But we got an email from a (unrelated) user saying it's good, so I've put it in the SCP (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308).

ROV = remotely operated vehicle btw
Who is going to be schlepping around external drives?
Yeah, I've seen a lot of people write absurd dataframe monstrocities that ended up being slower than the naive Python loop-over-a-list solution never mind 10X the code. But I've also seen plenty of non-data-science examples.
It sounded like 3 is meant for non-personal stuff. Basically like a search engine style feature. When you want to look up things like say sports records and info, or a movie and info about it, etc.
Am I only person who's reached their threshold on companies forcing and shoving AI into every layer and corner of our lives?

I don't even look at this stuff any more and see the upside to any of it. AI went from, "This is kinda cool and quaint." to "You NEED this in every single aspect of your life, whether you want it or not." AI has become so pervasive and intrusive, I stopped seeing the benefits of any of this.
Exactly, nuance is important. Short term protections are good, but companies shouldn’t be able to keep works from entering public domain for decades on end.
>Private Cloud Compute

But it runs in their cloud.
They prompt you before they send your data to OpenAI, but it's clear that they prompt you before they send it to Apple's servers (maybe they do and I missed it?). And their promise that their servers are secure because it's all written in Swift is laughable.

Edit:

This line from the keynote is also suspect:
"And just like your iPhone , independent experts can inspect the code that runs on the servers to verify this privacy promise.".

First off, do "independent experts" actually have access to closed source iOS code? If so we already have evidence that this is sufficient (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/05/15/ios-17-5-bug-deleted-ph...).

The actual standard for privacy and security is open source software, anything short of that is just marketing buzz. Every company has an incentive to not leak data, but data leaks still happen.

I would expect it to be situational. I also was happy to see that they introduced a typed interface to Siri so you can do this without speaking.
The problem with fediverse is that it is not user friendly or not user friendly enough for casual users to join. Facebook, WhatsApp and other popular social apps thrived because you only needed your email or phone number to sign up and then you would have minimalistic UI and UX which people could learn in like 5 minutes and eventually they would stick with it.
You are deeply disturbed by the idea that some services can be better implemented server-side? Who do you think pressured them, the illuminati?

We know the solution to the AI box experiment[1]. Set the AI free and make money.

Are they actually still working on Delicious in Dungeon? The last episode in season 1 comes out this week, and I've been looking for confirmation that another season is coming but to no avail so far.
Certainly there's a difference. You are right that the jump is big between 1 and 2, but it is negligent to say that Apple, a company which strives for improved privacy and security, and ChatGPT have the same privacy practices.
Your examples are illustrative of the point. These are the equivalent of "in mice" articles in medicine. Showing DAC in a lab is the easy part.

Just to offset current emissions, we need to pull 40 billion tons of CO2 out of the air each year. This must work within the constraints of supply chains, upstream chemical feedstock, and available planetary mineral reserves. People are not comprehending the scale: this would be the largest industrial chemistry process in history by orders of magnitude, larger than all other industrial chemistry combined.

Scaling either of the above DAC processes to 40 billion tons per year is infeasible. You don't just have to scale the process, you also have to scale the upstream processes and resource extraction activities that enable the process to be built. At 40 billion tons, any chemical engineer can quickly pencil out that these processes have upstream dependencies that have no ability to be scaled sufficient to support the target production process, not even close. In computer terms, it is like trying to train the latest LLMs on a computer from the 1990s.

I see a lot of DAC proposals that, at scale, imply a supply chain that instantly consumes the global reserves of critical agricultural minerals like potassium or phosphorus, or which would literally produce e.g. concentrated acid waste at the scale of billions of tons, with no plan for how to keep people from starving or disposing of the chemical waste. Consequently, these processes are not real solutions.
You probably shouldn't.

I remember taking the quick for this.
Passing and then I scheduled the interview.

The first question was to code an app just like excel.
I totally blanked. It was my first experience ever coding live with an interviewer watching me. When I say I blanked I mean I could not even remember how to code a class.

Was a unique experience and I definitely learned a lot from it. The interviewer was great and very understanding. Made me appreciate how hard a tech interview could be. Interviewer was a good dude though, hope he is doing well.
"interesting" is the right adjective. openai's reliability is worse than the typical 2-person startup, but the quality of their ml is just that good.
I wasn't totally sold on it for the first ~4 episodes or so. I especially didn't like Marcille's role in it.

However, from around episode 5 onward, it started getting REALLY good.

I think the thing I appreciate the most of DiD is that it really feels grounded in its setting. Every character and detail feels like it connects and is a part of a cohesive setting. There's a lot of anime that isn't like that.

It also has a good sense of tone. It knows when to take things seriously and when to cut loose and joke and balances those two fairly well.

It's willing to have some slower and calmer sections which I like. (Though IMO I'd like even more)

It's unfortunate to say this, but it's basically one of the only good anime I've seen in maybe a decade. Most of the stuff out there is so terrible...
FYI - you can't be sure which side of the A/B test you are on.
Or in other words, general late-stage capitalism "anything but exponential growth every quarter is failure" brainworms.
The OpenAI/ChatGPT part of this looks pretty useless. Similar to what some shortcuts like “hey data” already do. I was shocked, and relieved that Apple isn't relying on their APIs more. Seems like a big L for OpenAI.
Bash Script for Exporting Apple Playlists to Bandcamp-Prioritized HTML
It’s a fun little bash script. You feed it an Apple playlist, and it exports artists and albums, creating an HTML webpage with Google search links prioritized to Bandcamp. This way, by clicking on the links in the resulting HTML, you can go directly to the artists’ Bandcamp sites and buy the albums from your playlists, thus removing yourself from the cloud further. You have to export the Apple playlist and use it as a command line parameter with this script. I did it because the Apple Music buying experience sucks.
> > Okay, what are your salary expectations? [...] This is just so we know what jobs you might be interested in - the only thing we'll communicate is whether you match a client's salary range or not and vice-versa.

> [...] I'm trying to get an amazing developer with a mediocre resume an amazing job, or a good eveloper with a mediocre resume a good job - one better than they could have gotten on their own.

Is the reason that you can get employers and workers to commit to salary ranges like this, that you're focusing on mediocre resumes?

That is: Workers with mediocre resumes can't afford to be too greedy and play their cards too close, and companies aren't too hesitant to filter out someone with a mediocre resume?

(BTW, the below sounds like it could be a good/great thing. I'm not criticizing it, just curious whether that's also why requiring salary ranges upfront would work here, when normally both parties would be resistant.)

> I'm trying to get an amazing developer with a mediocre resume an amazing job, or a good eveloper with a mediocre resume a good job - one better than they could have gotten on their own.
I don't think that is the intent of the article at all. I think the article is making a comment on building a single framework that can enable anyone to solve an arbitrary robotics problem. From the second paragraph, "The idea goes something like this: Programming robots is hard. And there are some people with really arcane skills and PhDs who are really expensive and seem to be required for some reason. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could do robotics without them?"

There are host of companies, both extant and deceased, who attempted to do just that.

I don't think any ROS developer has ever made the claim that ROS makes building a robot "easy", "easier" yes, but "easy", certainly not. ROS is simply a collection of tools that people have built over the years to get their work done faster by not re-inventing the wheel. Many ROS packages have decades of real-world deployment behind them. Some ROS packages, like Nav2 and MoveIt, are incredibly helpful, other packages are difficult to use and poorly documented, just like in any open source ecosystem.

> Which in their quest to make robotics simple; made json a programming language

JSON, in ROS? I don't think that's how it works.

> massive ecosystem of abstracted complexity that breaks in undebuggable ways

If you have a solution for this I think you solved the problem of software engineering in general.
The UI design part? The integration part? The iteration part?

Apple products tend to feel thoughtful. It might not be a thought you agree with, but it's there.

With other companies I feel like im starving, and all they are serving is their version of grule... Here is your helping be sure to eat all of it.
Siri and other assistants already do this no?
It’s important, otherwise that means any locally-running binary (maven, npm) can steal all of your passwords, since they are in clear on your computer.
Looks nice. Congrats. Would like to address 2 points, privacy and terms page look blank for me; and the main demo video I would expect on how to use your product, and not the final result.

keep it up ;)
I've read about it and came upon the same answer as you just gave, but I'm not satisfied with it.

Looking around the world, it seems to me that most developed countries (if not all) suffer from the same problem of lack of doctors. Some mask it by pulling doctors from poorer countries (including poorer developed countries), but it seems like there's a lack of doctors everywhere. If that's the case then Congress can't really be the only limiting factor.

Why are there no developed countries that have far too many doctors? The only countries that I can think of that export doctors are Cuba and third world countries.
Of course. There will be plenty of APIs that 3rd parties can use access the same data Apple Intelligence has access to.
To be useful Apple has to share the data with OpenAI
Walking, cycling, running, driving, relaxing on the couch
I’m assuming many will consider buying an iPhone 15 pro or the next one. I’m really not a trader, but thought this + the stronger ecosystem lock-in effect would bump the share significantly.
Well, good luck to Apple then. Hopefully this attempt at killing Nvidia goes better than the first time they tried, or when they tried and gave-up on making OpenCL.

I just don't understand how they can compete on their own merits without purpose-built silicon; the M2 Ultra doesn't shine a candle to a single GB200. Once you consider how Nvidia's offerings are networked with Mellanox and CUDA universal memory, it feels like the only advantage Apple has in the space is setting their own prices. If they want to be competitive, I don't think they're going to be training Apple models on Apple Silicon.
> AKA there would be a way to choose backends.

I think the percentage of iPhone users for who this would matter is very small. It's similar to how many people care about using a different browser than Safari on iOS (or Chrome on Google): in the US at least, those two browsers have ~95% market share.
Ent-to-end encrypted means that the other end (Apple/NSA) has access to it.
I am not going to disagree. Just pointing out the logic such as it is.
I take it as 3rd party alternatives will have a much harder time because they have to ask the user to share their data with them. Apple / Google already have that established relationship and 3rd parties will unlikely have the level of integration and simplicity that the platformers can deliver.
Mogan STEM Suite: Libre STEM suite for exploring science and technology
Ok yeah fair enough! I went and looked at the hospitalizations and excess deaths data, and I was definitely thinking of late 2022 rather than late 2021, so still half a year or so earlier than the end of the WHO's "public health emergency", but over a year later than what I said in my comment!
My wife doesn't use youtube to any significant degree either, so the cost calculation doesn't notably change with the family plan. Obviously if your usage is significantly different the cost calculation is different, which was my point from the start.
They're promising to go farther than that.

>> Independent experts can inspect the code that runs on Apple silicon servers to verify privacy, and Private Cloud Compute cryptographically ensures that iPhone, iPad, and Mac do not talk to a server unless its software has been publicly logged for inspection. Apple Intelligence with Private Cloud Compute sets a new standard for privacy in AI, unlocking intelligence users can trust.
I just need Apple to be clearly indicating which settings will completely disable this.
Complex and heavy UI - that's why basically.
I’ve been wishing for iPhone notifications on my Mac for the longest time!
It was cool how you can just ask Siri to connect you to another LLM.

When you own your own business you can easily make 6 figures, it just takes years of sweat equity and rough times. A friend of mine has grown his business from 100k/y in sales (and 5-10k profit) to millions per year (~300k profit) installing TVs and stereos in 13 years. He worked his ass off for a long time.
Last I tried it, iCloud for Windows didn't integrate with Firefox, though.
Circa 2013 Snowden says the intelligence agencies are wiretapping everything and monitoring everyone.

In 2024 they don't have to wiretap anything. It's all being sent directly to the cloud. Their job has been done for them.
i would strongly take the other side of that bet
It stops being their device once they sell it to you.
Yes, this is an extension of that feature and a further integration with other enhancements. Apple has been doing “machine learning” for years for features like this. Now they are starting to bring those features together using other models like LLMs.

IMO this really feels like the Facebook / Twitter integration from early iOS. That only lasted a few years.

Apple clearly thinks it needs a dedicated LLM service atm. But still thinks it is only supplemental as they handle a bunch of the core stuff without it. And require explicit user consent to use OpenAI. And Apple clearly views it as a partial commodity since they even said they plan to add others.

Tough to bet against OpenAI right now...but this deal does not feel like a 10 year deal...

Oof. Google now charges me more than I’m comfortable paying and want us to upgrade to the next tier due to data usage.

I’m happy to move off to another email provider, but my wife is upset that she’ll lose access to all the docs that have ever been shared with her on that Google Apps account. This is truly hell.

Apparently, after we migrate off we can recreate a free, non-email Google apps account “me@mydomain.com”, but it’ll be empty.

One thing that I found thoughtful was that images could only be generated as cartoons, sketches or animations. There was no option for a more photorealistic style.

That seems like an effective guardrail if you don't want people trying to pass off AI generated images as real.

YouTube is borderline unusable now. For the last 6 months when I browse to YT - on any device - I get a blank page (no suggested content) with a decoy search box in the center of the page. When I click it, focus moves from the decoy to a second, real search box which unfurls at the top, but the cursor does not move and requires a subsequent click. This means on mobile I have to tap twice - in two different locations on the page - before I can start typing a search query.

Google needs to fire their entire UI/UX staff, this is "my first website" levels of usability. 2004-era websites were more functional.

Ahh the memories...I'll never forget their style of running out of funds mid series and then switching to the anime version of powerpoint style transitions to tell the remainder of the story! :D

And who can forget Mahoromantic with the quintessential other Anime quirk: The budget runs outs so the important people just die and the credits roll with sad music....the end. :D

I discovered in early high school after investing considerable time into a few series only to be burned by bad endings, that I should try something other than Anime. Its enjoyable but man I can't trust these guys. They suck you in and then leave you hanging too often.

At least Evangelion was good I guess. Guess thats what happens when you have more continual income coming in for a franchise?

IIRC the pilot wave theory from Bohmian is good for single particles, but it's difficult to generalize to multiple particles. In my opinion most physicist don't think it's a good idea.

The many-words interpretation of Everett is quite different. I'm still not sure if it's just claiming that the "hallucinated" Hilbert spaces in a measurement are actualy real copies of the "universe".

Disclaimer: I prefer the "shut up and calculate" interpretation, and I hope that "something-something-decoherence" will fix all the problems one day. Perhaps I like "many-words" without knowing.
Microsoft Office was released five years after the Macintosh; what are you talking about?
Serious question: why would I do that?

I mean, sure, at some point. But there's no regulation/oversight telling me I have to give you any back. In fact, my T&Cs probably say specifically I don't. If I give you 1%, that's 1% less that I have to play with. And it seems that in this market, if you don't like it, there's a line of folks behind you willing to write a check. Private capital is where you park your phuck-you money, so everyone involved seems reasonably ok with the status quo.
