I'm not sure what configuration you have, but this does not send requests to Siri a-la the "cmd-cmd <type to siri>" flow.

Yep, exact same experience here. ZuckOff is paying to rank above NearbyGlasses. I think these concerns are on topic, given the larger concern is about how bad actors can wield technology for profitable surveillance.

There is precedent among English speakers for "dub" or "dubya". George W. Bush is something referred to as "dubya", for the "W" part. And modern slang "W" or "dubs" as shorthand fo

This sounds like speculation based on a few viral instances. Can you provide any sources? The moon problem you're describing was attributed to a 2023 Samsung, which was using neural upscaling. Can you provide a source describing this f

This is a BBC article about the UK being at war. Not the USA. That said, it argues that the various pre-war preparations fail to include "psychological preparedness". I think this is largely true for America as well, since war is

I want to stress this isn't something I measured. There are just these noticeable lags before the sigmoidal animation starts when, e.g. opening a folder. It's on top of the latency inherent to the animations of sliding, wiggling,

Just anecdotally, increasing the blur seems to have an associated performance cost, especially in Springboard ("the home screen".) It's probably only ~100ms for each interaction, so it probably won't impact latency-insen

Yep; this has been the case since the very first iPhone, it can't be disabled, and there is no feedback it happens other than the typos. It is very crazy making and mind boggling.

Yes, I am talking about working professionals who use LLMs. Before this thread, I would have considered it surprisingly and singularly naïve if someone told me they trusted OpenAI. I still believe the common and correct take is that these c

The impression I have (from interacting with people IRL using OpenAI and Anthropics offerings, and how they feel about the risks involved) is just the opposite. But we probably just have different life experiences.

I don't have any much exposure to the attitudes people have around them, and I haven't worked with them. So I can't really say

I thought this was commonly accepted to be the case that companies which sell access to LLMs are also storing and training on the inputs? I don't mean this as rhetoric, I did not think many people (except possibly those operating under

I organize mine into roughly three boxes by how common they are. One for every-day cables (like USB C), one for the stranger cables (like USB-B 3), and one for the one-offs (like a Nintendo DS cable). It's the easiest to actually keep

Think about it as 25% who disagree to only 11. Less than half of the people who thought corruption is not widespread still think so. Further, the US is now the #1 ranked country in corruption. I think it's more useful to think about th

Yep. First time I saw this idea was Animal Crossing: Wild Word's "rolling log" effect in 2005, albeit in reverse. (So you get a top-down view and a horizon view at the same time). Second time I saw this specific idea was a Mi

Right? It's really concerning how much traction "ZOG" seems to be getting. It's literally true that most of the US government is Zionist. But "Zionist-Occupied Government" is an antisemitic conspiracy theory us

I'm an ML developer and researcher and I left X. A lot of us did and do believe neural networks can provide utility for humanity. There's just a lot of money in drinking the AGI LLM VC WN koolaid. Not everyone has drank that koola

As others have said, this is broken in some contexts too. I also get blocked by a popup on mobile. I only get "See this post in the app" with "Use the app to view all comments and discover more posts." with only an &quot

For one of the big use cases, you can look at the NCMEC's reports-by-ESP numbers. For example, X has 816K and X AI has 135K reports. Reddit, despite having 200M (36%) more MAU, only has 65K reports. OpenAI, despite having about 8x MAU

I think we should leave this kind of argument for schoolchildren denigrating one another and for the deranged people who will dole out verbal abuse to defend their favorite platforms and/or CEOs. This is not one of "those situatio

Microsoft is serious because the world is full of people with needs who do not know better and Microsoft is still the default to serve those needs. Something does not have to be useful, benign, consistent, worthwhile, or deserving to exist

I'd clock this as an AI website with no question whatsoever. Everything comes in punchy threes. I don't need to know what "早い・旨い・熱い" means in order to smell it for what it is.

I think we're talking past each other. You are largely not understanding the point I'm saying. I agree that Python, as a shell and scripting language, will have different ergonomics and tradeoffs compared to Bash. The point I am m

by lynndotpy 2mo ago
I basically agree with these tradeoffs (you should never be pulling in dependencies outside the builtins), but let's look back to GP: > Comparing the shell to C, Go, Rust, Python, or JavaScript is crazypants. It has a different job

by lynndotpy 2mo ago
Yes, someone who has no idea how to use their shell and tries to get around by making arbitrary guesses will suffer. This is true for bash as well. It's no reason to kill yourself immediately.
