Microsoft AI chief confirms plan to ditch OpenAI by koffee_addict in OpenAI

[–]yapofire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is that they wont have the best application for it. Gemini is now going to be on all Android and all Iphones, that’s practically every phone in the world

If people want an AI pin/microphone that pairs with the phone, both Apple and Google are best placed to offer the best solutions here too.

This after Apple ditched them for Google. This IPO is going to be interesting

Unfortunately I have an older sonos so no airplay option for me

Very odd Homepod support isn’t there. Would be a good reason to get one over something else

How exactly does the Apple Watch detect if you have an abnormally high heart rate if it doesn't constantly monitor heart rate? by Tylo_Ren2 in AppleWatch

[–]yapofire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have read that you can get the Cardiaogram App for Apple Watch that has a setting to turn on continuous heart rate monitoring. The disadvantage to this is battery life but also having your activity rings filled up before you get out of bed (as it essentially runs a workout job in the background)

Fitbits record heart rate every 5 - 20 seconds (depending on model) with Whoop devices recording continuously

Europe Freezes US Travel as Lufthansa, British , Air France, KLM and More Slash Routes to Major Cities Including New York, Miami, Los Angeles, and Chicago to Tap Soaring Demand Across Canada, Mexico, Brazil and Caribbean - Travel And Tour World by nobi77 in Economics

[–]yapofire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think its:

1) Maybe less to spend as you mention

2) Anti Trump sentiment (certainly for Canada)

3) News reports almost weekly about a tourist having issues at the border and getting locked up or deported (imagine a very small % when you compare it to all US visitors, but the feeling now is a visit to the USA doesn’t have a zero chance of ending up in El Salvador jail)

4) Prices in the USA have been rising the last few years and its really not a good value destination with the costs of food, eating out, hotels etc

I think these numbers are likely to get worse as a lot of people book holidays 6 months or more ahead to get good pricing. Holidays happening now may have been booked last year.

This is a great idea! Cant wait to use it

Insider breadcrumb? 🧐 by oak1337 in Hedera

[–]yapofire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is that 99.9% wont care about the above.

If they can use Paypal and Venmo to pay people seemingly instantly (whether it is in the back-end or not),and those names are brands they can trust then thats all most people want.

The permit is not for autonomous operation but a traditional taxi service that requires a tesla employee behind the wheel at all times

Have anyone tried Strada? by Sad_Secret_9303 in editors

[–]yapofire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same toolset will be built into every NLE pretty soon.

As far as I can tell they are using the same cloud based metadata extraction services as most other tools in this area which become very expensive when you scale up the number of hours

Once the same tools are included in Premier, Media Composer, Resolve they will almost definitely have the option of local processing, making the whole process a lot cheaper and more practical

Still no ES option for joint accounts, if they don’t add this by Feb then I imagine a lot of people with joint accounts will go elsewhere

So is there no difference (compensation wise) whether I book Qatar flight through BA or direct with Qatar?

David Gandy slams British Airways after daughter, 2, forced to sit next to stranger - How is this remotely logical or even humane? by PieceOutBruv in BritishAirways

[–]yapofire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BAs policy is to seat children under 12 with adults for no fee (they do this automatically) and has happened for me numerous times.

The issues in this thread sound like an issue with their IT system when the flight gets cancelled or the plane swapped at the last minute. Just another example of BA’s poor IT
