Seems like Instagram _is_ a browser. The right you seem to be claiming is “you can’t render my website in your app if I don’t like your app”, and that’s not how it works.

The most ridiculous thing about FSD is that there are people who paid $10,000 extra on their lease financing to pre-purchase FSD on their leased Model S/Y/3, drove the entire period of the 3-year lease without ever seeing any func

What do you think is the practical difference between “track[ing] across sites” and “information maintained about their interests and behavior”, and “retargeting people who have visited her own site”?

Right, but they care about how much advertising dollars they make, and they can make more dollars if the pool of possible advertisers is larger.

Apple is using their dominant (monopoly) position in mobile devices to shut down competitors in another industry (advertising) in order to drive growth in their own advertising platform, got it.

The fact that someone has made this claim and given a name to the concept doesn't make it valid.

Have you ever run a business that relied on advertising to drive revenue or are you just relying on what you've read online? Anyone running a small business in a niche space knows that targeted advertising works. The other aspect of it

I think DALL-E is clearly just gluing things together that it found in a massive dataset, and doesn't have any understanding of the underlying concepts. I thought it was easy to see the signs of this in examining its output. Same for G

For a long time, it was worse than that - once a change was "accepted", you could amend the commit with changes to literally any other file in the entire monorepo, and land it without any further review. They finally added a &quot

The micro-decisions you're referring to are trivial and no more of a cognitive load than deciding where to put your feet while walking. If you're an anxious or unskilled driver, sure, it's probably stressful. But most people

This is garbage. They quoted only the words "we hope", disingenuously made up the rest of the quote, and then try to pass it off as a mere paraphrase. The actual quote is "By the end of next year, we hope the ratio of job ope

The problem is that the security checklists are often flawed in the other direction - they're poorly targeted towards the system under review, technically out-of-date, and wielded by rigid and inflexible thinkers who won't take an

People wanted cars because, for most of the US, they are the only practical transportation method. And even the people who live in the few dense urban areas that could get by without cars don’t want to cut themselves off from access to the

Really? I think I've read all the C&H strips multiple times and never picked up on that. Notably, Calvin's parents are never given names, and the only relative ever featured as I recall was his uncle on his dad's side. Do

The telescope has had the mirror deployed for 6 months and so far it has had a single micrometeroid strike that exceeded expectations, and did some minor damage to a single mirror segment. Even if this continues at roughly the same rate, th

So, long story short, it's not a tracking device, it's an aftermarket alarm system? Guess what folks: with few exceptions, no one cares about tracking you. Enough with the paranoia already.

No, I don't find it odd. All the critical controls are in basically the same place in every car. Steering wheel, pedals, turn signals, etc. The rest I can figure out as needed. No need to study in advance.

Musk owns about 25% of Tesla, mostly after investing about $50M in Tesla's early funding rounds. His wealth today comes largely because Tesla (under his leadership as CEO) has become a company that investors now believe is incredibly v

I don't see how you can simultaneously believe that this is some 4D chess move from Musk to allow him to cleverly liquidate his Tesla holdings without tanking the stock - and also believe he is too incompetent to make sure he could act

The deal includes a "specific performance" clause, which allows Twitter to force Musk to carry out the deal. He can't simply pay $1 billion and walk away, he's in for a very messy legal fight. This pretext about bots is
