> In the future, I intend to sell internet access via the UniFi Captive Portal

I'm pretty sure Telstra, Optus, Vodafone disallow reselling.

That's just what we Australians like you to think. Drop bears are actually not very common.

> As a bonus, emscripten/WASM compiled code will also be more efficient in the browser than plain JavaScript or Typescript.

Small gains compared to the cost of implementing. 10-20%. Now you're asking your full-stack developers to know PHP, JS, C, and WASM.

What about that thread shows she's toxic?

> spilling 'special sauce' information to the public. You never heard of it, and that's a good thing.

okay, cool. That's not what's going on here. We're talking about AI ethics, and the goal is that our (society's) use of AI meets a high bar for ethics and equity.

Zero doubt? Wow, wish I had such confidence to make claims about things I know little about.

Each photo's geolocation data is stored. Of course.

It is shown in the UI, as well as indexed so you can search by location.

For example, I can search for "photos of dogs in Portland" and it'll show all the pics of dogs I've taken in Portland.

Some policies will disable your Yubikey/U2F key if it goes unused for N days. Usually low enough that it's annoying to keep a backup key.

We've used https://rsc.io/2fa to share TOTP keys between multiple individuals. We store the secret key in a shared password store that's also behind a separate 2FA login.

For U2F, check out https://github.com/github/SoftU2F

Also, correction, the correct import is

    _ "google.golang.org/grpc/xds"

"The team also tested their approach on a collection of 30 challenges in DeepMind Lab using a more powerful 36-core 4-GPU machine. The resulting AI significantly outperformed the original AI that DeepMind used to tackle the challenge, which was trained on a large computing cluster."

Well, they presumably tested the same CPU with 4 GPUs (2080 Ti I think) - maybe they wanted to compare.

Yep. It's useless for activity tracking.

It thought I was sedentary while I was doing a spin workout.

They still don't have a way to manually start activity tracking via an app.

Earth = consumer globe viewer.

Earth Pro = prosumer Google Earth.

Earth Enterprise = private, offline globe.

Earth Engine = research-oriented massively parallelized ML-based imagery analysis platform.

Google Earth Enterprise is a very different thing, but is a great call out.

The Twitter thread linked at the very top of the page talks about it. https://twitter.com/mouthofmorrison/status/12656350684684861...

> As for Google Maps. The biggest tell is that there’s almost no geospatial capability in the software. They don’t want you to analyze and understand. They just want you to consume “where is X”. It’s a standard Google vector for ads approach.

It was never meant for that. That is/was Google Earth Pro.
