More testing you still need good engineers for every native platform if you go native. We all know that AI in the hands of incompetent people is bad.

Linux: just for fun. Congrats to this release. I vividly remember playing all sorts of Linux games when I was younger. Helped me to feel not as lonely as I was.

You can even mmap a socket on some systems (iOS and macOS via GCD). But doing that is super fragile. Socket errors are swallowed.

My interpretation always was the mmap should only be used for immutable and local files. You may still run into issues with those type of files but it’s very unlikely.

Browser extension that do that require full access to the contents of the website. That’s why some people decide not to use those extension.

The AI only sees a bit of HTML plus a bunch of JS that, when executed, generates more HTML. If the AI does not run the JS it won’t see everything. During training they probably use a crawler that runs a headless browser behind the scenes to get everything a human would get.

Best way for me to get rid of my tinnitus was to get a hearing aid. In my specific case I got the Lyric hearing aid which is a totally invisible hearing aid positioned deep inside the ear canal and it is worn 24/7. It is known to reliably eliminate a tinnitus that is caused by hearing loss in the high frequency range.

Concord was actually a cash cow for all airlines who had them. The only reason why airlines stopped using Concord was because of the crash and the inherent safety issues that were found. But the actual business model worked - limited in scope but it was highly profitable.

“That said, the airlines that flew the Concorde did make a profit. Concorde was only ever purchased by two airlines: BA and Air France. While the concept of the Concorde might not have been a worldwide hit, it was certainly a good market fit for these two airlines at the time.”

Overall it was obviously a money looser because of the high development costs (paid for by the governments).

I totally disagree and don’t even know where to begin…

People are different. Some are just not “as resilient” as others. Some have mental issues. Some have other priorities in life. Some people are just overwhelmed when they have to focus on more than one thing (their own wellbeing) - which should and cannot be confused with selflessness.

Not everyone wants to accept the common conceptions of life. And that’s ok.

„ In comparison, in the context of the European GDPR, the Article 29 Working Party[6] considered hashing to be a technique for pseudonymization that “reduces the linkability of a dataset with the original identity of a data subject” and thus “is a useful security measure,” but is “not a method of anonymisation.”[7] In other words, from the perspective of the Article 29 Working Party, while hashing might be a useful security technique, it is not sufficient to convert personal data into deidentified data.“

If someone responds with “10” and fails to answer basic questions about that specific topic you know that the person is either lying or is overly confident.

It is not documented on a per method basis. You can see by looking at the name of the method that it does return an auto released instance… this convention is well documented and made ARC possible.
