And this is when we realize that the title deserves a [2019] tag.

Wrong layout. The Xbox layout is the only correct layout. I’ll die on this hill. :P

it has the same button layout as the Xbox, or what do you mean? which is wrong, btw, the only good layout is the OG Nintendo layout :)

Asymmetric joysticks

Erm, so why wouldn’t I just use WhatsApp as a PWA? I wouldn’t even need to waste the disk space for yet another browser runtime.

When you're using WebView2, it uses Windows' built-in browser runtime (Chromium/Edge). Electron ships a browser runtime, but the article notes they're using WebView2.

I was very confused, too. I mean, I do have a YubiKey but Twitter/X has never (or for a very very very long time not) asked me to use my YubiKey to authenticate. As far as I could remember, I only need to use OTP from Authy as 2FA to login. So the whole thing smelled really fishy.

It's interesting how they use "Gundam" in their variant names. I gather that Gundam-M and Gundam are their most powerful ones.

I think maybe to distinguish their dynamic resolution approach from the t-shirt sizes, which have a fixed input. (Although I don't know why "Gundam")

It's odd. It seems like this is not the first Japanese team to have developped artificial blood. I did a quick search and it seems there was another team at least as early as 2019 (https://web.archive.org/web/20201111233217/http://www.asahi....)

So what's different this time?

(Upon further examination, the 2019 team at the National Defense Medical College also had Dr Hiromi Sakai. So why is this news now?)

In your link they have only done tests on rabbits.

In this post they have already done some tests on humans and are now increasing the dosage since March.

> Small-scale studies began in 2022. Three groups of four healthy male volunteers aged 20 to 50 received a single intravenous injection of hemoglobin vesicles — artificial oxygen carriers that mimic the structure of red blood cells — in increasing amounts, up to 100 milliliters. While some participants experienced mild side effects, there were no significant changes in vital signs, including blood pressure. Building on that success, Sakai announced that his team was accelerating the process last July. In March, it started administering between 100 and 400 milliliters of the artificial blood cell solution to volunteers.

> If no side effects are confirmed, the trial will shift to examining the treatment’s efficacy and safety. It aims to put the artificial red blood cells into practical use by around 2030.

Why did Apple call it M3 Ultra when it's supposed to be more performant than the current top of the line M4 Max? Why not just call it M4 Ultra?

Because it's two M3 Max chips fused with a high-speed link? The M4 Ultra will presumably be comprised of two M4 Max processors fused similarly (next year).

Oddly, the Chinese LLM host SiliconFlow only makes it available with 32k context, which is even smaller than their DeepSeek-R1 offering.

I'm in Canada and I just get auto-redirected to the kaspersky.ca home page when I try to visit the link.

They link here [0] for more details, which might be less geo-intercepted.

Yeah, was also thinking is Kaspersky pro-Putin or in exile? Might have read something at some point, but have forgotten.

You're confusing Kaspersky with Kasparov, perhaps?

One thing I don't understand is how the surgeon ensures the lens is positioned correctly. We're talking about a rigid lens that can no longer be controlled via muscles, right? Doesn't any misalignment mean you get a fuzzy image at best? And even if you can get a sharp image for some given, fixed distance, you still can't control whether to focus on near things or far things when you look, right??

If you've ever played around with a magnifying glass, they accept a surprising amount of tilt. It's not a clear image, but a blurry image is better than no image.

This surgery is for people who've had their eyes destroyed by chemicals or similar. They don't always have the structure remaining for any finer control.

Imagine if we could put an iphone camera or something like that into the eyeball and somehow wire it up to the brain. That'd be sick.
