Is there any stats about how outsourcing to India is going? I know a few managers of companies that had teams in India and those are now replaced by gpt. But that’s anecdotal and I wonder if this is just coincidence or if that happens at any scale.
Agreed. It is not high resolution as such, but high resolution that the user can relate to - like cannot see the pixel.

Still remember the hard time using Apple newton in a conference vs the palm freely on loan in a Gartner group conference. Palm solved a problem, even though not very Apple … user can input on a small device. I kept it, on top of my newly bought newton.

Doesn't everybody publish their articles online now too?
"Linoleum is a floor covering made from materials such as solidified linseed oil (linoxyn), pine resin, ground cork dust, sawdust, and mineral fillers such as calcium carbonate, most commonly on a burlap or canvas backing."

Not sure if there's anything that's been shown to be a problem in there, but it doesn't seem to involve any pthalates.

But yeah, I'd personally just go with a smaller house with hardwood, rather than a larger one made of crap like vinyl planking (and that's what we did, in practice).
I have an iPad (not iPhone or Mac). If you don't set up Icloud, there's always an annoying bright red circle in settings that tells you to "finish setting up your iPad".

Doesn't have to be bright red, or even there at all.
Can’t you pre-filter it with a vector lookup or something cheap first (gpt3.5?). Or even simply filter first by other things you are considering for the trading decision (price to earnings for example). That might save you a lot of cost.
It’s interesting that a sub-ChatGPT 3.5 class model can do a lot of things on-device if you marry it with a good platform and feed it personal context. GPT-4o, living on the browser, is not as compelling as a product compared to what Apple Intelligence can do on the iPhone with a less capable model.

The problem with existing VR tech is that it's still too cumbersome to use. Nobody wants to wear a hefty computer strapped to their face for casual use, let alone for prolonged periods of time. The form factor needs to be much more lightweight and unobtrusive for the product to have a chance at mass adoption.

There are AR devices in the form of sunglasses now, but the displays and experience pale in comparison to VR headsets.

We're still a few more generations away from VR headsets shrinking and AR glasses improving for this experience to be universally enjoyable.

I'm curious how that works. After all, there's still only $14 per Premium user per month to go around.
> If you don't update your local software then it will certainly become automatically backdoored by an accumulating series of security vulnerabilities over time.

Y'know though, when you put it that way, it sounds inherent that security vulnerabilities will pop up, which is kinda true, at least for the foreseeable future, but to be pedantic, the security vulnerabilities are already there, it's discovering them that's the problem. If we could make secure computers... (time to formally prove everything from the ground up I guess.)

But, that said, I wasn't overlooking this, I'm just looping "getting pwned" into "active involvement". If you have some sufficiently isolated machines, they're probably fine indefinitely. The practicality of this is limited outside of thought experiments. However it's definitely worth noting that unlike a compromised remote, it is at least technically feasible to work on the problem of making local compromise more evident, whereas a remote compromise is truly impossible to reliably be able to detect from the outside.
I thought the news of them using Apple Silicon rather than NVIDIA in their data centers was significant.

Perhaps there is still hope of a relaunch of xserve; with the widespread use of Apple computers amongst developers Apple has a real chance of challenging NVIDIA's CUDA moat.

AI may take over the world, but we probably need 2 orders of magnitude of cost reduction, plus a significant improvement in intelligence, plus significant global legislative support, for AI to meet the promises being made right now. To be clear, I do think it'll be transformative, I just think it's "internet" level transformative over a career-long time horizon.
How many alt accounts are you using? You've reposted this "evidence" several times over the course of multiple days/accounts with no new discoveries or concrete findings.

Yes, but i don't think that is the only consideration.

After all, if only number of words written mattered, the best thing to do would be to just have an empty slide.

Being concise is better than verbosity all things being equal, but not at the expense of failing to clearly get your point across.

I really didn't understand what the tutorial is doing with JWT. BTW, PostgREST supports JWT for authentication, so there's nothing to do here unless this application is a sort of JWT issuer (but I really didn't get that sense at all).

FWIW, I used to use GCP and Workspace, used to talk to someone once or twice a year, had no problems with the support. I've also seen AWS drop the ball on security disclosures, so I think experiences between all of them can be pretty mixed.
I think there is some generalizing here I grew up in an Australian City in the 90's.

Even back then kids weren't clamoring to play outside in the street. Or ride bikes etc (there was a clique at school who were skateboarders but not a widespread thing). I think it very much depends on the kids temperament, my experience as a kid didn't involve a lot of outdoors activities.

However my parents were pretty big on making sure I had exercise I played sport on the weekend (cricket in the summer and soccer in the winter) and it was non-negotiable my parents insisted on it. If not for sport I don't think I'd have spent any time outdoors at all.

I think Weekend Sport might be an Australian cultural thing does the US have weekend kids sports?
A lot of textual analysis is fairly mundane — it's the equivalent of a document allegedly from 1962 saying "when Reagan became President" or being typeset with LaTeX or referring to "selfies". Specialists, of course, can pull off much more sophisticated versions of this kind of thing ("that is a phrase that never appears elsewhere in the Pauline corpus and also it doesn't fit with Paul's soteriology and also it's from the wrong dialect of Greek, therefore it's probably not authentic").

The US began arming the "Khmer Rouge" (whatever that means) in 1979 as well as protecting them in the UN, so the equivalence seems pretty valid to me.

But the setup is that Apple doesn't know which cleartexts currently being processed are associated with which user meaning that even live surveillance can't work without surveilling everybody, making any such program very quickly discoverable. Read the section about non-targetability in the link.

Jargon generally takes on its own meaning and context beyond a naive reading. "ROV" customarily refers to an underwater remotely operated vehicle, not merely any "remotely operated vehicle" (contrast with flying "drones" or contemporary cars with cell modems). I'm nowhere near an expert or even frequent user of the term, that's just from my casual recollection and a quick search seems to back it up.

The proper comparison isn't the author's time versus the readers looking it up, but rather readers encountering a term for the first time having to look it up versus every other reader having to read overly verbose writing that reiterates basic definitions rather than getting to the novel points. If you're as interested in ROVs as you imply, well now you know for all of the other times you will read the term. If you're really expecting to never encounter the term again, I wonder why you're reading a technical engineering-adjacent forum.

And yes, effective communication within "like-minded cliques" is exactly what is facilitated by jargon. Personally I'd rather read concise technical descriptions from such direct communications (doing the work to learn what I don't know from context or external sources), rather than having to skim through watered-down general-audience "edutainment" articles and read between the lines to figure out the specific touchstones being referenced by canned general phrases.
There's a latent bias here that any audience can be engaged. That's simply not true. Some stories are told in a medium that is difficult for specific audiences to agree with (I'm thinking here of the difference between people who learn by listening, reading, doing), but some audiences just won't care about the story you're telling. You could be Tolkien himself, but if people you happen to be telling a story to aren't interested in fantasy, they won't engage.

Engagement is like dating: be attractive, don't be unattractive, and remember that it's a numbers game. "Be attractive" meaning, learn how to tell a good story. "Don't be unattractive" meaning, don't make stupid mistakes like not using a microphone and speaker in a large group, or hitting send at 7 PM on a Friday night. "Remember that it's a numbers game" meaning, don't spend all your energy on your first audience and get discouraged if they don't engage; just do you and tell your story to as many people as possible until you find those who do engage with you.

Easel on iMessage has photorealistic, multiplayer, remixable AI avatars
The Easel app on iMessage has been out for a bit, where users can create photorealistic quality AI avatars, with friends in the scene together, all from the iMessage. Unlike normal stickers, friends can tap on an Easel image, and remix to put themselves in the scene. Wondering about the quality once Apple's Genmoji comes out!
There's a difference between being forced to compromise user security and doing it willingly in the name of vague "AI safety" concerns.

Furthermore, most governments don't like the "march in with a warrant and demand information" approach, because it's loud and noisy. People might move data out of a given cloud if they know there's spooks inside. And more importantly, it creates a paper trail, which they don't want. So there's a lot of effort put into compromising cloud servers by intelligence agencies.

Looking at Apple's blog post regarding Private Cloud Compute[0], they've basically took every security precaution they could to prevent covert compromise of their servers. They also have some fancy attestation stuff that, most notably, creates a paper trail whenever software changes. Once again, spooks absolutely hate this. It's technically possible for Apple to subvert this scheme, but that would require coordination from several different business units at Apple. Which, again, creates a paper trail. Spooks would much rather exploit a vulnerability than demand code signing keys that would provide evidence of cooperation.

To be clear: no, this isn't end-to-end. You can't currently do end-to-end encrypted cloud compute[1]. But it's still Apple putting lots of money into a significant improvement in terms of privacy and transparency regarding cloud services. OpenAI in contrast does not give two flying fucks about your data privacy, and makes building an AI Panopticon one of their deliberate, expressly stated design goals. Their safety team, at least by their own admission, cannot operate without total knowledge of everything their models get prompted with so they can implement reactive controls for specific exploits.

[1] Homomorphic encryption is not theoretically impossible, but imposes significant performance penalties that negate the performance advantages of Apple using a cloud service. I suspect that they at least gave it some thought though.
If you have an application that is mostly just relational data, and if all the business logic is easy to write as SQL, then PostgREST is essentially a no-code REST API for your database, and it's way less effort than anything you'd do in Java/Golang/Python/Rust/C++/whatever.

Plus it's easier to get concurrency right if you push as much of the business logic into the RDBMS as SQL or similar.
This is great but… isn’t there something fundamentally eye-straining about capturing media at a given 'interocular' distance and then displaying it to a person at their own individual and different 'interocular' distance?

Interocular, meaning distance between a pair of eyes/lenses
It seems like the defence attorney knew about the meeting with the witness and wanted to intimidate them by showing up unannounced. Notice they agreed to testify then after the defence counsel shows up they have now changed their minds.
Not really, that image is stereo but it isn’t 360 degree and it can’t support arbitrary viewing angles and positions after the fact. It works perfectly for passthrough because the headset cameras are physically locked to your head.
Not saying that what they did is not commendable (in my mind even if you get more than 10 users, your app/site is already great), but ultimately it was a copy. There was nothing original as such. Just an app with Indianised version of a bird sound won't work in the long haul right ?

Also their user base gain was because of controversies, you bring controversial public, they're gonna want that sort of environment.

One more thing worked for them was Nationalism, Indian platform, for Indians, by the Indians type of thing. That also will only take you so far.

I still like the app, it's just that, it's not going to be the "Big thing" that they promised their investors.
Because the buckets were always there and the main difference is their visibility.

> It doesn't have to be churches

Strictly true, but if people aren't strongly compelled to show up somewhere, they aren't apt to. Historically, the "fear of God" ensured that people went to church, effectively forcing them to gather, meet each other, so on and so forth.

The only thing I see that comes close to that these days is youth sports leagues, where parents have a fear of failing their children if not heavily involved in such activities. While this does seem to establish some kind of community amongst parents of children of similar ages, it does not seem to expand out into parents with children of dissimilar ages even within the same sport, let alone an even larger community. Which is not terribly surprising as there is not much reason for someone unrelated to a participating child to show up.

I might even go as far as to say that because parents get stuck in those narrowly isolated communities, it contributes a fracturing to any larger community that might have otherwise been able to form. It is difficult to have a general community of only 20-somethings and the elderly with little in-between.
There is a wide gap between complying with law enforcement requests and judicial orders and intentionally lying. Yes, if Apple can (trivially) read your data, then one must assume that at least the US government can access your data! Though if that's in your threat model I have a couple of other bad news items for you. Apple actively reduces that surface by moving ~everything to ee2e storage with keys held on customer devices. This is pretty transparently the attempt to be able to say "sorry can't do that without changing OS code and for _that_ discussion we have won in court. Really sorry that we can't help you". And yes, that's probably just to decrease the compliance costs. Still same result
Thanks but no thanks.

Watching video of 3d movie vs insta360 home made one in my meta quest 3, I wonder the definition of immerse experience. 3d is not 360. Not that immersive may I say. Obviously for cinema perhaps you have a limit to how wide the scene go as you need to direct the audience eye. And ears.

Hence there is a limit and that camera is very camera like. Anyway wait for a cheaper version so to use my cheaper meta quest 3. Both 3d and 360 had their role.

Valorant took a massive amount of market share from CS:GO, in large part because of a very intrusive but highly effective anti-cheat system. Cheating in online games is a hard problem to solve and can make games completely unplayable. Gamers are generally much more bothered about cheating than about the privacy risks of anti-cheat, whether you agree with them or not.

For the paranoid, dual-booting to a games-only OS image would be a reasonable choice.
It does support arbitrary viewing angles in the sense that IPD is accounted for. It generates a view for your specific eye position. It handles in painting around the user's hands as well.

Of course it's not magic so the views it can generate are limited.

> If users could set their own preferred AI bot as the go-to for Siri requests or writing help, like Anthropic’s Claude or — say, xAI’s Grok — it’s doubtful that Musk would be yelling this loudly about the dangers of such an integration.

This is basically what I thought of when I saw this headline at first. Musk does not give a damn about the usage of ChatGPT, he's just annoyed that it's not _his_ AI tool that's ingesting Apple user's data.
I miss the old free-to-air days more and more. I could live with VHS quality if I got 30second skip or at least FF of my chosing, not unskippable content.

I don't think they're just taking the images and projecting them onto each lens of the vision pro. Forgetting about inter-ocular distance for a second - that just wouldn't work for head tracking and letting you move around the image.

Instead I assume they're using the pair of lenses to approximate a 3d model which allows for display at a variety of angles (all reasonably close to where the camera is), and then rendering from that model for the person looking at the image based on the angle they are actually looking at it from. Which solves the interocular distance problem, because you render for each eye based on where the persons eye is resulting in a distance between the two display images that doesn't have to match the camera.
I wish Descartes and his peers could have lived to see this. It must have been misery.
