Something something Apple. For what it's worth though, I agree that companies _subsuming_ others to obtain complete vertical market capture has been a very dangerous trend.

I have to imagine with the event occurring after its training cutoff, a question like "who's the president of the United States?" could have confidently returned a now-outdated answer. They probably saw it as a cheaper fix to

Claude Design absolutely loves creating phrases like "Share the thread, not the PR". The amount of "do the xyz, not the abc" subheadings on docs in my workplace has exploded in the last 6 months, and it gets a bit tiring

If they focused on keeping search results genuinely high-quality, I think the outcome could have been very different. Basically everyone I know slowly began shifting their questions to something like ChatGPT because Google search results we

The prosecution would argue that you ought to have warned officers about the duress pin since this wasn't a robbery scenario.

Unfortunately I don't think modern consumer CPUs are physically capable of addressing enough RAM to even load the model into memory. We'd have to wait for some random person to make an extremely quantized version before we could r

That doesn't change the fact that there is a lot of Angular out there. No one's doubting how useful Next.js may or may not be, it's just a matter of fact that plenty of systems were created before it was available and not eve

I think that those two statements are somewhat contradictory of one another. But in any case, I'm curious about your decision to still use Claude for some questions. Do you find the Chinese models have less worldly knowledge, and if so

What an odd takeaway from this. The commenter attempting to point out blatant inconsistencies in the winning submission means they should have been bullied more as a child? Could you elaborate on how you came to that conclusion?

This is admittedly an aside from the content of the post itself, but... why do so many mobile sites insist on preventing zooming in and seem to share the same incredibly buggy image zooming? It's quite frustrating.

The number of critical CVEs every year related to memory safety seems to point to the contrary. The amount of "just one more static analysizer and we'll never have any bugs!" in the C++ community is honestly disturbing, along

Depending on the app, you could also get away with limited messaging such as a wheel of predefined callouts in a team game.

Although it would be much more exciting to have some world conspiracy, try to consider what that would mean. That conspiracy's so powerful it can singularly decide votes across a union of dozens of countries, and yet still feels the ne

Such systems are unfortunately trivially defeated by, for example, adding rings of colourful blocks around the edges of the image. If the scanning systems are then updated to notice rings around the image, bad actors will start cutting imag

How is it kind to imply that by not going to university, Jarred was too stupid to think critically about his own path in life? Or just this in its entirety: "Jarred was a stinky manager. Poor communication, unrealistic expectations, lo

The argument isn't to avoid calling out "bad" behaviour, it's that you can do so with a professional (or at least not actively childish) tone. Using phrases like "stinky manager" while taking multiple jabs at J

Who's arguing for that? And why is it not "reasonable" to ask for basic privacy?

They either just ban E2EE messaging or add a client-side scan of the content before "encrypting" it.

Apple is also an absolutely enormous company. Even if Valve wanted to lock in prices, they're simply too small for RAM manufacturers to notice on their radar, unfortunately.

That's true for arrays of these value classes. Scalarization would help for larger local values though, since those would avoid pointer indirection for purely local values.
