Why is this story from months ago suddenly news again? I’ve seen it 10 times today.
Artificial intelligence built upon real stupidity.
I bet the zebra on the right can get away from predators faster thanks to its quick response.
Google blocked it.

As a GrapheneOS user, It would be nice if they made it available to their android platforms first.
I hope they’re just patenting this to prevent other manufacturers from doing it.
I remember using Xiph’s integer implementation of Ogg Vorbis on my Nokia N-Gage (Symbian S60). I wonder if it’s not a priority for Opus. IIRC, Opus is floats all the way down.
update: it exists.

Even if you can’t cleanly remove it, you can probably delete a few system files and break it. It’s not like the whole thing will be baked into kernel32.dll.
IPv6. Stop engineering IoT junk on single-stack IPv4, you dipshits.
Ogg Opus. It’s superior to everything in every way. It’s free and there is absolutely no reason to not support it. It blows my mind that MPEG 1.0 Layer III is still so dominant.
I love this standard. If you dig deeper into it, the standard also covers a way to express intervals and periods. E.g. “P1Y2M10DT2H30M” represents one year, 2 months, 10 days, 2 hours and 30 mins.
I recall once using the standard when writing a cron-style scheduler.
I also like the POSIX “seconds since 1970” standard, but I feel that should only be used in RAM when performing operations (time differences in timers etc.). It irks me when it’s used for serialising to text/JSON/XML/CSV.
Also: Does Excel recognise a full ISO8601 timestamp yet?
I hope salary man gets the break he deserves.
I know about that one. The 800MB “fix” for it has been crashing machines quite hard.
I don’t have that problem because I don’t run Windows.
Windows is shit.
IPv6 should not be disabled under any circumstances.
In fact, many devices in my house have IPv4 disabled. Disabling IPv4 on my public-facing SSH reduced the attack traffic to zero.
IPv4 is shit.
Public-facing: Password generator, stored in a password manager.
Internal LAN: Everything gets the same re-used, low-effort password.
Nobody is going to hack my CUPS server.
This sounds like an improvement, if anything. I know I’m opening a file I downloaded. I don’t need a warning. I need it to execute, because that’s the instruction I gave.
So, Disney+ gift cards carry no value at Disneyland, but the Disney+ death waiver does?
I tried to do the same thing at Franz Josef glacier earlier this year. I didn’t even get the glacier in shot.
This is because AI is usually used to reduce the human cost to the company, and rarely to reduce the human labour for the customer.
That, or mass surveillance.
