DecentShoes··on The iPhone 15 Pro’s Depth Maps
Definitely not, that works on any image no matter the source. Also depth probably wouldn't help you that much, practically everything would include the floor or table it was sitting on in that case.

That would be a machine-learning only approach, semantic segmentation.

No OS or app should be able to stop me taking screenshots. Not my phone, not my desktop. It's MY device. I should be able to take screenshots of whatever the hell I want.
DecentShoes··on YouTube's new ads will ruin the best part of a video on purpose
They want to make it unusable without Premium. This will just get worse and worse until everyone gives in.

Manifest V3? No ad blockers in Chrome?
DecentShoes··on Can you trust that permission pop-up on macOS?
*the App Store where apple can be more sure they'll get a 30% cut
DecentShoes··on I can’t understand Apple’s Critical Alert policy (2023)
It's easy to understand: Apple is deliberately abusing its power to gain an unfair competitive advantage.
DecentShoes··on Netflix is changing its interface – what it means for you
Do they still have that awful thing where it always plays video with sound while browsing the menu? I quit back then and haven't used it since.
DecentShoes··on Legendary Bose Magic Carpet Suspension Is Finally Going Global
I had to look up what a traffic circle is, but apparently it just means roundabout. And yes, I do want roundabouts, who wouldn't?

Is there any serious argument against them? I've heard they aren't common in America.

DecentShoes··on The App Review Guidelines have been updated for compliance with courts
So they're going to continue enforcing these insane rules outside the US?
DecentShoes··on Reddit data breach: undeletes all your post & comments, again ...
I don't know if anything has changed, but at least it used to be the case that editing a reddit comment to remove something really deleted the original text in their database, but deleting it did not.
DecentShoes··on Office is too slow, so Microsoft is making it load at Windows startup
How are you doing Spotify?

This is absolutely insane and will kill the app I'm making. Google has too much power.

Is there some commercial service I can just pay to do this?

DecentShoes··on Waymo and Toyota outline partnership to advance autonomous driving deployment
I strongly disagree. Go look at the videos of the current iteration of FSD.
DecentShoes··on Mastercard Gives AI Agents Ability to Shop Online for You
"The agent would then search and offer the customer options, and then be able to make the purchase while also recommending the best way to pay, Mastercard said"

I wonder what MasterCard thinks is the best way to pay? Visa?

DecentShoes··on Backblaze responds to claims of "sham accounting", "customer backups at risk"
What makes a company like this lose so much money? I'm paying 15$ a month for years for a tiny tiny bit of hard drive space. Where does all the money go? What's the big money sink with something like this?

I'm not doubting it, just would like to understand.

DecentShoes··on "The last couple GPT-4o updates have made it too sycophant-y, working on fixes"
I noticed last week it had suddenly turned from the Terminator into Jimmy Fallon.

It went from "as a language model I do not have opinions or feelings" to "wow, what a GREAT question, I LOVE that you asked me this, it's so interesting!!".

We all know it doesn't have feelings. It's so phony and annoying, and isn't it a waste of compute? I assumed it was on purpose because they determined people prefer an AI that kisses their ass.

So he'll be shitting down Facebook, then?

Isn't this the purpose of most acquisitions?

DecentShoes··on We are still using 88x31 buttons
Kinda seems like an article like this should have some pictures of this button?
DecentShoes··on An interactive-speed Linux computer made of only 3 8-pin chips
I still install brand new computers with serial ports! Dell sells us OptiPlex towers and we occasionally order them with a serial card to connect to legacy scientific instruments.
DecentShoes··on Ploopy Classic 2 open source trackball
I agree. I actually almost bought a trackball, thinking it was a mouse that also had a trackball in it, because of this misleading naming.
DecentShoes··on TV Garden
It's cool, but are you not worried about a huge lawsuit from rebroadcasting copyrighted content without a licence?
