  • But Recall is recording screenshots, not data stored on disk. That's not the same as Apple's hourly data snapshot which is just a automated backup of what you have already stored. Recall will be recording the videos or images you watch, even when you don't keep them locally. It will store the things you decided not to save, and every time you have to open your password manager to check a password, or create a new one. It might be limited to your account, but that still means it's accessible to anyone who can figure out your password or access your unlocked PC behind your back. Or to that virus you accidentally downloaded, if it's not immediately detected.

  • And how would they program that keyboard? Why should they need to buy extra hardware? Instead, it's offered on every copy of Windows, and activated in a standard way that doesn't require multiple simultaneous keys. They can walk up to a library shared computer, or something at work, and start using it.

    It's annoying when it gets in the way of gaming, but face it: pressing shift 5 times is not something you do accidentally in most apps outside of gaming.

  • The point of the insurance is to have a third party that can evaluate risk for each cop. Some cops with a prior incident will have to pay more for their insurance. Some will have to pay a LOT more, and others will be unable to get it. Putting it on the cop without insurance just means they go bankrupt without paying the victims.

  • I can run 7B models on my laptop with its embedded GPU. Running on a phone or a Pi is possible with smaller models, but very slow. Expect good speed with a desktop Nvidea GPU. Later this year, there should be new computers with an NPU integrated to the CPU which should speed up computers that don't have a dedicated GPU. (But a GPU will still outperform them by a lot.)

    70B models will run very slowly on even the best consumer hardware due to memory limitations.

  • It looks really close to that tree. They want to tree to grow, so they make the wall more malleable in that section. If they did the regular wall all the way across, it would look horrible, and probably cause problems for a larger section of wall, when the tree roots start breaking it up on 10 years.

    Or else they did do the wall all the way many years ago, but the tree already started breaking it, so they cut out that section.

  • I do a lot of code. That means I often deal with three or four programs at the same time, and perhaps 10 loaded throughout the day and I want to see them all. So I have two monitors that are each 27" and 4k.

    This means I can see a web browser sized to a full 1080 size, next to a database query, and still see the code that I'm working on, and keep an eye on any new emails or text chats. Without needing to Alt-tab to switch windows. It's like spreading your work over a dining room table, instead of those little desks you got in high school.

    Most apps don't need to be larger than 1080. But some can be taller to see more code (maybe 160 lines, for example) without scrolling too much. And I hardly ever deal with just one window at a time.

  • Some of that may not be subjective, even if it is a personal difference. Some need glasses, some don't get glasses because they just barely need them, and others have problems glasses can't fix, especially as we age. Some eyes are just different, and that's physical differences, not just a difference of preference.

  • There are allegations, and even a court filling from the prosecutor, that the boxes of evidence have not been maintained in original condition, and that evidence photos may have been staged by the FBI to appear more damming.

  • Nearly all such satellites would have highly directional antennas, so the aliens would have to be neat earth before they could do that. Voyager is not expecting a command signal from anywhere else but Earth. The signal would have to originate not more than a fraction of a degree from Earth from Voyager's perspective.

  • They are cancelling flights because those specific airports don't have the equipment to provide a precision landing (ILS) during low visibility weather. They only published a landing procedure with GPS. They will now spend a few months installing the ILS system to enable such landings so they can resume commercial flights.

    Before GPS, all airports would be either VFR only or would have an ILS system installed. Since then, some airports were built without an expensive ILS but used a published GPS approach to allow low-vis landings.

    They could have continued flights with only VFR navigation, but that would seriously restrict the weather they could operate in.
