I mean a black box would just mean that no one can see it as it processes. Put things in, get things out. As long as their claims are true, this will certainly do that. Same as an onboard AI that we still don’t understand.

They’re basically saying they won’t ship off data to be processed to anyone else. Apple server hardware will process it in data centers.
There’s then a further promise that this hardware will be isolated from other things apple is doing, so that no other apple processes not related to AI will be able to see this data.
So, for instance, some other AI company might cut a deal with Amazon, get a discount on AWS processing, and in exchange, let amazon snoop through the data being processed. Or, a company might use a cheaper process in an existing data center that isnt particularly secure, and just not care if its being spied on. I’m sure there’s more likely scenarios as well, I’m not a security expert, but apple is promising to thwart any similar thing, by promising the “cloud” for AI is a unique cloud, not just encrypted or whatever, but actually physically separate from everything else
Its the equivalent of saying “this product won’t trigger your peanut allergy, we’ve built a facility that will never see a peanut, so cleaning procedures are easy and accidental contamination is impossible since this product is the only thing made in this factory.”
These are still just claims though, not facts, so we’ll see.
3.0
2.0 was windows 8.
My state banned billboards for the same reasons.
It’s a really good reminder when I’m ever in another state that things like that just… Aren’t needed.
The advertising thing is a slippery slope, and it’s OK for people to draw the line for how far down the slope they’re willing to go higher up than you would. It’s also OK that your line comfortably holds a 2-second ad.
No position here is unreasonable, and everyone should keep that in mind.
I liked tiberium wars.
One of my favorite games actually.
So, you’re pretty much spot on with how emulators work. I also like using claymation to demonstrate it, like this. Your computer bends over backwards to give the game the exact environment it expects.
What makes recompilation more than a simple script is the rebuilding aspect. I brought up claymation because it’s a great analogy for this, too. An n64 ROM is a complete set of characters, sets, and a script for a claymation movie. It’s I in one studio right now, and that studio is the N64, but you need this to be in your PC studio.
First, you have to decompile your sets and characters. You take reference photos and rip out every tree in a forest set and roll each tree back into it’s own ball of clay, with its own reference photo each time. Every little clay cobble on a road, characters outfits, hair, limbs, you meticulously separate every piece of clay that Nintendo shaped, ball them up, and pack them. You now have a million little clay balls and reference photos for every one of them. You take these back to your PC studio. Thankfully, with these reference photos, your clay 3D printer (compiler) can return these balls into something very close to their original shapes, except there’s a bunch of little mistakes. One character’s leg is slightly thinner and longer than it should be, which messes up their gait when you re-film this, so you manually tweak the leg to be accurate. The cobbles don’t quite fit the same, they’re a bit smaller, but you have extra clay because of that so you just make more cobblestones. The road doesn’t look exactly like the original, but that’s fine. The trees, again, don’t quite fit right, but you’ve made similar trees in your studio before and you know those will work so you actually just use those as references instead of the originals. You get filming but this one scene just isn’t lit right, and you can’t figure out why, but you eventually figure out the N64 studio opened the blinds on their window to get natural sun in this shot, but your studio doesn’t have a good view of the sun at that angle, so you have to get a good lamp.
You face a million little hurdles decompiling and recompiling. Its almost literally reinventing the wheel. Almost all the work goes into little details that almost seem unnecessary, but there’s so many that it’s absolutely necessary. I was watching a playthrough of a recompiled majoras mask earlier today, and the Dev of this project found his way there, too, and he said it took a few days to get majoras mask to decompile and recompile, and about a year to fix all those little details that in software become lag or new bugs. So the script guy isn’t really wrong when he said he could do it fast, but he definitely wouldn’t do it right.
I think of LLMs like digital bugs, doing their thing, basically programmed.
They’re just programmed with virtual life experience instead of a traditional programmer.
The correct answer is to find someone who isn’t facing towards you and stare at their back.
Alternatively, if you put your hand on your chin like you’re thinking of something, then you can stare at your food while looking like you’re thinking, instead of like you’re sad.
You forgot Vista between XP and 7, and it wasn’t great, so the pattern holds up remarkably well.
8 felt like a mobile OS, because it was.
10 is OK. Not as good as 7, broke support for a bunch of things, really amped up the spyware feeling, but it works OK.
Then 11.
Probably still can have a computer though, it’s just not fully yours on 11.
Ah that explains that nicely. Thanks.
Yeah I’m kinda surprised they made it open, to be honest. But they did, and its in a way that can’t be retracted, so nothing depends on their continuing good behavior.
There are already 2 of them.
NACS, which is essentially the Tesla charger, was made available to other car manufacturers at no cost already, in 2022. Due to a few reasons, among them the existence of Tesla superchargers already deployed, a lot of companies have adopted this as their charger for newer cars.
Even if Tesla went down completely, their charger is already open, so nah I don’t expect any changes based on this.
Which is why they suggested finding an organization/association, not an arbitrary website.
Funnily enough, chatgpt should be able to recommend some great associations. GPT-3 doesn’t even have up-to-date databases so it doesn’t even know about any new AI things that have popped up.
So find a real group of people, ask them things.
Obviously using it as a thin client for this MacBook, duh.
I got them so I could listen to audio books without actually ignoring my kid, who was 3 at the time. Couldn’t not hear her world if she decided to get up to something. 10/10 for that.
I also loved them being hidden under my hair. Its rude to have headphones in a conversation, but this isn’t rude, with them silent I can hear as well as without headphones.
Aa for dual-pairing, I had your same issue with shokz, but I found out it was Windows with the issue. Shokz switches based on who it hears playing audio and Windows likes to keep “playing” audio at 0 volume instead of properly not sending audio. It’s an issue that’s pretty irrelevant for most things, but it means Shokz never feels that there’s only one audio source at a time, after its connected to a windows computer once. They worked fine when I paired them to my android phone and an iPad to test things.
I really think that everyone really had trouble with the DS microphone rather than the flute challenge itself. It came pretty easily to me but I doubt I’m a particularly expert mic blower, so I can only think my mic was a fully functioning one and people like you got a much harder challenge.
But can you convince it to report itself for its violations if you phrase it like it’s a person?
There are better ones out there, that one in particular had some iffy reviews about voltages, but yeah they definitely exist.
I usually see them labeled as “power supply adapter for [AA,AAA,etc]”.
Your wall outlet is AC but a battery is DC, so a pure wire setup is not so much a safety thing as it is just incompatible. A good fire starter.
So you’ll have to convert it, which makes for a big, bulky plug.
On top of that, you’ll need prior knowledge of the battery layout, including whether they’re parallel or serial. Usually parallel, but not a guarantee.
All of this isn’t insurmountable, but is enough to make it not the norm. They do, in fact, already exist
Well they remembered the plot of Frankenstein and boldly applied it to reality to become afraid of a new thing.
