Handoff initiated

[contains some spoilers from System Collapse by Martha Wells]

I was reading System Collapse, and wondered about differences in communication styles/limitations between ART and MB, and between ART and Iris.

[At the beginning of System Collapse when ART-drone gets separate from main ART just before the blackout zone]

ART's drone rose up out of the back row behind me [...]. The handoff hadn't occurred yet, but we were almost to the blackout point, forty-two seconds to go.

[...]

On the team feed, ART said, Handoff initiated. Good luck.

"Acknowledged. Thanks, Peri," Iris said, smiling. "Be careful up there. See you soon."

On my private feed, ART said, Take care of them. And yourself. Before I could come up with a reply, my awareness of ART, its cameras, its feed and comm, the humans working and talking to each other on ART, or using the comm to talk to Mensah and the other humans on the Preservation responder, dropped away. I had expected it to be immediate, but the voices and signals gradually lost volume, fading into an echo, then into nothing.

[Then when they reconnect with ART, and ART retrieves everything from ART-drone and they become one again]

ART slid into the shared processing space with ART-drone. For a brief moment, there was two of it. [...]

I was monitoring ART-drone's systems and it was dropping toward catastrophic failure. I said, You need to hurry.

ART: handoff initiated.

ART-drone: handoff.

And ART-drone shut down. Suddenly, it was just a chunk of metal. Iris made a half-sob noise that startled me so badly I flinched. She [...] and said on our private channel, Did they have time for the upload?

Yes, I said.

It struck me that even though Iris is an augmented human, interacting with ART since they were both babies, and its favourite human, she does not seem to have the full awareness of ART in her feed unlike MB does. She needs to be told when hanoff is initiated. She also didn't know whether ART-drone had time to upload everything to ART before it shut down, which terrified her with the possibility of losing even a little piece of her beloved Peri.

MB, on the other hand, could feel ART's presence in its feed as soon as they are within range. It could also monitor ART-drone's systems, just like ART (and ART-drone) has been monitoring MB's internal status. I wonder ART chose to conduct the handoff in the shared processing space between ART-drone and MB for a brief catch-up, or MB could observe handoff because it has been given full access to ART-drone.

Somewhere, MB mentioned that humans with some special augment can interact with feed more directly, like Gurathin did, but even with augments humans are slow and cannot process multiple things simultaneously unlike SecUnits. Maybe that is why Iris does not have access to ART's system as she is incapable to handling multiple inputs and would get confused.

I really liked the scene following the handoff where MB and Iris share some emotions. And seems like ART loved its favourite two sharing a moment about itself!

Mara Jade: The lesson is if you’re gonna be a criminal, do your homework.

Ghent: Wait, I’m not a bad guy.

Mara Jade: I didn’t say you were a bad guy. I said you’re a criminal.

iPhone Kamera nicht am Mac als WebCam benutzen

Seit geraumer Zeit gibt es die Möglichkeit sein iPhone als Webcam für seinen Mac zu verwenden. Das ist eine ganz nette Option, wenn man einfach eine besser Kamera an seinem Mac verwenden möchte, als die, die schon verbaut ist. Allerdings kann dies auch nerven und so muss ich bei jedem Teams-Meeting erst dort in die Einstellungen und dort die Kamera umstellen, weil (natürlich) die iPhone Kamera…

Project handoff is one of the most frustrating steps in product design. It’s when one team passes its work to the next and hopes it doesn’t break in the process. No Handoff is a practical guide to merging design and development to eliminate handoff.

Apple IDは作っといたほうがいいよね。無料だし。

先日Apple news記事を読んでいたらApple IDを使っていないという事例があると聞きました。Apple IDは特にApple製品を使っている人には不可欠なサービスです。 ぜひ紹介したいと思い動画を作成しました。

ちなみにWindows & Android携帯を使っている人も登録して損はないでしょう。

是非Apple IDを登録してください。

Cách sử dụng Handoff giữa máy Mac với Mac OS X và iPhone / iPad với iOS

Cách sử dụng Handoff giữa máy Mac với Mac OS X và iPhone / iPad với iOS

Handoff là một tính năng thực sự tuyệt vời của các phiên bản Mac OS X và iOS hiện đại, cho phép người dùng Mac chuyển hoặc tiếp tục một phiên ứng dụng đến iPhone hoặc iPad của họ hoặc ngược lại. Ví dụ: bạn có thể bắt đầu nhập email trên iPhone, sau đó chuyển nó sang máy Mac và hoàn tất việc viết email đó hoặc gửi đi. Hoặc nếu bạn đang đọc một bài báo trong Safari trên máy Mac và cần lao ra khỏi…

Tell me you don’t understand the medieval setting without telling me you don’t understand the medieval setting

BT: omg consistent laws on who gets power is basically supporting slavery!

At this point I can only laugh

If you must know why keeping consistent laws around power transfers are important, I’ll draw a little comparison. Imagine if the US president decided that Joe Shmo from Canada will be the next US president without any election. That’s basically what Viserys did in medieval terms. Does it look weird to modern people? Yeah, but when you actually put yourself in that time frame you understand why having consistent laws creates stability and avoids war. Like how the inconsistent handoff of power from Viserys to his kids caused war!

my only takeaway from the m9 animated series announcement is that having an essek line in the trailer was a Choice and im Happy About It

[sergle]

I'm pretty far away but I kinda do want the baby, is it possible at all that you'd consider driving partway?

if someone more local doesn't message/doesn't seem like a safe pick, I'd consider meeting someone part way to cut a drive down by a couple hours!
