What an absolutely dystopian PR flow.

Shouldn't automation be somewhat useful? All these bot comments — do they really bring more value than they create distractions?

Well, I don't think so — hence the parenthesis. Although, I am pretty sure that's how Google looks at it, given all MV3 changes.

> This is demonstrably false, ublock lite proves that adblockers can work without it

uBO Lite is missing plenty of features: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/wiki/Frequently-as...

I don't agree with this conclusion. Google is fully responsible for MV3 and its' restrictions. There's no reason to shift blame away from them.

Let's do a thought experiment: if OP hasn't reported it, what do you think would happen then? Even if different ad blockers would find it later and use it, Google would have still removed this. Maybe they'd even remove extensions that have (ab)used it from Chrome Web Store.

Art is subjective. It isn't about checking boxes and counting how many formal criteria it meets.

Engineering is broad, it uses many different methods and techniques. All I am saying is that I wouldn't call someone a mathematician if they can only find the result of 2+2.

You've described what sounds a lot like experimentation: observing how a black box behaves on different inputs. Conducting experiments is closely related to engineering — I don't think anyone would claim different. But engineering is not limited to experimentation alone.

How is it arrogant? What should they do instead?

It feels like we're reading different discussions. All I see is Apple engineers addressing every raised concern.

Getting angry at companies for contributing to OSS is not the hill to die on. If it is -- I can't even imagine your feelings towards Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, Google, etc. for their contributions to Linux.

Can confirm, works perfectly now.

Looks great!

However, I'd appreciate an easier way to run it: binaries for Linux aren't standalone -- they require 3rd party dependencies to be installed. Static binaries (or maybe container image?) would be nice.

I got curious about it too, found that author actually did a write-up on that in 2020 [0]. I don't know that much about Workers, but it sounds like it's needed for analytics?

Cloudflare claims that Pages allow unlimited traffic [0]. So it seems like author is using Workers, probably on a free plan.

I am very interested. I tried to migrate to Swarm, got annoyed at incompatibility with tons of small Docker Compose things, and decided against that. I'd love to read about your setup.

Framework Desktop won't be out until Q3 this year. Other devices with Ryzen AI Max+ 395 are just starting to ship.

At best, you may find answers to these questions in a few months.

I migrated to Linux about a year ago too. Not the smoothest experience ever (looking at you, ath11k with device-specific quirks) but so far I am delighted. Finally, I don't have to fight my computer to do things I expect it to do.

Unfortunately, I still have to deal with macOS for work due to corporate policies.

I usually go through manuals if I’m worried about something specific. There’s no need to rely on reviews when you can get an answer directly from the manufacturer.

Jeff shows manual explicitly saying when you need an app, so this could have been avoided.

You don’t have to update them manually. Renovate supports pinned GitHub Actions dependencies [1]. Unfortunately, I don’t use Dependabot so can’t say whether it does the same.

Just make sure you don’t leak secrets to your PRs. Also I usually review changes in updated actions before merging them. It doesn’t take that much time, so far I’ve been perfectly fine with doing that.

With Pixel it doesn't really matter to me. I'll install GrapheneOS the minute I get it out of the box.

As for other vendors -- definitely less. I just want a decent phone with good software and minimum bloatware. I see all these AI features as bloatware.

You're right! Next time I'll try faxing them instead /s

> For almost all goods, there are other German online retailers that are as convenient, for the same or better prices

My experience is totally opposite. I use Idealo to compare different prices for any purchase over €50, and 90% of the time it shows that Amazon has the best offer.

The seller may not always be Amazon, often it's someone else, but if something goes wrong I'd rather deal with Amazon's 24/7 support than a small shop. Amazon's support has helped me resolve my issues in just 5 minutes or less multiple times, and with small shops — I encountered a few of them that only reply to one email per week, they simply aren't competitive.

Forerunner-series sounds like a perfect fit, take a look at Forerunner 265

Moreover, they have a great variety of other options that look and feel similar to what you already have. So if you want to go further with cycling (and have a budget to do that), you can buy Garmin Edge bike computer.

Apple doesn't make this sports ecosystem

While I'd also prefer for this thread to stay, I have to admit that OP saying

> I don't need you to convince me I'm wrong.

doesn't sound like they wanted to discuss anything, rather to encourage confirmation bias

Scan them with what exactly? If you're hinting at AVs — I honestly doubt they could be useful against novel state-sponsored malware.

Which ones are you referring to?

Just to make it clear, I see only 1 breakthrough [0]. Everything that happened afterwards is just application of this breakthrough with different training sets / to different domains / etc.

Which chart are you referencing exactly? How does it define technological development? It's nearly impossible for me to discuss a chart without knowing what axis refer.

Without specifics all I can say is that I don't acknowledge any measurable benefits of AI (in its' current state) in real world applications. So I'd say I am leaning towards latter.

Unfortunately, I don't see any relevance in that argument, if you consider GPT-4 to be a breakthrough -- then sure, single breakthroughs happen, I am not arguing with that. Actually, same thing happened with self-driving: I don't think many people expected Tesla to drop FSD publicly back then.

Now, chain of breakthroughs happening in a small timeframe? Good luck with that.

That's probably what every self-driving car company thought ~10 years ago or so, everything was moving so fast for them back then. Now it doesn't seem like we're getting close to solution for this.

Surely this time it's going to be different, AGI is just around a corner. /s

Extrapolation of past progress isn't evidence.

Asking this as a PC gamer who went fully digital ~15 years ago: why are optical drives such a big deal, is that because of buying/selling used games?

> if there are tracking pixels, they fire since you must open the email for further screening

What makes you think that? Email message content is plain HTML, tracking pixels are usually implemented as `<img>`s with unique link.

I'd expect Apple engineers are aware of that and they can render HTML without external resources, and only then pass it to their LLM. Also Mail.app is already capable of doing that -- you can disable loading external resources by default in settings on iOS and macOS both.
