Exactly. Ask customers "do you want AI in your phone?" and their response will probably be "meh", as shown in the article. But ask "do you want notification summaries, a better camera in low light, Siri to be able to…

Then would you consider radio waves to be "light"?
As ridiculous as that is, it's not on the same level as GMC's mandatory subscription.
I don't really see the point on a physical keyboard. It makes sense to repurpose the enter key on a phone or tablet where there's limited real estate and the keyboard covers half the screen. On desktop/laptop, that…

Not exactly - Zoom stuff does a clever trick of using 2 ADCs at different gain levels (essentially the same way that HDR photography works), but ultimately it's still using fixed-point ADCs. This isn't actually a new…
Is there enough population in these counties to make any difference?
In the case of the lambda version, the compiler will fail if you forget a break statement or don't handle a possible case. Plus this way you can make x const, which can also prevent breaking other code further down. It…
This also lets you make x const
Thanks. One of my biggest bad-internet-journalism pet peeves as of late is articles that talk about a thing that exists on the internet without linking to it. I mean, I know I can just search it, but it's a dark pattern…
How is this an example of trademark erosion? Fiat-Chrysler still owns the rights to the name and would easily be able sue a competitor that tried calling their vehicle a Jeep. Sure, it's colloquially used as a…
Yeah, this is my theory too. I use Tinfoil for Facebook on Android, and it shows I have 15 unread messages. Basically, every time I open Tinfoil while I have a new message I haven't read in Messenger, it increments, and…
I'm assuming you mean instruments and microphones excepted, because many high-end recording microphones cost $1000 and up. Yes, there are legends of a few albums being recorded with only a few SM57 (a $100 mic), but…
Not necessarily. "aaaaaaaaaaaa", "password1234", and "pennsylvania" are all 12 characters, but they're all insecure. These might seem like stupid passwords that nobody would use, but if you enforce a minimum password…
It can. U2 did something similar in Vancouver - you needed to show the credit card the ticket was bought with in order to get in. It created huge lineups (a couple hours long) and a lot of fans missed the opening band…
"Engineer" is a protected title in Canada (like "Lawyer" or "Doctor", although not as strictly enforced). You can't use it unless you're a member of your province's professional engineer organization. It's incorrect to…
And punk rock songs and prog songs can be an order of magnitude apart in length.
What if I have my phone set to wipe itself after 10 incorrect login attempts, and I "accidentally" get my password wrong 10 times while trying to unlock it for them?
Yeah, creativity is hard. As Ira Glass put it: > All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s…
That only covers the mic/ground pinout, though. As far as the remote buttons working goes, assuming the info in the post is correct, it is Apple not wanting to play fair: > Additionally, Apple has patents on their TRRS…
Uhh, TAOCP predates Erlang by quite a bit. Shouldn't the headline be, "Erlang uses a Donald Knuth-like notation"?
