Those are two different topics. BeMyEyes is a smartphone app which brings your camera and OpenAI vision models together. It is ment to be used to describe/OCR things in your real-world environment. While alt texts could theoretically

Well, as a blind user, I'd like to point at the OpenAI Vision integration of BeMyEyes! Being able to get fully detailed scene descriptions including OCR and translation all in one package was pretty much a game changer for me. Not so

If you are ajust a little bit critical and realistic with human endeavors, you should see that ethic industry is an outright oxymoron. Capitalism and Ethics are fundamentally exclusive. Whenever they claim otherwise, it is propaganda.

Contrary to you, I only have a subjective opinion on the matter. In the 12 years that I sometimes use SMS on iOS, I never missed anything. What is it that I am apparently not intelligent enough to miss?

by lynx23 3y ago
I can easily send SMS to any Android phone from my iPhone. I really dont understand your reasoning. IOW, SMS is cross-platform. Whats the issue?
396.
by lynx23 3y ago
The difference between SMS and iMessage doesn't really count in this context, since usage is largely transparent. Its the same app, and the same contact list.

I don't feel confident a complaint would be easy to get through. After all, my MRI example is standard procedure , good luck making a case against that. Besides, layers cost money.

Yeah, but these are rather theoretical practicalities. In the majority of cases, consent is coaxed out of the consumer. If you show up for a MRI, and you get a piece of paper with the comment "It is for data protection", almost

That is so wonderfully naiv that I had to laugh out loud. The fairytale of the manager who suddenly is fined big-time for his/her decisions is just that, a fairytale to pacify critics.

The fact that you have to use a plugin or other thecnical remedies to fix the cookie banner situation is all the proof we need to see that the EU totally fucked up. It is easy to declare that you just need to install this or that to get a

If it only were that simple. When the GDPR came out, a lot of confusion and misunderstanding ensued. Not only regarding the damn cookie banner. Even totally legitimate health-care providers started to collect signatures to be on the safe

I have a disability. Independence is a much more important topic to me then for most people that have independence as a given. Even though you might not like my attitude, I feel that way. The day I loose my independence, and other people

Disability and the need for care by others are not always the same thing. Please don't imply in your writing that everyone "disabled" needs care and financial support by family members, that is pretty much generalised patron

As someone who works in IT for roughly 30 years, and who never fell for any kind of phishing, I beg to differ. I think my interpretation of reality, as you put it, isn't as bad as you might believe. Also, all the phishing-victims I k

I doubt a single voice recording could generate speech with enough emotional depth that I'd be fooled by a fake call from my better half. Do people really have such a shallow connections to their loved ones that they wouldn't ins

Wow, so you just need to be old enough, and then people like you will come along and declare that you're no longer cognitively able to decide anything, and therefore everything you said is moot? Disrespectful paragraphs like yours are

That sounds like a Greg Egan book yet to be written :-) I discovered that it is real fun to think about these things when I read Incandescence. BTW, I am taking recommendations for books similar to that one, it appears I love that subgenr

Even if undefined were not allowed, you'd still be able to write "f :: Int -> Int; f x = f x" which would never return an Int. Totality is about getting a grip on these cases. As mentioned more elquently then I could in

Well, current results do not support your posotion. Totally out of chance, local news just reported that MINT-support programs are apparently not improving things. That is pretty much the contrary of what you are trying to claim, backed u

by lynx23 3y ago
No. Haskell has this notion of what they call "bottom", more easily remembered as what happens if you call undefined. The issue is, your function can be as pure as it wants, as long as you are able to write "f :: T -> T;

So you exaggretated your knowledge for the sake of winning an argument? That pretty much proof my point and experience.

20 year old paper. People interested in total functions should probably have a good look at Idris.

I am disabled. I am being targeted by random people who treat me like a subhuman on a daily basis. I am being subjected to patronisation on a regular basis. And I am still here, and doing my job. People like you naming me misogynistic i

Your experiences being positive while mine not so much automatically invalidates mine and makes your more valid? I believe not. I am happy that you have more positive experiences then mine, no worries. However, it is in the human nature

Well, reading between the lines it seems like you are working as a coder, given what people you know. Me is just an admin. So that alone explains the difference between our perceived stories.

After 30 years of being highly positive towards more women in CS, and only seeing a handful of actual good examples, I can't get around the observation that women by large can't be bothered with tasks where they have to go deep an

Its a rather old joke that when political correct speech is overdiscussed, one guy will ask: "Aber Führerschein ist schon noch erlaubt, oder?" (But drivers-licence is still a legal word, right?)

How can you vote with skewed "information"? Might as well just pick a card from a shuffled deck…
