That's almost what it does? It's in the article:

> "When a contact calls you and you're both using Phone by Google, their device sends a silent confirmation signal in real time to your device to verify the call is legitimate and truly coming from the contact's device," Google writes in a blog explaining the new feature. "Because this digital handshake uses end-to-end encrypted Rich Communication Services (RCS) technology, it is completely private."


Damn, I skimmed the linked article and hallucinated (all by myself, no AI involved) that the phone will be using AI (kaching) to detect if the caller is a deepfake voice...

They'll just tell you to clear cookies and use Chrome.

"RT kernels"

> For instance, an app can't start using Apple Intelligence if it's compiled with an older version of the SDK that doesn't know that such a thing exists.

That's not true, it became available in all NSTextViews by default, although with a bit different look.


I’m not talking about Writing Tools but being able to run chat queries to do things, ala OmniFocus. I could see Yojimbo using features like “summarize all the docs in this folder” or “suggest the right tags for this”. It can’t take advantage of those built-in features.

Well, obviously, software can't do things that the author didn't write code for. But AppKit components do get updated with some new features even if the original software didn't have support for them originally.

Fun fact: the original iPhone's UITextField and UITextView were backed by WebKit (https://x.com/kocienda/status/1400484168199401477)


How does a high-reliability system have a broken /dev/random? You're better off fixing it rather than trying to fix every downstream component that uses it. You can put your AES-128 counter there if you can count reliably.


That was after IAC:

"Additional acquisitions in 2006 included ShoeBuy.com,[46] which the company later sold to Jet,[47] and Connected Ventures including CollegeHumor and Vimeo".


Colin, if I remember correctly, you first ran Tarsnap servers on Ubuntu before you made FreeBSD work on EC2. At what point were you confident enough to switch to FreeBSD?


I think cc1.4xlarge was the first instance I ran the Tarsnap service on. Being HVM made me far more confident -- PV dramatically increases the risk of VM/paging bugs, which is exactly the way to get silent data corruption.

So... I'd have to check my notes to be sure but I think fall 2011?


They are a marketplace for model providers, which is quite a nice business model.


Being the middleman is always nice until the need is obviated. My understanding is that this is largely used to cycle through free usage tiers without getting rate-limited. Anonymous Credentials is designed to end that.

What makes this preferable to a self hosted or framework built-in version?

Convenience. They sell very convenient shovels in a goldrush.
