The insane part is that those police officers and neighbours likely grew up in a community where they were able to have the freedom to go outside unsupervised. They all survived to adulthood and are now trying to snatch away those freedoms from the young. Disgraceful.

Right but there is no suggestion the firebombing was linked to any government or regulatory policy/action/initiative.

It's simply that he upset organised crime groups. These exist everywhere in the world and theres no suggestion the Australian authorities aren't investigating and trying to bring those responsible to justice.

Sure but dozens of other companies can (and do) make cheaper robots optimised for grabbing an item and throwing it in a box. Boston Dynamics specialises in complex generalist robotics and humanoids not automating logistics.

Because you don't need a bipedal robot that can jump and throw for that.

You just need an arm and a standardised storage system that the arm can reach into.

If you check again now this is a out of the box feature on Google Assistant. You just say “good morning” and it tells you the time, weather, news, and more.

I fail to see how AI can really assist with this.

Whatever model the AI is fed is going to contain an enormous number of assumptions many of which we have a very limited ability to scientifically test and validate prior to using them as inputs.

If the inputs are faulty if doesn’t matter how smart the AI is it’s going to produce inaccurate results.

The most ridiculous missing feature is there’s no refresh button for the current folder. Sometimes to show new files created by an external process I have to relaunch the whole finder process just to have my files appear as it caches the stale view

A big move for sure. The LA demographics are much less tech heavy than other cities. Hopefully they succeed and have a model where transportation become cheaper and more efficient and an individual owning a car becomes an option rather than a necessity.

The main asahi dev is a reverse engineering legend who previously worked on both Nintendo Wii and PS3/4. I think the apple hardware is probably easier to reverse than those platforms.

100% agreed. Would be interesting to see how an application by Muhammad with a Penn State degree compares to a John with an Oral Robert’s degree when applying to a neutral institution.

Unfortunately there are 2 serious drawback to this: 1. Non replaceable/rechargeable battery 2. No support for directional tracking using U1. It’s just the standard find my networks Bluetooth beacon and the ability to emit a sound. Not the local directional finding available with AirTags.

Ensure you use Google takeout to obtain a local copy of your data frequently and you’ll minimise the risk if you do get locked out

Cloudflare does DNS and domain registration. They are subject to US laws but they have been very hands off and pro free speech (too much IMO, protecting abhorrent sites) but that does give more trust in this case.

I can't believe the response after the media approaching them was still "We're right and your account remains banned" I understand the reluctance to expose themselves to potential legal complications but in this case with the police report it's pretty clear cut that these photos were not criminal and the photo taker has not committed the crime Google is accusing him of.

If you grow up with metric none of these assumptions apply. You learn that 0C is cold, 20C is nice and 40C is hot. At what F do you need to worry about snow? like 30ish? Metric this is 0C so there's usefulness both ways.

Receiving power from where? 40MW is the capacity of a medium sized wind farm. The larger tunnel configuration uses 1.38GW. That’s more than most large scale coal or nuclear plants.

Even if they could obtain the supply from a plant operator the cabling to get to the site of the tunnel cost a fortune

This is a clean room open source implementation. Not property blobs are used.

Additionally Apple intentionally designed the M1 architecture to support additional OSes. They have even made changes to their code that have fixed issues the Asahi project was having. So while there's no official support this project is certainly known to Apple and has raised no concerns so far.

> It seems that as people get richer around the world they move away from $200 Androids to what is more perceived as luxury: iPhones.

This but not only this. There’s also that phones have moved from being a simple voice communication device to the most essential item a person owns. It makes sense that a larger portion of income is spent on them when they get more important in peoples lives

“The Australian” is a national aggregation of the local city based Murdock owned papers.

It should not be listed without its competitors the Fairfax owned papers the “Sydney Morning Herald” and “The Age” also being listed.

Both the Murdock and Fairfax owned papers are equally prominent in the Australian media landscape and are essentially a duopoly in Australia’s biggest cities.

> we've closed our previous bank account to open a new one. Google tried to send a payment to our previous bank account, it has returned, they instantly locked our payments profile and that's it, the whole story.

Was you previous account Russian based? When was it closed?

If you changed it after the war began I can see how Google would notice a Russian associated company (Whitescape) moving to a new bank account just before/during the sanctions and see it as an attempt to evade them which should obviously be blocked.

It seems this is a lesson to move your company to a more stable country (Canada) as soon as you can. Not to wait until the the leader does something the whole world condemns.

Is this standard government admin or something involving sensitive information where this requirement may be valid?

I assume the outcome will be no one wants to do this work as an employee and they’ll end up filling the holes with expensive contractors (who may even be made exempt from this requirement).

Sounds like you haven’t used Asahi at all. The software rendering is actually very functional and perfectly usable for programming. It’s just multimedia/gaming where it fails.

Hector Martin who’s developing Asahi Linux for Apple Silicon recently tweeted about this. The M1 Pro, M1 Max and the at the time unannounced “Double M1 Max” have a completely different series identifier (T600x) to the forth coming Mac Pro chip (T6500) so no it won’t just be a doubling/quadrupling of an existing design. https://twitter.com/marcan42/status/1498317101245034502?s=21

I’m certainly not a US supporter but their intention wasn’t to annex Iraqi territory.

Looks very cool, what's the underlying technology that makes it work?

Does it need a licensed windows install in a VM to run the apps?

Juicero was an amazing idea compared to this. There's juice bars all over the world so why not have one on your countertop...

The execution was of course atrocious with an over engineered expensive to produce machine that couldn't be given away in return for recurring fruit pack revenue.

Compared to a real (albeit failed) product these NFTs total shit.

With interest rates rising and inflation I doubt there will be any money to be made with even half that valuation once the scam bubble pops

It’s an optional power user add in you’re complaining about not a system wide change. Just disable that feature if you don’t like it.

Compare to a battery powered laptop you can flip open and start working on from anywhere? Not a chance.

Yep, If it didn't launch today it will launch alongside the M2 or Mac Pro update probably around WWDC next year.

> Apple does nothing to improve front line technician procedures.

I’m not a fan of planned obselence and waste but this is clearly wrong. They’ve spent loads of engineering effort designing a machine for their store that can replace and reseal and test iPhone screen replacements out back.
