There are a lot of days I'd be strongly tempted to answer that with "Google", but that's unfair since they usually just kill the product rather than actively making it worse.
Does that mean that iPhone 15 Pro camera has the same physical module as iPhone 14 Pro, apart from some software changes? Or did they release a wrong data for their comparator on apple website?

Except there's no fee for the first 200k installs, so the Unity fee is only $10k for the 50k after the threshold.

You could also have saved $8k by upgrading to Unity Pro for $2040, though of course you run the risk of paying for that plan and not selling 250k units.
It shouldn't matter, but I'm personally delighted that the driver was female.
> The office has no wifi

I suspect the vast majority of people out there who use a laptop at work have wifi in their office. Certainly some people might prefer to use ethernet while at their desk, but that sort of thing is always what docking stations have been for.

I wish I had been warned so I could have grabbed one before it was gone.
The EU prices of iPhone make them luxury objects, there is barely any meaningful pricing difference between the cheapest iPhone 15 (950EUR) and iPhone 15 Pro (1200EUR).
I have this decades-old memory of science magazine articles about acoustic imaging using phased microphone arrays. Unlike phased-array radars of the time, it claimed to be passive and the imagery was shocking. The example images I recall were underwater and looked like some ray-tracing scene but where the surface ripples were like ceiling lights.

It seemed like the kind of thing that was going to revolutionize sensing applications. I remember wondering whether it could work in air instead of underwater, such as to provide better visual sensing in fog/smoke conditions. But, I have trouble finding any reference to it, and always wondered where it went...
So, this is based on the assumption that electricity coming into the home is 100% efficient and none of the systems inefficiencies in power generation or delivery need to be accounted for, the way they are in fossil fuels?

That doesn't seem particularly useful.
I was able to run the 4bit quantized LLAMA2 7B on a 2070 Super, though latency was so-so.

I was surprised by how fast it runs on an M2 MBP + llama.cpp; Way way faster than ChatGPT, and that's not even using the Apple neural engine.
and we can see that frustration in the drop in stock price...hmmm
Everything Apple just announced at its 2023 event
On the topic of the mini being removed, they also removed the plus and 13/14 Pro models.

I wonder if they had a lot of 13 Pro purchases after they discounted it last year, which they felt could have been 14 Pro purchases.

The most exciting thing for Mac gaming is probably the Game porting toolkit.

I’m pretty sure there’s a setting in ios as to the default file format for photos? And jpeg is an option?

Just checked - it’s under “camera - formats - most compatible”.
Maybe it matters to you, but I can't remember the last time I used cabled data transfer capabilities on any phone. As long as fast charging is supported (which, I'm sure it does), 99.9% of users won't care at all.

I am a bit surprised there isn't a Thunderbolt controller in the Pro, though. Seems like they already have the IP since it's part of the iPads already.

There were zero rumors about LLM from Apple being announced today. It wouldn't be the time and the place for such an announcement.

Such a feature would be included with iOS 18 and that's not going to be talked about until next June's WWDC 2024.
I keep my iPhones for many years before buying a new one and never had the lighting port die. What happens though is that the port gets dirt inside and stops working. There are tiny brushes (available on Amazon) which solve it and the port starts working again.

Nevertheless still good that now only one cable is required - especially since the iPad and iMac use USB-C as-well.

Not sure what to do with the AirPods - hopefully the wireless charging directly from iPhone 15 will make it unnecessary to have to carry the cable for the pods.
Iphones use such a small amount of energy that doubling the energy consumption is fairly negligible in the grand scheme of things.
Did you even think about this comparison before you typed it?

Musk's pre-Twitter and unexagerated legacy is luxury cars and some vague stuff about space.

MLK Jr is a human rights icon who was assassinated.

Musk is still eligible for his legacy holding a science victory. For example if he can get something more substantial to happen on the moon/mars or kick start asteroid mining.

Right now his legacy is proving billionaires aren't geniuses and that meritocracy is a lie.
You aren’t missing anything. The restriction to community fences ensures that each community will have to host the community. There’s no free lunch. Now, someone in that community can be more generous with compute than others. Using Tor to try to be anonymous isn’t going to work either as Tor has been broken.
It might work without plugging in the iPhone, but I imagine most times it would be plugged, overnight or whatever.

This is honestly a pretty great feature, and actually makes me more likely to buy an Apple Watch. I don't want to have to bring another charge cable with me, and now I wouldn't have to. I wonder what the charge speed is though — I wouldn't want to have to charge it overnight.

EDIT: Thanks for clarifying, it took me a while to understand based on what they had said and what Ars reported. I can see that it's just the same as how you can plug any peripheral into an iPad and charge off its battery. Now you can do the same with iPhone...big deal.
When they talked about Siri on-device on Apple Watch 9 they briefly said Siri had a ‘new transformer model’ and talked about improved dictation accuracy.

Honestly was half expecting more along those lines as part of the new chip announcement for the iPhone 15 Pro, but apparently not.
That might have been a tab of acid or some special mushrooms added to the rice.
Sometimes directions that don't make sense from a technical or market point of view are made with something much further in the future in mind. This could be the case here.

I'm pretty sure they didn't mean the 50GB tier. That amount is also basically useless. The 200GB tier might work, and that's an extra hundred bucks over the life of a phone. If you want to backup a phone and offload a reasonable chunk of photos, you're at the $10 tier and that's a lot of money over multiple years of ownership.
Same. Siri is slightly better on ios17 but still isn’t as good as it could be if it used an LLM
My car only has wireless Carplay, yet it supports wireless and wired Android Auto. It sucks. The only thing worse would not be having Carplay at all.
> I don't think Apple will ever do that, to be honest.

Apple sells lightning->HDMI adapters that could drive a display at 1080p and it’s been possible to pair a keyboard with your iPhone. I know folks that used that setup for writing longer texts while traveling.

Given that a lot of the infrastructure was already there, I wouldn’t be surprised if it trickles in over time.

You can see the same trajectory with iPads: At first they could mirror screens only, but with the recent changes to stage manager, they’re a pretty full-featured laptop if you use a keyboard and trackpad. My 11” pro is capable of driving a huge widescreen.
The iPhone is literally the last hold out for USB C. I'm pretty sure every modern Android phone supports USB PD and I think the EU is requiring PD charging as well, but nothing on connectivity speeds.

Beautifully said... one generation must do the less exciting things to pave the way for the next generation.
when almost everyone has already had the disease and was able to observe what it did to them -- which is the state we're at -- it's pretty hard to say that everyone needs to protect themselves.

I know what COVID will do to me, because I had it already. He's not right. I was vaccinated, and the vaccine didn't work (it didn't prevent me from getting ill, get out of here with the 'better outcomes' bullshit, I'm healthy and COVID was still a flu-like illness for me, and I'm convinced the vaccine I was promised was 'safe and effective' did little or nothing) and masks didn't matter.

It's like asking why we don't go around with masks on 24/7/365 to protect ourselves from the flu. Well, I've had the flu, and it's unpleasant, but it isn't worth the many downsides of proper N95 masking, and anything less than proper N95 masking is pointless.

Most of the people I see wearing masks in public now are wearing completely ineffective cloth masks and a large number of them STILL wear them under their noses. These people are not thinking critically or looking at data. They're still just trapped in the media fear cycle from 2020.
The 15 Pro Max has more and more different cameras than the 14 Pro does. I don't know whether it would actually work or not.
Sounds like the A16 just doesn't have the I/O block for USB 3. They are using the chip from the last generation for the base model.

Though to put this in a realistic context, I am curious what percentage of iPhones have ever, over their usage lifespan, made a data connection over USB. I suspect that percentage is low single-digit percentages, and -- again speculating -- I would wager they are almost always by users with the pro models.

Is it lame that it's USB 2.0? Yes. Will it matter at all for the overwhelming majority of users? Not in the slightest.
What is completely untrue? When the Rust team was let go in 2020, only a very minor part of Servo (Stylo) delivered and became part of FF according to [1]. Yet the Rust core team, already notorious for lone language decisions, engaged in what amounted to an epic risk of a publicity catastrophe for Mozilla. And even in their post mortem in [1], they care more about progressing Rust than about their employer or the (much more important) work they were paid for.

There was a paper posted here on HBO that claimed some correlation between cosmic waves and seismic activity. At face value correlation was very strong.

One feature was the asynchronicity - one of the variables had to be lagged, I can't remember which one.

Not sure what to make it but possibly related to lights in the sky.
You can use modern gamepads with it, like the PS5 DualSense.

I'm excited for the most silly pedestrian reason: Because I detest the Apple 'DRM' chip that is implicit in Lightning even when used just for charging. I call it "DRM'd Electricity."

Choices of cables we've had for the whole existence of the iPhone:

• Apple cables, $20-30, not even nice, cheap plastic with poor strain relief, work reliably until they succumb easily to damage

• Licensed (like Belkin), $20-30, nicer, work reliably

• 1,000 brands on Amazon, etc. Not licensed, 10% DOA rate, sometimes just stop working. Physically nearly always nicer than Apple. $3-12.

I'm really excited to be able to just have many of the same charging cables everywhere, and to buy them for $5 or less. Even buying cheap cables, I've never once had a USB-C (or even the terrible micro-B) cable fail to work.

Note: I actually feel just as strongly even though I only even use a cable in the car, and charge with "Magsafe" everywhere else. I just hate Lightning that much. Also, I could easily afford the Apple cables, but it would physically pain me to waste that much money knowing it's purely additional margin for Apple.
If Apple is going to support AV1, it starts with decoding. Apple isn't going to give their phone the ability to record videos in a format that the desktop OS and the desktop computers don't even support.

Once AV1 decoding is present across the product line, I imagine the phones might get support for AV1 encoding, probably two generations down the line, possibly next generation. Still a fairly large if though, given that Apple is decently invested in h265.
I thought we were getting a better zoom lens? I guess not?

I’d really get a lot of use out of 4 or 6x.

I also wish they’d stop editing the pictures so much. It’s decided I should have gray hair even though I don’t in real life. Really strange.

Oh and it destroys sunset photos. I get completely different colors than I see with my eyes for sunsets.
If a company requires SSO, they'll surely have a budget for paying for the products and services they use. The majority of OSS users won't have this requirement, and likely won't have the budget to pay for commercial features. So it doesn't make sense to give away a service that has a maintenance cost to everyone, as long as it's fairly priced.
Am I the only one who dislikes the rounded corners on the iPhone which appear even more pronounced on the 15.
It's hard to know for sure. The most common analysis, following the PEFCR standard, takes the carbon impact of cows and then divides it up in a certain ratio between flesh and leather products, then adds the tanning and production steps. Arguably it would be fairer to treat leather as purely a byproduct, which would dramatically reduce the resulting carbon footprint numbers for leather.
Another unnecessarily long event with essentially meaningless long sentences and long pauses to show off the new Iphone, exactly the same one as before, $100 more expensive.

I will buy it though. Gotta get rid of my Iphone 7. Time has come
Replace killing cows with micro plastic pollution, slap Apple price on it and call it an eco improvement.

In few years full reverse, cleaning up the planet while supporting free range happy lives of cows. Really, who actually buys this in-your-face bullshit? There are proper technical improvements to talk about.
Curious what's going on with the stance of presenters? If you look carefully they all stand in a certain way, with a space between their feet that appears to be constant.
That's been over for a while. They can't move back because there's nowhere to live.
Maybe Apple will embrace this then.

Maybe even making deals to compete with emulators + pirated ROMs.

Just fantasizing a bit here... thinking of Apple-approved N64, GameCube, GBA, PSP, even PS4 emulators with licensed games for a somewhat medium to high price tag - why not?
I haven't had a case since the 6, which was nice. I could imagine that as time went on and volume went up, they had to source lousier leather. The cynic in me also wonders if they didn't keep their leather products as nice so that people wouldn't miss it as much after it's replaced by FakeLeather, or whatever they're calling it.

Bought a Motorola G6 in 2018 for €199. It takes "fantastic" photos, and came in a "stunning new" (!?) color of black(ish). It's pretty much indestructible, runs Firefox with uBlock Origin, and it's "better for the environment" because every year you don't buy a new phone, the environment is happy.

It also has USB-C, and a 3.5 jack.
It does seem a case where Microsoft dogfooding GitHub may be actively making it worse. They've done several BUILD and GitHub Universe videos "How Microsoft Uses GitHub to Build [X]" and their PMs certainly need all those complex features to track stuff and those videos are the closest to training materials on how to use some of it, and it is definitely a lot going on.

It definitely seems one of those sorts of "every system PMs touch is doomed to become unmanageable complexity" laws and GitHub "Projects" does seem to be exponentially closer to being "Jira 2: Electric Boogaloo" every day.
What makes sense to fine-tune and what not?

You said 50-1000 examples.

Do I fine-tune when having specific q/a sets like from real customers and I want to add the right answer to the model?

Do I fine-tune facts or should I use some lookup?

Does adding some code and API docs for a current version of something I want more support make sense? Like chatgpt knows quarkus 2 but not quarkus 3
Quite a stretch and not exactly a standardization issue (more like if something useful is implemented/supported or not), but lack of DisplayPort MST in MacBooks had upset some folks.

More on point - the speculation about real fast charging requiring Apple-blessed circuitry is - AFAIK - still neither proven nor refuted.

How to survive ‘talent wars’: Remember it’s not all about the money
For use cases well within the capabilities of an LLM from last year, fine-tuned LLaMa 2 13B should/will blow ChatGPT out of the water: think "rate the sentiment of this text from 0-10".

I believe this because LLaMa-2 13B is more than good enough to handle what I call "quick search", i.e.

```
User: "What's the weather in Milwaukee?"

System: Here's some docs, answer concisely in one sentence.

AI: It's 73 degrees Farenheit.
```

YMMV on cost still, depends on cloud vendor, and my intuition agrees with yours: GPT-3.5 is priced low enough that there isn't a case where it makes sense to use another model. It strikes me now that's there's a good reason for that intuition: OpenAI's $/GPU hour is likely <= any other vendor's and inference time of LLaMa 2 ~= GPT.

I do think this will change with local LLMs. They've been way over-hyped for months, but after LLaMa 2, the challenges remaining are more sociological than technical.

For months now it's been one-off $LATEST_BUZZY_MODEL.c stunts that run on desktop.

The vast majority of the _actual_ usage and progress is coming from porn-y stuff, and the investment occurs in one-off stunts.

That split of effort, and lack of engineering rigor, is stunting progress overall.

Microsoft has LLaMa-2 ONNX available on GitHub[1]. There's budding but very small projects in different languages to wrap ONNX. Once there's a genuine cross-platform[2] ONNX wrapper that makes running LLaMa-2 easy, there will be a step change. It'll be "free"[3] to run your fine-tuned model that does as well as GPT-4.

It's not clear to me exactly when this will occur. It's "difficult" now, but only because the _actual usage_ in the local LLM community doesn't have a reason to invest in ONNX, and it's extremely intimidating to figure out how exactly to get LLaMa-2 running in ONNX. Microsoft kinda threw it up on GitHub and moved on, the sample code even still needs a PyTorch model. I see at least one very small company on HuggingFace that _may_ have figured out full ONNX.

Funnily enough, ONNX is getting a spike in mindshare over the last month in the _Stable Diffusion_ community. There's decent cross-pollination between local art and local LLMs, ex. LoRA's were first a thing for Stable Diffusion. So I'm hoping we see this sooner rather than later.

[1] https://github.com/microsoft/Llama-2-Onnx

[2] Definition of cross-platform matters a ton here, what I mean is "I can import $ONNX_WRAPPER_LIB on iOS / Android / Mac / Windows and call Llama2.reply(String prompt, ...)"

[3] Runs on somebody else's computer, where "somebody else" is the user, instead of a cloud vendor.
FYI, it's "ulterior motive" -- an "anterior motive" would be one that is right in front of you; almost the opposite of an ulterior one.
I don't and I don't think you do too.
Someone needs to make an LLM purpose-built for creating high-quality datasets for fine-tuning other LLMs.
I think this is roughly what we've known for a few years—probably just more precise. I've definitely heard that early stage is when you shed the most.
If it works great at 10c and OK at 0c and just a little bit at -10c but extracts no useful heat at -20c and your local weather has lots of time below 0c, then no amount of low temp floor heating will help.
I'm assuming the error of every clock has the same probability distribution. I think this is a reasonable assumption, because the phrase only mentions the number of clocks. In this case, the more clocks you average the lower your expected error.
Perhaps the improvements also benefit their AR/VR products? Could be a longer term play at hand.
I thought Llama was opensource/free and you could run it yourself?
