Does decrease in intelligibility correlate with the instance count of concert seats in front of the loud speakers back in the oughts?

Articles sometimes are flagged for poor or inflammatory content, but often it’s the uncivil squabbles that erupt in the comments for completely reasonable but somehow polarizing articles that triggers flagging. I think it’s seen as a regret

I think your employer has ADHD. Edit: perhaps, that sounded flippant to those consuming my karma, but that walk through of all the disjointed, scattered and abortive efforts really resonated with me as someone diagnosed with ADHD. It's

They only mentioned 4o, but they mentioned it explicitly at the start, well before they mentioned one can also tie in to their openAI account, if you have one, at the end of the presentation. To me that implies 4o by default, but I guess we

This “loophole” is prepending a url with a specific long unintuitive string, that somehow allows visiting parentally blocked urls, but is not known to have been exploited at all, aside from the researcher that discovered it. I think the iss

Okay, I'm struck that 90% of the comments in a post about Claude being unavailable are complaints that ChatGPT is unavailable. I guess that probably corresponds to the companies respective share of the market? Anyway, my tale of woe an

This doesn't seem to relate to Apple's China sales upswing. Did you just land on the first post you saw mentioning Apple just to vent?

Fortunately, it's stated further down. It's that Google charges for usage, while Apple is (surprisingly) free, and Google returns only one result, while Apple returns many. Google rate limits, Apple doesn't. Google requires a

If you were to assume a dystopian cause, you assume a bug accidentally revealed the nefarious plan, and the charitable view would assume a bug broke proper deletion of physical files when their db record was set for removal, or some such. E

Handy reference. I typically use a variant of "the suspend way," but I might try "the canonical way" one day.

It took me a couple read-throughs to understand what you meant, but yes, on-screen gaze-sensitive magnification would be amazing, I agree.

I agree with you that it was probably unintentional, and an embarrassing failure, though not malicious. I mostly like Apple products and am tolerant of their business model and practices. But I was struck by your phrasing to wonder whether

I think 16gb should be the minimum on such an expensive product, but... They can raise prices and start at 16gb, and they price low-end buyers out of the market and lose sales. The can keep prices and start at 16gb, and they convert mid tie

I think there are location based suggestions -- but (like you) I've only seen them for apps I already have installed. When in the app switcher, I believe I saw Home Depot app suggested while I was at a Home Depot. I thought that was ne

I'm not entirely sure I get the outrage about app ads in the App Store. I also don't get mad at the existence of end-caps, signs and promotions at the grocery story, either, though. It's a store. But, I'd be infuriated i

The gist was members of some GRU unit have been seen at the location of several Havana syndrome events, mainly experts in Russia have been affected, and the Russian government has reportedly given awards for the creation and use of such dir

Well, this is concerning. Phisher's are apparently targeting Apple users by phone number to inundating them with dozens of modal on-device password reset alerts, with allow or disallow buttons, that must all be dismissed to continue us

I think they're just establishing a scope for the "no evidence for," because "no evidence for" doesn't necessarily imply "evidence against" but it's often interpreted that way.

You learn to read it, or at least I did as a child trying to use a small font on the c64 when connected to BBSs, so I could see ascii art without wrapping. It takes reminders like this to realize how awash in high density pixels we are now.

I buy myself supposedly overpriced Macs and never have hardware issues, but buy family, that prefer Windows, more affordable $400-800 HP/Toshiba laptops. Over the last decade and a half, the HPs/Toshibas invariably have keyboard f

That phrasing makes it easy to underestimate the astronomical dimensions of edgecase-space, and what necessarily remains unexplored after such a fix.

I've found Apple extremely responsive when I report errors on the map. Fixes generally made in a few days. I've only used it for missing addresses, wrong street name, and bad directions, not business info, but I'd be surprise

I imagine a force-feedback exo-suit that turns you into a mime, but with sensation. It won’t necessarily give you a punch in the face, but could afford resistance and virtual heft to some virtual objects, and would have been an interesting

I don’t think the SDK is necessary for an iPad app to run unmodified on Vision, only if you want to specialize for the environment. However, I can see them maybe actively disabling their apps until they can test them, or perhaps they were b

No. They’re allowing alternate payment processing with a link from an an iOS app to a webpage, and reducing their commission to either 12 or 27% representing a 3% discount for not doing the payment processing themselves. They’re basically f

I guess know your customer laws might force partakers to fork over more than before? I’m not sure I trust my own bank, and less for this new incarnation of Twitter.
