As opposed to, what, facts that aren’t true? Those aren’t facts at all.

Doesn’t insurance generally exclude acts of dog?

Of course, Apple doesn’t want to give up that much access to a competitor. Never mind the privacy implications. Could you imagine if a rogue actor got into the system-level of your iPhone, disguised as an AI assistant? That would be a huge headache and nightmare.

This article seems rather a bit biased. Apple didn’t give their reasoning for it, and it seems presumptuous for Maxham to provide that reasoning, when it’s unfounded.

It also doesn’t seem like that big of an issue. Just have the assistant program run through the same permissions as a regular app, rather than as a system app, where you have to set the permissions you want to give it.

It also wouldn’t be Apple’s fault, any more than it would be their fault because you saw on Facebook that your iPhone had wireless charging, and stuck it in the microwave. People should be allowed to break their own devices. That’s part of the risks of owning something, where things can just break if you use it wrong.

Vivaldi still supports Manifest V2, doesn’t it? So you should be able to put UBO on it as well.

Mozilla, the company that recently added a “disable AI” toggle to Firefox?

It’s not as good as not implementing the things in the first place, for people who don’t want it, but making it a paid model for removing features would net them more flack, I feel. They’d be accused of trying to squeeze their user base, when Firefox is traditionally free.

Or they rebrand it, and pull the “lifetime is only to the end of the product lifetime” trick.

I feel like this comment could at least benefit from a rough explanation of what Eternal September was. Someone unfamiliar with Y2K isn’t likely to be familiar with the term.

Back in the day, it used to be that every September, there would be an influx of new users on the internet, BBS, what have you, every September, because of the school/uni holidays. Because they were unfamiliar with internet etiquette, they’d be confused by the existing terminology, or be a little annoying to the existing users, by not being familiar with the culture there.

Eternal September was a point where every day on the internet was September. There would always be people new to the internet on it, enough for there to be a major impact.

Although, most people aren’t talking about Alphafold when they’re talking about AI. They’re usually specifically referring to the generative transformer models that are currently all the rage.

I doubt anyone would care too much about a linear regression model, or multi-layer peceptron , for example.

There was a story a while ago where a chip packet was mistaken as a gun by an AI camera system, so a bunch of law enforcement rocked up, with their own guns, and handcuffed the teenager in question

How strange, since I don’t see any button at all. It’s just the end of the page and the footer for me.

Am I missing something?

Nothing in the article itself suggests that we know what happened to the dog after it was stolen other than the headline.

The article just ends after this part:

Guo cut short his trip and rushed back to China to search for him.

Checking the archive didn’t turn up any more of the article.

I wonder how much of it might also have been to deliberately show off American wealth compared to communist countries during the cold war. Like the whole comparisons of having shelves of different brands of the same food.

Ever run an AI model locally? If you want the most capability you need a fast GPU with 32-48gb RAM. And that’s all for you, ONE user.

Even then, that’s quite small. Top of the line frontier models would be looking at hundreds of gigabytes of video memory, and just as much RAM.

A terabyte of VRAM/RAM needed for something like CoPilot is probably a fairly sensible estimate.

Or at least, diversified so it’s not only those two, and there’s a multitude of options.

A fair few countries do that, for example, with payment being diversified into other systems like Alipay, and the other QR-based payment systems. Australia has EFTPOS, HK lets you use your Octopus to buy things in addition to paying for the train fare.

Otherwise, you’d be in trouble if MasterCard/Visa decided that they didn’t like something you did very much, so you’re barred from their services.

Its the most soul crushing thing to be looking for a job right now, anything to make you stand out of a crowd is ignored, volume of applications and adherance to posted requirments are the only way to get a fleeting interaction with a human.

Or none at all.

The advice is not helping either, since you’re told to both make your resume and cover letter stand out, but also to make it generic so the automated system doesn’t parse it wrong and disregard it.

It’s also decent for people who want a low-power MacBook for cheap, but don’t need a lot of bells and whistles, without the limitations of an iPad.

Wouldn’t even need that. Just give it a mid-way complicated pile of nonsense with reasoning on, and it’ll be crunching on that for the whole day, burning money to do so.

From the sounds of it, the newspaper is being deliberately misleading to drum up something or other.

But developers are also customers of valve. And this is arguably where valve makes their money. They take a cut from the developers sales. Devs cannot just use a different platform without cutting out a huge userbase. This gives valve a real monopolistic control over developers.

Can they not? I was under the understanding that developers aren’t limited to steam. They can use any other platform in addition to it, the main restriction being that they can’t sell the game for cheaper on platforms other than Steam.

There’s also Syncthing Tray’s experimental android interface. You either need to install from apk, or use something like obtanium, but it may be less flaky than Termux.
