Exactly what I was wondering. Guessing maybe there's more URLs to list or maybe can do a wildcard block of *.bzr.openai.com and then whitelist more specific stuff if necessary

Edit: looks like it's already blocked by Hagezi Multi Pro (and maybe lower levels) and OISD :-D

Also recommend NextDNS

Forget if they have Hagezi though. Also it would be really nice if there was a way to export and import custom URL lists and rules....

What's the domain list ? Skimmed the article but still looking

ProRes is great but my many years old LG V60 will shoot real 8K video

For mobile devices they unfortunately do a much less technical analysis compared to "real" cameras and lenses. Or they just don't publish those parts. It's really unfortunate

It's not due to the aperture blades. It's due to the amount of spherical aberration in the lenses.

Professional camera lenses carefully control this. It's actually one of the only intentional "flaws" added to lens. Technically bokeh with a slight ring on it (on point lights) usually results in a tack sharp lens. You can see this in most macro lenses.

Portrait lenses are sort of the opposite - they want super smooth bokeh (point light sources in the blurred out of focus area will have a nice gradient that is soft and gradually drops off toward the edges). This results in a lens that has slightly less sharpness on the in focus portion. It's not that noticeable though on a great lens.

Most lenses are a balance. When shooting professional cinema many lenses are intentional chosen for their bokeh qualities. "Nervous" bokeh is more on the side of rings and is often found on older Russian and East German glass.

There are two lenses where the amount of spherical aberration is not baked into the lens. They were made by Nikon called "Defocus Control". The 105mm 2.0 DC and slightly older 135mm 2.0 DC both have a second ring that looks another aperture ring but allows adjustability of the spherical aberration from "nervous" to "smooth". They were marketed poorly and misunderstood but are some of the best glass you can get - they test insanely well and have huge flexibility.

How do you see the firehose ?

I've always had showdead on but don't often actually see a ton of dead comments. Occasionally I see one that's dead and seems odd (and sometimes interesting). Lot of the time it is stuff I'm not surprised is dead.

And rarely I see something that seems very very odd it's dead - although in those cases I usually assume it's just a bunch of bots or people downvoting (vs some kind kf moderator conspiracy)

I wonder if we could learn to provide a check layer by simulating (in real life) a similar philosophical idea to increased context in LLM to something similar using real people. And then based on those simulations create a framework to both automatically check LLM errors as well as providing a better way for actual real people to be involved in the process in the most efficient way.

Do they do alerts ? Been also using UpDog (based on DataDog) which actually has been quite good. They have a single status page for many services who integrate their products

What kind of earthquakes in California ?

You can if you don't tell them :-D

Or "developer" in this case is the AI ignoring its own iterative self improvement

Or the ones doing the stealing are so competent (or embedded) we don't hear about it

Probably Panasonic. They're like the Apple of the B2B world. Except they also make everything

It used to be that " 5 nines " was the gold standard. I cant believe were now down to 0 for a major service........

Isnt downdetector just people reporting its down though? Its useful for sure but not actually hooking into any officialy API or anything. Great for when the status page also goes down but surely a lag time

Isnt that slower though? Maybe Im not thinking of ROM specifically (the architecture/chip) but a different form of read only cache that can be located close to the compute and is super fast

It's probably a dedicated government type thing where the data is housed seperately from normal AWS

Magic Lantern was awesome. I still have raw video sequences I shot on a 5D mkiii

Exactly. If we ever get models that stabilize in terms of capabilities (and arent leapfrogging each other month after month) you have a "cartridge" like thing that just plugs in with the latest model in a read only ROM thats super fast.

As far as the interconnect to the GPU/CPU - thats a different story. But with Nvidia acquiring Mellanox and Nvlink getting faster and faster I assume well get there

So after disabling this I realised since I only have an iPhone (and no Mac or other Apple devices) I should disable anything and everything in the settings that syncs stuff between devices. There was also one about the Focus options (like Do Not Disturb) and some other ones. I figure this can only simplify everything and speed up the phone if it never has to check for any (non existent) device to sync settings against. Still have all my local phone settings backing up to iCloud

So I don't have kids but in the keynote I remember them making a big deal about totally revamping it in 27. I know they definitely added a way to officially lock it (with a passcode) so your kids won't be able to theoretically just deactivate screen time. I think before you technically could do sorta the same thing (you can restrict almost any app to require FaceID or passcode to unlock).

There's also the assistive access or whatever which really locks the phone down but that seems more like for old people.

Alternatively if you wanted to get advanced you could maybe (not sure if it's free) create an Apple business account and try to manage the phone like corporations do. Or you may just be able to generate a configuration profile for free and add to the device. I would expect that process to be a lot more robust generally. You can control pretty much anything. Downside is if you don't have an MDM your stuck with whatever settings are baked into that config profile. Depending what you want to restrict you could pair it with something like NextDNS and lock it down to only safe sites.

Sounds like Android is way better though in this regard. Having to setup a child specific account at the beginning of setup sounds like a pain. If I ever have kids makes me really want to only give them a dumb phone or something like the new (unreleased as of yet) Commodore Callback - has some smartphone features but intentionally no social media

You find a way to turn it off ? I completely disabled Siri immediately but a lot that stuff still shows up

Orion is pretty solid

What doesn't work ?

Wasn't that the fix they last minute deployed in 26.6.2 or something ?

Where is that setting ? Can only find continuity related to AirPlay

Edit:

Disabled everything on "Continuity and AirPlay" as well. Guessing it might be the "Handoff" setting. Not sure that the menu pops up any faster though

Good thing they're an independent org with no one owner that has a huge investment in a single hardware implementation

Magnifying style shop glsssed might actually be perfect for this. I use them for electronics repair (they also only focus close which is sort of a benefit here). Downside for me is they fit in a way that is too high (they are designed for looking straight ahead) that would be great for this
