The first line of their press release: > Apple today introduced Apple Invites, a new app for iPhone If Android users have to login to a website to use this, what's the appeal? There are hundreds of simple meeting/event webapps

An innocent coincidence, by two established users that link their contact info in their profile. It must be the Russians! It's genuinely sad that this level of Cold War paranoia has been normalized again.

Yes, I would be stunned if a major mfg like Brother didn't have their own method of fingerprinting.

Fine, whatever. It's actually much more concerning if the overall information landscape has been so curated by censors that a naively-trained LLM comes "pre-censored", as you are asserting. This issue is so "complex&qu

5 years ago I would be more sympathetic to this proposal. But now we have LLM copilots, so writing boilerplate in any language is dramatically more optional. And I don't see this proposal significantly improving readability of the code

The way we stop making this worse, i.e. reducing our trade deficit with China and in general, is by doing virtually the opposite of what Washington is currently doing. Rebuild the republic instead of wasting everything on hopeless adventuri

Much of the American economy is already at China's mercy, due to the $500,000,000,000+ in goods we rely on from them annually. Hospitals running out of medical supplies will hit WAY sooner than your existing 4090 needs to be replaced b

Is this the same scam as "standard SQL"? Switching database products is never straightforward in practice, despite any marketing copy or wishful thinking. Prometheus ecosystem is very interoperable, by the way.

A country targeted in an ongoing hybrid war by the world's #1 superpower would have a (relatively) extreme response to a pandemic that originated in an epidemiologically interesting location deep in their inland territory, and that e

The naming of "rand_a" and "rand_b" in the spec is a bit misleading. They don't have to be generated randomly. I'm sure there's a historical reason for it. "extra_" or "distinct_" would
