In plenty of big companies one month is not even enough time to get a new release into production, let alone test and fix the layouts.

> some of the bigger apps to switch to the Liquid Glass Interestingly, Instagram decided to implement a custom liquid-glass like tab bar which surely now turns to be a PITA.

Yeah, good luck with that.

Finally! So we have a little over a month between getting the simulator and first customers running our apps in Duo. I expect that most apps will look rather broken on release, but it will be smoothed out eventually.

Doesn't Tokyo have very low unemployment? According to Wikipedia: Japan 2.5%, Singapore 3.2%, USA 4.1%, EU 5.2%. I expect Tokyo is probably even lower than the national average. Visiting just as a tourist it seems like Japan is quite g

No, you don't need maglev to compete with a ship sailing from NZ on speed.

I tend to fly cheaply with multiple transfers/layovers. What I figured out recently is that it is nice to combine the flights in such a way that one of the layovers is _longer_. When the airport has a good connection to a major city th

It works, but there is usually a noticeable difference (at least with Quest).

I remember around iPhone 6 or such popular design rumours that were circulating around turned out to be wrong. There were photos of chinese warehouses filled with cases made for the incorrect design. With iPhone 4 Gizmodo literally acquired

For me it's annoying that I cannot right-click the link and copy the actual target. They are breaking the web.

These things were obviously always concerning but I feel the situation has taken on an entirely different dimension now that they could feasibly use whisper + LLM to actually review _all_ the communication. That's crazy.

Darkness travels even faster than light on Discworld, because it has to be fast enough to get out of the way when light arrives.

It is a bit less strict than you think. It's not just about the police giving the tourists some leeway. - Alcohol is fully legal for non-muslims, even if they have residency (or in rare cases citizenship). - Unmarried cohabitation is f

So this is explicitly built for partially-contained agents who have the normal protocols/methods blocked, right?

You don't need to cancel all the noise to solve 1+1 correctly. The model in the example is non-deterministic. I don't know Penrose's view deeply enough to defend it further (view which I for the record do not share).

For the hardcore Overwatch community perhaps, but not for the general gaming community, especially if WG is about to grow further and host more and more wikis. For people who regularly get into new games its much easier to learn just one ea

Per the article they don't. > There’s a bit of light at the end of the tunnel, though - based on our experiments so far, it seems like once we establish these new wikis fairly well on Google, it should be safe to move them off weird

If you run an LLM (with temp >0) and use a true random generator for seeds, it will still tell you 1+1 is 2.

I'm with you regarding opinion on consciousness, but do you think it would be 'better' if there were no dualists and no dualist essays and ideas? Because I hardly think so. This is not like alternative medicine where there is

Don't plenty of android devices have barometers? I expect Google being Google and recording all that data unless you opt out. Would that be practical for weather forecasting or not really?
