I can't imagine that it has some kind of special access to Anthropic's servers and that it does things an API-user can't do, maybe except for the option to use the Claude.ai credits/quota.
Even their Agent SDK just wraps the `claude`-executable, IIRC.
Why did SO decide to do that to us? to not invest in ai and then, iirc, claim our contributions their ownership. i sometimes go back to answers i gave, even when answered my own questions.
AFAICT all they did is stop providing dumps. That doesn't change the license.
I was very active, In fact I'm actually upset at myself for spending so much time there. That said, I always thought I was getting fair value. They provided free hosting, I got answers and got to contribute answers for others.
Sometimes prepaid is a bit more expensive because you're paying for 28 days and not a month. You basically have 13 cycles per year instead of 12 (28*13 = 364 days)
I suspect the OP means prepaying for the year. AT&T is like $25/mo for 5GB data + unlimited everything else if you pay upfront for the whole year ($300). Prepaid MVNO plans are even cheaper.
No that's not what I mean. And I'm not in the US. A €20 prepaid data bundle here on orange is much larger than a €20 contract. And the prepay has built in overcharge protection.
Like the coulometer they mention. This is a battery discharge sensor, nobody would mention this in the specs. SAR sensor and coulometer are standard by now.
Which leads to a conclusion, either the makers don't know enough to know it's standard (which suggests they aren't well informed enough to make a modern smartphone), or they do know but decided to include it to pad their spec sheet (which suggests disingenuous marketing).
They could just be transparent and know their techy customers are interested in these sorts of things. Possibly, they want to assure customers that their off-brand phone includes such features.
That would also be my reading. I'm the type of nerd who's interested in minute details of his devices. I'm looking for a new phone currently and my spreadsheet includes columns like the UFS version, minimal brightness (as measured by some independent news site), whether it has a barometer, dual-frequency GNSS, etc. It always requires retrieving info via third parties such as https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jXtRCoEnnFNWj6_oFlVW... (GPSTest database), https://phyphox.org/sensordb/, the video mode list on gsmarena.com, etc.
I haven't yet found a manufacturer that publishes sufficient detail such that I can fill out all relevant columns from their official spec page. They're never detailed enough so I can only applaud including more details. There will always be fields that aren't relevant to different subgroups of the audience...
"Even if they are creating their own plugins, they are probably not integrating with the audio interface".
The audio interface is abstracted away in exchange for some metadata about the buffer's properties and the buffer itself, and that is true for basically everything related to audio: the buffer is the lowest level the OS offers you, and you are free to implement lower-level stuff in your dsp/instrument, like using assembly, maybe also functions for SSE, AVX or NEON based acceleration.
You get chunks of samples in a buffer, you read them, do something with them and write the result out into another buffer.
"Pipewire supports audio channels over network" thanks for reminding me: I'm planning to stream the audio out of my Windows machine to a raspi zero to which I will then connect my bluetooth headphones. First tests worked, but the latency is really bad with shairport-sync [0] at around 400 ms. This is what I would use Pipewire for, if my workstation were Linux and not Windows.
Maybe Snapcast [1] could be interesting for you: "Snapcast is a multiroom client-server audio player, where all clients are time synchronized with the server to play perfectly synced audio. It's not a standalone player, but an extension that turns your existing audio player into a Sonos-like multiroom solution."
"I could see something like a "live coding symphony", where people have their own livecoding setups and the audio is generated on a central server." Tidal Cycles [2] might interest you, or the JavaScript port named Strudel [3]. Tidal can synchronize multiple instances via Link Synchronization. Then there's Troop [4], which "is a real-time collaborative tool that enables group live coding within the same document across multiple computers. Hypothetically Troop can talk to any interpreter that can take input as a string from the command line but it is already configured to work with live coding languages FoxDot, TidalCycles, and SuperCollider."
I would stop using Firefox if Enzor-DeMeo would block or cripple ad blockers.
While it is not my main browser (Vivaldi is), I have 5 installs of Firefox Portable for different things, like one for YouTube, one for testing pages against Firefox and so on.
Mozilla/ Firefox is irrelevant and ultimately doomed to ever smaller numbers.
That's because their users are driven by opinions and principles, and those are the worst, most disloyal kind of users. They're always threatening to leave, and will take the slightest offense to do so.
Chrome wins because its user base doesn't care. The browser is just a tool, not a religion. It's installed, they use it, they're barely aware it exists and most of Joe Public doesn't even know Google makes it.
So sure. For you it's ad blockers. For someone else it's their donation plan. Or Google funding. Or their corporate structure. Or their management.
When your marketing is about something else, other than the product itself, you always end up with edge-case-customers.
People use Chrome because it's the best browser. Less than 3% use Firefox. And all I read from Firefox users is how bad everything is (or will be).
No, Firefox's market share isn't a foil to monopoly (Safari has 5 times more users. Crumbs Edge has twice the users.)
I care about Firefox, but I really just wish all the whiners would just do what they threaten and use something else. But they won't because everything else is worse (for some or other principles reason.)
Now I fully expect to be downvoted because the only people reading this article in the first place are Firefox whiners. Which is kinda my point.
It's pretty hard to recommend Firefox to others when everything written by existing users is so negative.
An ad blocker is a very useful tool. Being able to block ads effectively makes the browser much better. I'm not sure how you can call that "religion".
> People use Chrome because it's the best browser.
No they don't. They use Chrome because every Google service nags the shit out of them to use Chrome. People aren't as rational as you make them out to be.
