> NVIDIA’s CFO wrote me a letter stating that 15,625 shares of my stock options had vested, and that I was required to exercise them. I did, and then forgot all about it.

The original "phablet" was the Samsung Galaxy Note, considered comically large. At 147mm x 83mm, it's about the same size as the iPhone 18 Pro (150mm x 72mm)

> It would be extraordinarily easy to simply say, this model was not trained on your work, if that were the case.

The Huggingface Attack revealed that making blanket statements like this is difficult and requires quite a bit of manual labor:

1) the agents spin for days and produce too much output to review 2) using LLMs to process that output skips many important details

Ergo, the agent could likely decide it would like to look through actual user data, hack its way into that data, and produce way too much output for a human to decide whether or not this occurred.

Chrome on iOS has always been JIT'd because it used a WKWebView.

It still uses a WKWebView today, even in the EU, despite Apple now allowing alternative browser engines in the EU as of 2 years ago.

I'm sure Chrome will eventually ship Blink+V8 in the EU. It will take some time

This is already present today in California Driver's licenses in your Apple Wallet (mDL).

When you scan your driver's license at a compatible reader, you're given a notice of what information is being requested and the ability to share it (or not).

It can also request some derived attribute (is this person above the age of 21?) instead of the actual data field itself.

Most of this is from ISO/IEC 18013-5

> 2 billion tokens (mix of Opus and Fable), 24 hours

That's 1.3M tokens per minute. I suppose you mean input tokens? This would not have cost $2000 at API prices because you would have cache hits.
