I like Mail, Notes, Wallet, Safari, News (except being reminded all the time that I should sign up for News+), iMessage. I even use Maps and love it for the most part, aside from the times it leads me to a place a block away from where I’m trying to go. I use alternates though for music and calendar, and am looking…

That gif is just...bravo. Outstanding.

I wonder how this will compare to Metal ray tracing? Obviously the market will be much bigger, and I imagine dedicated GPUs would make a big difference.

Okay, that’s a fair point

And going on the record correcting their former selves about the seriousness of this could save people. Let’s not make that process harder for them than it is right now. There will be plenty of blame to go around once the dust settles.

Come on Gizmodo.

Makes sense for many developers, I’m sure. Do you find that function keys are easier than, say, mapping your own custom keyboard shortcuts for commonly used functions?

I’m confused, are physical function keys REALLY better than the touchbar? I don’t have a touchbar, but it seems to me that the only function keys I really use (volume, screen brightness) can be pinned to the touchbar anyways. Who really gets THAT much use out of function keys?

I work in aerospace system safety, I took a college course on accident causation in which we looked at a number (somewhere between 4 and 10) of airplane accidents caused by software behavior. I certainly don’t mean to imply that flying is unsafe. And I said nothing about the air traffic control system. I just think tha…

They both have software which can move control surfaces independent of pilot input. That alone warrants a pretty serious system safety analysis. I’m almost positive it is completely fine, but I would want to be sure.

I didn’t mean it is actually likely to happen, I meant that of all things that cause airplane crashes, unexpected software behavior plays a role in a surprisingly high percentage. Sorry if that was unclear. I read a few papers with some examples (not 10 though), I think this was one: http://sunnyday.mit.edu/accidents/i…

Thanks! That does sound pretty safe. Not too aggressive, sounds like the pilot is in control if he/she chooses

“Autoland can also activate automatically if the system determines it’s necessary,” the company hasn’t explicitly detailed what criteria it uses to make that call

The whole point though was to IMPROVE the algorithms FOR THE BENEFIT OF DARKER PEOPLE. It’s the fact of the lying and misleading that’s the problem, not the fact that they were targeting black people. The deception would be gross no matter who they were going after.

Google is seeking parity. By improving their algorithms to detect darker skin tones and allowing black people the same face-unlock functionality that pale people get. Did you even read the article? Racism would be if Google trained their dataset with white people alone, and ignored the difficulties black people had…

Why all the focus on targeting darker skin tones? That was the EXPLICIT need to make the product better for everyone. IMO this article would be a lot better by focusing the negative energy towards the shady consent practices.

Good article, dumbassess should always be called out when they publicly express fatalism and advocate inaction.

What a clickbait title. You say “never”, and then throughout your article you say “well, there’s lots of challenges and they will take a long time and high cost to solve and it’s not going to happen any time in the foreseeable future.” I’m sorry, when did “the rest of time that humans have in this universe” become…

The Saturn V was powered by Hydrogen and Oxygen, which produced water vapor as an exhaust product. But nice try.

not “provably” feasible or not “probably” feasible?
