Most likely it’s real. That said, we don’t know how many 10s-100s of takes this was done in. This single video could be the results of hundreds of hours of fine tuning parameters.

That’s often the case for commodities, but not always services. Many services are designed to go easy on the little guy, but hit big companies hard. Look at most software plans, where pricing is e.g. $5/user up to 25 users and $10&#x2F

It’s a whitelist, but it’s opt-out. You have to specifically check “do not let this app run on Mac” in the App Store Connect portal.

I excluded my company’s app from running on M1. It relies on iPhone hardware (specifically the microphone, and all our training data was recorded from iPhones), and we found the experience on M1 to be abysmal. So perhaps, many developers wh

You’re most likely using dd wrong then. Perhaps an incorrect block size or not writing to the raw device (e.g on Mac, that would be /dev/rdisk1). That said, the fact that Etcher doesn’t require you to know this is a plus.

“Currently” isn’t the best word here, as there’s an implication that this will change. Etcher has and will always be an Electron app.

You... just saved me many hours. My 2021 goal is to migrate from 1Password to Bitwarden. I’ve been putting it off as I still have half a year of my subscription. But that does make it easier. Thank you!

I have no idea, since I'm not the Mozilla exec responsible for those decisions. It's a hot take, but it's not my take.

A different way to look at it is that the CEO provides >$2M in value to the company, whereas many of the engineers were not providing their $100k+ salary of value.

When all crops will be (presumably) manually pollinated, it might be easier with plants that produce a lot of pollen.

When it was legalized in Canada, the legal prices were pretty bad. There were also restrictions on only allowing the sale of flower (ie no edibles or concentrates IIRC). Since then, the government has pulled up their socks. The prices are c

I play video games about 8 hours per month. At 40c per hour, it would cost me less than $40/year to rent a gaming computer in the cloud. Even $400/year seems pretty reasonable. It’s only not cost effective if you use it a lot (whi

Somewhat related, I would love a recreation of the W95 3D maze screensaver.

48 miles is probably good enough for 95%+ of people. Also worth noting that that’s higher than any other PHEV in its class (SUV).

I have no idea what company is in the article since it doesn’t say. But if it’s (likely) John Deere, we avoid them like the plague. Granted, my family’s farm is “hobby farm” scale. I see plenty of Deere’s on actual farms. But for me, it’s n

What the article didn’t mention is that trying to work with a camera constantly on is highly stressful for some people. If it works for you, great. But don’t assume it’s better than regularly scheduled meetings.

My email password used to contain a pattern of symbols that I knew by pattern in QWERTY. I ended up at a cyber cafe in Europe locked out of my email because I didn’t remember the actual symbols.

I can confirm. I went to a gifted school and Lego Mindstorms was on the curriculum. Then in (conventional) high school I hosted a workshop on beginning Python (with Turtle) and half the people couldn’t understand why x=2 after “x=1” and “x+

Is there anything really stopping drivers from not striking? Unlike a union strike, Uber/Lyft drivers are striking on their own terms. Presumably if everyone else is striking, rates will be really high and the drivers not striking will

Yes. GPUs are extremely good at doing millions of small repetitive calculations, and not great elsewhere. My capstone project used RL on a Raspberry Pi to train hardware-in-the-loop (essentially when to open and close valves based on sensor

I don’t see this as too much an issue. Sure, you have a privacy policy accessible in your app, but A) Google doesn’t know that B) People in the Play store can’t read it before downloading. All Google is asking is that you put the privacy po

I’ve wondered about this a lot. Anime (and many hand drawn animations in general) is typical fairly predictable. Objects, expressions, and even motions are reused frequently. Shapes are often basic enough that a “vector” graphic could adeq
