Private Cloud Compute uses their own hardware: https://security.apple.com/blog/private-cloud-compute/

Thanks! I wonder how they enforce retention of personal data if a user adds identifying data and they use a model from anthropic or wtv like others said. maybe that is the wrong question at all if they are using their own models but i thought they didn't. Apple's AI strategy on the whole sounds coherent to me but the specifics are super confusing.

Extra pedantic: that’s the en dash, the em dash is option-shift-hyphen

TIL! Thank you

Am I the only one who feels like it isn't the responsibility of backbone ISPs to filter traffic like this? In the case of a DDoS situation I could get behind it, but in this case I feel as though it's not Cogent's problem if I want to use telnet from a device on Charter's network to a Vultr VPS, even if it may be ill-advised.

(Of course, the article only speculates that this traffic filtering is what's going on; there isn't any hard proof, but it feels plausible to me.)

I feel like the nondeterminism makes LLM-assisted programming a different sort of concept than using a compiler. Your prompt isn't your source code.

Apple also puts fn/globe in the bottom left corner and control to its right.

Yeah, but that's conflating that a key labeled "control" for a Windows machine and a key labeled "control" for a Mac refer to different concepts.

In his talk a few days ago, one of the main Asahi developers (Sven) shared that there is someone working on M3 support. There are screenshots of an M3 machine running Linux and playing DOOM at around 31:34 here: https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-asahi-linux-porting-linux-to-app...

Sounds like the GPU architecture changed significantly with M3. With M4 and M5, the technique for efficiently reverse-engineering drivers using a hypervisor no longer works.

Thanks, I guess I stand corrected.

That is encouraging! Still, there is no way for a normal to user to try to install it, unless something changed very recently.

If you “fling” the page, lift your fingers off, and then tap with two fingers, does the page come to a stop?

Just tested - it does indeed.

Defendants trying to exclude ALPR evidence often invoke Carpenter v. U.S. (or U.S. v. Jones, but that’s questionable because the majority decision is based on the trespass interpretation of the 4th Amendment rather than the Katz test). Judges have not generally agreed with defendants that ALPR (either the license plate capture itself or the database lookup) resembles the CSLI in Carpenter or the GPS tracker in Jones. A high enough density of Flock cameras may make the Carpenter-like arguments more compelling, though.

Yeah, I don't think capturing your license plate at a light falls afoul of Carpenter, but aggregating timestamped records of your license plate all over town to build a complete picture of your movements probably does.

It’s somewhat more complex than “NTFS is slow”. Here’s a good explanation: https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/873#issuecomment-425...

I’ve benchmarked deleting files (around ~65,000 small node_modules sort of files) and it takes 40 seconds through Explorer, 20 seconds with rd, and roughly a second inside WSL2 (cloned to the VM’s ext4 virtual hard drive).

What sorts of projects are you working on that use Itanium?

None, really. I just happened to get a copy of the manual and start idly reading it when my computer got stuck in a very long update-reboot cycle and I couldn't do anything other than read a physical book.
