Literally trashing the things loved by your core market that was key to getting you where you are today isn't a smart move. No matter how you try to spin it otherwise.

Is it at stupid as Elon Musk mocking those comprising Tesla's core market? Probably not. Elon Musk continues on acting like a jerk to the people comprising Tesla's core market whereas Tim Cook issued an apology for Apple's blunder.
I enjoyed the ad for the same reason I and millions of others enjoy The Hydraulic Press Channel [1], its just fun to watch stuff get squished. I imagine that's "what they were thinking", for the cadre that keep asking "what were they thinking?"

I genuinely have trouble seeing how in good faith the ad could have been interpreted as anything other than "This is all the stuff that's being put into your iPad"

I absolutely see the need for this if implemented in concert with the host OS windowing system, because current popovers must be emulated in a way that does not always work well.

For example, a browser-native <select> today will be able to expand beyond the borders of the hosting browser window, so you can don't have to worry about it getting clipped to the window borders, but a fancy emulated select from toolkit like Quasar will not, ,which limits its placement options. So to do this right on win32 you would need each popover to have its own native HWND and on Cocoa/macOS you would need it in its own NSView.

Does anybody in here know if this is how it is actually implemented in the current browsers, or is it just a paint-over job inside the browser window?
I was flowing you until the analogy of crushing babies.
Precisely this. There's a thousand train derailments in the US annually; most incredibly minor. For a few weeks they all made the news.
The features that you described are somewhat close to what I'm trying to build with depshub.com. Dependency visibility is still a major problem in any engineering team that cares about dependencies, and it's often very hard to say if a project is moving in the right direction in terms of updates. Some teams just completely ignore the fact that they need to update dependencies, but this usually comes with the consequence of "updating ASAP because we need X feature or Y bugfix."

All the major tools (dependabot, renovate) to keep dependencies up to date treat all the dependencies equally when in reality there are always core libraries (e.g., react) and everything else. While trying to keep *everything* up to date is extremely challenging, what I'm trying to do is to find a balance between what and when needs to be updated (using code static analysis, different data sources, AI etc) and automate it in a simple manner.
How would you prefer it? I think the default styles (on chrome) are just enough, looks consistent with the rest of the default HTML styles.
yeah the media absolutely is. this is the copycat effect (maybe there is a better name for it?) but essentially this you can see in media all the time whenever there is a big story.

Could you expand on this? Above 20-30mph tire noise is the dominant noise from vehicles [1] and I haven't yet found a reference that shows significant reduction by choice of tires

Personally I think we need to put cars underground - without tunnels we'll be in traffic hell forever[2]. And imagine the quiet.

I’m an artist and I feel great. As a singer-songwriter I’ve already come to terms with Swedish mega-producers, drum machines, Live Nation, and whatever drives people to consume corporate music.

What exactly makes things any harder for artists than it has ever been? Was there some glorious moment in the past when people didn’t look down at the average poets for being lazy and useless?

Sure, laud the best of the best, but you know for a fact that you’ve thought it a bad decision for someone you know who isn’t gifted with genius level talent to pursue a career in the arts.

It has never been easy.

Frankly, if AI makes a pop song or if Lana Del Ray’s producers make a pop song, it really is no different to me. No one is going to replace the folk singer because the audience is already selecting for the poet, not the product. Who cares what frat bros are chugging beer to?

Is part of the response to this ad the subconscious realization that one doesn’t make or actively appreciate organic art to begin with?

When was the last time most of us went to an open mic? Or bought a painting from a local artist?
> 99% of noise is cars and motorbikes.

It depends on where you live. My apartment building is older, built before acoustic norms came into effect. I can hear my neighbor two floors up wake up in the middle of the night to take a pee.

I have 0 issues with traffic or other city noise, even though I like having my windows open and live in Paris, one of the densest cities in the world.
If only Apple allowed to run VMs and other software like Linux on their iPads, it would be a game-changer. Right now, the iPads are mostly limited to media production tools + everything else you could get in an Android tablet, so it's pretty pointless for a user like me
Maybe even more to the point, this particular plane was built during what even modern Boeing detractors consider the glory days of Boeing as an engineering company run by engineers. If this incident really was the fault of Boeing, which seems unlikely, it hardly fits the theory that Boeing was more recently ruined by MBAs.
1) The post-roam research note-taking apps (Obsidian, logseq) have shown the usefulness of creating notes with links, back-links and databases.

2) Document editor apps (Notion, Craft) have popularized the concept of documents as a set of text and non-text blocks. They're useful and provide rich building blocks for documents.

3) Some design engineers are exploring multi-modal text editors. Text, audio and video in the same document, integrated with CRDTs for collaboration.

One would think that digital text editing had already reached state of the art, but the work above shows that there's plenty to discover yet. I'd love to hear your take on what you think could be much better.

> Odd response. They were asking if it was CGI.

> To me it looks like a combo of CGI bits and real bits.

On second look, it's entirely possible that they were asking that... I had read so many really defensive comments on other sites from Apple users about this ad, that when I saw this comment, it felt really snarky to me.

Your comment made me reevaluate it from a different perspective. It's like a night and day difference. So odd that I no longer see the snark. It seems like an honest question now.

Thanks for this.

To /u/pockybum522, sorry about that. Sometimes when the brain is exposed to a bunch of negativity, it begins to filter in a defensive way. I'm usually on guard for that. I failed this time.

Don't be facetious. It's nowhere near as bad as the Trainee program in Japan.

Unpaid wages, sexual harassment, unsafe working conditions, and physical violence are common occurrences in the Japanese (and Korean and Taiwanese) Trainee programs, which is used to operate a Gulf style migrant worker system.

And unlike the US, legal support for migrant workers is EXTREMELY hard to to come by, as almost all services are in Japanese and legal frameworks that can protect migrants like the Civil Rights Act don't exist.

My SO is Vietnamese and has extended family who have migrated to Japan and SK under the program and it is truly horrific, but it's better than starving in Gia Lai.
Yeah but 25% of a few hundred billion (planets in the milky way) is still a fair lot of opportunities.

> …Also products made by companies that are equally "soulless" (they make these things to make money just like Apple)

I have to strongly disagree. Pianos, guitars and other instruments have a long and rich history that connects the past to the present. A long arc of human progress and creativity, with some of the most sought after instruments today being rooted in a deep history of human craftsmanship.

Cameras also have a rich history, but don’t belong in the same sentence IMO.

While you can find soulless products to buy, those are only a subset of what’s on offer.

I enjoy using Apple products, and will probably even buy this iPad because I need to upgrade. But it sits in an entirely different category than my cameras and musical instruments.
Elon Musk's Neuralink Reveals Its Brain Chip Has Run into Some Problems
I agree with your point about outrage culture these days. But your language indicates you think it’s a political issue for the left (“woke,” “snowflake”). The fact is that both ends of the political spectrum get way too outraged over things these days (they crushed art! He didn’t wear a flag pin!).

It’s not a political issue, it’s a problem with our culture right now, probably driven in part by social media algorithms and systems (upvotes) that reward outrage.
I'm quite cynical about this one. I think that they knew that this ad would produce a reaction and would generate a ton of free press. How many people only saw this ad or knew there was a new ipad generation because of this coverage? I was one of those people.

This feels like bait for online arguments. An aggravating theme that is obvious to many but also just enough deniability to have people complain about the people who react negatively to the ad. Boom. Free press.
Open up your local Craigslist and you will probably find a bunch of them.
Something that got lost due to the editorialized headlines
Without those pesky new features and breaking changes that come with using bleeding-edge releases.

This is usually a popular counterargument when people are talking about keeping everything up to date. What people should consider though is to try to keep everything *relatively* up to date, without always being on the latest version but still not very far away from the latest release.

GitHub, Stack Overflow, etc., are full of data about potential issues when updating to library X to version Y, and usually, you're able to find this when it's too late - either you've got an error in production or you're in the middle of an update and you discover that there are some issues with the version that you want to use.

Exploring these data points is still a pretty much untapped area, and this is something that I'm trying to explore with my product that updates dependencies automatically in a more "smarter" and autonomous way at depshub.com.

I would be happy to see more people working in this area since it's clear that there is a problem that needs to be solved and unfortunately the current status quo is "while everyone needs to manage dependencies, there's no one right way to do it, so everyone does it their own way."
I think there's a weird false equivalency being often mentioned with this topic. Yes, I'd say this ad was stress inducing for me. But that doesn't mean I have issues getting through the day. It's not some kind of weakness that makes my life worse because I feel things. I can see something and be stressed or disgusted about it and then move on and feel happy about things that are nice. Feeling things doesn't need to force you to do anything. It's fine to just experience them, and maybe act on them if needed. But the idea that those feelings somehow have to take over your life is misguided.

Not sure how this would be different from Bing Copilot. I use copilot a bit and it's great for some general queries about current events or things that are written in many articles. For instance, how many children does Drake have or what's up with Eurovision (referenced in dozens of spammy articles).

But I noticed it overly relies on search. If I ask a technical question, it relies on those same crappy search results, compared to gpt which answers correctly without referencing anything external.

I don't know if you can bridge that divide but I'm curious what openai comes up with and how its different from bing copilot
We could run a OS on current GPUs I think, hardware-wise. And we know from history that compilers can make up for various hardware shortcomings on OS support side. Eg multi-task scheduling and concurrency can be done at the compiler level.

education

is there anything that improves people's lives in the long-term as much as fixing education? there are plenty of niche sectors to excel on, feels like taking a candy from a baby

angels/VCs tell me it's too big of a market, thus competitive, thus you'll get eaten. I disagree with the last part -- we all say execution is key, but few of us realize what that means: the whole collection of decisions a company makes defines its 'execution', so each company is unique, even if they're redoing something that already exists. you can specialize so much no one will care competing with you early

as long as the inefficiencies in edu everywhere scream for help and the access to edu/work opportunity is not evenly distributed world-wide, there's huge room for innovation, and I'd add it's even a mandatory mission for us crazy visionaries to fix that

Kinda funny that browsers have built-in pop-up blockers, but then create APIs like this. Yes I know the difference, but still.

I’m old enough to remember the pop-up and pop-under wars of the late 90s and early 2000s.

I guess we won that particular battle, but the war for our attention is far from over.
I'm not even sure that this is true. How many people have actually interacted with somebody who is overreacting here?

Instead, the overreactions are aggregated via social media and news coverage so we can see "wow look at all these people using extreme language here."
Same. Replace condoms with abortion clinic and the analogy might a little more accurate - but only because I suspect some will see it as story about murdering souls and some will see it as beneficial and necessary. But even then it's still quite a stretch.

There's a real element of media literacy (or lack thereof) that we have to consider in this issue.

What was the intent of the media?

This is obviously open to interpretation, but to me I see the intent being that all these tools for creative expression are being combined/squashed/pressed into this thing which is very thin. That's why they chose the press. They also chose the press because it looks visually interesting, they are trying to make a fun ad.

I really can't imagine that anyone in that ad was trying to imply that the iPad destroys those objects, or that those objects should be destroyed, or are now valueless. They are saying that this device contains the functionality of all these big items squashed into one crazy tiny thing. Amazement at what it can do, NOT a desire to destroy or make obsolete real pianos.

From that viewpoint, it's clear they VERY clumsily applied a metaphor (combining + crushing into the iPad) with a visually fun thing (the explosions), resulting in people thinking they want to destroy pianos.

But importantly (if one takes the above as true, which you may not), you can't then say that the ad is trying to "tell that those tools are valueless, obsolete, objects of ridicule", that's not the intent of the author.
These popovers are just regular DOM nodes styled with regular CSS.

Giving websites a vector to paint outside the designated viewport (except in extremely limited circumstances like alert(), confirm(), [title], <select>, etc.) makes it a lot easier for them to convincingly emulate browser and OS dialogs. It's a massive security risk, I don't think it's worth the limited upside. Concrete example: a page emulating your password manager extension's unlock widget.

Edit: Note that this is not a theoretical concern. Scammers over the years have created extremely convincing fake UI elements, including fake popup windows complete with the browser chrome. They're even draggable. Not being to paint past the viewport boundary is one of very few, if not the only limitation they couldn't get around.
If you have incompetent people in your IT / SWE department, they're not going to make good hiring choices.

Similarly, corporate culture is very little about stuff and more about processes. If hardware or software environment problems exist, will they ever be fixed? At a lot of companies, no.

And "pay them what they're worth" is a relative metric. Non-tech companies aren't going to be able to afford to pay a cost center what tech product companies can pay a profit center.
It's so clear that people on this site have no friends, family, or hobbies. I also don't think you realize how ableist your comment is.

Some people have more trouble completing tasks for reasons that have nothing to do with talent or intelligence.
For me, it was more about the humanity represented by the objects than what company they came from. All of those objects are far more human-centered than the iPad. All of those objects were crafted and perfected over centuries - guitar forms, paint formulas, camera technology, etc. In a way it's representative of the much of human culture, and this add kinda says, yea, screw all that old crappy stuff. Look at our neat piece of glass that replaces all that humanity.

I get it, that's exactly their point. The iPad can do all of those things. But at a time when many creatives feel like AI is going to replace them or make their skills irrelevant, it's pretty tone deaf.

And also, it's far more likely that most of those objects were made by skilled craftsmen, even if they did work at a bigger company.

Well I don’t. Kagi is much better. Thank you, Kagi.

I shouldn’t be emotional about this, but I find I am getting very angry with these large companies with business models that use their users.

There doesn’t seem to be any way for them to avoid getting worse, given their market caps and multiples have years of continued innovation in user surveillance and manipulation priced in.

(And in general, I am not against success.)

I hope the AI industry keeps a healthy paid tier going. Because mass free, ad-driven AI is not going to be pretty.
I find it hard to believe Apple did not foresee this interpretation. But then even harder to believe they released it regardless.

Ah, the classic "You criticize technology and yet you have a smartphone, checkmate".

There are genuine uses for this technology, but symbolically showing that pianos, violins, paints, etc are out of date by crushing them, replacing them with an iPad removes any of the "humanity" from it.

If I swipe a violin string on an iPad, it's going to sound the exact same no matter what. But if I play a real violin I have control over the vibrato (I guess, I'm not a violinist), I can start a note slowly and then quickly cut it off for effect, or slowly fade out a note by relieving pressure on the strings. The real thing allows for artists to put their heart and their soul into the music. An iPad can only immitate the note in it's most pristine, mathematic, sterile form.
The API it introduces also allows the control of popover elements’ visible state in the DOM without any javascript.

That is definitely useful.
