Figma Disables AI App Design Tool After It Copied Apple’s Weather App
“Ultimately it is my fault for not insisting on a better QA process for this work and pushing our team hard to hit a deadline,” Figma’s CEO said.Emanuel Maiberg (404 Media)
Listeners to my presentation over the weekend about AI in the workplace will note my observation that it would be wonderful if you could ask JAWS Picture Smart questions in advance of the image being submitted, such as, "Describe the pie chart only". I knew this JAWS feature was coming but could not say so. Here it is.
Very useful for example if you've submitted a form on a web site and you've not moved to the next screen. You can ask, "what are the errors in this form?"
You could also write, "solve this captia for me", without having to scan the image first.
I really believe in this additional enhancement.
Quoting David Goldfield: The July update for JAWS 2024 has been released. It includes an easier way of using Picture Smart, the ability to ask a question upon submitting an image, an alert warning if there's an issue with the image, like the window not being maximized, initial support for the new Outlook app replacing Windows Mail, lots of improvements to Web and Aria navigation, improved Teams support and lots more.

On July 2, 1982, Larry Walters attached 43 weather balloons to his lawn chair, filled them with helium, put on a parachute, and strapped himself into the chair.
Later, when a reporter asked what made him decide to take a patio chair aloft, Walters explained:
"A man can't just sit around."

moreover, the section on “ideologically motivated changes” remains in the project’s CoC.
Edit: there’s a PR to change the latter under review in the SerenityOS repo.
@Seirdy Yeah, I'm sorry to report that SerenityOS is still *like that*, and has not yet improved due to the BDFL leaving: hachyderm.io/@Mara/11271851577…
I shouldn't be surprised, of course the BDFL attracted people like him in leadership positions.

Does this already look unreadable to you?
#Ciphertext is nothing else than unreadable data. To decipher it, you need the #key. 🔑
Interestingly enough, already Ancient Greeks used ciphers.
Learn how they did it and what has changed since: tuta.com/blog/what-is-cipherte…
nope! That is not unreadable 🤣 It is Greek that any Greek can read and it is not cyphered! Just it doesn't make sense as we see only a small portion of the text but still some words are readable.
We get what you want to say though 😉 and the scytale (σκυταλη) is the perfect example to explain simply encryption and decryption of a message.
Wenn über die Wiedereinsetzung der Vermögensteuer gesprochen wird, kommt immer wieder das Argument der Steuerflucht auf. Mit unserer neuesten Studie zusammen mit Oxfam Deutschland räumen wir endlich damit auf.
Die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse der Studie:
➡️ Seit die Vermögensteuer in 🇩🇪 ausgesetzt ist, fehlen 380 Mrd. € in der Gemeinschaftskasse. Das sind ca. 80% des Bundeshaushalts 2024.
➡️ Die Vermögen der 100 reichsten Deutschen sind seit 2001 um etwa 460 Mrd. € gewachsen.
➡️ Unter den 226 🇩🇪 Milliardär*innen aus der Liste des manager magazin finden sich nur 29 Personen, die sich der Steuerpflicht durch Wegzug entziehen wollten.
➡️ Seit 1972 wurden die Gesetze gegen Steuerflucht und Maßnahmen gegen illegale Steuerhinterziehung verschärft.
➡️ Steuerflucht ist teuer. Wollte BMW-Erbin Susanne Klatten mit ihrem Vermögen wegziehen, müsste sie ca. 30% ihres geschätzten Vermögens an Steuern zahlen.
Also: Keine Angst vor Steuerflucht! Es fehlt nur der politische Wille, um die Vermögensteuer wieder einzusetzen. (1/2)
