It seems like this is an orchestration layer that runs on Apple Silicon, given that ChatGPT integration looks like an API call from that. It's not clear to me what is being computed on the "private cloud compute"?
And they can push computer to Apple cloud when compute on the device is not enough.
Apple Intelligence for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
The worst part of Apple Intelligence is that it will now be a layer in between you and your friends & family. Every message will now be "cleaned up" by Apple Intelligence so you are not directly talking with your mom, best friend etc.
The situation is the SSH server is exposed everywhere, and you also have an unrelated VPN, maybe even via a paid service you don't manage. The VPN just provides you with an alternative IP address and privacy when traveling. It matters a lot more if someone hacks the SSH server.
It works on Windows.
I'm glad that they finally brought a better window tiling system. If that sherlocks a couple of dozen utility apps, I'm OK with that. it has been long enough. Some of those apps will be fine as they will probably provide more controls.
I was wondering if I maybe experienced a bug. Do you shortcut drawn games when neither player can win?)
It does work on windows; the mentioned that. No word yet on Android.
It works on Mac -and- Windows? Goodbye 1Password! The browser extension has been SO buggy for me on Safari ever since v8, I'm SO excited that I might finally be able to ditch it. I even mentioned it in a comment before[0]. Looks like the day has come!

Indeed, but 28-45 isn't that much zoom..
How is this going to affect battery life realistically with all the semantic indexing going on in the background?
macOS Sequoia Preview
But you have to keep re-signing it every week or so, which is a major pain
OpenAI is an option when making a query, but Apple made it sound like the first deal they're making, not the tight collaboration everybody was expecting.

They gave more space and reverence to Ubisoft.
It's either "Apple Intelligence" or "Generative Intelligence", not "Artificial Intelligence" and "Generative Models"... so silly to brand common ideas with a small twist.

Basically all your information is sucked into a semantic system, and your apps are accessible to a LLM. All with closed models and trusted auditors.

Also funny how they pretend it's a great breakthrough when Siri was stupid-Siri for so many years and only now is lately coming to the AI party.

I really hope those gen-images won't be used to ridicule and bully other people. I think it's kind of daring to use images of known people without their consent, relying on the idea that you know them.

And it's dawning on me that we are already neck-deep in AI. It's flowing through every app and private information. They obliterate any privacy in this system, for the model.
I started using Keychain pretty much primarily this year (other than 1Password at work) and it works pretty seamlessly for me (granted Apple devices only). Even the Chrome extension works quickly as if it were a native part of Chrome.

Glad they're splitting it out of System Settings into a dedicated app.

I've also started migrating family members to it. It'll be way easier for the less technical people since it's already tightly integrated in the devices and OS they use everyday.
Ok, so why not write them regular mails? Much more personal imo, you can preserve your handwriting as well, dont rely on an email provider, not handing over personal data either etc. Only flipside I see it is a bit harder to include digital data e.g. videos, but easier to add analog/physical.
People have ethical concerns about all the public images that were scraped. Regardless of whether or not we agree with them, it is a pretty popular stance to take.
just in case you don't know, there's an actual ending.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_End_of_Evangelion
It's interesting how positive the commentary is here. I am generally much more pro-AI than the average HN commentator, but frankly I find this release completely underwhelming.

Just replace Siri with chatgpt and give it actions, that is what everyone wants - why can't we have that?
The password manager that we have today is terrible, that's why people are not using it.
Considering they spent the first half of that segment throwing shade at people who claim privacy guarantees without any way to verify them, Apple hopefully will provide a very robust verification process.
The greatest thing I ever did to help non technical people is to make sure they all have adblockers. I can only install ublock on android firefox and this is why I never recommend iphones. Too much malvertisement crap that apple won't let me block.
This is welcome. Central password management really should be an OS feature. Drives me crazy that every browser I use has a different credentials store and sync service.
One of my biggest feature wishes finally come true. A few updates back they made the Passwords section in Settings one level less deep, and I was very frustrated they realized it should be easily accessible but didn’t bother making it a standalone app when Keychain existed on Mac.
Three thoughts on staying focused while working for yourself
He would call them a bunch of tasteless bozos.
I mean, my parents will immediately move to this from BitWarden.

There is still a place for password managers, but if I'm the LastPass CEO, writing is on the wall with this announcement... They will see a large exodus of customers that use Apple OS.
The "kits" are "openish" to developers. I imagine that many app developers are going to be making models for specific use cases.
I understand the point you're trying to make and I agree that FreeBSD tends to have cleaner code and better documentation at different levels but I don't think that it makes it that much more difficult. If you dropped in from a different world and had zero experience then I think you're right and a systems team would almost always pick BSD. Any actual experience pretty quickly swings it the other way though; there are also companies dedicated to helping you fill in those gaps on the Linux side.

I've built a couple embedded projects on Linux, when you're deep on a hard problem, the mailing lists and various people are nice, but the "source of truth" is your logic analyzer and you debug the damn thing. Or your hardware vendor might have some clues as they know more of the bugs in their hardware.
Lawyers don’t care about the spirit of any law, it’s the language that matters!
I love that Apple has a tight control over the App Store, but I would love to just shove whatever I want on a device I own and if it blows up on me, more the fool I.
It is claimed that the simulator will run WAITS, though in what condition, is not clear: https://gunkies.org/wiki/WAITS
The existence of a port does not guarantee future support of a port. Safari used to run on Windows. They're also somewhat notorious for trash quality Windows ports.
It's zdnet and the headline is designed as clickbait. LastPass is likely the most recognizable brand (LastPass claims #1 on their homepage) and among the knowledgable, it absolutely has among the highest recognition not to mention clickbait-worthiness.

The article text mentions 1Password as the first listed PWM product.
Community: A group nation, state, or body of people who share a common
cultural identity, joint possession or sharing of; property, wealth,
ethnicity, social organized relationships, having kinship, mutual
obligations etc.

I don't think so Google

Did you mean?

Serf: minion, peon, puppet, slave, captive, chattel, servant, subject, workhorse etc
> Curiosity is inherently proactive. An LLM, fundamentally, is a file. It's a FILE. It just sits there until you ask for output.

And the difference between proactive and reactive here boils down entirely to an infinite loop and some kind of I/O (which could be as trivial as "web search" function call). It so happens that, in the way LLMs are deployed, you're supplying the loop through interaction. But nothing stops you from making a script and putting while(True) on top.

Put another way, if you had a brain debugger and paused execution to step it, the paused brain would also "just sit there until you ask for output". LLM interactions are like that. It doesn't make it limited in any fundamental way, much like an interactive application isn't limited in a fundamental way just because you only ever use it by putting a breakpoint in its event loop and running a cycle at a time.
The rarest move in chess [video]
Desktop Linux market share continues to grow and as a part of that group, I rely on 1Password because I can use it across all of my systems.

The other major password managers are on Linux, and Apple will need to support Linux for this new offering to be interesting to me.
I like that they finally brought typing interaction to Siri. You won't always need to use voice.

This does look like a real-world implementation of the concept promoted by Rabbit. Apple already had the App Intents API mechanism in place to give them the hooks into the apps. They have also publish articles about their Ferret UI LLM that can look at an app's UI and figure out how to interact with it, if there are no available intents. This is pretty exciting.
One day all your online accounts could be blocked with the message: Your account is blocked. This helps protecting the community. In my case this kinda happened with most social networks on which my accounts are suspended. Yes my opinion is not default. But thats the issue.
Eva is pretty sustainable, just not for Gainax. Studio Khara has been selling Eva merchandise and related materials through brands like Radio EVA for a while.

Gainax just kind of doesn’t have any of the IP anymore, for various reasons.
Yes. I’m the target customer for this service. Me. I have had 10+ jobs in Silicon Valley, from YC startups to FAANG. They failed because their core product had no value to its customers above and beyond what currently existed and only created friction. This is the crux of it. If they delivered value that their customers benefited from they would still exist.

I have probably 100 coworkers I could text right now and have lunch with this week. I have hundreds that I’m still friendly with. Zero of them used Triplebyte either because they didn’t hear about them or because of what I mentioned above. Having no customers or no users at the breadth of experience that I or my colleagues have is a true indication of what chances they actually had to succeed, which was nil. Meanwhile EVERY SINGLE ONE of them knows LinkedIn. My last 3 jobs were through LinkedIn. That gap plus lack of benefit for going through Triplebyte is why most would not take it seriously.

250k “users” is a false number in as much as most of them probably didn’t place through Triplebyte. I would love to know how many people actually got jobs through Triplebyte but I would guess much much less than 10,000. That would represent at least 250M in revenue and it could be sustainable at that point. Given the fact it died it must mean it had much less than 10k.
I think being able to use your own LLM is def a plus.
Why would I use it over Bitwarder?
Does the Chrome extension still require you to enter a six digit code every day to even use it? When I tried it this was incredibly annoying and I switched back to 1password shortly after.
I had similar reactions, a couple add-ons to make:

1. Yes, App Intents feel like the best version of a LAM we'll ever get. With each developer motivated to log their own actions for Siri to hook into, it seems like a solid experience.

2. Image Gen - yeah, they're pretty nasty, BUT their focus on a "emoji generator" is great. Whatever model they made is surprisingly good at that. It's really niche but really fun. The lifelessness of the generations doesn't matter so much here.

3. Polish - there's so much polish, I'm amazed. Across the board, they've given the "Intelligence" features a unique and impressive look.
Where and how do the content creators fit into this?
You think people will migrate from LastPass to 1password or do you think this just limits new inbound.

Also if those two apps didn't have a product feature map way ahead of apple then they were doomed from the get go. They must have known something like this was a significant business threat if not existential risk...
The stdlib is, as of a few weeks ago. The rest I presume will follow once they are sure of their MLIR moat
There are a lot of people who do not want their phone seamlessly hooked into anything OpenAI touches. Choice is important
Except the Intent API is completely crippled. Maybe the next big OS will just let the AI parse existing menus and figure out all the potential actions an app can take. Some actions need complex objects, so we need a new general mechanism for AIs to connect to 'exported functions'.

Some general OS rethinking is overdue. Or maybe Android is ready for this? Haven't looked into it since they made development impossible via gradle.

Despite this negativity the announcements were better than expected, rebranding AI is bold and funny. But the future will belong to general Agents, not a hardcoded one as presented.
The Ladybird folks frequently claim that directly implementing the modern versions of standards is a huge benefit.
For this to catch on it needs to have a Chrome app - that's the only way employers let you use a password manager
if the servers are so private, why is on-device such a win? here are some irrelevant distractions:

- the cpu arch of the servers

- mentioning that you have to trust vendors not to keep your data, then announcing a cloud architecture where you have to trust them not to keep your data

- pushing the verifiability of the phone image, when all we ever cared about was what they sent to servers

- only "relevant" data is sent, which over time is everything, and since they never give anyone fine-grained control over anything, the llm will quietly determine what's relevant

- the mention that the data is encrypted, which of course it isn't, since they couldn't inference. They mean in flight, which hopefully _everything_ is, so it's irrelevant
Hardly. While not everyone is entirely within the Apple eco-system a huge number of people are that go beyond the necessary critical mass. Apple already built this into the OS they just kept it under the clunky Settings UI - so seems like a logical and low-effort move.

If the Family Sharing aspects are well done I'd happily say goodbye to my 1Password subscription.
The name and attempted reappropriation of the term "AI" is going to make SEO a pain in the ass.
So… this new app does most of what the depreciated “Keychain” app did, except now it’s got a iOS-looking UI. Huzzah, I guess, the “passwords” section in the iOS-restyled system prefs sure wasn’t substituting for Keychain for me. Passwords doesn’t appear to handle secure notes, though, and I still have a few of those, too.

I still really hate the iOS-restyled system prefs. Tiny unresizable text, a long vertical scroll. I can’t find a damn thing in it and just use the search bar every time and feel faintly annoyed about it.
I wonder if this will become a paid feature or part of iCloud+ later on. Or do they expect it to be mostly on device models driven?
I definitely agree that this industry, for all of its self-proclaimed freethinking and innovation, is rife with cultural baggage. Allowing for an independent standardized interview step would defy the not invented here syndrome that many leading corporations ascribe to, that their process is best. Not to mention reducing friction for applicants (by don't repeating your Leetcode stage) is inimical to employee retention incentives, that is preventing them from shopping around for new employers. So me saying that we oughta have a standardized test to save everybody's time is more wishful thinking than anything.
This is such an obvious violation that I think Apple is testing it on purpose. They gain nothing by blocking this specific app. Maybe they just want to see what they can do.
“ You want the freedom to make your own uninformed decisions based on data that you don't understand. That's fine.”

I think I am pretty capable to look up what a lot of the data means and make decisions based on that. One possible decision may be to consult a specialist.
We actually did use ROS in production at a previous job a decade ago.
If I understand correctly there's three things here:

- on-device models, which will power any tasks it's able to, including summarisation and conversation with Siri

- private compute models (still controlled by apple), for when it wants to do something bigger, that requires more compute

- external LLM APIs (only chatgpt for now), for when the above decide that it would be better for the given prompt, but always asks the user for confirmation
It's a proper app that can be reached in one click rather than hidden in system UIs. Basically Keychain Access but for 2024 rather than 2001
Bump helmets.
> "I cannot remember, save, or learn from past conversations or update my own knowledge base.

Is that really baked in through fine-tuning or just part of the web client system prompt? Becauze you can furnish the model with memory via the API.
While I think it's cool and I appreciate Apple crafting better stories on why this is helpful, I still think for the everyday person, they won't really care if it's AI or not.
I agree with the chargeback and legal reasons, and I think those are valid enough reason for Apple to restrict porn from showing up in the App Store.

POTENTIAL TMI:

The moral reasons? I'm not so sure; sample size of one, but I was a pretty typical 13 year old boy with the internet and engaged with it, and my sexual tastes are pretty vanilla and haven't changed much in the last twenty years. I don't think it necessarily follows that having lots of access to porn leads to a desire for harder and harder porn. I never wanted to watch scat porn of rape roleplay or anything crazy like that.

I think porn is pretty bad for young people in general, I think it does objectify people and creates unrealistic and bizarre standards (for all genders, but disproportionately women), and I think a lot of it is exploitive, so I'm not really trying to defend the porn industry. It's pretty shady.

END OF TMI.
> Privacy protections are built in for users who access ChatGPT — their IP addresses are obscured, and OpenAI won’t store requests. ChatGPT’s data-use policies apply for users who choose to connect their account.

> ChatGPT will come to iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia later this year, powered by GPT-4o.
What Apple showed in the demo looks tastefully done. The jury is out on how useful it will be in day to day use, but it'll be nice to have the ability to ask AI for help with text, search, and images without resorting to copying and pasting between ChatGPT or some other AI app.
I think a lot of the times python is used almost exclusively for dead simple batch tasks where this level of detail is just not remotely needed.
It’s an on-device RAG.
Apple jumps into the AI arms race with OpenAI deal
No transcripts in Voice Memos? The one feature I was surprised hasn‘t already been there for years, heavily rumored before this WWDC, and now nothing?
iOS has had ad blocking for years now. This was true quite a while ago, yeah.
Their product was a two sided market. Two sided markets are always hard, but it doesn’t get any easier if one of the sides (job candidates) loses trust in the platform. Glassdoor is finding out the same thing.

If you’re looking for examples where privacy violations hurt a company’s chances for success, look at Instagram for Kids. It was cancelled largely because the kinds of parents who would even consider such an app don’t trust Meta.
A similar pattern exists in tech startup hiring practices and which ones attract VC funding. Not unusual to see funded startups with founders who have no work experience but Stanford degrees. Before my time at The Atlantic, I had a couple recruiters for no-name startups tell me I didn't have a prestigious enough background to be hired. There is a highly-visible class hierarchy in tech that many people in the industry seem unaware of. Perhaps this is because base salaries are high-enough that the middle class is just happy to be included at all.
could you post a link or 2 of the DIY devices? very interesting since this kind of device obviously needs a lot of integration into the PWM software ecosystem.
I wish there was a way to leverage my M1 Mac to use this on my iPhone Pro 14. Like a private connection between my phone and computer to use the more powerful chip, even if it's limited to when I'm at home on the same Wi-Fi. Latency shouldn't be too bad.

But I think Apple is going to limit iPhones from doing something like that to boost sales of the 15 Pro and the future gens.
Technically, if you find a system that doesn't satisfy the Schrödinger equation, you have falsified many worlds. On the other hand, is the wave function collapse falsifiable? Note that MWI makes less assumptions than Copenhagen.
Wow. Each to their own I suppose. We have a corporate account and I think 1Password is pretty fantastic. Additionally, all of our employees are given family accounts, that include 5 individuals, for free. I highly recommend 1Password to everyone I know.
I'm getting ready to release ours as open source (hardware and software) soon:

Tight control isn't the only thing that defines iOS. I hate Google (and on my android phones i don't log in with a Google account). I would go with apple for more privacy. But their strict control of the platform is unacceptable for me.

This is the problem with the current duopoly. Both options are pretty terrible.

I think it's great what the EU is doing though they're leaving too many loopholes for Apple to weasel through. And I think they should be attacking Google much harder.
Definitely, it is something we are super focused on as it seems to be a use case that is important for folks. Opening up the proxy server and adding local LLM support is my main focus for today and will hopefully update on this comment when it is done :)
Why do you have the need to use different browsers? Use the one you like on all your devices is easy.
That's right. There's something I always say: "Lawyers are only purposivists when it benefits them, and textualists at any other avenue."
I was surprised that bytes were a lesser known type in Python, but now that I think about what you're saying I guess it's true. The bytes type doesn't get surfaced if you're only working with higher level libraries that do the bytes to str conversion for you.
I would think you should admire her for taking a strong moral stand at the expense of the business. She added a number of grievance-oriented features to reduce "bigotry", "xenophobia", etc; thereby making the product less able to render reality; thereby hurting its value proposition; thereby losing users; thereby cratering the share price.
Looks like a very similar strategy as Google Maps on the initial iPhone
Show apple be able to block apps from third party stories like in the article?
I think it depends on the password, Bluetooth encryption would probably be fine for, like, my forums passwords. If anyone within, like, 50 feet of me right now wants to break into my Hackernews account… IDK, my dog does seem like a real jerk actually, so if I make any dumb posts let’s assume that she’s stolen my passwords.

A dedicated device would be nice and, actually, keeping your passwords on something that never even has to touch the internet would be ideal. But my phone already has a nice big touchscreen to make it easier to pick a password. Reusing an old device could work but that’s limited.
the natural language tasking for actions between apps is the first thing that's made me excited about anything related to the latest AI craze. if apple can keep it actually private/secure, I'm looking forward to this.
