I personally don’t see why AI companies should be allowed to hold on to any of the “progress” that came from theft of intellectual property.

I think you’re spot on here. What has been lost at Apple is Steve Jobs’ product mindset.

So every other iPhone, the iPad, the MacBook Air, AirPods and the Watch were not useful because of one bendy phone and a bad keyboard? What great feat of design did Tim Cook bring us?

Yes this does remind me of the old spam wars of early 2000s. Back then collaborative block lists were useful to reject senders at IP level before using a Bayesian system on the message itself. Even though these bots are using different IPs

Most articles I've seen have echoed this sentiment, often conflating VR and AR as they go off about Meta and such. I guess with regards to the average consumer they are right about it being overpriced for what it does, but that feels s

Last week I needed to write a bash script that (among other things) parsed the text inside two square brackets that may or may not be in a given string. I rarely write bash or use regex, so it would probably have taken me 1/2 hr to an

Interesting but in the Apple case you'd need a cast of your intended victims face or finger to even attempt this attack. It's easy to use a mask (or occlusion) to prevent a system from detecting your real face, but spoofing a spec
