again, i keep asking: which apps have actually switched to the new screen sharing API and which apps have not? does zoom, chrome, google meet, etc still require this?

How do you bypass gatekeeper now? How often do you have to re-authenticate your existing binaries?

If true, alien first contact scenarios get a lot more interesting. Someone should write a short story about that.

No, the claim is much stronger than that: that the zygote itself encodes necessary information that isn’t captured in DNA. Put another way, long after humans are extinct, the claim is that if aliens could download our DNA source code someho

If you’re saying that LLMs trade idiomatic tools for ease-of-boilerplate-generation, shouldn’t that be a point against them, not in their favor? Pardon the hyperbole but it’s a bit like lauding an IDE for automatically generating thousands

Honestly, agreed. The most interesting and valuable parts of Tesla are the parts that Musk is uninvolved and uninterested in. Take the supercharger network for example. That could have been a gateway to complete market domination by Tesla,

why do X and SpaceX comingle assets and feuds like this? if I were a SpaceX shareholder, I'd be concerned about my CEO's misadventures with a separate company negatively impacting SpaceX's future plans for the South American

In Fusion 360, you can drag underconstrained parts of the sketch around with the mouse. So the “degree of freedom” is still specified, but by accidental placement of how you drew the sketch. Fully-constrained sketches show a black outline a

There’s some previous work from the 1800s and earlier that feels relevant, especially Farbige Noten, which mapped notes to colors as a novel notation method. There’s a short segment dedicated to it at 1h5m https://youtu.be/E

My former FAANG uses internships at the Ph.D. level for both recruiting and talent acquisition. Hiring committees have a way easier time assessing candidates with feedback like "this intern implemented X, Y, and Z beyond their project

How does tgup compare to ninite? The latter seems more polished and older/stable, with more software available. https://ninite.com/

I am curious why this name was chosen. Is there any connection between Isaiah and whales? Feels somewhat TempleOS-y.

Subtraction of unsigned negative values still works just fine because of two’s compliment. (uint8)(-3) is 253, for example, and (uint8)5-(uint8)253 = (uint8)8, corresponding to 5 - (-3)

Are there any examples of apps that do that? As a consumer, I haven't ever heard of an app that offers this (e.g. goodnotes, LiquidText, MarginNote, Audulus and Things have new major releases and don't seem to do this)

What sort of performance are you needing? My Apple M1 MacBook (2021) can infer whisper-medium at roughly 10x realtime, for comparison. Takes about 20min to process three hours of audio.

This is a US company… so how is health insurance being handled? COBRA costs are a couple thousand dollars for families, and even that’s not available to employees who choose to voluntarily quit. Either the CEO is ignorant of the reality or
