Rather !announcements@lemmy.openmw.org, !general@lemmy.openmw.org, !bugs@lemmy.openmw.org, … etc.

So much more flexibility for organizations to build structured communities!

There’s also BootCamp, which plays on same concept of alternative booting and well, literally a military bootcamp.

Internally, the bug tracker used to be called Radar before getting renamed to Feedbacks or whatever.

Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean it is not there at a discrete level. You may not like it, and I am not here to make you like it. I’m merely pointing it out as a loose reference/possibility origin.

Edit: also I’m not the only one noticing it. It was mentioned on ATP back in 2017. So there’s that.

I know; the point is that it could be both and it fits the loosely represented theme.

AirPower is not just military power of dominance, but also a power charger for Apple products.

Similarly, Apple Intelligence is not just military intelligence but also an AI product/framework for the Apple platform.

Actually kind of make sense. Apple has previously used some product names that are tangentially “military” themed — AirPort Extreme and AirPower (RIP) comes to mind. So to play on military intelligence, naming it Apple Intelligence (or lighter weight variant of “AirIntelligence”) would fit the theme.

Edit: Also BootCamp, Radar (former bug tracker name), and AirDrop. If you really stretch it, Launchpad, Gatekeeper, and Secure Enclave also has similar vibes.

Cheesy or not, the game was incredibly fun to play with the little one. It is the first game my little one 100%’ed, and will always have a special place in my heart.

Intel generally target Xeon products for enterprise servers and workstations. They usually also come with very high price tag to differentiate from retail offering. For most of us, it’s generally drooling over them for 5 years, wait until they’re out of warranty, and buy them from companies offloading servers that are no longer under warranty for a still-hefty-but-more-affordable price.

Yeah… you’re the one asking questions. I’ve not asked any.

Good luck with your life.

I’m not taking sides. I’m saying I don’t hear the similarities and there’s stats supporting it. That’s all. That’s what I said earlier. No need to take sides.

From the article itself:

The researchers found that Sky was also reminiscent of other Hollywood stars, including Anne Hathaway and Keri Russell. The analysis of Sky often rated Hathaway and Russell as being even more similar to the AI than Johansson.

I’ve watched Her many years back, and I’ve been following a lot of Johansson’s work in the MCU franchise; I don’t hear her in Sky beyond both voices being similarly aged “female” (can’t really assume the gender of the AI model) voices.

If there are statistical analyses that says otherwise, and aligns with at least some anecdotal evidence, then it isn't “very obvious”.

Also, people calling out dissimilarities from their anecdotal observations, along with statistical evidence against your personal view doesn’t equate to siding with the company, or against some popular celebrity; but rather, simply calling out their observations. This is just a discussion as to whether or not the voice is similar, try not to get too personally attached to either parties.

Launch was cancelled minutes before go.

It’s entirely possible that they’re doing AB testing. Was more of a curiosity thing and didn’t mean to come off accusatory, sorry if it did!

Editorialized title for Lemmy or AB testing? I’m seeing this for title instead:

Apple's AI plans involves 'black box' for cloud data

Shodan also has a lot of fun searches.

They have all the info, so this shouldn’t even be necessary. They should be able to just send me a tax bill/refund with the break down automatically. If I want to dispute it, then I’d have to pay the big bucks to get fancy accountants to dispute. Otherwise it should just be one less thing vast majority of the people would ever have to worry about.

So just because they don’t know technology like you do, they should be left behind the times instead of taking advantage of advancements? A bit elitist and gate keeping there, don’t you think?

Everyone have their own choices to make, and for most, they’ve already decided they’d rather benefit from advancements than care about what you care about.

After DarkSky buy out, and Apple integrating the data source into their own feed (available to developers under WeatherKit ), I haven’t found the need for other weather apps, as the default one offered everything I needed (weather condition, temperature, and air quality forecast). Aside from a quirky attitude, what else do I get with something like CARROT that the default doesn’t offer?

And here’s the reason why layman should not: they’re much more likely to make that one wrong move and suffer irrecoverable data loss than some faceless corporation selling their data.

At the end of the day, those of us who are technical enough will take the risk and learn, but for vast majority of the people, it is and will continue to remain as a non starter for the foreseeable future.

The amount of people who would pay is going to be near zero in the grand scheme of things.

Next time you’re anywhere where you could discretely look at people’s phones, see how many of them run apps with ads. Most apps will offer very cheap IAP to remove ads, but people choose to not pay it. Vast majority of the users have already decided that their time wasted on ads are worth less than whatever tiny monetary cost it would be to remove them. Same thing here: Vast majority of the users have already decided they’re not going to pay to get rid of the ads. This in turn means due to how few people who would be willing to pay, it is not going to be nearly sufficient to keep the infrastructure required up and running, as well as keep the creators compensated for creating the content.

Japan has nicovideo.jp as well. Russia has Yandex Efir (gone through a couple rebrands, Efir was the name in 2020 when we were discussing deals; it was operating under another name prior, and I think it is superseded by dzen). Off to the side I think vK also has a small video delivery presence like how Facebook has videos in their feeds. China has several platforms: Tencent Video (owned by Tencent), Youku as you’ve called out (owned by Alibaba), XiGua (ByteDance), Haokan (Baidu), and then slew of smaller ones like KuaiShou, BiliBili and that video thing WeChat tries to push. None of these are public service operated by the State, by the way. List really goes on… and I’d know, because I’ve worked in the space for almost 12 years now.

China’s great firewall aside, all these platforms are tiny in comparison, and in the grand scheme of things, and barely have any reach. In general, these regional are all taking a backseat just like Nebula and alike — if creators’ content are hyperlocal/super niche, they might be okay with smaller regional platforms; but if they’re trying to extend their reach and monetization (to ensure they have money to continue producing content), the creators’ presence on these platforms are really just auxiliary to their primary presence on YouTube.

Getting viewers to these smaller platforms is going to pose a significant chicken or the egg problem — creators aren’t incentivized to be there because lack of viewer, viewers aren’t incentivized to go there because lack of content. Worse yet, I’ve also seen situations where creators are paid for some period of exclusivity and then when the deal lapses they just go straight back to YouTube.

Real competitors do not exist, and likely will not exist for the foreseeable future. YouTube is the million pound behemoth when everyone else barely registers on the radar.

I think from a purely technical point of view, you’re not going to get FaceID kind of accuracy on theft prevention systems. Primarily because FaceID uses IR array scanning within arm’s reach from the user, whereas theft prevention is usually scanned from much further away. The distance makes it much harder to get the fidelity of data required for an accurate reading.
