Halide is a professional-grade camera application that offers advanced photography features such as manual controls, RAW and ProRAW capture, live histograms, focus peaking, depth capture, macro photography, augmented reality overlays, adaptive gesture controls, exposure tools like zebra stripes, and advanced video recording options. In order to provide these functionalities, these require camera permissions to access and control the device's camera hardware in real-time. Each feature relies on direct interaction with the camera to adjust settings, analyze live image data, and offer immediate feedback, making camera access essential for the app to function as intended and enhance the overall user experience.

moral of the story. spend 3 extra minutes writing something out and save yourself from a headache.

why are we assuming every person that reviews apps knows what ur app does? with submissions like this the explain it like im 5 approach is necessary.
That's what I thought. I obviously don't know Python well enough and didn't know you can name dicts (like, beyond setting them to a variable). I guess you can export from a module so they are prefixed! Didn't think of that one earlier.
Uh-huh. Are we getting privacy policy for sed and grep next?

From my experience actually yes many are if you are a paid subscriber. Free services certainly have slow or non-existent support models. But IMO a service owned by a multi-billion dollar company should at least be responding to their support tickets from paid users within 5 business days.
I just keep some reusable shopping bags in the car and in my backpack. Having an extra bag can often be useful outside just shopping trips. They're far nicer than the disposable plastic bags. They can carry more weight, don't tear from sharper edges of some packages, and look nicer. Some of the bags I have in my car even have a metal wire rim around the top to help hold the bag open so soft items don't get squished when I carry the bag and its really full.

Kind of like this, but smaller:

https://www.amazon.com/Household-Essentials-Utility-Pockets-...

And arguing reusable bags aren't as big as disposable plastic bags or can't carry as much is laughable. Bags can come in any shape or size. I assure you there are lots of reusable bags far larger than the typical disposable plastic shopping bags. A typical disposable plastic bag is like 22" H x 12" W x 6" D fully expanded (including handles in that 22", so really less for storage, more like maybe 16" if even that). Losing the handles you're talking ~1,150 cubic inches. The bag linked above is 13" H x 22" W x 11" D not including the handles. That's ~3,140 cubic inches. Which is a bigger number?

The vast majority of reusable shopping bags I've encountered and owned are much larger than standard disposable plastic shopping bags. Incredible seeing someone argue they just don't make bags bigger than average disposable shopping bags...
As far as I understand it, the permission is allowed/denied by the end user.

It's the App Store reviewer that considered the permission prompt to be unclear, and thus rejected the app from the platform.
“Almost perfectly”

It is freaking amazing that this works almost perfectly. Seriously, it’s mind blowing. The problem is, when you keep in mind how the technology works, you realize that the “almost” can never be removed. That’s fine for some use cases but not for others. I understand that human translators make mistakes but they have a conception of truth and correctness, that matters.
A financial system for illegal transactions.
This is because the customers at Home Depot and Lowe's are primarily muggles. The wizards will pop in if they need something and it's convenient, but by and large they buy at wizard stores that stock the full range of fittings.

Said wizard stores sometimes have a handwritten sign taped up on the wall behind the counter dating back to the Carter administration that reads "Those in the trade will be served first"[0].

Your reward for being a wizard is having competent help at the store, and the fittings haven't been randomly distributed among the bins by a million prior muggles.

Electrician wizards similarly work with electrical supply stores, not Home Depot if they can avoid it. Carpenter wizards cross over a little more, but they generally prefer to work with lumber yards that deliver[1] and have halfway decent lumber[2].

[0] Yes, literally.

[1] I believe the box stores do to, but they charge handsomely because they don't really want to.

[2] 2x3's are crap everywhere, but the quality on anything bigger goes up immensely at a real lumberyard.

I'd flip your comment about optical surfaces: they need to be smooth, not continuous, and smoothness is actually not required either! The requirement is a consistent phase relationship, which allows the signals to add together nicely via interference. Rays coming from same direction take the same path to the detector and interfere constructively, while rays coming from different directions tend to cancel.

For optical frequencies, the phase is difficult to measure directly, so we instead polish the surfaces down to a fraction of the wavelength of light (so that it all has the same phase). For radio telescope, the frequency is a lot lower, and we actually can measure the phase directly, so we can make our sensors crazy shapes and adjust it by adding delay. If you can change the individual delays (say, via software) you can change how they interfere and therefore change the sensitive direction for your telescope. This is how phased arrays function.
You would only do this to a land that is degraded. I don’t mean, degraded like in its natural state I mean, degraded as an already fucked up by man. In this case, the land was choked with invasive grasses

You're going to have to cite a data protection authority case for me to believe that.

Edit: no, the more I think about it the more this interpretation is completely nuts. It implies that every single software vendor needs to secure consent from every single end user of software they ship through any client.

e.g. if SAP provide CRM software to Contoso, and Jim is a customer of Contoso, even though all the data is processed on Contoso premises, SAP still need to be in communication with Jim?

And yet ...
Sure, you can use it for stuff, just don't expect it to hold anything real in any meaningful span.

Here's some real values for you:

2ft 3/4 EMT has an expected failure force of about 3300lbs (some studies found actual is around 3900-4200lbs).

4ft 3/4 EMT ha an expected failure force of about 2000lbs.

8ft 3/4 EMT has an expected failure force of about 450lbs.

So it is non-linear.

This is the point at which it fails catastrophically, not the point at which it starts sagging.

They are also not permanent load ratings, include no safety factors, etc.

Cost wise, 3/4 EMT costs 11 bucks for a 10ft piece at my home depot.

I can go to my local metal supply and get 3/4 square structural steel tube for < $1.00 a ft.

This is relatively in line with online suppliers so i believe it's not an exception:
https://www.onlinemetals.com/en/buy/square-tube

This is structurally rated steel tube - it will hold much more than the EMT, it is meant for holding things, and being square, it's often easier to work with.

So i just don't know why i'd use the EMT.

The novels I like the most right now are "Mysteries of the Immortal Puppet Master" and "Eternal tale" which are both just fun Chinese fantasy novels.

> What brought about the interest?

They are very unique coming from the perspective of an American that has mostly read books published by Western authors. There are all these unique fantasy tropes based on Chinese history that are like a parallel branch to Tolkein based fantasy. Also, you can clearly see that they have completely different value systems and ironically you can tell they are comparatively less censored.
Some context that sometimes gets lost: this sort of research is, to put it crudely, content marketing for an investment bank.

So when the article says "the firm began hosting private bull-and-bear debates" we can be sure that each attendee was met shortly thereafter by their friendly Goldman salesperson to talk about how to trade whichever way they wanted.
AI progress has been dramatic but the revenue doesn't even come close to the infra spend. Also companies like Meta have started to commoditize the models. Consumers could give less a shit about copilot enabled PCs.

The actual revenue is in the future and requires more RnD. Many barriers to robotics and autonomy have started to fall. Drug development could greatly benefit from some of these advances.

Ai spending is more about fear (of falling behind) than greed
If I could install whatever app I wanted on an iPhone, I would definitely try one out and very likely switch to using it over Android.

I actually did have an iPod Touch back in the early days of iOS, but it did not play well with my non-mac desktop, so I sold it and haven't owned an Apple device since then. But I am totally willing to give them another chance.

But to answer your question- because free markets require regulation to keep them free. If Google and Apple are allowed to have an unregulated duopoly, they will abuse that position to force out competitors and prevent new ones from entering the market.
Depends on where do you live and what access to mainstream banking you have. Nowadays about 95% of money I spend goes through crypto, and honestly, I don't want to go back.

This is the view of a year ago. This take is already outdated.

There are already jobs being lost.

You don't need to make "Billons", you just need a model cheap enough to be cheaper than the human being replaced.

So if I can take one of the off the shelf models, and it costs me $20/week to replace a human that costs $1000/week, then there you go. It is already disruptive.

People forget that there was a shit ton of investment in the early internet that also didn't pay off, but nobody would say that the internet didn't have some winners.

Edit: Lot of people with head in sand.

Future of Coding Community Projects
Because sometimes people are being wrong on the internet and given the entire point of this site is discussion, well, what else would you expect.

Nobody is simping for anything. Taken at face value, folks just have an opinion that is different than your and they are expressing it on a site designed explicitly to express such things. And that is just fine.

Who knows maybe they have a point that you never considered. Why else would you visit the comments here? Just to get a pat on the back that every person on the planet thinks exactly like you do?
Do you want to finish it or do you want to start something else? lol

but yea, I agree, which to do. My random take would be do the opposite of what you normally do... my scientific expertise on this, I've started ~100 projects in the last year, and mostly "finished" 3...
Euthanasia and suicide are not the same thing.

Xianxia I expect. Distinctly Chinese fantasy webnovels set around Cultivators seeking immortality that go for 6000 chapters and start with the main character being the weakest guy in the weakest part of a world to them being a god like being who pinches galaxies between their finger tips.

As for why do people read it? Well.. there's lots of it, it's free and it's inherently progression fantasy most of the time which can often be addictive.

One must simply be careful they do not read forbidden scriptures.... and develop the Dao of Brainrot, it's sadly an ever present danger.

Many older people have a laugh at fasting as they describe it as young people finding out about skipping meals and calling it a new thing. But such fasting was pretty much successfully stamped out of the culture so it did have to be rediscovered. Fasting was tied to vanity and corporate corrupted science conspired to successfully frame fasting as counter productive and bad for your health.

When I was a 8yo child the government sent in health advisors to teach children about low salt and low fat diets that are high in carbs. The two health advisors were the most unhealthy looking people I had seen in my entire life up to that point. One was the fattest person I had ever seen and the other was the skinniest - both looked like they were knocking on deaths door. I wondered if they ate lunch together and how that would look. I figured, as a start, I should do the opposite of whatever these two suggest - I dismissed the food pyramid guidelines and resolved to eat a more traditional diet on the basis that people who ate such a diet looked like they lived longer and healthier lives. One of the many instances that instilled my general mistrust of the government. I would find out later that it was corporate corruption of food science that inspired these teachings and my simple heuristic held me in good stead.

Eh. Many programming jobs are connected to the actual creation of real world value. As in, I can point to actual real life people from every programming job I've had that will say: "Yes, my life was improved by the use of your programs". The fact that I do it using a computer and a climate controlled office isn't really relevant.

Stock traders are so abstracted from real human value, that it is not a stretch to say that their jobs do not add value as a whole to the world. If we had half as many people working in financializing the world, capital allocation would not suffer. At least that's my belief.

My suspicion is that AI will simultaneously be a bust and a boom.

I think virtually every AI startup won't survive because they just repackage existing AI services. It this sense, it is a bust for investors.

But the use of ChatGPT and alternatives, the invention of better AI, and the demand for GPU cars will grow exponentially. In this sense, it is a boom
Kids will definitely request most of the "weird shit" books that make the news simply because they are banned. They're not interested in "weird shit", but very interested in looking at anything parents don't want them to look at.

Hard to have sympathy for anyone choosing this path at this point, over a decade of stories like this and the “quality” of what Apple does let through tells you everything you need to know about their opinion and respect of software.
Exit International [1] is an interesting organization. I studied it for an old college paper and briefly immersed myself in the general subject of euthanasia, which is a pretty big topic.

One thing I distinctly remember is the 'quality of death' rating system, where pentobarbital sodium ranks highest, with inert gas asphyxiation possibly second.

I learned too, the European (Dutch?) Holders of the patent prohibit its use for judicial homicide, which has resulted in some pretty grotesque botched execution efforts with alternative methods.

I worked for a guy with an Exit International dog tag DNR necklace. We were discussing the subject of Right to Die when I mentioned the organization and his eyes grew as he lifted it from his chest to show me proudly.

In Switzerland, there is Dignitas https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dignitas_(non-profit_organis...

Edit: For anyone considering pursuing euthanasia via suicide tank with a terminal condition, or even without, consider hopping in an isolation tank (or Samadhi) first. Lots of potential for transcendence there, or worst case, discovery and fun.

The point isn't that assisted suicide as implemented in canada is objectively bad, it's that it's extremely ignorant and uncharitable to paint all opposition to assisted suicide as "common lizard brain reaction" and "people don't like, or feels icky, and they have no idea why they feel that way".

The app store controls what food ordering and dating apps are allowed to exist. So it's not a "to this person specifically" situation, but certain things don't make it to the market.

(personally I'm in the middle on this: some quality control is valuable, and probably essential for anything with access to user data or payment services. But the store is also anti-competitive.)
I thought the translation of the first of the trilogy was stilted and flat, I could appreciate and enjoy the underlying story but the prose felt like a mechanical translation. The latter two books though I thought read much more naturally.
I don't think you should be getting downvoted for this, because you're pretty much correct. People's sense of what's normal has shifted so much in the last two years that LLMs now seem quaint, but the impact they've already had on things like the quality of machine translation is huge.

If you go to plain ChatGPT, a system not specifically designed to translate languages, and tell it to translate "以后你再使用我照片请使用这两张任何一张都可以这是我们结婚的照片" to English, you get a better result than any machine translation from just a few years ago. For example, it gets from context that "这是" has to be translated to a plural phrase in English. Even right now, Google Translate still gets this wrong.

I'm worried that a lot of the impact these technologies have will eventually turn out to be overwhelmingly bad. Google Photos is already partially broken by the amount of shitty AI images it returns. But the fact that they do have a huge impact can't be denied.

I don't know what exactly qualifies something as "changing the world", but if LLMs don't qualify, then not a lot of things do.

I'm fairly sure it has not been done on earth because labor is simply cheaper, not because it's technologically impossible.
Nice trap!

But the things they stripped out that you say were "ms-specific" were only "ms-specific" because they didn't bother to port them along with the rest of core...

...And as a result, core didn't contain anything interesting, and there's no reason you'd use it.
