PleasureKevin posted:while i hate Scroogle, how the gently caress can you copyright an API, absent of any actual code amd has one of the few outstanding x86 licenses, simultanously their greatest asset and (likely, no one knows the details of the contract) worst curse, since they would lose the license if they got bought out, so they have to plod along making bad processors instead. it always seemed pretty clear that the only reason amd tried to go arm a couple of years back was to try to pivot into a situation where they could be bought without simultaneously destroying all value as usual copyright law is not entirely clear-cut, there are most certainly both api's that can be copyrighted and ones that can't. a sufficiently novel and complex api (it may, notably, encode non-trivial engineering details) is of course copyrightable

it is some kind of comment on the nature of modern man if people on the regular invite people out to eat with no thought in their head about what or where to eat beyond a broad category, letting google make all decisions beyond that i assume that the next version will just have you type "lunhc!=??" and an uber pulls up with people randomly invited from your google+ and drives you to a gas station for their famous tuna wrap

also they don't need that many hits to make the purchases worth it with the sort of rather ambitious stuff they pick up. as noted, adsense/adwords was effectively purchased (cheap), android and youtube cost a bit more but turned out fantastic i was sort of expecting people to quote that list and go "well what have they done recently?!" and then i was going to first quote the monty python skit about what the romans have done, and then bring up DeepMind, which they also bought pretty much complete, for a rather piddling sum even considering just the pr alone

i guess android does not separate apps getting to stay resident and apps getting to schedule tasks in the background? sounds like they threw in 6 gigs of ram, had 30+ apps resident, and they ground down the battery in no time

the average person absolutely has an android phone since they dont give a gently caress and iphones are expensive in sweden the iphone 7 is $800, a moto g5 is $225. you have to, unsurprisingly, be someone who actually cares about ones ~devices~ to go spending that sort of cash

getting to be annoying how little value seems to be placed in phones being reasonably sturdy. i will admit that i no doubt *could* be more careful, but it has been easier peace of mind to just buy stuff like nokias back when they were a thing (still on the lumia 950, which also appears to be largely indestructible) one of those areas where not even apple is doing that well, though they are no worse than the typical android phone

most poo poo in the xml sphere was underthought and overengineered, making for a lot of fantastically clunky stuff with the primary purpose of making sure software threw errors on bad input rather than risking doing something unintentionally correct the web got a bit messy by development being again by relative amateurs after a decade of neglect, but the primary cause of the neglect was that the w3c spent that decade trying to convince people that browsers should not incrementally render since they'd risk interpreting a document that turned out to not be ~~strictly correct~~ and the above is just complaining about the surface stuff which could with a bit of effort be argued to possibly serve some purpose, we then have to painfully recall the loving semantic web and owl and all of that hugely misdirected effort

btw json is poo poo too, should have gone with a relational format for interchange, as nasty as sql is defining a subset for the web would have been sweet. did some rather hacked up services for a b2b scenario by replicating our databases, setting up a view of the info the service should expose, and using database permission system to lock the service user onto those views, and just had them jdbc in across the internet without bothering to ever write a messy xml/soap/web layer where we would have constrained how the data could be queried for no reason not exactly scalable, but the sql solution we used was an ancient battle-tested thing, and i have little doubt that us wrapping it in something would have been far more likely to gently caress up security/scalability than just letting it do its thing directly

i really really don't think there is a "yet" about this development. until we have the asimov-style benevolent computer overlord running every aspect of the world it will remain an entirely human affair what is offensive and inappropriate, the act of encoding an understanding of what it is in an artifact that act will change what it actually is even with strong ai there would need to be some background rigid conception of what the goal is which will never truly work out

mrmcd posted:It probably performs a lot better on full paragraphs because like lots of ML stuff the model overfits and disappears up its own rear end in a top hat on small amounts of data. nah, nlp is not there yet to actually make sense of sentence structure, and what is bad becomes far more subtle. it'd probably do better on a lot of keywords taken together sure, but type up some complex prose and it is just outside of what can be done today, and anyway becomes a judgement that simply cannot be put to simple rules (here i started typing up some example comparing black men in sports to brutal beasts fighting in the colosseum for the thrills of emotional women etc., but as i tried to phrase that out in a fancy way it got rather too distasteful very quickly)

Generic Monk posted:i wonder if people use htc phones for security-critical stuff, or even use htc phones in general, enough for this to be a problem it being a personal information leak is pretty serious, but it really doesn't seem much of an issue for the security of that particular phone, since the people with the dodgy app stealing the fingerprint will be unlikely the intersect with the people getting physical access to the phone and wanting to do something nefarious with the access afforded by the fingerprint and your fingerprint not being known by some shady people is a pretty poor bet to start with, so it probably always had a pretty small chance of being a problem. no less incredibly stupid to just leave it lying around though

different can be fun fyi the landscape is really drab atm though, really nothing that is reasonably unique which can at the same time fulfill basic needs (which these days includes apps from one of the major platforms, since everything from banking to parking is app-first these days)
