I hope this means that CarPlay gets some more focus, because I would like a CarPlay integration where everything I have configured in a car is stored in a profile on my phone. This is what I imagine: When I get into a car, I just have to connect my phone, and the seat automatically adjusts, the radio has my favorite stations configured, and the UI is set up as I prefer it. When I find myself in a car model that I haven't driven before, the phone is able to make a good guess of how to configure things based on my setup in other cars.
Ohhh then I'm out of date.
I think you’re right that people have been banned from things as long as the internet has been around. However more tools exist today to censor, things like AI generating and reading subtitles for YT demonetization and algorithm deranking.

If someone makes a threat on a person or groups life online, or doing something illegal, then I agree it shouldn’t be allowed. But censorship today goes far beyond that.

The purpose of the platform matters. MSN chats (group chats?) and sub-reddits are smaller places presumably set up by another user for a specific purpose. I have no problem with people being banned/censored for whatever reason from these smaller forums.

I have an issue with censorship when the platform is generic, not dedicated to a particular topic or group, like Twitter, YouTube, or Reddit as a whole. When one or more dominant third party platforms censor the same people, it has an effect similar to that of government censorship.

I also think the censorship will backfire, because by being shut down, it gives power to the ideas being censored. “There must be a reason they are shutting down discussion. They have no real answer to it!”

I agree that online harassment is ugly, but I still believe in absolute free speech on these generic platforms. The best solution to all of this would be to have block lists that people could opt-in or out of. Don’t want to see something? Subscribe to the block list.
No, it wouldn't ease my concerns at all. If anything, it would make the whole thing even more irritating, because then I'd have to have access to, and use, the internet (bringing all of the issues the internet has with it) when doing things that should in no way have to involve the internet.

Added: I think what would make the idea more OK with me is if the prices are fixed, but there are dynamic discounts applied to them. Then people like me will know how much things cost, and sometimes be surprised by a discount. It would change the whole vibe from "I'm being taken for a ride" to "I got a gift".

I thought this was interesting, Erik is a great thinker and writer, but I felt as though the bad stuff he doesn't like here, specifically the weird videos for kids, might equally be blamed on photoshop, YouTube, or any other technology in the chain. Alternatively, it can be blamed on specific people and their specific actions.

Like, blame the person that makes the weird videos, not the technology that can both make weird/alien scripts for kids videos and also write my React components and describe what's outside my doorbell camera. It's some serious baby with the bathwater action.

General-purpose technologies are general-purpose.

The behavior he's upset about is currently human behavior. I don't know of anyone who has wired up GPT and asked it to make money and it has decided to start making YouTube videos.
My IP's geolocation according to google gets switched to Hong Kong about once per year. This means google search turns chinese(?). It is not very fun.

I do a lot of open source LLM research/dev work on a Mac Studio. While it doesn't quite compete in terms of speed with a GPU for standard transformers models, I can run pretty huge models locally. When I'm working with llama.ccp, the speed and model size I can run is very impressive.

I can also run Stable Diffusion XL in reasonable time frames on an iPad Pro. The current gen Macbook Pro can perform almost as well as the Mac Studio with an M2 Ultra, only the M3 Max has about 1/2 the bus speed (though still wild that you can run good sized local LLMs on a laptop).

If local generative AI becomes a major part of computing in the future, Apple has a huge advantage over the other players out there. This was obvious the second I started working on my Mac Studio. I have spent plenty of time using a traditional GPU setup for LLM work, and yes it is faster, but the complexity of getting things running is way beyond the average user's ability. Not having to fight with cuda ever is amazing, and so far everything else has 'just worked' as is typical of Apple.

If Apple has a team of talented people working to get gen AI performance tuned specifically to their hardward, I suspect we'll see some very competitive offerings in this space.

> If I give someone the choice between the plane and the train, same ticket price, same travel time, people will pick the train most of the time.

But it is complex: first, it works in such a way that the plane tends to be cheaper. Should you tax the flights? But then you basically say that rich people can take the plane. Banning is more fair in that sense.

Then, the perception is different: people tend to trust the plane more (even though planes have delays, too) and underestimate the commute time for the plane (I often hear people compare the time between two train stations against the time between two airports, completely forgetting all the time to the airport and back, checking in, fetching the bags, etc.

And finally, what we need to do goes way further than just making it more convenient to take the train for some journeys. The whole aviation sector is going to have a huge problem because it can't reasonably replace fossil fuels (no, there is not enough electricity and hydrogen for planes in a post-oil world), and therefore we need to heavily prepare for that. It means that we will have to go towards a society where we almost don't fly and mostly take the train, and that will be less convenient. We just don't have a choice, and we have to prepare for it.

Apple's core argument seems to be that building out secure PWA support for 3rd party browser engines is quite onerous. Does that seem credible? Anyone have more insight that can speak to this?

A short term compromise would just be to keep existing PWA support where it's Safari/WebKit only. That seems strictly better.

It works as well for the LLM as it does for the humans in this thread.

What's worse is, I'd been writing some SciFi set in 2030 since well before Transformer models were invented, and predicted in early drafts of my fiction that you'd get better results from AI if you treated them with the same courtesies that you'd use for a human just because they learn by mimicking us (which turned out to be true), and yet I'm still making this mistake IRL when I talk to the AI…

> So, the people that failed to build a car, when Tesla, Xiaomi, BYD and half a dozen tech startups succeeded, will now fail to build generative AI.

I don’t work at Apple (so I don’t know for certain), but I don’t think the point of the Apple Car was ever to just copy the industry and produce an EV; it was to reach the holy grail of a fully autonomous vehicle, which no manufacturer has been able to successfully build.

Lucky for Apple, generative AI doesn’t need to work for 100% of the cases to be successful, unlike autonomous vehicles, so maybe Apple has a better chance to be successful this time.
If AI replaces most humans at most tasks how are the humans going to pay for the products?
SMOB (simply matter of bytes) as they say. Will they finally invest in AI software? My take from this announcement is that they will. Dedicated silicon with a dedicated hardware stack shouldn't be so hard for Apple. They can throw considerable resource at the problem.
It's interesting to see how things have change. Granted, my sample size is 1 for negotiating with Meta a few years ago. In that, I had competing offers, but let the recruiter know up front that I wouldn't share exact details other than company and level. The initial offer from Meta was greater than my asking, and after asking for more to get closer to parity with other offers, they went above that number as well.

Of course, that market looked nothing like this one.

Just want to reply here with some actual critique, so that my comment doesn't just seem like an empty snipe.

WSL is at is heart a VM, and as good of a job as Microsoft has done at bolting it on coherently and applying all the caulk they could, it still feels like.

Sometimes it just randomly partially stops working, where I have a command prompt, but cannot access the filesystem from applications. Whether or not `wsl --shutdown` will fix it is also random.

The filesystem is not accessible to Search Everything, so any files I create in WSL I have to access through a special method, either through \\wsl$\ in Explorer (which itself is awkward) or using Total Commander (I prefer it, but it doesn't have OS integration, so if I need to put a file into a file selector dialog, it's an additional step of Copy Path and paste.)

There are still issues I run into through inconsistencies between Windows path with backslashes (which in GNU-land must be escaped as \\) and Unixy paths using slashes.

The system time gets desynced more often than not, so I actually have to have `sudo hwclock -s` in my .bashrc, which itself randomly works vs. doesn't work, and when it doesn't work, nothing short of a full system reboot seems to fix it.

Sometimes http://localhost:2784/ randomly stops working in Windows applications while still working in e.g. Firefox that runs in WSL.

This is just a few random things off the top of my head, but there are many, many more issues I run into day-to-day. And all I'm doing is a simple web server, Git repo, and IntelliJ. I don't even run a database server, because I use SQLite for that.

It works, but it's hardly awesome.

You may ask why I don't just install GNU/Linux on this laptop. Initially, that was the plan, but I realized that so many people out there use Windows, I need to bear through this myself for a while so that I am on the same page, and so that my software can run on Windows and WSL. But coming from Mac, it certainly feels like a bit of the ol' Harrison Bergeron sashweights.

(My recycling salvage 8-year-old Mac was somehow fast enough that I could do all my work in a GNU/Linux VM and have a clean separation between my desktop and my workstation.)

The Saturn one (Geiz ist geil!) was unavoidable in the 2000s. The Edeka one (Supergeil) was a viral social media hit in the mid-2010s. I can understand missing out on the second one if you weren't paying attention to German social media but if you were old enough in the 2000s to know what an ad is I have no idea how you managed to avoid that. And even then you'd have at least heard of the phrase because the ads put it back into popular discourse with right-wing politicians chastising consumers for their "Geiz ist geil" mentality.

The Sparkasse ads were also from the mid-2010s. They were basically very beige board meetings of the "08/15 Bank" (08/15 meaning "standard issue" or "run of the mill" in German though the exact origin is disputed - likely somehow relating to the MG 08/15 machine gun of WW1). You couldn't really sit through an ad break without seeing one.

What an inane strawman argument. Houses are obviously not worthless because there's finite land to build on and building houses takes a non trivial amount of labor and capital. The problem the user you responded to is pointing out is that a lot of people assume productivity was the problem with so-called creative fields and these tools are going to somehow fix that problem. What's actually going to happen is a ton of people are going to produce a ton of trite AI content that is essentially identical because everyone is using the same models, thus inflating the supply. In addition, nobody actually gives a shit about AI generated garbage, so demand isn't suddenly going to rise. In many ways, the attention economy is already saturated, and the way you succeed there is not through productivity but by differentiating yourself in ways that make your content more desirable.

Put simply, have you heard of or do you follow any AI based creators? I can name 10 or 20 artists, content creators, movie directors, or writers that I respect pretty much instantly. Can't really do the same thing for people using AI.

Actually, it is quite true. Gravity is exercising on the airplane a force F equal to the weight of the plane, towards the ground. For the airplane to stay at the same height, air needs to exercise a force that is equal and opposite to that of gravity. For an airplane buoyancy is negligible, so the force comes from accelerating enough air towards the ground so that F = M*A when M is the mass of air being accelerated, and A the (average) acceleration.

Notice that this isn't a separate effect from the effect of pressure - it's just a different way of seeing the same effect. The wing is accelerating the air both upwards and downwards, but because the pressure is higher below the wing than it is above it, more air is accelerated down than it is accelerated up - which lifts the airplane, but makes the air go down.
We’re talking in the context of cities so I was only referring to more dense scenarios. I agree that rural or really low-density suburban communities are different.

The key point is really just the function of distance: people who live near a small shop will go there due to convenience. If it’s far enough to need a car, they’ll probably keep going to a bigger shop with lower prices because the cost of having and using the car is already incurred and the cost of doing anything else is greater.
