An interesting point - I checked, and as far as I can tell, non-citizens can be charged with treason in the U.K, so long as they are considered under the jurisdiction of the U.K - “alien residents” for example are covered, and probably temporary visitors to the country as well. It would likely be up to judicial interpretation whether attempting the coup virtually would qualify, but I’d assume it might.

The serious take would be that this comment is too mild to qualify for treason, but one could always hope.

They are already wildly uncompetitive on account of having flubbed the EV transition, China already beat them solidly on all accounts. Why should they be given anything they ask for?

Cool. Charge him with treason and throw him in jail if he ever decides to pay the U.K a visit again, then.

So quite literally worse than a coin flip, then.

Streaming lossless audio will use up three to six times as much data, along with the higher processing demands to play them back, so there’s always a penalty involved. We didn’t invent codecs for no reason.

Based on the vibes of every internet comment field, literally everyone and their mother wants to stream lossless.

You’re right about the audible benefits however

I have no idea what they think this will accomplish, to be honest. It has the legal value of posting on Facebook that you don’t allow them to use your photos.

That’s right. The art of correctly handling savedInstanceState is unfortunately not exactly well understood

Your phone is trying to keep your battery alive. The lower the specs of the phone, then the more aggressive the OS is.

No, apps closing between switches is not a matter of battery, it’s a core feature of Android related to the management of RAM. Whenever the OS needs more available RAM, the OS will close a backgrounded app to make those resources available. This is why it happens more frequently on low-end devices - these generally ship with less RAM.

Some misguided vendors will limit background execution in incorrect ways in the name of saving battery, but the general thing with apps living in background is a story of RAM.

Interestingly enough, apps are supposed to be built to cope with being closed down due to lack of RAM and then be restored seamlessly, but this is an art that is uncommonly done correctly in the Android development space. The OS support is there, though.

Critical support to…

…Erdogan?

Chuck a bombilla filled with mate at him

That’s just a bit sloppy on their part in that case - you fix bugs on all applicable variants of the flag, otherwise you even kind of negate the Scientific validity of your results

At the scale that Google operates, you need to play it carefully with rollouts.

I think this has been happening to me too, come to think of it.

The reason you roll things out slowly is that you want to make sure nothing’s getting fucked up, in part software malfunction and in part usage metrics.

The article claims it’s partially down to Casas Particulares not being able to be listed on home rental sites, along with U.S tourists not being able to visit. There’s a video as well which I’m sure provides more reasons

On top of this, the AI jobs are paying some flat-out ridiculous rates.

Like, millions of dollars up-front in signing bonuses kind of ridiculous

Yup.

Backstory is that Kiruna is a mining town way up north in Sweden, and the mine has hollowed out the town to the degree that they kind of need to get stuff out of the way.

Some historically significant buildings get spared in the move, not all though.

Money comes from mines being a profitable affair

Skill issue. Cope and seethe

This is true. They do not think, because they are next token predictors, not brains.

Having this in mind, you can still harness a few usable properties from them. Nothing like the kind of hype the techbros and VCs imagine, but a few moderately beneficial use-cases exist.

LLMs are fundamentally unsuitable for character counting on account of how they ‘see’ the world - as a sequence of tokens, which can split words in non-intuitive ways.

Regular programs already excel at counting characters in words, and LLMs can be used to generate such programs with ease.
