The reels looks too realistic though. I’m guessing they made the actual celebrities record them and left the AI to take care of the pictures and convo.

If US insists on keeping healthcare private I’d expect soon or later for these money-sucking “health” insurance companies to be replaced by VC-money-sucking tech companies offering a fairly priced subscription for accessing drugs and treatments.

The only obstacle is - and it’s a big one - drugs and health insurance companies crying out to the gov about how tech companies are stealing their lunch and they should broke down.

It doesn’t. It’s not an attack on the programming languages. It’s just that they have a sweet spot for using old ass versions which might or might not have known vulnerabilities and they don’t care about updating it.

To be fair some nations do have their software development teams. Italy has Sogei which is fully controlled by the Ministry of Economics. They had a reputation for developing crappy software but I heard they are getting better

PS: they were not involved in the development of this algorithm

The way it works in Italy: the design and implementation of the algorithm in Java 8 or an even older version of C# was probably outsourced to one of the Big 4 consultancy companies.

A group of underpaid graduates was put together to crack the problem. All of them crammed for their algo & ds exam since that’s what the Italian university system incentivises so none of them did actually remember a thing about algorithm design. They googled a bunch of words and forked the first PoC they found on GitHub.

Everything was wrapped into a nice PowerPoint full of corporate BS and delivered to the government.

Edit: As expected, the algorithm was developed by a company owned by Dxc Technology [1] and Leonardo which is the Italian defence company. The contract was worth 5 million of euros.

It’s not right now but it will be when combined with WEI or if Safari gains more market share. Overall, I agree with the sentiment expressed in this blog post: https://httptoolkit.com/blog/apple-private-access-tokens-att...

Apple Screen Time API is a hot mess. It’s definitely one of the most poorly documented APIs out there. I dare you to take a look at Apple’s documentation. While playing with it, I also found out - I wasn’t the only one - that some stuff such as the STWebpageController does not work correctly in the Simulator and you must use a real device.

It’s still called “retweet” on the iOS app though. Even though I understand they cannot go exactly together since the mobile app has an approval process before it goes online, I’d like for web and mobile to have the same copywriting

The post states it. This is not a problem because Safari is not the leading web browser. Apple has very limited power over what they can do with it.

Do you really need that many endpoints even at LinkedIn scale? I’d expect a lots of them is due to engineers reinventing the wheel due to undocumented endpoints

They’re legit - most of the times. Most of the times it’s cheaper to print on-demand if you don’t know how many copies you’re going to sell. For instance, OpenStax usually prints its books through Amazon.

I’m surprised hearing about big publishers such as Penguin using the on-demand service though. Maybe they use it to provide books which are out-of-print or which don’t sell a lot.

Given Amazon scale, I’d not be surprised if some of them are being sold by non copyright owners though.

Going on a tangent here: I live in Europe where unions have been present for decades and it’s scary how much I give them for granted.

They are not perfect - far from it - but to think of everyone who fought to establish them and keeps them running to this day… it’s inspiring.

Good for Stanford.
