It’s absolutely mind boggling that this author tries to fundamentally equate “weird nerds” as autistic, only to then present an example of a weird nerd who has never been documented as autistic.
I don't trust people because they guess at everything, like you did here.
Apple is touting the privacy focus of their AI work, and going out to ChatGPT breaks that. I would be reluctant to use any of their new AI features if it weren't for that prompt breaking the flow and making it clear when they are getting results from ChatGPT.
I do get this. I don't know why you'd assume I don't.

And the sentiment behind your comment seems very reasonable, reading past its non-sequitur tone.
If only Apple was big enough to fight the patent trolls...
It changes nothing about the impressiveness (or lack thereof) of the feature.

Detecting an appointment from an email doesn't even require AI.

You're also over-indexing on the fact that some processing will be done on device. The rest will go to Apple's servers just the same as Google. And you will never know how much goes or doesn't.
I know, right?

The most painful part was that those files were still "there" for 30 days before deletion. (They occupied space) but the customer support was exceptionnally unhelpful and confirmed that I could not access, restore, or backup these files in any way, shape or form (even though I'd have been willing to pay for it).

So... yes. I've got those 2TB and 5TB drives now. (Working on a documentary, so I have two copies of everything in separate locations)

I'm not having this happen again
Yes. For the past 20 years, I’d say
Or more specifically, Doom implemented in Tetris.
The name of the game is Peer Review, which is a fundamental pillar of science. Your blog or self-published papers are not peer reviewed.

If you found and can sustain an open access journal with a reputable peer review process, you can do a lot of business. If you're not get subverted by big houses, of course.
It's patently that Apple isn't smart enough to make their own AI
This was incredibly well written and the project itself was super cool to see come together. I worked on building UAV's in University but seeing the unique challenges with dealing with water from a signals perspective was really intriguing.

Good luck with any future cases and can't wait to see what upgrades you make!
The manga has a lot of side notes and chapters dedicated to just explaining the lore.

There's also a book by the author entitled Delicious in Dungeon World Guide: The Adventurer's Bible Complete Edition with even more content.

The author really did her homework regarding worldbuilding.
I wonder if Apple ever approached Google about using Gemini as the flagship integration. I say that because during the keynote I kept thinking to myself, this could be the moment that Google realises it needs to stick to what it knows best - Search - and all they have to do is sit back and watch the hype fade away.

But that’s in a perfect world.

Even to this day, post ChatGPT, I still can’t imagine how I would ever use this AI stuff in a way that really makes me want to use it. Maybe I am too simple of a mind?

Maybe the problem is in the way that it is presented. Too much all at once, with too many areas of where and how it can be used. Rewriting emails or changing invitations to be “poems” instead of text is exactly the type of cringe that companies want to push but it’s really just smoke and mirrors.

Companies telling you to use features that you wouldn’t otherwise need. If you look at the email that Apple rewrote in the keynote - the rewritten version was immediately distinguishable as robotic AI slop.
This is a perfect example of when deliberately taking on technical debt is the smart thing to do. You build the feature the "fast way", deliberately incurring technical debt to get faster feedback on the feature. If the feature doesn't work out, you can remove it quickly. If it does work out, then you can be confident that building it the "right way" is now worth the investment.

Technical debt is just like regular financial debt in that it can be a powerful tool when leveraged correctly.
> AI is supposed to get rid of the chores, now it leaves us with the chores and take the creative part away. I don't need such AI.

You know I hadn't considered that and I think that's very insightful. Thank you
> not in USA

If you’re somewhere where contracts have meaning, it’s a true statement.
Then why would you try to get rid of it. Fear is a tool that protects us from dangerous situations. If something is actually dangerous, then it would be rational to be afraid of it. It doesn't make any sense whatsoever to desensitize yourself to cobras unless you're literally a herpetologist or snake handler, for example.
Brazil had government incentives for fomenting the national industry as well as high taxation to deter imports.

Nowadays only the high taxes remain (effectively a 100% tax), the current government is trying to implement new incentives to rebuild the national industry though.

Also, I feel Mexico by being under strong influence of the US has been kind of sabotaged economically, while Brazil together with neighboring countries tried to develop a local market (MercoSul).
Have seen a few stores and public places installing speakers pushing out a high pitch tone to irritate youth so they won't hang out where they aren't wanted. Was it some trial run on this tech maybe? :-)

It's designed to be just outside of hearing for adults so only kids and youth can hear it. Did a simple test with our daughter and she can hear quite a bit higher frequencies than we can so apparently it's a thing. Except I can hear higher frequencies than my wife so not very useful I guess.
Absolutely fantastic read. The author got nerd-sniped HARD by these missing-person cases and his approach and accomplishments are inspiring, to say the least. Very well done!
The only use case for iPhone Mirroring I can think of is online shopping, when I'm trying to finalize transaction on my Mac, but then realize that I have to login to my banking app to confirm payment, and my iPhone is in another room... I guess you can call that "an emergency".

And of course, there are all those MFA apps which I need for work...
You just rejected them!
Don't look for payouts in bug bounties. It's not a fair deal and you will always be taken advantage of.
I think Go is much smaller than Python though; the standard library is tiny in comparison.

Just looking at this list of modules:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/index.html

I reckon I've used at least once probably 50% of the list, but that's over 12 years of using Python, and I'd only consider myself fluent with a very small number of the total.
Most of us also aren't running Netflix, or anything of the sort. All the big companies that heavily use Linux at scale also employ tons of Linux kernel engineers.
Not OP, but I have a Google Apps Script running on daily schedule which extracts every email older than 30 days as .eml file, renames it as YYYY MM DD HH MM SS SUBJECT.eml, saves in a Google Drive Folder with YYYY as subfolder. Drive itself is synced instantly with my hard drive, and I backup that drive occasionally (like around 3 to 5 weeks) to another local & rclone to Dropbox.

30 days so that I can have enough time to delete it. Trash & Spam is excluded, and every successful downloaded email is labeled to prevent it getting downloaded again in next run.

Originally 4 years ago when I started this script, it was timing out because of about 15 years of emails. I ran it for 6 minutes only, every hour. Now once it caught up, it needs only few seconds, and there are only like 5 to 20 emails caught in its daily net.
I would love it if I could have different natural scrolling settings for mouse and trackpad, but that's apparently too much to ask for despite it being supported by every other os.
This is very cool and fun to play.

Yeah, it's hard to believe that VSCode and Windows are products from the same company. Very different vibes.

AI is skipping software integrations the same way cell phone towers (and Starlink) skipped phone wire deployment.
The world has never cared about what you want. Your life has always revolved around the world. Don't like it, you vs the world. Beat it if you can.
And they’re parasitic how exactly? Even if they do collect every single of my prompts the benefit of chatGPT outweighs my data being sold
Also in large “Home improvement” stores forget about asking for something non-standard of for any unintended application. For example if you tell an employee that you need “something to hold this part here but cannot be a screw because the back is hidden” they will look at you as if you were speaking in mandalorian.
Most large auto parts stores are the same.
This is a great resource. Used it to research writing in the Scots language in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
According to wikipedia, this From Steampunk to Solarpunk (2008) post is when the term was coined. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solarpunk#Background

I also really dig hopepunk (2017), the opposite of grimdark. And shout out to A Half Built Garden, (2022) a sci-fi first-encounter book described as solarpunk, hopepunk, and (coining the term) diaperpunk. Wikipedia:

> The various "-punk" subgenres are connected by the idea of social disruption. Hopepunk in speculative fiction explores resistance, rebellion, and resilience as counters to apathy and cynicism.

> it sounds like the details will be public by design, since that’s key to the promise they are making here.

Remember when Apple "promised" to release APFS documentation? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
TBF I was too harsh in my original comment. I did use ChatGPT to automate away the chore part of the coding (boiler plate for example). But I have a gut feeling that in maybe 5-10 years this is going to replace some junior programmer's job.

My job can be largely "AIed" away if such AI gets better and the company feeds internal code to it.
I find that I have to repeat myself. You seem to be using a kind of reasoning that I don't think is very productive. Are you aware of this?

I could spend some time explaining where I think you go off the rails, but I'm afraid you prefer trolling over learning. Please let me know if I'm mistaken, and I'd be happy to continue the conversation.
It's a clear delineation between "My data is on my device or within Apple's ecosystem" and "My data is now leaving Apple and going to a 3rd party"
I get value from LLMs just about every day, mostly through the Copilot plugin for VSCode.

Yesterday, for example, I had some ts React class-based components I'd written which I wanted to convert to functional components. Select all, "convert these class components to functional". Done. Took a couple minutes to do this to a handful of components. A little manual cleanup after. This would have taken a lot longer manually.
Copenhagen is somehow more persuasive.

Bohm's implicate and explicate order is an interesting relevant theory.
Factbox-Here's everything Apple announced at WWDC
> they made their approval aka notarization an explicit requirement for non-App Store apps

I mean, okay, but that's just another thing that seems odd. I don't know why anyone is calling it a "third party" app store in that case.
Been thinking... Why is AI even needed for a thing like this? Aren't there assistive tech API's for screen readers for people who are blind, that could be used to scrape all text from all windows, without resorting to OCR? Or maybe Electron apps break all of that...
Well, if contracts have meaning, I will not use AI. But AppStore for example requires privacy policy, that one AI wrote.
Ohhhh yes. That's why I was so hyped about Google Duplex or duo?! Never heard of it again....
> I have it set to the highest setting to reduce accidentally triggering it. It's hard to trigger on purpose and still triggers too much accidentally.

Strange, when I had a Vision Pro I could not trigger the Control Center for the life of me. I felt like a mad man rolling my eyes around the top of my skull trying to get the dang thing to pop up so I could get out of Mount Hood and back to reality.
If we can't trust independent audits of code and hardware, what can we trust?
I agree with this a lot.

I miss 1Password Mini in particular still (and no, Quick Access is not a replacement).
Imagine Apple being able to search for bad things on your phone using AI at the behest of some state or local government request
> Do you know that my family doctor ONLY take calls?

And despite that it's still your family doctor.

I fully agree with your vision. It's obvious once laid out in words and it was a very insightful comment. But the incentives are not there for other industries to automate themselves.
Funny enough, en passant is the only capture that takes a piece not in the destination square.
Yup. Just try it!
It would be good if they add support for third-party browsers. Bitwarden (or other apps) can feel clunky sometimes compared to Keychain / Passwords.
VIX, a measure of S&P 500 implied volatility, is pretty low at 13, so the options market does not anticipate a high probability of a stock market crash, which of course does not rule it out.

It should not require you to even install one of five; if you do not want to install a browser at all (or if you wish to install one other than those five, possibly some time in future) then it should not be required.

Although, I think it would be better to just not install any browser by default and not even ask; you can install it yourself later if you wish to do so, and can install any one you want (or more than one, if you wish) instead of having to pick one from the provided list.
Alternatively add yourself to https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=whoishiring or add your own contact details to the profile (the 'about' section).
I agree. It's just some rant. Whatever, better bury it under the other comments...
I think they also announced the possibility to integrate Siri with other AI platforms than ChatGPT so this prompt would be especially useful to make clear to the user which of these AIs Siri wants to use.
Note that this is announced as coming in beta this fall, which means they are currently well pre-beta. I would curb my expectations about how well it will work.
Why should apple be in control of what individual apps do with your location data? You explicitly grant the app access to your data, and agreed to the terms.

The difference between that and this is extremely clear is it not?
There are VERY few things that can keep your information safe if a TLA wants it. You need to go full Edward Snowden with phones in faraday cages and typing passwords under a sheet -levels of paranoia to be fully safe.

Drow "nation state is after me" from the threat model and you'll be a lot happier.

Yes I understand the argument, but you're still not posting actual numbers for any specific materials required by these particular technologies. I could just as well mention the immense materials required for grid-scale batteries, but that doesn't mean they're necessarily infeasible; it all depends on which materials we use.

Before you say "industrial chemistry is different" I'll note that the MIT tech is actually quite similar to a battery. Aside from the CO2 it doesn't have a flow of chemicals that turn into waste; I've seen proposals like that too and this is different.

The Princeton method is new in the lab but the MIT project started a company that has been working on commercializing for five years now. So far they've won an XPrize, gotten investment from the Gates fund, and started collaborating with an aluminum company.

So long "Open" AI, this screams more push to turn a profit. Maybe had they hired leaders in the scientific fields it would read differently, but a cash flow perp and a top tier product owner? (tho instagram? woof don't count that as a win except a win for greed).
Did I miss the explanation of how they trained their image generation models? It's brave of a company serving creative professionals to generate creative works with AI. I'm a fan of using generative AI, but I would have expected them to at least say a little about what they trained on to make their diffusion models capable of generating these images.

Other than that, using an LLM to handle cross-app functionality is music to my ears. That said, it's similar to what was originally promised with Siri etc. initially. I do believe this technology can do it good enough to be actually useful though.
If your complaint is that she was a fine CFO but a terrible CEO then i can hardly see her going back to a CFO role as failing upwards.
> If I was hit by a car tomorrow, I know a huge chunk of my life is there for people to just pick up.

My wife and I have talked a bit about this recently but haven't implemented anything yet. (I use 1Password, and she doesn't have access other than a shared vault, and vice-versa with iCloud passwords.)

One thing that gives me a bit of hesitation is from a security standpoint - if we have access to each other's accounts and one of us falls victim to, for instance, a password-manager-level phishing scheme, the fallout from both of us having to recover from that at the same time is dramatically more of an inconvenience than if only one of us is affected.

Happy to hear from anyone else who's thought about this and any approaches they may have been taken - there doesn't seem to be much discussion about it online.
This ramping up AI war will leave no prisoners. I am not an Apple customer in any way, I am in Google's ecosystem, but I feel that I need to make an exit, at least some essentials, preferably this year.

My e-mail, my documents, my photos, my browsing, my movement. The first step for me was setting up Syncthing and it was much smoother than I initially thought. Many steps to go.
> Copenhagen proponents never seem to have to defend their stance, and you're telling me they don't have to because they're the majority.

That is correct. Physics inherits that from culture, which runs on-top of reality, and that is how reality works.

Personally, I agree with you, but reality is consensus based. Deal with it (develop a better story, or meme - "Shut up and calculate" seems effective despite it being in no way whatsoever a proof of anything...try and come up with something catchy like that).
You mismanage your company to signal virtue and you're proud of it? Crazy

GasBuddy is an optional app, right? Apple is very up front about what apps are going to get access to things like location, with user prompts to allow/deny. Meaning you are opting in to a lack of privacy, which is very expected behavior?

The default Apple apps (maps, messaging, safari) are solid from a privacy perspective, and I don't think you can say the same about the default apps on competitors phones.
That would be an example of the song being specified in the DNA.
I think that's a pretty inaccurate view of the situation. Having to go back to the office is still having to go back to the office. In your analogy, you'd still be a serf to your corporation regardless of public transportation. At the end of the day, their bosses still forced them to go back to the office.
I need to investigate further because I haven't seen what feels like strong movement or progress, but Apple does have some WebXR talks at WWDC, to try to bolster their Vision Pro. This would be a cool place to see Apple push bounds & advance things, in a meaningful way, IMHO.
I don't get this at all, how does integrating siri with a llm mean you get an interpreter and allowing development?
Ok, really misunderstood that headline. I was expecting something about Microsoft shipping a Grafana competitor with 7x5 matrix fonts and 7 colors.
having built autonomous ROVs in college, i'm absolutely astonished at what this person accomplished essentially on their own. they are so finicky and piloting them is a whole skill set on its own.

and, what perseverance; it really did read like a detective story and what a good job distilling the cases down to their basics.

what a cool read and an absolute triumph of an accomplishment.
They'll probably add an option to disable that prompt at some point. I'm glad it is the default behavior, though.
Heard of Idempotency but unsure what it is?
Aren’t those things the point of the app?
I think it's frowned upon in many circles because most of the work you do for a living cannot be released to the public, so there's an expectation that you will be cranking out work for free on the side just to build a portfolio, which is not inclusive for say.. a minority mother of three, who doesn't have the time, and it only favors young affluent white and Asian males with no dependents.
I encountered this kind of inconsistency with my Android phone, too (Samsung Galaxy S22). I think every time my alarm failed to go off it was because the phone had automatically updated its OS and restarted overnight, and background apps like the alarm wouldn't run until I entered my pin to finalize the phone's startup process.

I've usually used my $3-4 alarm clock for waking me up in the morning, and then my phone timer for naps.

Now that I just took a closer look, I was able to find a way to disable automatic updates on the phone. (I had to find and tap "Software update > System Update Preferences > Smart Update" in the Settings app.) But I like the alarm clock, so I'll probably keep using it anyway. Better that my phone isn't the first thing I interact with every day.

IIRC it's part of the sandbox apps run in, which, in turn, makes use of the hardware memory protection. To do JIT, you need to first write your dynamically generated code into the memory, and then execute it. The memory you obtain via e.g. malloc() doesn't allow execution, only reading and writing (this is controlled by permission flags, in the page table, on the memory pages your app is given by the kernel). To obtain memory that is both writable and executable, you call mmap() specifying corresponding flags. The kernel just refuses to allocate such memory for your app because it doesn't have necessary permissions, or "entitlements" in Apple speak.
I beg to differ.

Example that should be super trivial: try to setup a sync of photos taken on your Iphone to a laptop (Mac or Windows or Linux) without going through Apple's cloud or any other cloud?

With an Android phone and Windows laptop (for example) you simply install the Syncthing app on both and you're done.

My point is not "Apple is worse", instead I'm just trying to point out that Apple definitely seems eager to have their users push a lot of what they do through their cloud. I don't see why their AI will be any different, even if their marketing now claims that it will be "offline" or whatever.
