Perhaps the objection started out with something fundamentally irrational or opinion-based, and someone was ordered to "reverse-engineer" an objection out of that which wasn't trivially refutable - e.g. "the noise from t

One reasonable niche application I've seen of image models is in real estate, as a way to produce "staged" photos of houses without shipping in a bunch of furniture for a photo shoot (and/or removing a current tenant&#

This program specifically targeted homeless youth; it seems plausible that the demographics of that segment might differ from the larger community.

GMail doesn't currently have any feature to do that kind of filtering.

Functionally there's very little distinction - a question asked by a law enforcement officer during a search and seizure will inevitably be understood as a demand, no matter how it's worded. (And doubly so when it's in the co

Unfortunately, eBay uses emoji in the subject lines for a bunch of their transactional email, e.g. "<U+1F4E6>ORDER DELIVERED".

Ah - so, not full-on runtime code generation, just runtime loading (with some associated code-mangling operations like applying relocations). That seems considerably more manageable than what I was thinking at first.

How many PS2-era games used JIT? I would be surprised if there were many of them - most games for the console were released between 2000 and 2006. JIT was still considered a fairly advanced and uncommon technology at the time.

That's a pretty profoundly dystopian concept. If the only way this technology is viable is as a way to exploit labor at a distance - count me out.

> Expect security and privacy in the marketing for these things, too Pitching "security and privacy" as features of a device that's remotely operated and monitored is going to be a very hard sell.

A teleoperated robot is little more than a human worker with extra steps. (And an expensive, clumsy human worker at that.) I can't imagine many situations where that would make sense instead of having a human do the work in person.

Isn't that still a major release behind? Trixie (Debian 13) came out last August.

Deep Blue was also a bit of a parlor trick. It relied on a ton of special-purpose hardware - literally a rack of custom-made chess ICs. It's neat that it worked, but it didn't have any wider applicability.

Then why does the extension try to fake a bunch of other properties, like the user agent and decoding capabilities, which should be redundant?

SSD1306 is a bit in the middle. It's technically a 128x64 monochrome bitmapped display, but it's organized as eight 128x8 "rows", with each byte representing a single 1x8 group of pixels. That organization really favors

Telegram's bot API is a lot easier to get started with for sure. It's got some rough edges once you start trying to do anything more complex, though, and the underlying MTProto API is nothing short of bizarre. I'd urge cautio

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the hardware under management (e.g. IP cameras, NVRs, cable modems) lacks support for IPv6, and/or the customer networks that it's resident on don't have working IPv6 transit.

Not that this makes it any better, but a lot of AI videos on YouTube are published with no specific intent beyond capturing ad revenue - they're not meant to deceive, just to make money.

As an aside: Chinese also uses the same term for both (焊接), and the standard English translation is "welding". This can lead to some confusion when Chinese manufacturers start talking about e.g. "surface-mount welding".

Maybe. It's certainly the case that there are areas of the human brain which are specifically associated with recognizing faces, like the fusiform face area - it's an intrinsic capability of the brain, not one that's learned.

That doesn't really work in situations where the industrial base doesn't exist for local manufacturing, and where building that would be likely to take much longer than the tariff will be in place (to say nothing of the costs). Th

Also, hilariously, a lot of those questions require a trip to Wikipedia (or a game guide) today. A lot of them reference bits of 1960s/1970s pop culture which are no longer common knowledge. https://allowe.com/games&#x2
