For information retrieval and collation related tasks (reading lists, deep dives on subjects, etc.), Gemini is way better w.r.t. other models in my experience. This difference is probably due to Google's web knowledge and free pass to

Being an Associate Country (or Associate State) doesn't guarantee visa-free travel (ask how we know), yet I'm sure that Canadians will get it served on a silver platter.

At the end of the day, a sandbox is a slice/cgroup. i.e.: Kernel's ability to create a complete bubble around a process or set of processes. My beef is not with immutable OSes or sandboxes or else. They all have use cases and reas

For a certain population smaller than n , Earth also has effectively infinite resources. So again, it's a relativity, not a certainty.

Don't forget law enforcement, customs or any high(ish) stakes sector which needs to be able to trust the images they show as evidence as well. Back in the day Canon and Nikon tried this with embedded private keys on their cameras, and

Some banks needs photos of machine readable IDs to verify user details to fight fraud. These IDs can be passports or NFC enabled EU (and compatible) ID cards. This will allow banks to trust these cameras more on the long run, allowing highe

How do you plan to replace the sensor of your phone's main camera (with a device you need), and let it authenticated by the OS, and then create authenticated photographs with it? Apple/iOS already have part authentication pipeline

For me, it's not a reactionary snark. I'm just fed-up with people lying, and my default mode has switched from trust to distrust for these people. Am I guilty of not trusting people who have a habit of lying, or is this their own

Amutable. Building an immutable and image based system which even the installer can't modify, a-la macOS. One systemd patch at a time.

An airline has a weather radar which shows the same thing for the same thing of weather event ahead. So, for similar weather phenomena, radar shows a similar thing. For that thing, procedures and regulations are built. So regulations fit in

I see. Somebody said that lowering the bar is not good. Somebody else asked for examples, and I provided an example. So, if you want to be pedantic, that doesn't track well, because what I answered was not about mathematics. If you wan

The point I was trying to make was not "enjoying the process for the sake of it", but paying attention and spending effort on the journey created better software at the end. When you look at older software, most of it was higher q

That's a good idea, but a physical device is deterministic most of the time (if not always). E.g.: A lawnmower, as credited by the great Bryan Cantrill. However an AI agent, or the model powering it is stochastic by design. How can you

PFAS case is a rare occurrence, and this is after DuPont knowing the harms and downplaying or ignoring it for decades. A similar thing has been surfaced in Dalton, Georgia, again about PFAS [0]. Let's see how will it play out... [0]:

Yes. The compressor can't pump more heat outside since it's already hot from working and trying to pump out the extracted heat as well. For T1 class of devices, that 41 degrees is also a physical limit, not an artificial cut, beca
