<p>The lede is buried at the end of this article.<p>> Later iOS 26 beta releases show Apple reducing transparency and adding blur effects for better readability.<p>This is a beta release. It is a work in progress. When iOS 7’s betas came out the reaction was similarly negative. I would suggest we wait and see what the system evolves into; by the time we get to iOS 27 I am quite sure that Apple will have found the right balance.</p>

<p>A fascinating situation is facing polymarket - Zelenskyy was pictured wearing a suit (as described by the media) at the NATO summit on June 25th but this market is still unresolved. It appears there’s lots of argument here and that this market is set to be test of the platform.</p>

<p>When I tested, you can also screenshot disney+, netflix etc. so DRM is also broken by it!</p>

<p>I appreciate that this is somewhat obvious on reflection, but I am surprised that no one is talking about it given that it breaks security/privacy flows for major apps (obviously a photo of the screen was always a risk)</p>

<p>This video[1] seems to give some insight into what the process actually is, which I believe is also indicated by the output token cost.<p>Whereas GPT-4o spits out the first answer that comes to mind, o1 appears to follow a process closer to coming up with an answer, checking whether it meets the requirements and then revising it. The process of saying to an LLM "are you sure that's right? it looks wrong" and it coming back with "oh yes, of course, here's the right answer" is pretty familiar to most regular users, so seeing it baked into a model is great (and obviously more reflective of self-correcting human thought)<p>[1] <a href="https://vimeo.com/1008704043" rel="nofollow">https://vimeo.com/1008704043</a></p>

<p>The comments on this thread are interesting. I use Laravel extensively. For big applications, serving lots of users. It works when the application is relatively complex, and the ecosystem is second to none. Need to just throw it up on a server? There's Forge[1]. A better CI/CD process? Envoyer[2]. Want serverless? Not for me, but Fathom[3] use it to deal with >100Ms of hits a day; there's Vapor[4]. All three of those are Laravel developed and maintained solutions.<p>If I'm throwing something small together then sure, I'll maybe use Flask or something lightweight[5]. But Laravel is very good for nearly every use-case where you intend to actually build something.<p>Then there's the bigger question: if you're building to meet a business use case, or well, to make money, then why wouldn't you use the most complete scaffold possible? I'd say Laravel is that. If it's too much of a pain to do something in PHP I can just stick in a call to a python file or really whatever language I want. But for the basics? A db? Auth? and lots of other stuff that I never want to personally build again? Yeah, give me Laravel everyday.<p>[1] <a href="https://forge.laravel.com/" rel="nofollow">https://forge.laravel.com/</a>

<p>The article states that "They scan an image through a thin slit up to 2,000 times a second", whereas it has been widely reported that it is actually 40,000 times a second[1]<p>The article probably wasn't wrong, for when it was first written. This is a curious internet thing - this article is a decade old and has been updated incrementally to keep it somewhat relevant, however because it's about tech that keeps advancing it ends up being a misleading source.<p>If you look at all of the sources, they're from January 2014 but because the article is undated it leads you to think it's is correct. It's an interesting problem. An old textbook is clearly an old textbook, but a website can just have modern CSS applied, dates removed and there is no apparent guide to the freshness of the article. Internet problems.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/08/05/noah-lyles-wins-gold-track-camera-omega" rel="nofollow">https://www.axios.com/2024/08/05/noah-lyles-wins-gold-track-...</a></p>
