Yes, they're designed not to cause the problem, but wouldn't they feed the problem, if it's ever caused by someone else?

I wear a Seiko watch. Never, ever was it mistaken by anyone for a Rolex or any other luxury brand. Meanwhile, the whole discussion around moissanite, including the linked article, is centred around how it makes a better diamond than an actu

Some people buy expensive watches, even though there are visually indistinguishable clones on the market. I still don't think that a fake Rolex makes for a great gift. I don't really want to advocate for diamonds here. I hate that

To an engineer's eye this might make sense, but the significant cost of a diamond is actually the very point of buying it. And it's hardly an odd thing - the history of human civilisation is littered with examples of spending for

Not that it matters either way, but I hate the recent Apple style of presentation with everyone being overly happy, hand-wavy and eerily excited about mundane features. This at least felt different and somewhat more honest.

For decades true AI was always 7 years away. Now it’s always two weeks ago.

Why no frequency in the announcement?

So you claim that a group of pro-diversity ("left wing") leaders would do less to prevent harmful exclusion, than a group that is mixed on the issue? Am I reading this right?

I run a ~5 year old Roomba, that I just never connected to anything. I control it via the physical buttons and it works just fine. Is that not an option anymore on newer models?

You probably need to be in the line of sight of the interfering device, so it has much less coverage on the ground level.

It should be easy to correct for - only count aircraft that actually report good navigation accuracy sometimes.

It's always interesting how living on Earth wraps our perception and makes it somewhat difficult to understand how things really are. Like Newton's First Law, which is in a way completely obvious, but not very intuitive in an envi

Their new autocorrect is based around LLM. Not sure if it's a major investment, but it is a real product.

On the other hand, I’ve seen not an insignificant number of cases where someone overstepped a boundary by forcing a conversation on someone who was clearly not into it. I think it’s ok to try, but given the context, cultural differences, le

It’s not unusual to take a camera on vacation and keep it handy whenever possible.

And here lies the problem - there’s a difference between “we have no process that associates queries and users” and “the system is specifically designed to make this association impossible”.

by exitb 3y ago
Not so plain. We do not (log AND associate), or we do not log AND we don’t associate? Am I supposed to believe that if their backend crashes after a user query, that can’t tell what has been queried?

But it makes the art worse if the money's returned. It's JUST an empty canvas then, not even worth keeping on the wall.

Reminds me of the Bu£a virus for C64, that infected the 1541 disk drive, thus could survive power cycling of the main unit. Here’s a detailed analysis - https://youtu.be/4k9EKkCcWoc

The straw man has been shot with silver bullets. Can we also linearise calls like box.PutIn(pizza)? What if it's a complex external API call that takes the pizza serialised to ProtoBuf and needs credentials that you'll retrieve fr

I just saw a museum exhibition that featured a C64C, running all day, with a dust cover on, on what appeared to be the original PSU. I think it makes sense to be cautious about your own unit, but they’re probably not as vulnerable as people

There are more reasons to do this, other than theft. Often photographer does NOT want to appear professional, as it affects their subjects.

In that segment, Flair is the right answer. It’s simple, durable and capable of delivering 100% real espresso, on par with high end machines. It’s also not weird, you can actually use it every day and prep the drink in just a few minutes. A

I live ~700km from DCF77 and never get the signal indoors. Which is unfortunate in this case, as the watch tries to synchronize at night, when I’m usually at home.
