That's true for chess engines, but almost every use-case listed in the WebNN specification currently requires a fairly large model. Certainly not things you would want every website downloading duplicate copies of.

I don't know anything about insulin production, but if supply is not able to keep up with demand with the current production method, then a new highly scalable way to produce it ought to be really good news, shouldn't it? The exac

Quite interesting what can be achieved by combining a bit of engineering with nature, vs just manufacturing drugs.

There's a fake SpaceX YouTube account that looks official because they included videos from the real channel in playlists to get verification ticks & have managed to harvest thousands of subscribers. YT's interface is a bit du

The interviewer asked "videos from YouTube?" and the answer was "I'm actually not sure about that." Similarly no answer about videos from Facebook or Instagram. It's a kind of significant implementation detail,

Article makes it sound like the wind conditions might not be favorable, but I imagine that Starship can probably handle more wind than smaller rockets just by being heavy.

I'm no expert, but it seems quite concerning that something as simple as a seat movement might not be sufficiently isolated from flight systems to prevent an electrical short.

It's certainly very surprising. Either bullshit or a significant discovery.

Seems like it has the potential to be a decent alternative to the weight control drugs that significant portions of the population have recently been starting to take.

That's what I was thinking when I read it, but it seems strange that it isn't explicitly mentioned. It also seems quite surprising to me that drinking pomegranate vinegar would increase muscle. Makes me wonder if there's some

That would be plausible if they stuck to their guns for as long as possible. In this case, they suspended the account, put themselves further into the spotlight, and then reactivated the account.

Difficult to imagine what Apple were thinking in the first place. Did they actually think there was a chance the EU would let this slide? Best I can tell, all they've achieved is bringing even greater scrutiny on themselves.

Does Safari sandbox between multiple PWAs running? Besides, shouldn't it be up to the browser engine to decide on sandboxing between PWAs? The important part for Apple should be that the browser engine itself is sandboxed from the rest

by jfoster 3y ago
I can tell from the phrasing that you don't agree with Apple on that, but just want to respond anyway. Apple will still be sandboxing the browser engines, so even if Apple doesn't trust the browser vendors, this still isn't a

Would there actually be a security problem in allowing PWAs to run under whichever browser engine put them there? Added from Chrome? Runs in Chrome. Added from Safari? Runs in WebKit. etc. Why the drama?

Could they (or a for-profit company) bid on it? Do liquidators in the US have to consider any offer, even if it was unsolicited? Does it vary from state to state?

Yes, but the point is that they didn't ship it with anything for the wearer to hear audio without disturbing those around. That aspect of the product makes no sense.

Valid points until you consider that they went with wearing speakers on your head. Anything detachable or able to be disabled would've been better. It's ridiculous to put speakers on a headset.
