The reason why this is a bad idea is that it's hard to remove emoji when they go out of fashion. You can't just pull characters out of the set without breaking the backwards compatibility assumptions made by every programming la

Are there any cell phones left that can connect to modern cell networks but cannot run a TOTP authentication app? There are even authenticator apps for Java ME!

That's the point. The website is finding images that look similar, not the images the algorithm actually used to generate that picture for the prompt "avatar for saurik".

That seems like the same situation -- it got 1300 on a practice test where a bunch of Internet sources discuss the exact questions and answers.

"[X] Is All You Need" is a popular trope in AI paper titles, sort of like "[X] Considered Harmful".

Zig is probably the closest you'll get to this in an imperative language. You can write functions that take types as arguments and return types, and that's how e.g. generic data structures are implemented.

AFAIK the redesign only affected the page chrome, navigation, etc. It didn't affect the HTML content of the actual articles because that's controlled by the Wikipedia editor community, not the Wikimedia Foundation (who maintains t

Curling up in a ball and rolling around on the floor seems like a worst case for a lot of motion tracking setups. Systems based on wearable sensors won't work because you can't comfortably roll around in them, and single-viewpoint

This sounds like Raymond Chen's "code execution leads to code execution" class of vulnerabilities: if you can trick users into running a malicious script, you have already won.

I wonder how the performance of Vision.framework on desktop Mac hardware compares to a cluster of phones. (The author mentions that it was "fairly slow", but it sounds like they were running an iOS app in the simulator and not a m

Do you have a source on fingerprinting being illegal? A lot of website privacy policies mention that they will collect "information about your device hardware configuration" or similar language.

Standards like WebMIDI are used for fingerprinting.

In hobbyist OS dev, I think "multi-user" just means "I implemented user accounts and file permissions and stuff". Windows, macOS, and Linux are all multi-user operating systems.

TCP_NODELAY is not directly involved in the author's binary. But sending a ton of network packets that only have a few bytes each is pretty much the same problem as making a ton of write() calls with a few bytes each.

I've seen this construction used in a lot of places (like the name of "All Things Digital", the predecessor to Re/code), but I have never heard of anyone putting a dash between the last two words.

Maybe this is just me, but I find it really unnatural to pause in the middle of a short phrase like "all things wild". I'd emphasize "wild" by putting stress on it, not by pausing. But this excerpt is the end of a p

The sample is taken from a full audiobook that is currently available for sale, so you'd think they would've put an annotation on "all places wild" if they had that ability.

The "Helena" sample contains a pretty good test case of this system's ability to guess where emphasis and pauses go: > I know Bill carried within him deep currents of spiritual yearning that he found easiest to express thr

I'm guessing a few reasons: 1. The kit has like thirty individual devices in it, many of which are unique or have a bunch of tactile buttons and sliders. Marketing for the product suggests that they were designed to be really durable s

CloudFlare's solution is significantly less secure than Tor; it's more like visiting an HTTPS website using a VPN service. You have to trust that the VPN and the website operator aren't colluding to de-anonymize you, and that

Wikipedia uses a .org domain, so it won't show up on "most popular .com domains" lists. (And I think the parent comment is searching for domains with lots of subdomains, which is why providers like Blogspot and Fandom show up

I don't think any individual language is too hard—after all, humans can learn to read and write them—but doing all of them at once is tricky.

The underlying assumption of all these "handling text is impossible" blog posts is that you're trying to write a text renderer that handles every language in the world. This is indeed very hard, as many languages require thei

I haven't done much with Forth, so take this with a grain of salt. Most corporate software development uses languages like Java, C#, Ruby, and Python that are all very similar to one another. Sure, some of them use different punctuatio

I wonder if this creates an opportunity for "seller privacy" services to establish the minimum viable LLC, PO box, etc on behalf of sellers. Like domain privacy, but with more paperwork.

Has Stanford ever not been a finishing school for politically correct resume-building spreadsheet fillers? They could probably get away with having wild parties on the side, before camera phones and social media. But, like, the fact that
