There’s also a Base64URL variant that is a little more friendly in the modern world where the +/= often need escape sequences.
The first two are replaced with more sensible characters and the third is just removed entirely - do you really need padding?
They don’t have the capital to pursue an EV
Yes they do. It’s just they’re choosing to spend all of it on hydrogen, which the Japanese companies still think is better than batteries.
Supposedly hydrogen cars are a solved problem now, all the investment is going into infrastructure. The ability to fill your tank in a few minutes is useless if there’s nowhere to fill up.
Signal Just Works™️
Until you drop your phone in the swimming pool, and every message/photo you’ve ever received is just… gone. Forever.
Sorry but I don’t buy any claim that Signal “just works”. It’s pretty clear they care about security more than anything else even when that means making decisions that are user hostile. And that’s fine - if you feel like you need that level of security I’m glad Signal exists. But it doesn’t really align with the general public and Signal is never going to be a mass market messaging service unless something changes (Signal or the general public).
What’s weird to me is an app that excludes itself from phone backups considers SMS a valid form of authentication when a user links a device to a phone number - especially when you can necessarily link a device to a number that is already tied to someone else’s device. Like how is that ever going to be secure? Spoiler: it’s not. It’d make a lot more sense to me if users simply crated a username and shared it with other people instead of a phone number… and if they forget their password… come up with new username.
IIRC the test for being an employee, is having the employer at least controlling the employee’s schedule
No that’s “a” test, it’s not “the” test. And you don’t have to pass all of the tests.
A perfect example is the CEO of a company. They control their own schedule. They are still employees… and in most of the world you need a reason to fire them.
The ai is trained on recordings of his voice which they have not secured the rights to though.
What rights are they securing? Copyright prevents distributing copies. It doesn’t prevent listening to recordings.
Go look up mineral in a dictionary… it literally means anything solid that’s not “organic”.
So yeah iron and sodium (salt) are absolutely minerals and so is ice.
Ah - that’s got nothing to do with supported features. Apple has always been a major backer of web based video distribution - a lot of the tech (from video formats to delivery platforms like HTTP Live Streaming to the tag were partially or even fully invented by Apple.
Your video wasn’t working because the by default Safari assumes (correctly) that most video on the web is an ad. Safari generally only tolerates text/image ads* and to get video to work, you need to make it clear to Safari that the video is a real video the user wants to see.
Safari also silently blocks something like 99% of cookies… only cookies that behave like login/session/etc cookies are allowed. That’s a lot more problematic than blocking video… since there’s often just no way around it.
(* even text/image ads are barely tolerated… as far as I know, Safari is the only major browser that includes explicit support for ad blockers - Chrome/FireFox/etc allow extensions to arbitrarily manipulate the page, but safari actually has an ad blocking API - though they call it “content blocking”).
… Safari added support for HTML5 video in 2009. Chrome did not even exist yet in 2009.
In fact, Safari was the first to support it. At the time you had to use Flash to deliver video in every other browser.
Firefox added a half assed implementation of the video tag shortly after Safari but it wasn’t fully supported until 2013 according to caniuse.com. In fact FireFox was the last browser to fully support HTML5 video.
The headline misses the real controversy - they tried to cover up the incident and only reported what actually happened after the government came back and asked questions, because the reports from first responders didn’t line up with what Cruise themselves had reported.
There are also rumors of internal people who felt the cars weren’t safe, with a list of scenarios they didn’t handle acceptably. The cars really should have had human safety drivers ready to override the car while fixing those issues.
Yes there’s software for this, but I think you can keep it simpler than that.
Just tell them to create a new spreadsheet every day (possibly by creating a copy of yesterday’s spreadsheet). Obviously name the files by date. With a new directory for each month.
Also, it sounds like they don’t have good backups. Help them with that.
First of all, this isn’t a settled issue. Some people would argue Zarya of the Dawn is owned by everyone who created a copyrighted work that was used to train Midjourney. I hope these people are wrong, but it’s a legal grey area right now.
The copyright office is not an authoritative source on legal issues. For that you need to find a criminal copyright infringement court case where someone with good lawyers enters a not guilty plea and the case goes all the way through to a final verdict.
Second - if your code is so simple that you can just ask an LLM to write the entire thing for you… then who cares if it’s copyrighted? Anyone else in the world can just ask the LLM to write it separately for them. Why would they risk a lawsuit by copying your work? They’ll get a better end product by using the latest version of the LLM anyway.
t just seems like the government is sticking to the default search issue because it’s soft and they truly don’t care.
Or maybe they’re actively investigating the other issues too but aren’t ready to bring those to court yet… so they’re not saying anything which could affect proceedings.
That’s kind of the point being made in the article, though: they could succeed in the chip game thanks to a multi-decades head-start from ARM
Apple basically created ARM (look into the history of the chip design company).
Who knows, maybe in 30 years their cell modem efforts will be good enough to use. Or maybe not. I don’t think Apple really minds either way there’s nothing wrong with Qualcomm chipsets.
The C word is not acceptable in Australia.
Generally, photographers do not like to offer their services to clients through a Work for Hire Agreement
If I was getting married, I’d find one that will do a work for hire agreement. It’s my wedding, I want to own the photos. Nobody else should be profiting off them (aside from what I paid them to take the photos).
if two people use the same prompt, do they get the same result?
Usually part of the prompt includes a very large random number that is impossible to guess - so two people cannot use the same prompt. And therefore will get different outputs.
There are some tools that let you specify a fixed number instead of a random one, and in that case yes the output would be the same. But that’s not the norm.
Also the prompt is usually very complex. For example if you were to use Stable Diffusion to generate comic book images… you’d normally use a prompt that is close to ten gigabytes in size. Sure, it might include the words “cat sits on a hill looking over the sunset” but it also includes gigabytes of data that tells the model what style of drawing to do. You might also be happy with the cat sitting on the hill, but not the sunset, and can select the sunset in the image and have it draw that again with a different prompt, leaving the cat and hill untouched from the previous prompt.
I’ve been working on and off for the last month on a single image. AI doesn’t mean the human does no work at all - especially if you want a specific result.
How are you going to convince ten billion people not to use AI? You can’t do it.
Huh? It works perfectly without a wire.
It doesn’t use your wifi router, it uses a direct (peer to peer) wifi connection between your computer and the tablet, which if they’re next to each other (e.g. a laptop and a tablet), will be faster than USB.
If it’s a tower PC under a timber desk with a crappy wifi antenna, then yeah that won’t work as well as a cable. Timber is pretty effective at blocking wifi.
To me this is a potential can of worms.
Copyright is absolutely a can of worms. It always has been.
They might want to, but it’s illegal.
The “quiet period” is a reference to an SEC law that forces any company to be radio silent for a strict 40 day period during the IPO process. Reddit is in that period now and therefore they cannot say a word.
JPMorgan was fined almost a billion dollars for answering questions on a phone call during their quiet period.
