It could be fun to implement this under *NIX for fun
cronjob to take screenshots, some OCR, throw it in a database...I'd never want to use this "feature" but as an academic exercise it could be a fun project.
But having it implemented by my OS, and not by me...yikes. No thanks.
Double-sided phone could be pretty neat.
So it's a security camera pointing at your screen, but with AI involved.
Honestly though, this sounds like the kind of thing you could hack together with a shell script and OCR on a *NIX system in an afternoon. Cronjob to take screenshots and run them through OCR, keywords to a database. Add hooks to your window manager to take additional screenshots on relevant events (change desktop, application opens/new window on screen, etc.).
I was curious, so I looked it up and it seems that around 3KB is the max for a single 177x177 code (though I imagine this is a "soft" limit?). With 600DPI being common for laser printers, a DPI-limited 3KB would be well under 1cm x 1cm. My hunch is that this wouldn't be super reliable (DPI limit not necessarily the resolution of the printer?), but I'd be curious to see what the usable QR density actually is. But yeah...a few QR codes should do the trick!
I would be surprised if you couldn't get 8KB for 200 years out of standard flash simply by extreme duplication
8GB/8KB means a million copies on one (very small by today's standards!) drive.
Or is the failure mechanism something other than bitrot?
Anyone else getting Lando Norris vibes?
For the Spotlight issue, was this certainly a local change without consent, or was it a change in the way the query is processed on Apple's servers?
There is functionally no difference but it's a big philosphical difference.
I did this in undergrad. Campus security stopped me, I argued, he called his supervisor on the radio. We chatted for a while, and turns out he was from Venezuela, had studied what I was studying, and was an overall pleasant character. Supervisor response was basically, "wow college kids think they're really clever don't they?", and I was asked, politely, to cease.
I felt like a bit of a dick after that.
Eh, I assume there are a phenomenal number of job descriptions that are just copy-pasted over. Native [language] speaker, 5+ years coding experience in [framework that's been around for 3 years], etc.
Benchmarks are of course just benchmarks, but the single-core performance is better for the M2, and the range-topping M2 is about 2x faster than the i9.
Also, regardless of how something compares, if it is ever memory-bandwidth bound, then faster RAM should help. While most tasks may be CPU or IO bound, AFAIK there can still easily be memory bound tasks in real-world workloads.
I picked the i9-11900k for comparison since I think that was the last one to only support DDR4 (making it "DDR4 era"). Ryzen maybe faster in the DDR4 era though?
There's a certain irony in bemoaning subscription news paywalls on an article about the alternative, unsavory monetization paradigm...
