Apple Invites 1 year ago

“Additionally, participants can easily contribute photos and videos to a dedicated Shared Album within each invite to help preserve memories and relive the event.”

This sounds like a great feature. Post event photo sharing is always a bit of a mess.

Another way to explore floating point representation can also be to compare rounding modes, as this can impact a lot of what is generated for floating point operations. Most systems are round to nearest even, but round to zero, round towards positive and round towards negative also exist. Bonus points if you also check results for x87 floats.

The article lacks a lot of information unfortunately, but it makes it sound like the website (distribution channel) was the only part they are concerned about, which wouldn't be classed as major.

What I'd class as major would be some third party gaining access to NVIDIA's RTL designs and source code for their drivers for current and unreleased GPUs, but this hack doesn't sound remotely close to that. Luckily.

NVIDIA supports CL1.2 and it's intentionally slow so people will use CUDA. Plain CL2.0 shouldn't bring performance improvements unless the kernels used by Blender perform things like work_group functions. Also CL2.0 will require people to specify if a WG is uniform, otherwise they must assume it's not uniform and that's taxing in some cases. SPIR-V on the other hand should be interesting to see.

Just FYI, are you aware that when you create an email the draft is also stored on the server unless you explicitly choose not to?

All of these things are just normal. It's not like an evil mastermind decided that there was the need to access your unsaved documents.

I mean, you can still get angry about it but it seems pointless since you (probably) already use all of the google services that are available.

Also, a "security researcher" should know better :)

I'd love to have scapy for Python 3. A lot of ports of it have been started but it seems none of them reached a working state.

What if I graduate in march (this year)? Can I still apply? (I would require a J-1 visa, but recent grads can get it, it seems)

My iPhone 3GS is dying, I bet there are a lot of iPhone 3G customers that are either changing phone because their beloved iPhone does not work anymore or are using their iPhone so lightly that the only application they use is Safari (no apps installed). So I guess there will be no problem at all or the problem will affect a tiny portion of the % of people that have an iPhone 3G that it will just not matter at all.

You do remember that a Samsung lawyer could not tell the difference between a Tab and ad iPad in a court, right? (thankfully a second lawyer got it right)

Phones were ugly, they were not other phones knock-offs. They were WAY different: Nokia phones were slide phones, Samsung phones were different (similar to Motorola but way thicker)

They were not lookalikes, maybe sometimes vaguely similar, nothing more.

Also, just see the thumbnail image to recall how phones were in 2007: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uW-E496FXg
