The quality of the maps is getting better, much more useful and detailed than Google Maps. I find it much easier to locate myself on Organic Maps than Google Maps. For example parks are only a green blob on Google Maps, while benches, walking paths, drinking water points, toilets and other landmarks and buildings are visible on Organic Maps. I find that adding transit lines or cycling routes as an overlay is also a great feature. Even the search feature is getting broken on Google Maps, when making a search, it would show up advertised results (in red squares instead of red circles) and when browsing the map there are more advertised useless places surrounded by an almost empty map. The only advantage of Google Map is to find the best way from point A to point B and places reviews.

On my Pixel phone I always leave enable the "Top Shot" setting, it saves a short low resolution video clip in the XMP/RDF metadata of the JPEG file. It saves motions that are not visible on a still image adding valuable information. iPhones and Samsungs have similar settings.
This is a weird application for such sensors. The train may be used as a test platform. DARPA launched a program to develop quantum sensors that are reliable outside the lab recently [1].

How does it differ from cameras used in capsule endoscopy [1]? The technology has been available for 25 years and is widely used (4 millions units sold in 2024).
I would say that you are persistent if you keep getting rejected but keep improving but using feedback and you would be stubborn if you don't change a thing while keeping being rejected.
Most likely, a glorified black monolith brick like Ive loves them, without any display or a really small oled. Or a stick, like a pen you can clip on your pocket, but the battery may be an issue.
Indeed, the 90 days delay leaked in the morning before being denied and at the end of the day there was the official announcement. So some people new before the official announcement and shared the information.
I don't think Android does that. It's only Google Photo and only if you upload them to the cloud, if you don't sync/upload them, you can't search them with specific terms.
For everyone interested on technical details of the TSMC EUV process I would highly recommend this CCC talk [1] (From Silicon to Sovereignty: How Advanced Chips are Redefining Global Dominance).
Bipedalism is great to evolve on uneven terrain. Here it seems to just slow the process. Also, it uses its second hand for balance instead of achieving work, a counter weight would be as effective. In a factory, where the floor is flat, a human sized self moving robot 2 or 3 wheels would be way more effective, longer arms with more joins that are not mimicking humans one could also be better. There is already a lot of automation/robots in industry and it never look like a human. Even in our houses the best approach to automation never look like a human (eg. vacuum cleaner). I think that the only part of our body that would worth copying is the hand.
Can LLM/AI have the opposite effect?
People would start writing more and getting better at it with the help of LLM. This would create a positive feedback loop that would encourage them to write more and better. LLM should be used a tool improve productivity and quality of output. Like we use a computer interface to write faster, move and edit text, instead of using a pencil and an eraser, today you can use a LLM to improve your writing. This will help people to get better at organizing their thoughts and think more clearly instead of replacing the thinking.
How does CLIP compare to YOLO[1]? I haven't looked into image classification/object recognition for a while, but I remember that YOLO was quite good was working on realtime video too.
Why adding and then removing HTTP headers of a existing request for routing instead of adding a dedicated (custom) routing protocol above the HTTP stack? This would allow to just drop the added protocol on the outbound and be much more space efficient.
By the way, because a lot of people are keeping their crypto on exchange, would it be possible for an exchange to have fractional reserves like for banks? It is probably doable for big exchanges as trades happen on a platform they control anyway and crypto only goes out when a customer sends money to an external address. They may be able to keep only a third of customers account balance and still operate as usual.
This is probably the majority of cases, but it is beneficial to the organization, similarly to the Adams's Smith invisible hand.
The only portable keyboard that I enjoyed using is the Think Outside keyboard [1]. It is a great compromise between portability and usability. But a lot of shortcuts are not working on moderne devices. It even works as a stand for the phone. But it uses 2 AAA batteries. I wonder if it would be possible to flash it to work with modern devices or even better, customize it.

Indeed, this is very 1984. Changing the meaning of a word, people express their thoughts with emojis, the meaning (representation in this case) should never be altered in such way.
Don't be fooled, it is a "embrace extend extinguish" strategy. Once they have enough usage and be the default standard they will start to find any possible ways to make you pay.
I think one way for an intelligent AI can gain control over humans is not to exterminate them but to control them, influence them without them being aware of it, changing the recommandation algorithms, producing educational material, videos, podcasts, books that would be pro AI while saturating our monkey brain with mining-less entertaining content. We would become their servant without noticing.
Adjusted for inflation, $1000 of 1983 is more than $3000 today.
I should have made my point clear, but I'm referring to the tracking compatibility feature, that an airtag would be compatible for geolocation with the Android ecosystem and vice-versa toward building a global single tracking network instead of having 2 coexisting networks.
You know what would be even better? That they agree on a common standard for interoperability between both systems. They both work in the similar way and do the same thing, this would be great to have a standard.
I like TUI applications, they allow me to stay in the the terminal in tmux which make everything easy and fast. Here is a list of what I use and I can think of right now:
- neomutt (email client)
- ncspot (Rust Spotify client)
- glirc (Haskell IRC client)
- newsboat (RSS reader)
- calcurse (calendar)
A plausible scenario I can think of would be in an office space, a shared smart coffee machine that would be stolen to gain WIFI access.
For real archival of large amount of data, LTO tapes are your best bet I think.
Don't forget that you are the result of all the past sensory interactions that you experienced in your whole life, people you interacted with, books you read, advertisements, songs, news headlines, etc. Even if you think you don't remember them, at one point in your life it was processed by your brain and may have changed some posterior decisions you made, thus making you what you are now.
Since I realized this, I am more meticulous when choosing what I do and don't do, there is no going back.
And now you end up with 40 blurred frames for each transition.
This is my experience too, I'm baffled that when making a basic search about a programming language on Google, the top results are only SEO garbage that waste your time for a basic answer. I'm better off asking GPT those days.
I think this is on purpose to show the extra freedom of movements of the new model compared to the hydraulic one.
I recently found out that a manufacturer (TI, NXP, murata, infineon?) was demonstrating a USB2 live camera capture using a UWB (Ultra-Wide-Band) short range wireless transmission. But I can't found the source again.
