This type of thing definitely makes me less sympathetic to their complaints about Apple's anti-consumer practices (regardless of the validity of those complaints)

It's interesting to consider that the company was profitable in 2018 ($1.2B) & 2019 ($1.4B) [0]. It would have also been profitable in 2021 if not for a $900 million lawsuit settlement hitting the books. It was by no means a sinkin

One time (early 2000s) my dad was driving across a remote and desolate stretch of Utah, on a motorcycle, doing speeds well into the 3 digit miles per hour. Approaching civilization, he had slowed to a reasonable speed of his own accord and

[Spoiler alert I guess] Having only read the wiki page for The Light of Other Days (now very interested in reading the book, thanks!), it seems you’re mostly right, with the difference in Liu’s work being that total surveillance of earth is

Seems like just taking out the word download after the slash does the trick: https://gbatemp.net/download/gba-and-ds-rom-hacking-guide.33... The info isn't embedded on the page, but the download button for the PDF

Yes. Photogrammetry + ML is fundamentally inferior to a LiDAR-based solution, particularly on the time-scale motor vehicles operate on.

Sheesh. First of all, we already know that because people have already died due to Tesla software not working right. And second of all, he thinks Twitter can’t lead to deaths? Let’s say the Iranian government was given unfettered access

No, that is not a new activation. The activation is at the sim card-level. If you needed a second sim so that you can have two active devices, that would incur the fee.

I use the web version on safari on my iPhone and it works surprisingly well - at least for my most common use case of moving photos between devices.

Thanks, that's a worthy addition (and good example of what I mean about agreeing with his philosophy). I was probably a bit too uncharitable in saying he doesn't want to see progress.

Oh, he loves to push against the hype alright. To his credit, he’s very smart - I think he sold an AI startup to Uber several years ago. And I agree with a lot of his criticisms and general AI philosophy. Still, it’s impossible for me to

I find this moralizing over an inconsequential pun in the face of a brazen financial fraud to be bizarre (not to mention illogical since your two examples have nothing to do with meaning in the source language). The tone of the article is u

It’s a low-effort pun enabled by the coincidence of his name rhyming with con. And he is almost certainly a shameless con artist. What exactly is offensive about this?

Thanks for sharing - I scrolled and scrolled and eventually noticed a video called ‘My Dog’ and one called ‘Remember at my wife Ana María, with photo’ both from 9 years ago. Fascinating.

Not to be a pedant, but you’re apparently referring to Ira Glasser (Ira Glass being the mild-mannered host of This American Life).

It’s mostly the Mandela-esque effect of everyone seeming to remember it being a supposedly washable interior. Plus the Element sort of has an outsized place in American popular car culture, not unlike the Pontiac Aztek. That’s my best guess

Not sure if this is the genesis of that acronym but that is a song on GZA's classic album Liquid Swords [0]. Interestingly, the album cover [1] and lyrics include chess references throughout. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2
