I think GP is referring to EGA which also used address 0xA0000 but you had to program it in it a planer mode of 16 colors out of a palette of 64. VGA provided backward compatibility with this but introduced the 256 color modes with mode 13h being the linear addressable 320x200 res mode, however this mode sacrificed 3/4 of the video memory. This mode was also referred to as "chained" mode as it chained all 4 bitplanes together for convenient linear addressing. There was also unchained mode, sometimes referred to as mode-x which allowed you to access all 256kb of video memory, resize the virtual screen, page flipping, etc. at the cost of compute overhead. Lots of tradeoffs to be made in those days. Some amazing looking 16 colors VGA games were produced in the early 90s, one that comes to mind is Gods by Bitmap Brothers.
Generalization. "You guys" who? Most people actually know DMA has nothing to do with privacy. There are ways to hand off PID-stripped data to a 3rd-party.
I have dimmable lights I need the main light at 20% to read a book and it's useful to whisper to my assistant instead of walking across the room. I really don't get the comment - just because you can't envision a usecase doesn't mean it's not useful to me. Wife was a total skeptic about smart home stuff but having alexa control the bedroom lights while changing diapers or preparing bottles at night for her to switch to using it constantly.
Humans can't write code without bugs either, especially in languages like the one Linux is written in. It's not a binary though, either in terms of how involved the human is in crafting the output and how many bugs are in the code that's getting merged, so I don't think that blanket statements like "AI writes bugs" or "AI finds bugs" are particularly meaningful.
I've also more or less stopped posting my photography on Instagram because (1) my Instagram feed is now full of AI images getting 10000 likes while I get 100; (2) people instead accuse my images of being AI even though I took painstaking effort to get to interesting actual places in the world, and this is incredibly discouraging.
Using contacts has been better (for me) than the Zeiss inserts in terms of hand tracking and eye tracking accuracy. Often, I need to run a calibration step if changing between them, otherwise gaze typically targets the item below what I’m looking at, which is great for identifying one might have anger issues to resolve.
I don't see a disconnect. AI generates things that are similar to existing things but partly made up and subtly wrong, so just like how it can generate somewhat correct code it can also generate somewhat correct vulnerability reports.
Beyond 2 has almost none of the sensor suite, no eye tracking, no meaningful compute, no pass-through video, no inside-out tracking, no gesture control, and requires two to three entirely separate units set up around the room to do any outside in tracking, yet it still weighs 4-5x what glasses weigh.
Just the displays and lenses will outweigh glasses considerably and there's nothing to strip back when you're down to display and lenses. Throw in a chassis and head strap and you're pretty far from glasses in weight and ergonomics.
You want Apple to anonymize a users data, then hand that users data to a third party who knows who the user is? I don't think PCC is doing what you think it's doing.
Maybe I'm grumpy and old or something, but I wish there was only one Component library for Clojure, out of all the things this should have been the one everyone settled on.
As a Dane, it's a sad day to be european. It's been sad for a while. I find it wild that on "Hacker News", of all places, all the top comments seem to be celebrating overzealous regulation that takes away freedom of choice.
Depends no the Enterprise - obviously - in the bay area - 0% of the tech companies care in the slightest. And I'm willing to wager < 5% of enterprises would send their traffic to OpenRouter. Most of them don't even want to send traffic directly to Anthropic or OpenAI - which is why Bedrock has gotten so much traction lately.
But - these $3k-$5k/month/engineer bills are going to start to get attention soon - only question is whether the response is to slow down on the $$$ spending or reduce the # of engineers.
>Have you tried putting known human writing into pangram? I have. I've gotten 100% AI with multiple samples of my own human writing. It has also given me 50% on things I know were 100% AI written (from my prompts).
>Pangram is basically a made-up number. / I've tried it on large docs I've written well before the AI times, and that are nowhere available on the Internet (so it can't be a corpus issue) - and it is happily classifying me as 60%-80% AI.
Unfortunate there's an incentive to pay to sign up to protect oneself against false accusations.
An earlier claim in this thread stated 100% from the same tool, but another commenter claims 76%, so apparently the tool is even susceptible to that failure mode.
Weren't similar techniques already used years ago by malvertizers to hide malicious code into images published for ads so it wouldn't be detected? (although it might have been more like steganography)
One thing is sure, pinning trust on trust chains down from Root Certificate Authorities is fundamentally incompatible with our notion of trust and an almost absurd idea to start with. Most people using a browser don't even know any person from such an organization nor would or should they have any rational reason to trust them.
> If being in the EU was so great then why don't Norway or Switzerland join?
I'm not an economist nor am I an European citizen, but both of those countries have very successful and wealthy economies. It doesn't seem necessary or advantageous for them to join the EU as, if anything, introducing a second currency and new laws that are tied to many other countries' prosperity would just risk destabilization. If the situation for either country changes in the future, it might make more sense for them to join at that point, but as of the moment they have no need or widespread desire to. Last I heard, Switzerland is even voting on whether to cap their population, which would prob not fly in the EU.
If, like me, you specifically do not want third parties inside the Apple ecosystem, Apple has done a great job. I totally hate the EU's insistence of tearing down Apple's walled garden. That is a huge reason I like their products so much.
