Most people still use sms rather than RCS or Signal or anything secure so they don’t have to pay for the data (most plans have unlimited SMS now)

Of course, the whole country has ultra-fast fibre on unmetered connections (even on the very cheapest plans), so if you’re at work or home it’s fine. Just using data on the go is a non-starter for many

The listed languages have extra prompts attached to them though

So they don’t actively help (or event make it easy by providing clear docs), but they do still do enough to enable really motivated people

> This knowledge could be useful for security research and building developer tools that does not rely on Xcode or Apple’s proprietary tools.

Yes it could be. But if you developed it for such altruistic purposes, why tease the code?

> I’m considering open-sourcing these tools, but no promises yet!

Maybe OOP is thinking of selling their reverse engineering tools? Seems like that’s still a proprietary tool, I’m just paying someone else for it

> On devices with iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 or later, Apple modified the C compiler toolchain used to build the iBoot bootloader to improve its security. The modified toolchain implements code designed to prevent memory- and type-safety issues that are typically encountered in C programs. For example, it helps prevent most vulnerabilities in the following classes:

> • Buffer overflows, by ensuring that all pointers carry bounds information that’s verified when accessing memory

> • Heap exploitation, by separating heap data from its metadata and accurately detecting error conditions such as double free errors

> • Type confusion, by ensuring that all pointers carry runtime type information that’s verified during pointer cast operations

> • Type confusion caused by use after free errors, by segregating all dynamic memory allocations by static type

He in essence claims there is some intangible attribute of a work that defines it as art or not depending on both the person who made it and the process they went through.

It does seem like a slightly romantic notion, since for any given item you can’t know if it’s art or not just by looking at it, which seems a bit odd. But then again, I suppose there’s a reason people pay for guided tours at museums so they can learn about the history and background of a work.

Side note: the title is editorialised; it should be “The Hidden Cost of AI Art: Brandon Sanderson's Keynote”

The cats make it much more fun than a regular docs page, whilst still being a useful quick reference. I wonder if other bits of reference information could be made more interesting in this way.

So if I have code on a personal (but publicly exposed) git server with a license that includes the above quoted terms, and someone decides they want to be helpful and publish a public read-only mirror of my code to GitHub, then they’re allowed to accept that license on my behalf? I never did a thing and yet I’m now in a contract with Microsoft? How does this work legally?
