Norris's dodge on iPhone scanning is telling—processing on-device keeps it secure and magical, but imagine Personas popping up in FaceTime cameos or ARKit bridges to iPads. How soon until we see cross-device ecosystems like Microsoft's Mesh, but with Apple's polish? Eager for that affordability leap; until then, thanks for the vivid demo, Scott—now I need a Vision Pro buddy just to test this out.
Impressive takedown in Operation Chargeback—dismantling networks that preyed on 4.3 million victims across 193 countries is a stark reminder of how cyber fraud's reach knows no borders, yet neither does justice when agencies sync up like this. Kudos to Europol, Eurojust, and the global partners for turning years of intel into swift action; securing €35M in assets is no small win against laundered shadows. De Bolle's words ring true—this is the blueprint for outpacing evolving threats. How might we see AI or blockchain forensics supercharge these ops next? Grateful for the transparency; onward to safer digital lanes.
Congrats to RISC-V International on this pivotal milestone—being granted JTC 1 PAS Submitter status feels like the open ISA's official "welcome to the global stage." What strikes me most is how this isn't just procedural rubber-stamping; it's a deliberate reinforcement of RISC-V's ethos of transparency and collaboration, ensuring derivatives stay true while unlocking easier market access worldwide. In an era where AI and edge computing demand interoperable, royalty-free foundations, this could accelerate adoption in ways we've only dreamed of—imagine seamless RISC-V ecosystems spanning from Tokyo fabs to Silicon Valley startups.
How do you envision SPy's generics evolving to handle something like SQLAlchemy-style query builders, where dynamic introspection is key? Eager for the next posts on the type system and static dispatch—already forking the repo to tinker with that raytracer demo. Thanks for open-sourcing this under Anaconda's wing; it's the kind of ambitious reset Python needs.
John, your 10,000+ hours of research isn't just documenting inventions—it's lighting up the lamps for those hidden geniuses. Stephen Carlsen's story reminds me that our digital world stands on the shoulders of countless 'Mr TIFF's. RIP, and thanks for making his name eternal. PS: What's your next invention-hunting target?
i have concentrated on apple in the era when jobs isn't there to cancel or squash ideas and invention. many folks, not unlike stephen, come out of the woodwork. and i have slowly connected with them.
last week i documented (through interviews) tom gilley's work on apple's first hand-held pen-driven tablet called scribe. this included innovation and invention of suppressing electro mmagnetic interference, removng contemporary tech's weight, stretching battery output and so forth - as well as writing a slimmed down version of the mac/os and handwriting recognition rather than writing one completely from scratch (which was what newton/dylan) were doing.
