It seems sensible to send people to the appropriate avenue for support, they have no idea how someone has been compromised and by taking ownership it becomes their problem. If someone breaks into your house do you call the builder for help?

That's impressive! Between the advancement in robotics, chat/voice AI, and image generation it's going to become so hard to distinguish fiction from reality in a few years. You'll just have to see things in person to tru

This is the same principle as those mobile phone led flashing stickers from the 90’s/00’s. Clever idea.

My guess is very precise tracking to counter the earths orbit, long exposures, sensitive image sensors, massive lenses to capture the light, a remote location and luck.

I know absolutely nothing about quantum, but I did watch this Bloomberg video this week which was very helpful to understand it in layman’s term. https://youtu.be/1_gJp2uAjO0?si=--XzbVlAT3w9hw2L

Nothing but a random comment, but my daughter has near perfect pitch and it amazes me to no end. She can hear a note and 99% of the time tell you exactly what it is. She loves telling me when I'm off key in the car singing along to thi

That number is probably a fantasy, likely an estimate based one the ‘damage’ and ‘lost income’ per stream from people who were probably never going to pay for it anyway. The film industry is important. It employs millions of people in direc

There is no way in hell anything built there will be for normal people. That area is on the doorstep of the City, with excellent connections, it’s like the centre of a compass transport wise. When completed, you can bet it will be 2m+ for a

That's a fair point. My context is London England which can be dangerous if cycling on roads, but in most instances traffic is so congested and there are specific cycle paths and routes. From reading some of the other posts, it sounds

They should be charged with dangerous driving, but unfortunately won't be. Had you been distracted you might be in the hospital with a serious injury. Stay safe!

It says "Grabs the broadcast stream", I think it's suggesting using Jellyfin as a redistribution node for a piece of licenced content (sports games, films etc)

Sorry, I’m speaking from a European perspective (UK/London). When driving I’ve had idiots on e-scooters dressed in black with no lights zooming towards me on a one way street at night, I’ve had people walk out in front of me when distr

Pedestrian safety is already accounted for in a cars exterior design (American cars and ‘trucks’ being the exception). Most of pedestrian safety is about pedestrian awareness. I can only speak for myself but when I’m driving, cycling or wa

I can’t speak for framework… but for some wider context: I have a work supplied M1 Mac book pro. An outstanding machine. I have an older intel Mac that’s still running well, but starting to struggle. I bought a dirt cheap Thinkpad t495 abou

Lovely story, and I think that is true for a lot of animals. I grew up around horses and saw very similar traits.

“ Portrait of English mathematician Alan Turing was created by Ai-Da, one of the most advanced robots in the world”. Im highly sceptical it was “painted”… but would love to see it in action. Perhaps this will be the next iteration from the

Sounds like a lack of care and attention on the part of the law firm (that specialises in divorce), who are now looking to blame a computer rather than be accountable to their client (who was eventually going to be divorced). The judge has

You’re simplifying it a bit, but versions of that framing and mindset have brought user interfaces and interactions into existence.

Appple are speaking to the “Everyman”, Canonical are speaking to the tech literate. Different audiences, Apple has power users, but its largest audience is an average person (my wife for example). The average person doesn’t care about tech,

This happens to me also. I have an unfounded, loose theory that this is when my left and right brain are in sync with each other. Some days I'm more creative, others I'm more logical but when I'm in the zone I'm both of

I'm a designer by trade, programming is largely a hobby for me. By default I see things as pictures in my mind, I always have. When I read something and it doesn't make absolute sense to me, I need to learn more about the context

Is this not the same as a gap year? I’m Irish but unfortunately never bothered with TY. I live in the UK now so I’ve a limited understanding of TY and the ‘Gap year’.

Honest question, considering I have never driven or been in a Tesla, when you say “it would follow the wrong road markings into a crash would I not intervene”, are you not concerned for your safety when driving it.

It was eye opening to me at that point in my life as I hadn’t given too much thought to the detail in the world around me, in my own life and the economy. It was a strange experience to read ye-olde-English that outlined observations that s

It's been years since I read that one, I'll need to queue it up! Good suggestion on the library, I might have a chance in late 2025 to head to Japan again so I'll check it out if I can.

I watched this when it first appeared. From memory it was a good behind the scenes documentary and worth the watch if you had a passing interest in it as a kid.
