  • An enclave is defined as an area within a territorial boundary. So an exclave is an area outside of a boundary with ties to the main territory

    Essentially, Apple is trying to realize the security advantages of a microkernel without tossing the monolithic aspects of XNU.

    “In iOS 18, exclaves refer to specific resources that are separated from the main iOS kernel (XNU) and cannot be accessed by it, even if the kernel is compromised,"

    Pretty neat hardening of the OS. Decent write up that isn’t too deep in the weeds.







  • That was once a lot more true than nowadays since the software has ways to mitigate the degradation. Once you’ve gone to a display with true black like OLED, nothing no else compares honestly. They even make movie theater screens look bad. It’s not possible to have a projector give you true black. Better contrast sure, but not true black. There is a limit to contrast anyway since human eyes can only see so bright.



  • However, not everyone thinks AGI is a dead certainty. Some experts argue that human intelligence is more multifaceted than what the current definition of AGI describes. For example, some AI experts think of the human mind in terms of eight intelligences, of which “logical-mathematical” is just one (alongside it exists, for example, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and existential intelligence). Deep learning pioneer Yann LeCun thinks AGI should be rebranded to “advanced machine intelligence,” and argues that human intelligence is too specialized to be replicable. The report also suggests that, while AI can be an important tool in making new discoveries, it can’t make these discoveries on its own.

    This is more realistic.

    LLMs aren’t even close to intelligent, they just regurgitate information. Human thought is many times more complex. Even basic animals are more complex.



  • That’s a good angle I hadn’t considered.

    I grew up on the east coast and the power would go out almost every storm thanks to blown transformers.

    I moved to Colorado 18 years ago and I’ve had 2 outages since. 1 was planned maintenance we were given plenty of warning of and the other was because a vehicle hit a ground transformer and took it out, power was restored the same day. They’re eons ahead of anywhere with lines still on poles. Everything gets buried here on build out. It’s freaking great.





  • Was going to post this. They’re just burying their heads in the sand.

    Lemmy’s onboarding is trash and so is the main UI. Get away from that and it’s actually great. BUT, most people used the Reddit app when Reddit still allowed 3rd party apps and access so you HAVE to appeal to the masses, no matter how dumb you think they are. Don’t complain about not having mass appeal if you don’t want mass appeal or listen to them and make the change they’re asking for.
