>They are saying that this result will not resolve the disputes, because it doesn't address the core thing in dispute: that there are meaningful differences that people actually care about. That's not their claim. Their claim i

I believe this is a clue to where the GP post is coming from: we can't, therefore the study must be flawed.

Whoops, yeah you're right. I forgot for a moment that people who buy one of these things are probably posting everything that they do with it.

I know what you mean, but there are plenty of mundane and labor-intensive tasks in art too. Ever try to make background characters or landscapes for a video? It's stuff that nobody pays attention to, but it still has to look plausible.

That means that for the 9 people interviewed that returned the devices, Bloomberg would have had to contact 900 AVP buyers just to find those 9 (1%). Either that, or the ratio is off.

Who is "they"? The content creators that you allude to are not the people in the article.

There will still be a job for animators, at the very least. They'll flesh out the armature (skeleton) animations, and AI will paint over it, like a style transfer. Imo human-driven animation will stay around for a bit longer because of

It's funny that this post is considered dupes of those 2, but those 2 are not dupes of each other.

I'm sure you can find conflicting information, but here is a data point that aligns with my own experiences: "Human contact is becoming a luxury good." https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/23/sunday-

Collecting patents is not proof of a great idea. Exhibit A: Google's patent on a "sticky car" that is covered with adhesive, to stick to pedestrians when you hit them https://patents.google.com/patent/US9

The AVP is one of the most out of touch products I've ever seen from a respected brand, and I can almost hear Steve Job's scathing criticisms of it, based on everything I know about him. Not to mention, it goes against the increas

The creation of the Vision Pro, and now this direct assault on the open web, makes me believe that Apple is no longer has the vision to lead the industry effectively. It's a shame because it has enormous momentum behind it, which means

See my edit above, I never said "a few pennies" or "a few cents", I said "cents" intended as a relative contrast to "millions." We don't know how much a company is worth if it is expected to be i

No need to be condescending about it. I mentioned the Simpsons because the author referenced the Simpsons.

It's like the Monkey's Paw from the Simpsons: you can have a program that understands what you mean, but you can't understand how it really works. It's just another tool in the toolbox. Personally, I think we've rea

A social contract is not defined by a LICENSE file. Developers are under no obligation to create new software for a hostile company's products. Let's see how many vision pro apps get created if Apple keeps shitting on open standar

I don't mean to imply that the OSS maintainers are owed anything, because I don't believe that. There is still a social contract without anyone being owed anything. You haven't really given an example of why you don't th

The social contract has been that these big companies benefit from the free work of open source maintainers, and they continue to work together to support open standards. This latest maneuver from Apple, while well within their rights, is a

>PWAs aren’t really in Apple’s financial interest to begin with, so f-it Translation: Apple hates developers who believe in open tech, despite being built on mountains of foundational open tech, like every other company.

The amusing thing is that on-homescreen PWAs were the only way iOS supported web push notifications. They could 100% do it in the browser, like every other browser does. But they won't, because they're openly hostile to open web t

The people that gravitate towards positions of unrestrained power often seem to have an authoritarian bend. If there's an opportunity to use their power to be a hero, that will scratch the itch, but in the absence of that opportunity,

The next time you see someone romanticizing the aesthetics of some antisocial behavior that you find repulsive, then you'll know how it feels to be on the other side of this discussion.

by throwaway49849 3y ago
You're romanticizing violent antisocial behavior into some kind of art form. Maybe you should see this from the perspective of a young family trying to raise their children here.

Wouldn't the AI-generated query need knowledge of the CTE that will be wrapping it? How would the CTE prevent arbitrary joins, or access to tables that use the fully-qualified `schema.table`? And couldn't somebody execute any arbi

I see. Just so I'm clear because this is important, if I set the confidence threshold very high, does it mean that my customers cannot create a malicious query? I don't want them deleting data or accessing rows that they're n

The existence of a budget is NOT proof that the expenditures in the budget are priced accurately. If it was proof, then there would never be instances of companies defrauding the taxpayer through government contracts.
