In a way this is how AI can help us return to doing things for interest, pleasure or creativity. Now my hobbies and experiments don't need to make money, some might, but I don't have any pressure to only allocate time to things th

This is a consequence of publicly listed companies. They can't just go and eliminate a giant revenue stream because it would be morally right to do so. They need a court or a law to force them to do it, otherwise the board will be remo

"Artists traditionally" is doing a bit of heavy lifting here. Neither artists nor art teachers explain a concept that all colours can be mixed from RBY primaries for the simple reason that the jig is up the moment they start paint

Ah that's interesting then. My guess would be that it doesn't close the iris as much then. However the linked does show 16% reporting dim vision, so there's some further work needed there (pupil size varies across the populat

When in a pinch, one can make a tiny pinhole with their fingers for a similar effect. It comes with the same downside: reading in low light is difficult. For pinhole intraocular lenses these are implanted in just one eye for the same reason

Basically nothing: The angle being taken here seems to be that private or secret information was leaking out onto the web like a security flaw. However that's clearly not the case as the user was already making the active choice of sha

AI could also help us to coordinate ourselves to meet our friends and/ or strangers which we might get along with. That also happens to be the shortest path to addressing loneliness rather than trying to replace humans. This isn't

And a big thumbs down to Google Maps, that when presenting a location on the web, that's already being shown, it will cover it with a pop-up heavily steering the user to download the app.

I am particularly incensed by governments that require citizens use apps to access their digital services. Especially so in the EU, where on one hand they're annoyed at big tech, and on the other they're forcing citizens to be cus

Relative to the apple hardware, the nvidia is high powered. I appreciate that English is your second language after your Hungarian mother-tongue. My comment reflects upon the low and high powered compute of the apple vs. nvidia hardware.

It's 1. It means that a developer can use their relatively low-powered Apple device (with UMA) to develop for deployment on nvidia's relatively high-powered systems. That's nice to have for a range of reasons.

Though Apple’s current level of web app support is sufficient to build those kinds of titles as web apps, but we aren’t seeing a web app gold rush, and even if there was zero web app support - why not develop one anyway so Android, Windows,

Considering Apple isn't even a go-to choice for gamers, the idea that iOS's minority market-share is holding back Windows, Android (and even macOS), is nothing short of farcical b/s-ing. Heck, most developers don't even

The only "feel" is pretending that these rules don't have a protectionist outcome. It's -widely- observed by economists, and even the EU's own statements include language that infers protection of local industry. Th

Yes it's a bit odd that the article poses the question if this will help or harm credit seekers. The point of the system is to provide transparency. What does need to happen however is that these inputs are properly weighted such that
