The mini was released six months after the SE2 was released, which many SE1 owners holding out for a new smaller iPhone had already migrated to. Then Apple presented the mini in a joke-y manner in the keynote, didn’t do any publicity afterw

I still want them to bring the “tap” operation of the first two generations back. It’s so convenient, for example when wearing them under a beanie in winter. The squeezing and swiping controls aren’t an adequate replacement.

The list price is different in the US. Apple may be trading off lower margins in the EU to keep it below the psychological 2000 mark.

The Razrs are significantly larger, heavier, and wider than the mini. And they add the complication of a flip phone. Not really comparable.

This has some interesting features, but also a number of questionable decisions. The inner front camera placement is awkward for non-camera use, because despite being under-display won’t be completely invisible (as some shots in the present

Modern foldables use ultra-thin glass (UTG). There’s a factory-installed screen protector layer on top which can make it feel plasticy.

What can be confusing is that the statement "for every x in {}, it doesn’t hold that <anything>" is always true as well.

You can always just connect your laptop (or some spare laptop) to the TV via HDMI. Not sure why you’d need to “hack together” something. A dedicated HTPC is nicer if you want to use IR remotes and the like.

It’s actually the judiciary you’d bring it up with, I believe.

Rather than publishing the decoder and/or encoder, it would be more interesting to publish how the decoy scheme works in detail. We want to understand how things work, not blindly use tools that we could build ourselves based on that u

Yes, I agree, it’s unclear how the EUPL requirements would propagate for a composite work that gets relicensed under the compatible license, without changing the latter.

I’d like to have more information about what “offered” means here. I’m sure that regular email and hosting providers have been used by terrorists without being designated a terrorist organization themselves.

The EUPL obligations still apply, unless they specifically conflict with the other license. There is some dispute on how exactly that is to be interpreted, but hopefully it will be clarified in version 1.3: https://interoperabl

This isn’t the intent, and will hopefully be fixed/clarified in version 1.3: https://interoperable-europe.ec.europa.eu/collection/eupl/di... A “conflict” is intended to mean the case that following some EUPL

People shouldn’t pass off largely unedited AI writing as their own, but I’d much rather live in a world where that writing would be of high quality in both form and content, than in the world we live now. In that sense, lack of disclosure i

I disagree. The problem is not that there isn’t a mind behind the AI (a claim not everyone might agree with anyway). The problem is that the writing is pretty bad. Another problem is that it is all the same “voice”, as opposed to the indivi

> I would prefer to speak and work with him instead of Claude That’s too soft, you have to tell him that you’ll work with him but not with Claude mediated through him, and follow through on that.

You’re not. The first is vague and requires significant interpretation, the second is very clear and to the point in what it’s saying.
