Got a Tesla about a year ago, when out in the country I constantly get flashed by other drivers that think I have my high beams on. Like every few minutes of driving time. This looks like a NHTSA fail, most federal agencies have been distracted from core missions in recent years. At least they're finally allowing ADB (Adaptive Driving Beam) headlights which have been standard in the EU...
Those of us who helped make the metaverse possible have mostly stopped working on it. Neil's vision has been buildable for decades, but the hardware gatekeepers are more interested in building the IOI version of it from Ready Player One. Until that changes there are a few great games, but no new commons...
jbmartin6 writes: Threatening messages aimed to prevent digital piracy have the opposite effect if you're a man, a new study from the University of Portsmouth has found. According to the research, women tend to respond positively to this kind of messaging, but men typically increase their piracy behaviors by 18% From the study's abstract: "One threatening message influences women to reduce their piracy intentions by over 50% and men to increase it by 18%. "
I'm not so sure about the author's attribution of this difference to evolutionary psychology, so looking forward to some educational comments on that.
From the FAQ @ https://overturemaps.org/resou...
Overture is a data-centric map project, not a community of individual map editors. Therefore, Overture is intended to be complementary to OSM. We combine OSM with other sources to produce new open map data sets. Overture data will be available for use by the OpenStreetMap community under compatible open data licenses. Overture members are encouraged to contribute to OSM directly.
They've been scanning everything on windows boxes and anything else on the local network they can access for "your security!" for years (in perfect accordance with the EULA you read, right?), they've probably just figured out how to increase advertising or government surveillance revenue by increasing the accessible file packages.
This is a fight RMS can't win, you can't buy enough GPUs on the salary of a waiter to compete with a Wall Street or Sand Hill Road funded data center. The best we can do is to continue to advance the tools and open training data sets so that academia and non-corporate models and training are usable. I look at Open Street Maps - Google and Garmin may have better maps due to their funding, but most of the interesting stuff is being built using OSM since its actually open.
This is only an announcement that some people may begin using a new feature as part of a suite of proprietary products. The product technology with its model, weights, etc, are NOT being "released to the public" in any of the previous meanings of those terms. But hey, marketing... (sigh)
The SEC seems to have time to go after insanely creative & risky financial bundling systems that are made accessible to the normal person. Those are supposed to only be available to what they call the "Accredited Investor". Us serfs need to stay in our lane.
FWIW no connection to the company other than being a relatively happy customer after me and my team were unable to find anything remotely close in the foss world. Its UX is awkward, very steep learning curve, you pretty much have to already understand responsive web design to use it, but once there its a nice WYSIWYG editor & UX demo/refinement tool that emits usable code.
Is there a foss equivalent that generates reasonable bootstrap or react scaffolding? I haven't found one, almost everyone I talked to in the UX space recommended Figma, its what I ended licensing for myself and my team. Love to know if I missed something...
... a great (paid) tool to build trivial and non-trivial web user interfaces, including prototyping interactions with static data. It can (sometimes with additional third party tools) auto generate much of the front end files, ready to wire up to your back end. Think of it as an IDE for modern web targeting HTML/CSS for Bootstrap, React, etc.
