MKBHD reviewed it, and said that the crease is about an 8.5 out of 10. Honor have completely eliminated it, and Samsung is almost there.

Not that I think it matters. Apparently when in use you don't notice the crease at all, except for a slight sensation when sliding your finger over it.

It's too expensive for me too. But I'm amused that Samsung have got the jump on Apple. Apparently Apple's coming foldable is going to be the same "passport" shape as the Galaxy Fold 8, so now Samsung can say that Apple is copying them and the new iPhone is only a mid-tier device, below their Galaxy Fold 8 Ultra.

There was no "tens of thousands of actions trying to probe (the) site for weaknesses all at once" - you literally made that up, access was gained by stolen credentials, as noted in the very first sentence of TFS.

The incident report's actual words were:
  The campaign was run by an autonomous agent framework ... executing many thousands of individual actions across a swarm of short-lived sandboxes,

....(because LLMs cannot actually do things like that with proper protections in place) so it is intent.

Ooh! I love syllogisms.

1. LLMs cannot actually do things like that with proper protections in place.
2. A LLM did that.
3. Conclusion?

Conclusion: proper protections were not in place.

Then there is the "rediscovery" aspect. It wasn't much of a "rediscovery" for the fishermen that told them where to find it and what species were being found/caught there. But, have no fear! These white knights are charging in to reclassify/designate the reef and end the fishermen's livelihoods. They're going to save it by collecting samples and drilling corals while excluding others. Nice.

From the article https://e360.yale.edu/digest/b... "The fishermen’s boats are not used to going that far offshore, so it was risky for everyone,” said Zinzindohoué, whose team battled repeated engine failures and months of nausea-filled fieldwork before finally locating two strong sonar echoes pinging from the depths below."

so it sounds like it wasn't actually a fishing site, although apparently the local fishers knew what kinds of fish were in the area.

Sam Altman is also a psychotic sociopath. He's probably pitching "Project Skynet" to Trump and Pete Hegseth right now - "Look how effective our tools clearly are!

HDR video is nice, but I hope HDR images are not far behind. These days even mid range phones take HDR images, and conversion to SDR is often sub-par.

How many of these authors are now using Claude, or another LLM, to assist in their next book?

Probably very few. I know a lot of authors, and they pretty much all vigorously detest large language models and refuse to use them.

The next generation of authors, though... I expect they'll all be using LLMs.

Comment Starbucks [Re:Black coffee] (Score 1) 179

Yes and no. Starbucks seems dominant and they over-roast their coffee. It works well for the super sugary espresso drinks but terrible for anything else.

Bingo, I think you nailed it. Starbucks wants to sell you those fancy syrupy latte caramel drinks, and to get any coffee flavor at all after they add all the sugary sweet gunk and cream, they need a super dark roast.

If you just want coffee, not a desert-in-a-cup, go anywhere else. Your local indy coffeehouse, for example.

The only thing you can be sure of is that every couple of years, you'll get different advice on the health effects of coffee.

Simply not true. Beneficial effects of coffee have been known for decades. This work is simply confirming what previous studies have already shown.

Comment What do they define as a "cup" (Score 1) 179

This mostly isn't new, just confirming what has been seen in studies going back decades https://time.com/4116129/coffe...

But an important question is, what do they define as a "cup"?

Years back, a "cup" of coffee was defined as a teacup, maybe five ounces. When I drink coffee, I use a coffee mug, which is perhaps twice the size of a teacup. Maybe more, for some of the extra-large coffee mugs.

I took a quick scan through the paper, searching on "cup", but didn't see an actual cup volume given.
