You can read the source for the integration, it lines up exactly with what I said. You can make up any conspiracy theory you want, but there's no evidence for it.

Looking at the Chromium source, PDF Searchify indeed uses this service (search for "ENABLE_SCREEN_AI_SERVICE").

This seems like a bug in the ScreenAI service? There's no evidence whatsoever for his claim that Google "trains a machine vision model on the contents of my screen". According to https://chromium.googlesource.com

It seems to be quite sensitive, down to the nanogram level. This paper has some more details: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acs.est.3c06058 Some of the authors of that paper founded Lumetallix.

Redis and LevelDB are very different, with different use cases. LevelDB is a key-value storage library that writes to disk. It's the sort of thing you could use as the storage layer for a relational database. On the other hand, Redis i

They are still using DUV for that. It will likely take at least a decade to develop EUV independently, which is needed for smaller process nodes.

Of course there is. CO2 and methane are not equally bad, methane is about 100x worse initially. After about 60-70 years the lines cross and the impact of a tonne of methane released is less than a tonne of CO2 released at the same date.

It still costs the government AUD $221.57 (minus $31.60). So it is still pretty expensive, it is just being paid for collectively.

That 10.8 wallpaper you linked looks original. 3200 x 2000 appears to be the original resolution for Lion and Mountain Lion (also note how the version on this site is cropped). 10.8 is less obvious so hard to say with 100% certainty, but if

You're off by an order of magnitude there. If 90% of billings were commission-free, that means $110 billion had Apple's commission applied to it. 110 * 0.3 = 33 billion of revenue at most, or 16.5 billion if we use the 15% commiss
