> the tricksters from UK have long since left themselves?

This wasn’t intentional of the people who started the cogs turning, it was meant to be an empty gesture to get elected, no one expected it to actually pass.


I mean Blackberry is long gone and missed its full potential, VFX industry only exists there temporarily because of tax credits, once a better deal is offered elsewhere all that will up and leave that’s how that industry works. Not to mention AI is going to obliterate large VFX teams for a lot of productions.

So neither of these are good sustainable examples.


The VFX industry is in dire straits here

> as a term, is supposed to denote a human-in-the-loop..... But how much longer will that be true?

Why do you think Claude claims its work on git is co-authored, and now has started putting links to the transcript showing your working. It's about sending a message to the one paying your salary that all your real input in the creation was a few messages and you're replaceable in that equation.


Search on Mac has been very broken for a while, whatever they use to get the text results from files just can’t handle code, one node_modules folder and that list will just be hundreds of JavaScript files no matter what you type.

isn't the correct term Superellipse

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superellipse


According to [0], for icons at least, "no, not quite", because "Apple's exact icon outline is not a pure superellipse — it is built from carefully tuned Bézier curves that closely approximate one."

>a screen attack still works: photograph a screen displaying an AI image and you get a signed photo of a fake

you don't need to do that just photograph a screen.

This seems close to worthless in "identifying real photos vs AI" for someone actually wanting to do something bad with an AI image, although probably very useful at identifying which phone took a photo when ("the root of trust stays inside Apple's Private Cloud Compute") seen as it's not an entirely local solution a bad actor government could use their powers to completely abuse this.


its conflicting desiderata: a videographer doesn't want to constantly power a device to maintain provable continuity, but screen attacks necessitate such a scheme

a continuous stream of video from factory to customer to observation should prevent screen attacks, if there is a trustworthy framework for processing and checking the absence of screen slide-ins etc.


if geolocation data can be captured in the same signature, that would be a good enough approximation for most relevant cases I think.

GNSS signals can be relatively easily faked because the original signals are very weak so overpowering them doesn't require much broadcast power.

Jamming them is easy, replaying them so as to trick unacquainted receivers is easy, but "faking" a network of signals so as to precisely control present a specific location is not easy or feasible.

"Overpowering" (as to jam) inherently means detectable, these signals are arriving below the noise floor anyway. And if you aren't overpowering, the original signals will leak through. Also, depending on the sophistication of the receiver, your ability to present an implausibly different location may not exist at all (AGPS.)


It seems feasible for state actors, at least: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNSS_spoofing#Ocurrences

Yes, a motivated actor can move a naive receiver somewhere different than where it thinks it is by some small amount - ideally outside of the CEP of whatever weapons system is targeting, but that's much different than precisely controlling the location to be somewhere else arbitrarily.

ah, damn.

For “just a display” you need a computer in there anyway.

Not if you’re driving it from your iPhone or MacBook. You’ll still need chips, but certainly not a M series processor, coprocessor, tons of storage, etc.

Anecdotal obviously but clamshell is the only one I've known people using, but it's several who switched from iPhone to Android for that form factor and yeah it's all women which is what really surprised me they didn't go that route as I thought that was the foldable that was most successful, not the Surface Duo phone to phablet size.

It's a mistake when Apple does it too, they're back in the same situation they were with Google Maps in the early iPhone days.

> I reboot every night

The fact he did is probably responsible for a lot of issues with Windows installing and problems. Normalizing a reboot as a common thing.

I also suspect the fact he keeps re-iterating that the download was fast is because the teams have been using slow internet as an excuse for code speed problems.
