Your argument boils down to Apple being the first one to use "App", which is an abbreviation for "Application".

But as fas as I know, that's exactly the same case for OpenAI GPT, they were first to use that abbreviation.


Timing may be the difference. Apple may have trademarked "app" before popularizing it. OpenAI may be trying to trademark GPT after it is already being generally used by non-OpenAI people.


ChatGPT is trademarked same as App store.

neither app nor gpt alone qualify


I hope that javascript filter runs on the server and not on the web browser...


The php runs on the server, and does the same thing.

The JavaScript posts excessive status messages, and only allows a submit when all checks have passed.


"But simpler not-plug-in hybrids bucked this trend, with 26 percent fewer reliability problems than conventionally powered vehicles."

I think it makes a clear distinction between EV, plug-in hybrids and non-plug-in hybrids


This is nuts, isn't Samsung aware that tourism is a big thing nowadays?

Imagine going on holidays to Mexico and your phone stops working because some smartass at Samsung is pushing for price discrimination.


If you’re okay with software companies charging different prices for users from different regions, how is this any different?

Also your phone don’t just drop dead once you enter Mexico, you’d have to activate the phone with a non-native samsung account for the block to kick in. My Germany created Samsung account still works on my German Samsung phone despite having living in Asia.


> If you’re okay with software companies charging different prices for users from different regions

We're not.


Who is to say we are ok with software companies doing it?


Plenty of apologiszm for them in this thread.


it's one thing to charge different prices per region, but quite another to disable the software or device just because i am moving to another country, or bought something while travelling.


They're both bullshit though. They make extra e-waste, give customers confusing hassles to deal with and retard the benefit of cheaper goods from abroad for more expensive countries which was really the only positive aspect to your common worker in those countries enabled by global trade.


> If you’re okay with software companies charging different prices for users from different regions, how is this any different?

You're asking how is backdoor access to other people's devices different from charging different prices? Are you perhaps confusing the goal (maximize profits through market segmentation) with the method (break into other people's property using a backdoor of your making, and sabotage that property)?


There is no explanation about how Kalman filters work in the article, it is just an advertisement for a book. And the book preview doen't even cover how to apply Kalman filters to conventional state space models.


You can navigate on the left side of the page. Seems fairly well put together from a quick glance. https://www.kalmanfilter.net/kalman1d.html


Thanks for pointing it out, it was not obvious on my phone.

I think that this website needs to improve the experience of mobile users. First, the book index on the landing page didn't contain hyperlinks to the free book chapters and these chapters don't appear on the preview, so users may assume it is a shady marketing tactic (trial, requires retweet, subscription to book platform, ...). Second, towards the end of the page, there could be a one-sentence-description of the next section with an hyperlink. Right now there is only a "next" button that is easy to miss, and it can be confused with generic "next post" buttons used by many blog platforms that users learn to ignore because they tend to be useless.


For those into board games, financial misconduct of early american railroad companies inspired the renown game "1830: The Game of Railroads and Robber Barons" and the 18xx game series.


I don't understand why modern thinkpads are so hyped.

Recently I bought a L14 AMD and it doesn't even come with a decent keyboard or touchpad. The touchpad feels laggy and clunky, there are many of such reports for L14 and T14 models. The built-in keyboard ocassionally gets stuck pressing a key, and the I need to suspend-and-resume to unstuck it.

As you said, usb-c dock problems are a nightmare. Better get a good usb 4 cable with 40 gbps and 100 watts, or else you will spend countless hours doubting if problems are because of the cable. Spoiler: it's not any particular cable, it's the laptop.

For comparison, we use dell latitutes (intel) at work and they just work fine. I wonder if problems are common to all modern thinkpads, or if it only affects AMD models.


From what I can tell from the two Lenovo products we have in the house -- an all-in-one machine with a stylus (for my daughter for art) and this Z16 ... Lenovo (esp AMD Lenovo) has a serious software quality problem. Everything from BIOS & drivers up to their awful custom packaging of Windows. I'm a Linux guy but I keep a Windows partition around and on both machines life got a lot better after I removed the stock Lenovo Windows install and got a fresh install on it.

But firmware has been a total nightmare. Just one quality problem after another.

But hardware seems good.

Never used to be like this. Had older thinkpads and they were great.

Still I should say I prefer working on my Z16 vs the HP laptop provided by work. It has a different bag of problems, and a terrible keyboard and trackpad.


Gmail does not support base64 images according to caniemail

https://www.caniemail.com/features/image-base64/

The most reliable method is to attach a png image to the email and reference it from the body using `<img src="cid:insert_cid_ref_here" `


For the particular case of creating a wireguard mesh network in kubernetes, I've been quite happy with Kilo[0]. Does anyone with experience in both kilo and netmaker know how they compare?

[0]: https://kilo.squat.ai/


Kilo is cool! And works. It will be similar, just sort of depends on what you're comfortable with and what sort of management features you need. Some people like a UI where they can see all their nodes and troubleshoot without having to SSH, which is a primary advantage, but Kilo is probably better for smaller setups that are purely for Kubernetes.


I remember looking at both and deciding on Netmaker at the time. Netmaker should be able to do a strict superset of what kilo does. I was able to get Netmaker running on Kubernetes by injecting the client onto each node via a daemonset.


Does a student J1 visa qualify? Or are you required to have a resident permit?


I had a J1 and I will apply. The website only says ‘resided in us at the time’
