The way Google's password manager covers websites anywhere I'm logged into Chrome plus native Android apps anywhere I'm logged into Google Play is super convenient though (albeit total lock-in, I won't argue that). Some apps are even developed well enough that a password originally stored via Chrome will be suggested for the app, I guess by cross-referencing the origins in some mutual way. And payment card details will auto-fill pretty smoothly in a very similar way, as well.

It's fantastic, and for some reason I trust OS/browser developers to do this more safely than a company focused on password management that has to figure out OS APIs, write browser extensions, or rely on a clipboard that has nearly unbounded read access.
Does it strip ads?
Now I wonder if this is a thing that still exists, and I wonder if I should be spoofing my user-agent to Chrome just as a general rule in Firefox.
The privacy conversation was pretty shady, and honestly full of technical holes with pointless misleading distractions

Because to non-technical people, iPhones are a sparkling clean oasis in deceitful confusing crime ridden cryptic hell-hole.

You might think I am simping for Apple, but my stance is identical to yours. However I have the situation in my life of being surrounded primarily regular people. I don't live in a tech bubble or work in a tech job. My rants against apple are notorious, and I have largely stopped, because I can see how ignorant yet still apathetic people are about it.

Just a short story to encapsulate it:

On a recent trip with lots of friends we ended using my phone for most group shots and other nice pictures. The Pixel's camera really does shine.

However when it came time to share those pictures, I informed everyone it would be best to get google photos where we could all dump the hundreds of pictures into one communal album. This was quickly met with "What? I don't want to deal with that, why don't we just share them the regular way?" (imessage).
I spotted it right away. If you plan to use a library in your project RTFM

Specifically, the iOS update comes out with the new iPhones (usually dropping the same day the new devices are available) and the other OSes are usually timed to be released with it since features are shared across the OSes (so they want to release them at the same time) and the beta periods are the same.
The problem with the original statement is that a wall is not a car. If a car at 100 miles per hour hits a stopped car, let’s assume they will both move forward together at about 50 miles per hour.

If the kinetic energy for a car at 50 miles per hour is 1x, at 100 miles per hour, it’s 4x. After the collision, the total kinetic energy is 2x, and the other 2x was absorbed by damaging both cars. That’s different from hitting a wall where all the kinetic energy goes into damaging the car.

The damage from hitting the parked car matches the head-on collision, which starts with 2x kinetic energy and afterwards, it’s zero. (If they are stopped afterwards.)

If the cars were rigid, they would bounce off and go in opposite directions, like balls on a pool table. That would be very bad for anyone inside. Crumple zones absorb energy for good reasons.

I expect that guard rails absorb more energy than a brick wall?
I mean isn't that executive culture these days? The myth >> then the person.
It is funny to think about how many Apps have probably built text-generation into their product, just to get it enabled on Apple Devices for free.
Non-technical iOS users probably don't give a flying crap and would not even know if it was possible to download a PC emulator from a third party app store. The iPhone does lots of things right, and having some obscure options which only the technical crowd cares about will not change that.

To become another Android iOS would have to be licensed to other vendors and appear on cheaply made devices dragging its name through the mud.
It really is a simple as this. People often make it more complicated than this fundamental issue.
Interesting, in my experience the difference between Apple's MicroLED and OLED are night-and-day. OLED has better contrast ratios, faster response times, and generally better HDR presentation. For gaming, movies and color-grading I feel like OLED always has the nicer resolve. The only real advantage MicroLED can boast is cost, and ludicrously bright HDR.
> The real-life P = NP question: Can every text generated quickly by an algorithm (news summary, scientific claim, legal doc) be quickly verified for truthfulness by a human or automated system?

What is the relation of this question to the actual definition of the P-NP-problem?

Even adding the term "real-world", it seems to me like there is no connection at all, not even in a very broad, hand-wavy way.

As an steelman version of your problem, you could maybe relate it to the halting problem, but it's still way to far-fetched to make sense to me.
That's exactly what the EU's DMA does. It tends to get a lot of flak here for some reason.
They announced that, but all major IPs they had were already transferred to Khara and Trigger a couple years ago (that's why the TTGL movies reappeared in cinema a couple years ago). It's likely just some of the older/less popular stuff that's not easy to assign owners to that will need to be redistributed.
The public betas will be available later this month. The official OS releases are usually in Sept and Oct. Some of the AI stuff should be available right away but rumors say that some of the more advanced Siri features (like app integration) might not launch until after the first of the year.
There are other reasons to buy an iPhone. I loathe the App Store’s restrictions, and this is a showstopper for me regarding the iPad, which would’ve been Alan Kay’s Dynabook if it weren’t for being limited to the App Store. However, I’m willing to tolerate a restricted app environment on a phone, though I wouldn’t mind a less restrictive experience. Ignoring the App Store, I find iOS to be more polished than Android, and I also like how Apple provides OS updates for its iPhones for roughly five years. I’m on my third iPhone (a 14 Pro) after using an SE and a 7; I switched to the iPhone SE after two years of using a Google Nexus, which I loved and was disappointed when Google discontinued it.
Apple is putting ChatGPT in Siri for free later this year
Google's community is Google, I guess.
You wouldn't want to give free publicity to a serious competitor like btiwarden, 1password, or keepass.
UTM is open source, so you can build it yourself for your own iOS device, if you really want to.
It was a very quick mention, but Siri will now have a text button directly on the lock screen.

If we assume AI will get even 3-4x better, at a certain point, I can't help but think this is the future of computing.

Most users on mobile won't even need to open other apps.

We really are headed for agents doing mostly everything for us.

What’s wrong with the image generation?
The offline device with a plugin usb keyboard that "types" in your username and password is exactly what i've wanted forever. There are some devices people have made and posted online. I made a POC with an old android phone once but never got past that stage.

I investigated the bluetooth encryption and it didn't really seem up to the task. You could create a dongle that lived on wifi though that would do the same.
Paying for YT premium is even better. No ads and you support the content creators
Password manager apps have been put on notice.
I'd argue that your latter point (optimizing background apps) is majority of the improvement and this is something you can do in the OS regardless of where an app comes from (excluding rooted/jailbroken devices from scope).
This would've been a reasonable argument if Apple only ever denied apps because they did stupid things, not because they offered a payment gateway that did not pay Apple commission. Lets not pretend that Apple's control is only about curating an experience for the user, it is very significantly about maximizing profit as well.

As a side note, I've always understood that just stock iOS is way more optimized than stock Android simply because of better engineering. However, this is anecdotal and I don't have any references as such.
Native smartphone integration was always going to be the most important UI for genAI.

Followed by maybe search engines once it gets to a certain level of quality (which we seem to be a bit far from).

Then either desktop or home(alexa).
Nextdoor is close to the worst example I can think of in terms of dark patterns and user experience, and I don't say that lightly. I think it is quite fair to lay that at the feet of the executives.
No Linux or Android, which makes it useless for anybody having any devices running those. And since nobody wants to use two password managers, it remains a better solution to use a truly multi-platform one.
I used 1Password for years. Last year I decided to try out Apple's built-in manager (for which this new app is a pretty frontend for a feature that already existed). I was able to export all my passwords out of 1P and import them into 1P. Then my company gave us all free personal 1P accounts, and I decided to migrate back. I exported all my data out of Apple's password manager and imported it 1Password, then ran a script to de-dupe entries.

There's not much else to add: it just worked. I wish all "lock in" were that open.
OK, so how about "fall of empire" as taking place 1956-1984?

(3 decades sounds long to me, but it would allow a royal wedding and the recovery of Las islas Malvinas to be the last gasp of empire?)
Yeah there is a pretty good chance that once this rolls out I won't be using 1Password anymore.

I only use 1Password instead of native because I needed something that worked on Windows. Will need to see how well that works, but I just don't see a personal reason why I would not just use this when it works so much better on my iOS devices.
And by "community" they mean business model.
That's also my question. What exactly is apple custom LLM, and what is openAI tech ?

I'm quite confident in the ability of openAI to provide a great usable LLM tech, but much less so of apple. All the demo they've shown in the WWDC could just fall flat if the tech really isn't working well enough in practice. I guess we'll just have to wait and see..

Apple trying to rebrand AI = "Apple Intelligence" is a totally Apple thing to do.

I'll be curious to see if Apple gets caught with some surprise or scandal from unexpected behavior in their generative models. I expect that the rollout will be smoother than Bing or Google's first attempts, but I don't think even Apple will prove capable of identifying and mitigating all possible edge cases.

I noticed during the livestream that the re-write feature generated some pretty bad text, with all the hallmarks of gen AI content. That's not a good sign for this feature, especially considering they thought it was good enough to include in the presentation.
Gell-Mann Amnesia effect but for software instead of journalism
I'm really curious about this. Framing it as "running a large language model in the cloud" is almost burying the lede for me. Is this saying that in general the client will be able to cryptographically ascertain somehow the code that the server is running? That sounds incredibly interesting and useful outside of this.
I stick to 1Password 7 for that reason - thankfully it still works for the time being.
My understanding is it'll potentially get spores in it _after_ it gets cooked if it sits around a long time. So it may not matter how it's cooked?
> coming to iPhone 15 pro, iPad and Mac with M1 or later.

I assume it will come to all the iPhone 16’s this fall? Or is Apple Intelligence a Pro Feature?

Either way, my first reaction is that this is going to sell a lot of iPhones.
I think this will finally get me to switch from 1Password 7. I was never going to go to the new, subscription-only, electron-based 1Password, so its either hold out on 1P7 for as long as possible or look for something new.
1Password is still around? I used to love it, then they changed the app, pricing schema, UX, and generally made things worse overall.
It's something we are considering, I think Hex provides a lot of features that aren't available in existing local notebooks (SQL, reactive cell execution) that we hope to integrate for sure. I think both Jupyter and VS Code are really strong players in the space so one of the concerns we have was around whether the feature set would be compelling enough to get people to switch. (Which is why we wanted to post to test the initial reaction :))

The reason we wanted to focus on running things locally is that we were both engineers at big companies in the past, and we didn't have access to tools like Hex but we could use local tools. Our initial thesis is to bring the best development experience local and see if there is an opportunity to build a business model around collaboration features.
I thought it was underwhelming. The fact that integration with ChatGPT is not seamless pours cold water over it. Siri will seek your permission each time before passing the question to ChatGPT. I can avoid that step by using ChatGPT directly.
I would imagine the end goal here is to develop their own internal models (or partner with one of the companies doing open source models) that would be hosted on the Apple Silicon-based cloud they mentioned and then they would not be dependent on anyone else's compute.
And with ChatGPT's direct integration into Siri, ChatGPT will be available to anyone using iOS for free, without an account. Interesting.
Way out of my wheelhouse but after reading this it leads me to believe "heal machines" like in elysium and other scifi movies may not be that much scifi after all.... block an ion channel here, send a signal there... poof, your arm is back!

The problem is that there is no indication for now that users want integrate AI experience - feels like people are just too much into app specific things like "I use this app for this".

We will see though.

I feel like I remember there being plenty of examples of bad ChatGPT recipe generation.

Regardless, even if it wasn't ChatGPT, given the recent problems I would not have used that as one example given that regardless of who it came from.
Much thanks goes out to Microsoft and Apple for handing the Desktop to Linux!
I thought privacy was really well handled for a high-level overview. Basically it seems like anything thing it can't do on device uses ephemeral private compute with no stored data.

Any data sent to 3rd party AI models requests your consent first.

The details will need to emerge on how they live up to this vision, but I think it's the best AI privacy model so far. I only wish they'd go further and release the Apple Intelligence models as open source.
I was specifically and only talking about what amounts to a labor shortage. This whole discussion is centered around the issue that our societies are getting older, which is why we supposedly need immigration to offset the low birth rate. this issue in particular has been raised and solved through automation repeatedly since the industrial revolution.
AGPL still means someone can take what you've built and you'd be stuck "without an option(?)". Do you have a lawyer on retainer to pursue copyright claims? If no, and you don't want people to use your stuff, keep it closed source.
I was looking for homepod updates as well - I want to get rid of my Amazon Echo devices with homepods, but siri is #1 Slow #2 Dumb #3 messes up my grocery list. Grocery list and timers are the main use case for Amazon Echos - I really hope apple fixes it soon.
If it’s anything like their other Windows apps, Bitwarden is still going to be a superior option.

On the contrary this is probably good for MS. Lots of people just don’t want to buy into the Apple ecosystem. MS is dumping R&D money into this ML stuff, apparently without thinking of an actual product or application first. So, now they can just copy Apple.
In most of the Python shops I’ve worked in, people have no idea how async actually works (and why they shouldn’t make sync I/O calls in their endpoints) or even the basics of performance (how Python allocates memory, how to dodge the GIL without eating a bunch of pickling costs, etc). Never mind stuff like import path rules, metaclasses, packaging, etc. It often feels like the median Python (or JavaScript for that matter) user has a very different mindset than Rust, Go, C, etc programmers (in my experience, Python programmers also are much less likely to have used other languages extensively).
I'm retired, but I really like coding, so... LiveCode. I have several apps that I wrote for myself that I use daily, and edit almost as often :-). (A HyperCard descendant.)
I noticed this too. I quickly skimmed a rewritten email and it was totally wooden. It's the one where they ask the AI to reword their rant that includes tons of all-caps words.

The output is almost worse, dripping in a passive aggressive tone.
An extra click that would stop the animation immediately might be helpful.

It's bad branding because they can't use the "AI" abbreviation. It's too commonly used to be appropriated by Apple. Honestly calling it "Apple Intelligence" just feels a little lazy.

I do like the idea of an email though where you can send stuff for the future.

I use 1Password daily but missed anything before this version switch-up I guess.
I've got nothing but positive things to say.
Plenty of people were skeptical of the iPhone when it came out. On launch, it was very very expensive, carrier locked, and relatively lacking in features compared to other phones. The app store was not in place. You had the Apple apps and mobile safari which was very limited in those days -- and that was it.

The revolution that was the iPhone required two pieces, both of which needed each other and only one of which was present at launch: touchscreen UI, and the app store. Those two were not fully in place until after 2008. Even then, it took some time. I think of that ~2006-2011 period as the era of BlackBerry. Of course, the vision was clear by 2010 or so. iPhone 4S/iPhone 5 was really when the rocket ship went parabolic.
Pointless if it doesnt have cross platform. Apple devices already basically have a password manager, the main reason more people don't use it it is because it doesnt also work on android or windows, not because it's not a standalone app called Passwords.
Ha ha. Let’s see if it just. Works.
Will it though? It's not like it's new behavior from them.
iOS 18 Preview
There should be very strict counter penalties for false claims in my opinion. I once received a dmca from a much larger (foreign) company than us. Result was complete loss of revenue for one month. We survived, but it felt like a mafia action. Unfair and powerless.
Yeah, sure bud. This is going to be the one - yes every other headset has failed, but that's because Sony and HTC and Microsoft and Acer and HP and Samsung and Valve and Nreal and Meta weren't Apple, and just lack the taste and common-sense to make the technology work. This time, Apple will win with their second-mover advantage and definitely won't fall victim to the pattern of releasing and discontinuing niche products like Time Machine, Airport and Xserve. Vision Pro, this will be their flagship. Someday.

> Have you not been following Apple for the last…45+ years?

Not so blindly that I would lose sight of the greater market. There is a pretty clear line in the sand between "high-demand compute hardware" and "shit that is far too expensive that nobody wants". An iPad that you wear on your face falls into the latter category, in case you couldn't tell.
1Password is both still around and still the benchmark, much as that pains me to say given how much of a UX regression 1P8 was.
That's apple's entire MO, yes

Here's [1] our practice coding problem. It's quite similar to the one we use on our interview, and not too far from the one Triplebyte used in the past (ours is tuned to be slightly harder at the beginning and slightly easier at the end). The vast majority of candidates, even with some reasonable pre-filtering, do not get past the first step. A very non-trivial number would not even get that far.

Don’t know the specifics about this particular case

However, this is a typical dichotomy in academic/research settings

The interplay between the practical (like “calculate” or “build”); and searching for meaning (like coming up with a new model for some phenomenon)

My impression is that the majority in a particular field, usually focus on the practical, applying known “tried and true” models to novel things

And then, there are only a few who are successful at convincing others of using their models

There are a lot of people who are technically capable of creating new models. But it is incredibly difficult to make them go mainstream
