6 inches is not small. Small would be like 4 inches or less.

The problem is, YouTube has no real competition. No one has the same thing they do. And the same applies to a lot of things today.

Another issue is, subscription services can just raise the price and then start charging people more without those people doing anything, or possibly even noticing, which differs from individual purchases where you had to make a judgement about the price each time. Now, people have to make an actively cancel in order to not agree to new prices (or EULA changes for that matter). It should really be the other way around, so that if a service raises their price, people have to actively agree to the new price in order for the service to keep charging them.

Can’t speak for Uber Eats or Starbucks though.

Out-of-band, I think. I.e. some other means of communication that doesn’t go via the same route they normally use.

Natural sunlight only works while the sun is up. That’s no replacement for artificial lighting

over 100% of the BT.2020 pro color space

What does this mean? BT.2020 already requires pure monochromatic subpixels (which you’re not gonna get with LCD), so you can’t go beyond that unless you use 4+ subpixels (in which case the extra colors will just go unused, since HDR video is delivered as BT.2020). Or is BT.2020 Pro a smaller gamut than BT.2020?

This article is the only thing I can find on Google which mentions “BT.2020 Pro”, at least in English.

The problem is some authors signing exclusivity deal with Amazon, which means breaking the DRM and converting it is the only way to read it on a different e-reader.

Looks like it’s taken a page from PowerShell in passing structured data rather than just text.

but it is a task of a programmer to review it before publishing it.

By contrast however, the programmer does not generally need to review the machine code produced by their compiler when coding in C.

It’s not though. Programming languages, like assembly before them, are deterministic. If you run the same C code again the same environment, it will do the same thing, and altering the code will alter the behaviour correspondingly. It’s possible to reason about it. The same does not apply to LLMs. You can’t reason about their behavior, when means you can’t build anything non-trivial with them. All that is mentioned in the article.

What do you mean? That’s literally just using the service as intended.

The same thing spam e-mails have claimed to have done for ages

When did they have games on tape?

Lossless WebP is still gets way better compression than PNG though, this doesn’t change that. Although they mention they’re looking to improve it in the next version, so we’ll see then.

This article really needs some illustration of what the new UI looks like, and what the old one looks like for comparison

We’ve been without a lot of things for millennia

Not sure if Google Lens counts as AI, but Circle to Search is a cool feature.

Not to the point where it’s worth having a button for it permanently taking up space at the bottom of the screen.

On a lot of phones you can hide the navigation pill, but Samsung started forcibly showing it when they added Circle to Search. Fortunately I don’t have a Samsung phone.

They’re also generally lower quality

A big blocker that the article surprisingly doesn’t talk about is tons of IoT stuff that uses 2G and 3G. Stuff like alarm systems, emergency phones, street light control, cars etc. Here in Sweden there was recently a report that thousands of elevators have emergency phones using 2G and 3G, and if the network is shut down you would no longer be allowed to use those elevators. And since 2018 all new cars in the EU has to have eCall, which alerts emergency services on a crash. Many of these use 2G and 3G, and if it stops working the car won’t pass inspection so you’ll no longer be allowed to drive it.

It’s not even that, there are multiple languages spoken in the same region. Webpages should just use the language the browser tells it to use.

A robot doesn’t need to be anthropomorphic, an assembly line robot is still a robot. It does however need to be able to perform some actions autonomously, for which a vibrator hardly qualifies.
