The interesting thing I took from that is they are making servers with M-series chips. Maybe they're just rack mounted Mac Minis? But if Apple decides that crap, maybe it'll get them to a point where they decided to make a proper rack mountable form factor available??? <genmojiTechPrayingInFrontOfRack>
There's an integration with ChatGPT, that requires user approval every time.

Or a pie chart.
Yes US and European justice systems differ in this quite a bit.
They did it with Google Maps and YouTube. They also do this with the search engine used in Safari.

I believe they will just provide an interface in the future to plugin as a Backend AI provider to trusted parties (like the search engine) but will slowly build their own ChatGPT for more and more stuff.
> With onscreen awareness, Siri will be able to understand and take action with users’ content in more apps over time. For example, if a friend texts a user their new address in Messages, the receiver can say, “Add this address to his contact card.”

I wonder how they will extend this to business processes that are not in their training set. At https://openadapt.ai we rely on users to demonstrate tasks, then have the model analyze these demonostrations in order to automate them.
If Apple is sitting in the middle proxying the IP addresses, and not keeping any logs for longer than they absolutely need to, law enforcement could go pee up a rope, right?
There is a difference between knowing that an infra component will work as intended and how the choice of that component will impact the application.

Consider storage... is it local SSD storage or an object bucket... is it used as a scratch space, caching, or for blob storage

To add to GP, not only will bad or messy architecture arise, but I've seen serious bills occur because devs make a decision to use something without understanding the impact. Architected a different way would have saved the company more than the cost of one FTE

A counter point is that being a professional software developer is more than shipping features, you have to ship something that is profitable in the long run, which requires you have a broader perspective than your desire for a narrow focus.
I’m in the same boat. I really enjoy Bitwarden but I’m willing to give this a try to see if it’s as good as it could be
is this satire.
> Studio Khara has been selling Eva merchandise.

Including a partnership with ASUS ROG which led to the infamous "Evangenlion" motherboard.
My approach has been to move it out of the vendor OS entirely and embedd it in the keyboard. I'll be releasing this as open source (hardware & software) soon:

> Apple sets a new standard for privacy in AI,

That does not necessarily mean better, just different. I reserve judgment until I see how it shakes out.

but if I don't like this feature, and can't turn it off, I guess it's sadly back to Linux on my personal laptops.
Wikipedia is using information that has already been reasoned also. That is just knowledge. I specifically called out "novel reasoning" because you can use examples from your personal life after the model was trained, or completely fabricate scenarios, and it will still be able to produce interesting and useful reasoning about it.

Again, it's not the best tool available for training and logic applications, but the fact that it really can demonstrate novel reasoning along with its obvious knowledge means thar it clearly has some non-zero level of intelligence.
Next year they will surely fix the ipadOS.
No, no... Apple is totally cool and private. This is totally not like Recall at all, it's semantic index - and it only goes to the "private cloud" some of the times with your data.
Airline pilot is not a great choice for comparison.

Airline pilots are selected to be entrusted with many lives, with the utmost professionalism, and to perform with ability under stress.

And it shows, in the amazing track record of aviation safety.

Most software developers, on the other hand, are mainly paid to mechanically type out code, cribbing from StackOverflow or ChatGPT whenever they don't know something, to "get it done".

And it shows, with the atrocious track record of the entire industry at information security, for one obvious metric.
I mean I can already search my photos for “dog” or “burger” or words in text on photos. Adding an LLM to chat about it is just a new interface is it not?
Please, an encrypted key-value store. The private key is only shared between you, Apple, and relevant law-enforcement agencies. It's as private as you can ask for, these days!
There was one part that I didn't understand about AI compute: For certain tasks, server side compute will be done as on-device chip is not powerful enough I suppose. How does this ensure privacy in verifiable manner? How do you CONFIRM that your data is not shared when cloud computing is involved with AI tasks?
> Wouldn't this reduce sales for Grammerly?

There's a term for that, it's called being Sherlocked: https://www.howtogeek.com/297651/what-does-it-mean-when-a-co...
Only if Apple's app store doesn't have any special placement. Remember when the EU wouldn't let phone have default browsers? The first time you started the phone, it had to show you 5 browsers in a randomized order and you picked one.
Siri runs on device and on Apple's cloud which should be more private than ChatGPT. ChatGPT integration is a separate feature, and will include other providers in the future too.
For anyone interested in this, Bitwarden also gives away free Families plan (for up to 6 users) to all members of Enterprise plan.
Does Microsoft Office in early days of Mac OS count? I guess not.
> typescript-is is deprecated. It still works with TS 4.8 below, but it will not be updated.
> We are capable software engineers

That is completely meaningless in this context.
I do have a couple of asserts in my code, but that does not explain why every stack trace begins and ends with "assert()"

Actually I call syscalls from assembly, and my _start() is also an assembly function. That is why this happens I guess. strace somehow doesn't play well with code written in .s file?
The OpenAI reference came at the end, and it appears it's mostly a fallback... an option, that users must explicitly allow every time. Hardly a dependency. Most of the time, it will be on-device or apple-hosted in "private compute cloud", not connected to OpenAI at all.
It's not that odd considering that they made their approval aka notarization an explicit requirement for non-App Store apps. They also have that same veto power for all apps on macOS, although tech savvy users can bypass that veto.
Or, use existing now to get it going, then swap out for your own thing later. Hopefully, it will be better than previous swaps so that it doesn't be a meme worthy of being mocked in a comedy show "is it Apple Maps bad?"
I had not heard of it until a month or two ago and yeah parts of it were definitely a bit cringe in the classic anime fashion but I liked the story and art style overall.
After years and years of annoying ads, Grammarly taking a hit is the least they deserve
If you find a system that doesn't satisfy the Schrödinger equation, you have falsified quantum mechanics. The point is that many worlds isn't falsifiable independently of any other interpretation. It's "just" an interpretation.

And it's a very bad interpretation IMO as it fails to provide a convincing interpretation of the probabilities QM produces, which are the main predictive content of the theory. If you believe every outcome happens then one thing happening with higher probability than another loses meaning. The decision theory argument put forward by some many worlds proponents fails to solve this as it just provides a calculation you can do that produces the Born probabilities. It doesn't provide a convincing interpretation of them.

Edit: Also the claim many worlds is somehow more parsimonious in its assumptions than Copenhagen is highly dubious. It assumes an infinite multiverse that is splitting into infinite variants in every infinitesimal instant, in possibly the grossest violation of conservation of momentum and energy (and therefore the corresponding symmetries) that could be imagined.
I think "nearly every human" is a bit more hand wavy than the 60% statistic.

"brother didn’t bother to check the flight code I sent him via message when he asks me when I’m landing for pickup"

Yeah but what about people going to the wrong airport, or getting scammed by taking fake information uncritically? "Well it worked for me and anyway AI will get better.". Amen.
That was kind of my point. Many of these places don't have London postcodes nor are in the 020 phone district, and have had their own identity for a very long time as towns in their own right.

Some of them have in recent years been subsumed into boroughs that are now Greater London, but they have historically never been considered to be London. Some of these places inside the M25 are not even in Greater London boroughs. Despite your baseless claim that they are "morally" part of London, factually they aren't.

But anyway, my point was that these places in the article aren't really "in London" - they're merely on the periphery, and while it might be administratively convenient to sometimes lump them together as "Greater London", the fact remains that someone in e.g. Ealing when someone says "Let's meet on the High Street" isn't going to get confused and trek over to Acton or any of the other High Streets even further away, because the place feels like its own little area distinct from and separate to the real London.
Google Maps in the early days of iOS?

Anyway it seems like a small subset of Siri queries utilize ChatGPT, the vast majority of functionality is performed either locally or with Apple's cloud apparently.

They were also pretty explicit about planning to support other backend AI providers in the future.
Uugggghhhh
They're probably already using ML for this, just older forms of it.
It did sound like it would be opt-in. I think the current iteration of Siri already is, so it would make sense if they kept it that way.
I’ve been using Firefox for maybe 15 years. It has always been great. But in the past year or so, I’m finding that more and more web experiences are buggy and slow in Firefox, which is really frustrating.

I don’t know if it’s that developers don’t do sufficient QA testing in Firefox, or the creators of Firefox have fallen behind.

Either way it doesn’t bode well. I’m being forced to reach for Chrome more and more just to get certain websites to work, especially ChatGPT. It is way buggier in Firefox than Chrome. It feels like OpenAI doesn’t have a single person doing QA testing in Firefox, and why should they? It’s a sliver of the market.

If anyone at Mozilla/Firefox is reading this, this is really bad. This is the kind of thing that signals the death of something in the not too distant future.
I think the important thing is that the semantic index tracks all you do through all your apps.

Plus I’d now consider buying the new iPhone and wasn’t planning on a specific update from a 13 given the hardware is still fine
Being able to use macro expansion, stringification, concatenation, etc. in GCC inline asm is a major advantage over how, e.g. MSVC handled inline asm. Getting the constraints right is the hard part, the syntax isn’t much of an issue beyond the initial learning curve imo.
That's just the enterprise guarantee. The same applies to Azure OpenAI services and the API services provided by OpenAI directly.

> The phenomenon of Apple releasing a feature that supplants or obviates third-party software is so well known that being Sherlocked has become an accepted term used within the Mac and iOS developer community.[2][3][4]
Microsoft Recall => bad.
Apple Recall => good.
Yeah. It's going to be great. Selected experts are saying so.
In most people's mind, they see that some product that was $9.99 pre-pandemic is now $13.49 and conclude that "inflation is 35%". Educated people understand that this is really four years of 7% average inflation.

I think a good degree of this problem is political as well. People who hold unfavorable views of their leadership are more likely to think of inflation in cumulative terms, as well as ignoring wage growth.
> An innate trait/behavior for an animal is something defined by their DNA that they will all have, as opposed to learned behavior which are individual specific.

In that sense, most airplanes have an innate desire to stay in the air once aloft. As opposed to helicopters, which very much want to do the opposite. Contrast with modern fighters, which have an innate desire to rapidly fly themselves apart.

Then, consider the autopilot. It's defined "by their DNA" (it's right there in the plane's spec!), it's the same (more or less) among many individual airplanes of a given model family, and it's not learning anything. A hardcoded instinct to take off and land without destroying itself.

> An AI could easily be built to have innate curiosity - this just boils down to predicting something, getting feedback that the prediction is wrong, and using this prediction failure (aka surprise) as a trigger to focus on whatever is being observed/interacted with (in order to learn more about it).

It's trivial to emulate this with LLM explicitly. But it's also a clear, generic pattern, easily expressed in text, and LLMs excel at picking up such patterns during training.
Here’s a great example of why it could be ineffective: https://youtu.be/tD5NrevFtbU
So are they literally just launching an icon which opens keychain?
Orion browser for iOS allows both chrome and firefox extensions to be installed on iphones. (for now anyway, I'm sure apple will yeet them whenever they find out about it)

You need to change some settings first, but it worked when I put the firefox version of ublock origin on a phone.
Yeah that was my point. Programmers are no longer viewed as "professionals". I've never experienced it, but my understanding is that this used to be the case, mostly before the 2000 crash. That's when we wore ties, had offices with doors, were allowed to talk to customers and upper management, weren't herded around by "scrum masters", etc.

Seems like another world to me, but maybe there is some company somewhere that hasn't gotten the memo yet and still runs that way.
Credit where credit is due for co-opting the components of the "AI" acronym.
If you want to be able to run your software, on your device, buy an Android or Linux or even Windows device. Anything but Apple. The dollars don't lie: for some reason, people want to be controlled.
Not sure that it's every day but I haven't been too bothered by it. It's not unlike the security policies where I work. So needing to type in a OTP isn't out of my normal routine.
The PIOs really are a superpower for this kind of thing. Interestingly the RP2040 documentation mentions that each PIO uses roughly the same silicon area as a dedicated peripheral for something like SPI or I2C, so now that the concept has been proven to work in practice it would be amazing if the successor chip ditched most of the single-purpose I/O peripherals and replaced them with a huge battery of PIO channels which can each be programmed to do SPI, I2C, or whatever else as needed.
For many folks it is a luxury over cooking for themselves or getting food from food banks, kitchens, etc.

$10 for a burger and fries isn't accessible for many.
Nice to finally see a follow on to the Assistant feature from the Newton MessagePad.
I mean theres a difference between these companies on their privacy stance historical and current.
Agreed, for me it needs a solid webapp too. I reference personal credentials on my corp laptop and can't/won't login to anything that's in the system and am unable to install any unauthorized apps.
They only mentioned 4o, but they mentioned it explicitly at the start, well before they mentioned one can also tie in to their openAI account, if you have one, at the end of the presentation.

To me that implies 4o by default, but I guess we'll find out.
> Some apps are even developed well enough that a password originally stored via Chrome will be suggested for the app

At least on iOS, this works for any password manager.
this is just not true, even the huge creators mention that it's usually 30-50% of their revenue.
The simpler way to manage personal finances
Few months ago, I have created Flooz. A free tool to manage your finance and plan big expenses on several months.

Recently I have realised two things:
1. People are interested in managing their finances.
2. My tool was way too complicated to use.

I have therefore decided to oversimplify it and allow user to focus on the current month and what has been paid or not.
Took me a minute to catch on - just play the odds! At first I was trying to play tic tac toe, but the winning strategy seems to be to go for the square likeliest to land your own mark.
That sounds like what Humane is trying to do. But I would honestly hate to do everything by voice and have everyone around me know what I’m doing and hear everyone around me talk to their phones all the time. Sounds like a nightmare
In fact, not being able to do some of these things might improve privacy.
> the platform owners where you have most of your digital life

Yup! The hardest part of operationalizing GenAI has been, for me, dragging the "ring" of my context under the light cast by "streetlamp" of the model. Just writing this analogy out makes me think I might be putting the cart before the horse.
What hnlmorg said a few comments up
I wondered the same, but frankly, what other options are there?
Seems like the OpenAI integration is a nice-to-have, but mostly separate from Super-Siri?
Why do you think it odd? It makes total sense to me that they decide what software is allowed on their device.
> Rosetta is made out of Apple IIRC but integrated internally

Don’t think that’s right. I think Rosetta was always made inside Apple.

Perhaps mixing it up because of Rosetta Stone?

Be warned that certain doctors, especially endocrinologists, have been losing business, and they will do all they can to disempower people from self-testing and also from effective supplements or other basic self-administered treatments. They will lie, publish hogwash in journals that is not actually backed by data, and they will even believe their lies, all so they can get more steady patients and business.
I couldn't find any of the people you were talking about.
You're not evaluating this on a proper A/B basis. I dare say, you might not have landed at Flexport but you would have landed somewhere?

pedantry: surely you didn't go to a random apartment, rather it was their apartment.
The reduction of the number of personally targeted ads that you see can be a tangible benefit, and it is something you can measure. Sure it is subjective if that matters to you in seeing fewer personally (over-)targeted ads and if it is a quality of life improvement that you wish to have. But if you already feel that every ad targeted too specifically to yourself is a bit of a papercut, a reduction in papercuts is certainly measurable and obvious.
Isn't it your responsibility to sue them for that?
Presumably many would choose to block Invidious, and many would not. It sounds like none of them get a choice in the matter, which is why it's not crazy to question whether community is used as a euphemism in this case.
Oh, this information changes a lot. I don't know if you're in a place to accept feedback right now but here's some just in case: you need to fix your attitude fast or you won't last long at any company, remote or not.

If you treat your coworkers with anything approximating the dismissive, demanding, and entitled comments you've been leaving here you are making yourself a lot of enemies at work, and if you're not the boss you won't get away with that forever.

One-Line Patch for Intel Meteor Lake Yields Up to 72% Better Performance
I think it's true (at least partially), you transfer the outline to a cel and then colour it, any issues are covered by the paint.

With B&W you need to transfer the shading and you can't just (literally) fill the gaps with a colour.

All of these different interpretations use equivalent mathematics under the hood, and make identical, accurate predictions about what we will see in experiments. Where people get excited is in the stories they tell about what the math “means”. QM is definitely wierd, which makes the stories fun and hard to articulate. But “shut up and calculate” says that there is no truly satisfying story, all of our analogies are flawed, we will just go in circles for ever. So just calculate. And yes, the math works perfectly. A bit sad but quite pragmatic!

There are two stages really, right? Pre-microprocessor, it takes some effort to put together a programmable computer. Although now even amateurs implement computers based on 74-series and memory chips without a microprocessor.

After the microprocessor, it was truly very manageable for an amateur anywhere to build a computer. A handful of chips get you there, with no requirement for elaborate PCB or routing. Wikipedia lists the Mark-8 as first published and available as kit, in 1974 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark-8 - from a chemistry grad student. So, any country is now in. No problem. And "more interesting" university or research projects shift to LISP machines, multiprocessors, coprocessors, etc, or the VLSI chips themselves. Which does not prevent countries from promoting "national microcomputers" (including OS and programming language translated in the local language). Around microprocessors what is also interesting in this second phase are the commercial and "industry" development attempts in various countries as described by Asianometry.
We've been able to lock notes in the Notes app for a while either with a password or Touch/FaceID.
Hahaha I take the point, I thought I was slick because I got the thread.dev domain and so didn't consider SEO as much. One of the alternate titles we considered was `Show HN: Thread.dev` instead of just `Show HN: Thread` to minimize overlap but last second opted against it. Anyways appreciate the feedback.
If the modulus fits in 16 bits and the raw random number is 64 bits I don't think your results are going to be compromised.

This was my first thought when I saw Rabbit r1 - will all of us become backend developers just glueing various API between legacy services and LLMs? Today seems like another step in that direction.
The iPhone Mirroring was the most interesting announcement (and I don't think was leaked).

I suspect it will only be useful for emergencies as latency will be terrible, though.
