they can do is pump themselves full of weird drug cocktails to have some semblance of being alive. Imagine removing the last roadblock to eternal life for the richest human alive.
> There are two seemingly irreconcilable camps at this point as to whether X itself is fundamentally sound technology for remote display or any kind of display technology going into the future.

Are there? I don't think anyone seriously thinks X is the way forward do they? They just don't like some of Wayland's poor choices, which I think is fair.
> The emperor of "Byzantium" literally was the emperor of the Roman empire; it was not merely a claim like in the other cases but an administrative and historical fact.

Not in any useful sense.

Cyrus the Great was literally the King of Sumer and Akkad. Did he know where Akkad was?

Tsai Ing-wen is literally the President of China. You might object that China doesn't even have a president, but the administrative and historical facts are against you.
That's awesome. So happy for her and all the others like her who now have hope.

Anyone who understands the treatment, do you know if the reverse is possible too? I have hyperacusis and could benefit from deafening, esp if it's easily reversible.

The best we have now is disrupting the ossicular chain. Other than surgical risks, it's not fully reversible.

This thread seems to be about the Citizens United ruling that happened during the George W. Bush administration. He nominated 2 justices, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito. Congress confirmed them. There were 7 other justices from previous administrations that he had zero influence on.
I had that backwards, perhaps they took inspiration from you :)

Is AI lying to me? Scientists warn of growing capacity for deception
It's not misleading.

iPhone has a lot of things that other bodies won't have. A chip powerful enough to do on-device editing, a top-tier calibrated OLED screen with 1600 nits HDR brightness, an extensive suite of apps, on-board AI, etc etc.

I think it's really cool to see these devices become even more capable.
What fears are now warranted?
>How many people needed to green light this - even at the concept stage? 20? 50?

>At least one of them had to raise this as an issue across all that time, yet it was their best idea of all proposed ideas.

Or maybe it was approved by 50 well adjusted people who didn't get irrationally mad at such ads, and it's a bunch of chronically online commentators who are blowing it out of proportion?
Don't care. M3.5 in and ipad of all things is a waste
But your own sentence makes the exact comparison the article wants: if the end result is all the same, then the iPhone is providing a good enough experience to do this kind of work.

Yes other rigs might make more sense, but that’s not the point. The point is that they’re putting their money where their mouth is, and proving that it’s capable enough.
Out of curiosity why cant it run macOS?

Coincidentally I just installed Windows 7 on an old ThinkPad from 2009 today. Nice to see some jokes from that era too!
Shooting on any FF body is totally missing the point. What in the world are you getting at?

Regardless of what you are thinking, the "not a full frame sensor" in the phone is kind of the point. As well as all of the "AI" processing done to the photons captured by whatever piece of glass is in front of it. It's this processing that makes the phone they are showcasing different than an "modern FF body" that you are suggesting.

You've clearly missed the point

To be clear, I don't think the ad itself is the issue, I think this is pretty benign given their scale.

But I think they have a leadership problem. Tim Cook is a glorified bean counter, not a creator, not a visionary, and it shows.

I know that most people are looking at the stock and will say that everything is fine. Sure. I am looking at the products, and except for M series of SoC, this is all boring.
Your question is why do they bring a compact piano to the tiny desk concert?
The attempt to stave off criticism with, "So is it fair to say “Let Loose” was “Shot on iPhone” if it was done with the help of gear the average iPhone owner could never afford? Of course it is." is very disappointing. At least be honest with the question, there. Can you reproduce their ad/event with just an iPhone? Absolutely not. Can you still make some impressive things with one? Absolutely. Will we someday be able to do the full thing with more compute and less gear? Probably.
The biggest innovation here (shells centered on structured data rather than strings) comes from PowerShell. But PowerShell sucks as an interactive shell.

I see the basic concept for Elvish as PowerShell's language power, but with the more Unix-y sensibilities of traditional shells, plus, crucially, the human-friendly focus on rich built-ins for interactivity exemplified by fish.

I don't think a real-world implementation of that kind of idea is a 'merely cosmetic' innovation. There's real novelty in that synthesis. How to balance those inspirations is not obvious, and neither is how to fill the gaps between the big picture ideas and a usable tool.

Go use Elvish for a while and you'll see how much creativity has clearly gone into it. Hell, just browse the GitHub issues and you'll see.
