  • Test Yourself: Which Faces Were Made by A.I.?

    Jump

  • For me it was the eyes. Pretty much all of the real faces had realistic reflections in the eyes. The AI ones didn’t.

    I got 8/10. The blond AI and the dude with glasses were the two I missed.

  • Don't expect iPhone apps to get cheaper now that you can pay for them outside of the App Store

    Jump

  • The article isn’t exactly clear, but it seems like Apple is going to allow third party processing for in app purchases now alongside using the App Store payment system, which will be subject to the App Store fee plus whatever the third party processing fee is, but linking to an external website will not. Apple is requiring information about revenue generated from third party payment systems within the app to set the appropriate App Store fee. 12 or 27% now down from 15 and 30%.

    They are also explicitly going to allow apps to link to external websites for payment processing, which won’t be subject to any App Store fee.

  • No, Apple only charges commission on purchases within the app using apples system. You can implement your own and tell people to make a purchase they need to go to your website.

    That’s what Netflix has always done as one example.

  • Stripe standard is 3% plus 30 cents per transaction.

    If your app costs $1 or you IAP costs $1, stripe would cost you 33 cents for that transaction. Or 33%.

    To get down below 15% total you would need to have your average transaction would need to be $2.50 or higher.

    The average app price on the App Store is 88 cents. https://www.statista.com/statistics/267346/average-apple-app-store-price-app/

    And the median in app purchase is about $1.30. https://techcrunch.com/2022/09/13/apples-in-app-purchase-prices-jumped-40-year-over-year-likely-tied-to-privacy-changes/

    The vast majority of developers would pay more to use something like stripe.

  • Important to note that the 30% cut is also only on developers that bring in >$1M in revenue from the App Store and in app purchases. Which is less than 1% of developers.

    For those under $1M it’s only 15%, which is on par or cheaper than what developing your own payment processing or to use another third party processor.

  • Apple hopes to convince people to buy its $3,500 Vision Pro headset using free 25-minute in-store demos

  • Company sells goods to consumers, more at 11.

    There’s always people out there that want to be on the bleeding edge. People spend $2000+ on just a 4090 card, or $2000 on a stupid folding phone that breaks from a grain of sand.

  • For a high end enterprise geared headset that functions as its own standalone device and doesn’t require any connection to any other computer to work, this isn’t even expensive.

    This isn’t meant to compete with something like a Quest. It’s meant to compete with something like the Varjo Aero, which goes from $5-10k.

    For a company deciding on implementing AR/VR, the cost to get a Quest Pro for $800 plus a $2500 workstation to power it, vs a $3500 Vision Pro that doesn’t need a workstation, it’s pretty comparable.

  • The fact that they changed all references to it from “Vision Pro” to just “Apple Vision” really supports that.

  • TIL eating 1 gram polar bear liver can be fatal due to an overdose of vitamin A that makes your skin fall off

    Jump

  • By an order of magnitude.

    WWF estimates around 26,000 polar bears remaining (22,000-30,000). And there are 2640 billionaires globally according to Forbes.

  • Wi-Fi 7 quietly took off while everyone was looking at AI

    Jump

  • It won’t be worth it for a hot minute. There are only a few routers on the market and they range from several hundred to a couple thousand.

    And there are even fewer devices that support it. There are a couple laptops that support it, but they’re a few thousand dollars.

  • Why Are American Drivers So Deadly?

    Jump

  • Because you can make statistics say anything you want to?

    We are an extremely car dependent nation and therefore have more vehicles per capita than most other countries, and drive more miles, leading to more opportunities for vehicle collisions.

    Fatalities per 100,000 vehicles, we average below what Europe as a whole does. Europe as a whole averages 19 fatalities per 100,000 cars. The US averages 16.1.

    Africa as a whole averages 574 fatalities per 100k cars. Southeast Asia averages 101 per 100k cars. The Americas as a whole average 33 per 100k cars.

    And per 100,000 people the US itself varies by state just like Europe does per country. The US ranges from a low of 5.7 per 100,000 people in Rhode Island (on par with France or Canada which both have 5.8) to a high of 26.2 in Mississippi (on par with Ghana).

  • VW solid-state battery retains 95% capacity over 1,000 charge cycles in lab testing

  • https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen

    Founded by the German Labour Front, the Nazi party’s national labour organization.

    In 1934, with many of the above projects still in development or early stages of production, Adolf Hitler became involved, ordering the production of a basic vehicle capable of transporting two adults and three children at 100 km/h (62 mph). He wanted a car every German family would be able to afford.

    It soon became apparent that private industry could not turn out a car for only 990 ℛ︁ℳ︁. Thus, Hitler chose to sponsor an all-new, state-owned factory using Ferdinand Porsche's design (with some of Hitler's design suggestions, including an air-cooled engine so nothing could freeze).

    The beetle having a rear mounted air cooled engine was Hitler’s design.

  • Modern ICE cars do not use fuel when coasting down hill. The computer completely shuts off the fuel injectors when coasting and the physical energy from the car rolling keeps the engine turning over.

  • Bill Granger, Australian chef who brought avocado toast to the world, dies at 54

    Jump

  • Avocado toast itself is a great meal. If you make it at home, it’s a cheap meal full of good fats that will keep you full for a while.

    Avocado toast in a cafe or something is stupid because they charge $15-20 for something that costs $1 to make.

  • Terminally online people say this, but their annual profit has increased year over year except for 2020 when everything was shut down.

    They had a 9.6% increase yoy from 2022. Which was itself a 5% increase from 2021.

    And even with Covid they rebounded to exactly where they were as soon as the shutdowns hit.

    They went down 12.7% from 2019 to 2020, but went back up 29% for 2020-2021 and has increased ever since.

    So the question of who is gonna eat there is answered. It’s everyone except you apparently. Everyone else keeps buying and pushing their revenue and profit higher year over year.

    They have had 2 bad years in the last 15. They probably know a wee bit more than the average Lemming.
