Unix is both a family of operating systems and also a trademark. The name is overloaded - "Unix" is more than one thing at the same time. In addition, the trademark is "UNIX" and the operating system family is "Unix"
MacOS is both UNIX and also not Unix at the same time.
If the trademark holders decided to UNIX certify my cat, which is well within their legal right to do so, would that make her UNIX?
Like macOS, my cat does not qualify for the UNIX standard out-of-the-box and I'm far too lazy to configure my cat for an OS standard that's 25 years obsolete.
It also shows a (potential) lack of understanding of what's happening internally at the upper levels DigiCert. This might have been a known issue or some other very poorly handled thing, is part of a larger pattern or issue, and he's been given the chance to "resign".
Don't condemn people until you have all the facts, which multiple reporters are working on figuring out right now.
I meant it's a bit like the Lena image in digital image processing.
I get that the original author of the series is above board, but the fandom around touhou is full of enough toxic people that it's often the first thing one encounters or associates with the brand. Kind of like the tug of war with Pepe, but much worse.
I just now did a Google image search for "touhou" (just that term, no quotes) with safe search enabled and you might guess what came back. And these characters are supposed to be children.
I don't want to be a nanny or intrude on people who most likely mean no harm, but if video demos are to have a "standard" test video, should it really be Bad Apple? If you've got something really cool to show off, don't spoil it by associating it with that.
It just is a thing, tbh. It manifests in the data pretty clearly.
In aggregate, in large data sets, race comes through - especially with a few datapoints. For example, when I worked at a fintech company: with household income and zip code, we could accurately target race with >80% accuracy [0]. Add a few more datapoints, and this would very quickly get closer to 95% accuracy.
That was an _actual_ party-trick[1] demo we did, alongside also de-anonymizing coworkers based on car model, zip code, and bank name.
[0] I worked as a SecEng and were trying to prove that we were(n't) inadvertently targeting race, for compliance reasons. In the end, the business realized the threat and made required changes to prevent this.
[1] We were doing this to make a case for stricter controls and stronger isolation/security measures for storing non-PII data. The business also saw the light on this. Sometimes we'd narrow them down to 30 or 40 people in their zip code, and sometimes (such as a coworker with an old Bentley), it was an instant hit.
This is not an issue about "old hardware" or "old games", it's about an emulator for a currently selling system. I don't agree with what Nintendo is doing, but I understand why they're so angry.
Neither has anyone in the US - they're relatively niche pre-cursors to the SUV, sold a respectable yet tiny amount (500,000), and haven't shipped a product since 1980.
The article is pretty clear that it's going to be a service offered as a secondary option instead of core functionality.
>Apple is preparing new capabilities as part of iOS 18 — the next version of the iPhone operating system — based on its own AI models. But those enhancements will be focused on features that operate on its devices, rather than ones delivered via the cloud. So Apple is seeking a partner to do the heavy lifting of generative AI, including functions for creating images and writing essays based on simple prompts.
