Portrait mode's 'bokeh' was a risky and massive quest for perfection
Once all iPhones and iPads have LIDAR standard, it will be very useful for assisting the AI to determine what is actually foreground and background.randominternetperson said:
That brown shape in the top center of that image is exactly what can go wrong. The picture is great until you get distracted by that not-blurred-enough thing that looks like a borg implant on the far side of the subject's head. An SLR with a large aperture and shallow depth of field would have handled that better. I expect the development team would see this as an unfortunate edge case where their AI failed.AppleInsider said:

Apple releases iOS 14.1 and iPadOS 14.1 with bug fixes & iPhone 12 support
GarageBand now crashes continuously. This is in addition to the AU extension flaw introduced with the prior update. As far as I’m concerned this is a disastrous update for creative people/ musicians.

FCC head says commission can interpret Section 230 regulations, signals plan to do so
To the contrary, if protections are removed then anywhere people offer an opinion which could put a company at legal risk they will most likely just remove all comments. Facebook, Twitter and even AppleInsider would have to consider removing all comments. I know the comments section has been a source of aggravation for this site for years, but Facebook and Twitter would have to radically shift their business models or go out of business. Twitter would probably be most at risk.DAalseth said:Section 230 has been a favourite target of Republicans, who believe that social media companies use those protections to censor conservative viewpoints.
I'm laughing about this. They pull the protections of Section 230 and far from making the companies open their sites up, they are going to double and triple down on "censorship". You think they restrict certain viewpoints now? You ain't seen nothing like what will happen. If they are suddenly responsible for what appears on their sites, they will chop anything that is controversial, and that will mostly be right wing opinions. Aren't some conservative talking heads continually going on about how Silicon Vally is so "liberal". Well if they do what they are threatening, there's no reason for FaceBook, Twitter, etc to hold back.
I've got my popcorn.

Looks like you could use their clarification also. Just wait.carnegie said:

No, they’re providing clarity on Section 230 regulations, which have recently become a concern because of unprecedented abuses of the regulation.foregoneconclusion said:LOL...the FCC will suddenly provide "clarification" for a law that's been on the books and upheld in court rulings for decades? What a joke.
It's possible that the FCC can provide clarity on some aspects of how Section 230 should be interpreted. But what aspects would those be?
Some aspects - e.g., the unconditioned immunity of internet providers and users (as not being treated as the publishers of others' speech) - are already quite clear. -
