The (formerly) official discord group has cut ties with ADSB exchange and is suggesting everyone go to airframes after the recent acquisition. Don't know much about airframes or why they picked them yet though. https://web.a

Apples own design guide for requesting reviews, the guide for which they use to reject apps or app updates stipulates: "Avoid interrupting people while they're performing a task or playing a game." I would say mid podcast cer

Right but explicitly calling it during a playing podcast is obviously confusing - just look at the review section: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/apple-podcasts/id525463029

It is definitely confusing when it is coming in the middle of a playing podcast. Just look at the App Store reviews - they are all for specific podcasts, not the app itself: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/apple-podc

It’s not speculation just because they don’t have a photo of the prompt (of which I’ve received personally) - the story is in plain sight in the ratings themselves, go have a look. Here’s another article from an apple friendly source https

The best part is how Apple Podcasts had a 1.x star rating in the App Store so they gamed the system in a way that would get any other app kicked off - they prompted people for reviews making them think they were rating specific podcasts and

For the record I don’t believe Apple is collecting that info - having said that I think the biggest issue with Apple is that it is not possible to fully audit and determine what they collect and what they don’t. Just because they aren’t con

Computer Vision is a domain and is not equivalent to machine learning. They overlap yes, but not necessary. Again though you have completely ignored my point again and again. The authors ignorantly conflate specific applications of ML with

I didn’t say they were uneducated but an audio hardware engineer does not imply a good working knowledge of industry trends in ML applications. Regardless, my point still stands, they completely ignore (willingly or ignorantly) that human l

Not as a rule though - so many ML systems are utilizing data that is streaming in from passive sensors or transactional streams and is not human curated at all. The human aspect isn’t an intrinsic property of ML or even these algorithms onl

I think there is a good faith discussion though to be had about whether or not this could select for more deadly traits, no? That is certainly my first uneducated but good faith question that comes to mind after the past few years we’ve all

If there is selective pressure preventing spread, mutation would seem inevitable. Covid has mutated many times already. The question is will the mutations this selects for make a flu that is worse or will does it wall off all possible mutat

That is heartbreaking for sure. I think OP is trying to say or raise the possibility that the alternative could be much worse on a population level scale. I certainly have the same question but no background in this area to know myself.

The problem is that distinction isn’t made clear in the actual law - which is again - why meta is far from alone here even in the gaming space itself. It’s on the EU to clarify compliance here otherwise we will continue to have stories pop
