I worked on a project, prototyping these. I don't think the tech is quite there yet to recognize YOU, adjust the price on individual items, and update the tag as you walk up.

But if they could figure out how to Minority Report it reliably, they totally would.

Never understood.

• "Kids, you'll get penalized if you use AI for any of your school work. We have tools to check for that. That's cheating."

• "Kids, here's a free subscription to AI. Go nuts."

Friend of mine could afford to retire early at 55. Did much of nothing for a few years. Then one day, he decided to go back to school. He's now well on his way to a PhD in a completely unrelated field. He says it made him excited about life again.

Humans encounter a wide range of tasks as they grow up from infant to toddler and beyond. We don't have separate 'training' vs. 'inference' stages (or at least, it's a very short window). We also generalize from tasks (as the glass jar demo shows). We also appear to have different types of storage for short vs medium vs long-range memory.

We can combine a bunch of individual tasks into complex, coordinated, goal-seeking tasks and keep them around for later use. Like riding a bike, or learning how to drive, or juggle. We can recall those years later, even if we haven't done them for a long time.

Plus, we somehow have a meta-layer of 'common-sense' or 'ethics' that tells us when NOT to do something, or when we SHOULDN'T. Like ride a bike onto pedestrians, or juggle kitchen knives. Hopefully, the research will go into those areas as well.

In CalRX trial for GLP-1 meds.

No. In fact, it doesn't save water.

The WebAudio test is not the only measurement in these scripts. Inspection of the bundles found code that queries or measures:

• canvas rendering and toDataURL()
• WebGL renderer information, extensions, and shader precision
• audio oscillator and analyser output
• screen and viewport dimensions
• device pixel ratio
• hardware concurrency and device memory
• installed browser plugins
• supported audio and video formats
• WebRTC behaviour
• browser performance timing
• mouse, touch, focus, and scroll events
• device motion and orientation
• properties commonly associated with browser automation

There is also code for serialising and encrypting results, making requests to Alibaba telemetry services, and sending data with fetch() or sendBeacon().

Not sure you need all this to play audio.

A small thing keeps getting mentioned, but not explained. These things maintain a 'whitelist' of license plates they'll 'ignore.'

Why? Who is on that list? And who gets to decide what licenses are placed on the list? Are these logged and audited?

We got IMAX tickets a month ago. Just saw it last week. Predict there will be a lot of award nominations.

• 1️⃣ Start screen recording yourself 🎦
• 🦟 Fix the bug and write up the PR, except...
• Throw in a lot of gratuitous emojis 🎉🏆🤝 -- em-dashes -- and "On the other hands"
• 📤 Submit it
• When they come 😡 screaming at you about no-AI, just show them the video 😎
• All their outrage will be spent on accusing you of using 🤖AI.
• Where it all started will be forgotten 🥳
• Profit 🏆

It's not just Flock: https://deflock.org/identify

Any cities dropping Flock may well just switch to a similar vendor doing the same thing.

This guy fingerprints.

(hopefully in a good way)

The next morning, they found out they didn't agree on their selection of residential building materials.

That's when the trouble started.

Ftwang!

It was a 'cult revival' a few years ago. The only movie I ever walked out of. My buddy stayed and says he enjoyed it:

Kull the Conqueror: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kull_the_Conqueror

No big. Guess I'll have to wait another year before upgrading my laptop. Sorry for the loss of business.

This isn't literally about Manga.

France has a long history with Bande dessinée, aka graphic novels. Like Asterix, TinTin, Gaston, Lucky Luke, etc. Their version of Comicon is a massive annual conference in Angoulême: https://angouleme.org/en/comics-festival/.

There's already a whole ecosystem around Asterix: movies, theme parks, conventions, etc. Not as much around the other characters. What Macron is likely talking about is taking outside investment to jumpstart other ecosystems, including popular Japanese manga series. This is all about increasing foreign tourism.

I found a large, cartoon, vinyl cut-out of the solar system, with phosphorescent stars on it. It came in layers and had to be assembled against a black cardboard base. Took forever to put together. Drilled holes and mounted it all on the wall next to the crib. Kid was old enough to stand, but not to walk.

That night at bedtime, I 'lit' the stars with a strong flashlight. We turned off the lights. It was so cool! We loved it. The kid loved it.

Woke up the next day and EVERY single star and planet within reach had been pulled off and shredded to the ground. Lesson learned, you little shit.

Outstanding!

That nun should be hired as a spiritual pitching coach.

Wow. Totally missed the Qualcomm acquisition.

Mojo is a pretty ambitious project. But they need to figure out how they fit into the latest, fast-moving pipelines. The one niche they would be perfect for is local, high-speed, on-device inference.
