And Quebec has it’s own English. I spent a few years working in Montreal and soon learned about “passing the vacuum” and “closing the light”. There are so many bilingual folks that concepts and word orders flow back and forth. I had an interesting discussion with a bilingual anglophone about how in English elsewhere it’s called a “pacifier” and not a “souce”
I believe it is the case that US (at least) iPhones work as IC cards in Japan
Source - I’m sitting in Kyoto right now having travelled all over Tokyo and then on to Kyoto using only my phone to interact with Japan Rail. Verified with two 16Es and a 12. In fact we were able to add the Suica cards to our phones and charge them fromApplePay while still stateside. That let us skip the Welcome Suica line at Haneda and go straight to the monorail. Highly recommended
This problem seems to also exist for services like uber. Their solution seems easier, drop a pin on a map. Perhaps working so hard to find a textual description is missing the simpler solution.
Ah, but isn’t that the problem here - asking an LLM for facts without requesting a search is like asking a PhD to answer a question “off the top of your head”. For pop culture questions the PhD likely brings little value.
Much like scanning tools looking for CVEs. There are thousands of devs right this moment chasing alleged vulns. It is early days for all of these tools. Giving papers a look over is an unqualified good as it is for code. I like the approach of keeping it private until the researcher can respond.
Take a fly on an airliner in MS flight simulator sometime or watch any of the YouTubers that show this stuff. CitationMax is a good one. The screens tell the flight plan, altitudes, traffic, weather, terrain and more. The audio part is, as mentioned above, extremely efficient and shared. The audio is used for clearances from one step to another ( very loosely speaking) This improves everyone’s situational awareness. This may have been an issue at DCA where the commercial flight was on VHF and the chopper was on UHF.
If a plane loses comms there are well defined procedures and everyone knows exactly what that plane will do as they proceed to their destination.
Very good presentation but I do miss any mention of the audience claim. This claim is underrated in my opinion at least. It allows the token to climb access to an api or server or whatever that can be used by gateways to do a high level authorization. Then the scopes can be used at the resource server to govern lower level authorization.
The ATC is up on YouTube - I heard it on the vatsim channel. ATC would not let pilots transit the designated danger airspace without declaring an emergency. So they did.
Ahh the perils of the installed base. It brings to mind the use of tab in make files.
> And then a few weeks later I had a user population of about a dozen, most of them friends, and I didn't want to screw up my embedded base. The rest, sadly, is history.[1]
I was surprised at the rice cooker section at Yodobashi Camera in Tokyo Akaba that they were serving samples of cooked rice from each of the many, many models they sell. My American senses failed to detect any difference. And yes, that was only one of the multitude of surprises in that wonderland of a store.
My Samsung ultra wide has side by side mode with two input cables. Screen sharing (and Windows) thinks it’s two monitors but I can stretch windows all the way across both if I want to since it is an extended set
I think I’m the target market. Old enough that my hearing requires some help, but still working in tech from home. The hearing aids I’ve looked at - I have a prescription - have Bluetooth for listening but no microphone for talking. I use my AirPods for teams calls all day long. Switching back and forth to a hearing aid seems too much trouble so I haven’t taken that step. I will get these new AirPods the day the feature ships. I may need two pairs to deal with the battery life but it’s still cheap.
