The whole point of the bounty is to incentivize disclosure to the software/hardware maker instead of using it nefariously or selling it to someone who will. Companies can avoid being "blackmailed" by offering fair prices for

Are you talking about on device authentication or iCloud authentication? The biometrics for unlocking are only stored on device. Your name is associated with your account, yes. I can’t tell if you’re trolling? You also haven’t said what it

When you say "own your fingerprints" what do you mean? What does it mean to own my fingerprints, and how does Apple own them?

I don’t think this comment should be downvoted because I think it’s worth addressing directly. So, no. I don’t like that. Do you think Apple is going to start buying churches? Why?

I also think it's not a showstopper for Node.js apps. For bundling in a front-end app it's waaaay too big.

Basically, unexpected behavior. One of the "footguns" is that it's easy to write to a Moment object when you mean to be reading from it. And by the way, you can mutate objects declared with `const` in JS - you just can't

I think that's right. I made this comment on a related thread but didn't put 2+2 together. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24465275

ByteDance has said publicly that they won't be selling their algorithm ( https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-09-13/bytedance... ) -- so there's no IP angle here. What is Oracle really getting

Wow! Great little demo. It sounds like there are multiple synths though -- isn't the monotron monophonic?

How about a 1px Gaussian blur? Haven't read the paper but I had the same thought. Seems way too tenuous.

I would love to be able to donate to continued development & support of this software - it's great! There doesn't appear to be a Patreon/tip jar but I'd love to contribute if there is one.

It's not really supported for Face ID - you can create an "alternate appearance" for Face ID but it doesn't work well if the people look very different. With TouchID you can register fingers from different people and it

Basecamp/Hey seems to have hit upon a combination of use case, pricing, and closedness that Apple doesn’t like. Email, $99/year, no POP/IMAP? Not allowed. But there’s no policy on paper about it.

The post states, "When we train GPT-2 on images unrolled into long sequences of pixels, which we call iGPT, we find that the model appears to understand 2-D image characteristics such as object appearance and category." This, to m

It's one thing to offer a censorship tool, it's another to specifically suggest "unionize" as a word to censor.

It's because browsers are starting to block third party trackers. Safari's doing it, and Google is planning on blocking third party cookies soon.

It's almost certain this is why Apple has taken so long to move their laptops (and desktops, eventually, probably) to ARM. The top-of-the-line iPhone has been benchmarking at or around MacBooks for the past 2-3 years.
