I thought from the Apple keynote that Siri is getting a big update to be based on Apple Intelligence, not that this context stuff was getting hacked into the existing Siri model. They talked about new voice transcription features, the ability to correct yourself while talking, deep knowledge of your personal context, etc.

It sounds like a bigger update, where they’re applying gen AI models more broadly across tons of things (including I things like photo categorization), but I guess we’ll see.
This is probably how you would do entity extraction. Why would you rag on entity extraction?
Thank you for the insight (no sarcasm)

> You can eat a snack while your kids eat their meal

No, you can't, if you are not present at meal times. Kids don't eat when Dad gets home. Kids eat at normal times, and if Dad is eating three meals at the office, Kids eat without Dad. For several early years, they then go to bed shortly after eating, and so they do not see Dad at all that day. s/Dad/Mom/g or whatever, of course.

> Plenty of parents leave for work before breakfast and get home after dinner.

Absent parents are not parenting. Providing maybe, and that's important, but not parenting.

If the other parent is doing all the parenting work, it is almost certainly not happily so. And if the parenting work is done by hired help because both "parents" are working during all weekday hours of child wakefulness, then these people have made compromises that are not compatible with parenting.

Some families have no other choices and that is unfortunate. But for those of us who do, if we choose to become parents at all, we should try to do a good job of it.

> But the idea that a 30-minute commute to a cushy tech job office that provides 3 meals a day is somehow incompatible with family life is a bananas take IMO

The job providing meals is fine. The employee eating three meals a day at work for extended periods, is incompatible with maintaining active participation in a family life. Being present is a big part of it, and you can't phone it in.

Anecdotally, I've only ever seen three types of people who tried to consistently mix 12+ hour office work days and parenthood: people in bad marriages who were hiding from their family, selfishly-deluded wantrepreneur overachievers, and addicts. All hetero men obviously. Sometimes more than one trait in a single person, and leading to divorce in most cases, which I'll argue is not necessarily a bad thing since at least one partner didn't want to be present in the family anyway.
From the title, I honestly thought you were asking, “As a regular, sensible person, how do I put up with all these AI doomsayers?”

Our major ask, the one ask we simply could not go without was payment arrangements. They insisted that the entire year was due at once, and literally would not entertain discussions about quarterly payments. The point where he laughed at me was, "When you get this year's invoice, write a check for it, send it in, there's you're payment plan." That was when I just changed products. It was an intense 45 days but we launched about 2 weeks early.
This is so punk rock.
There are multiple different types of 'password' entries that can be stored in the Keychain. If you open a terminal and run `security -h`, you can see what I mean. Keychain Access.app is accessing the same database as this CLI tool.

I assume the Passwords section of System Settings is only pulling up a subset of these, but I haven't upgraded macOS on my personal laptop in a long time (I'm on 12.4), so can't verify easily.
What’s the goal?
An event that happens much too often to me:

My son is playing with other kids. I wander off. When I check back, all the kids are watching a screen. I say “what’s going on?” And some parent says “the kids were getting roudy, so I put on a show to calm them down”.
All the talk is sounding real nice, it’s when it comes out we will see how much context it can see and how accurate it knows what the user says. Gonna be fun few weeks of reviews.
Do you think Apple could develop an AI so powerful that it would allow me to uninstall Siri from my iPhone?
Tenstorrent Ascalon is their larger, 8-wide core, within an entire family of cores.

The second largest is Alastor, which is 6 wide and might be appropriate for laptops or even phones.

Before anyone gets too excited: Resin printing is a well known factor, and a hobby you can get into relatively cheaply. Relatively.

However, resin itself has many downsides when compared to FDM. To get the upside out of the way first: The resolution, printing speed and visual quality are dramatically better. However:

- Resin is weaker than filament deposition products. Even 'tough' resins are still weaker than e.g. PLA.

- FDM prints are usable as soon as they're outside the printer. Resin prints need to be washed, cured, and often painted. The print itself is faster, but the amount of time you spend is greater. Besides, FDM printers have gotten relatively fast.

- A resin-printing setup takes up a lot more physical space, which can't be reused without thorough decontamination.

- And perhaps most importantly, resin is allergenic and can be toxic. The more often you come into contact, the sooner you'll become allergic to it -- that's not so much a matter of if as when, unless you take hazmat protocols seriously. You need nitril gloves, overalls, decontamination protocols, respirators and exhaust fans, otherwise you're begging for trouble.

PLA, by contrast, can be relatively safely printed in your living room with no safety equipment at all. Even engineering plastics are more accessible; polycarbonate, for instance. (...be careful with ABS, and scared of nylon.)
So he's memoized then.
The Lungfish survives prolonged droughts where its freshwater habitat dries up. It has evolved the ability to breath fresh air, secrete a mucous membrane to form a protective cocoon that helps it retain moitsture, and its fins are heavily modified to aid with land based locomotion. Lungfish are the closest relatives to tetrapods who likely evolved under similar conditions.

I’m not quite understanding: you’re saying you deploy your site one way, then crawl it, then redeploy it via the zipfile you created? And why is SSR relevant to the discussion?
For the majority of the keynote they explicitly avoided the word AI instead substituting the word Intelligence, then Apple Intelligence, and then towards the end they said AI and ChatGPT once or twice.

I think they saw the response to all the AI shoveling and Microsoft Recall and executed a fantastic strategy to reposition themselves in industry discussions. I still have tons of reservations about privacy and what this will all look like in a few years, but you really have to take your hat off to them. WWDC has been awesome and it makes me excited to develop for their platform in a way I haven't felt in a very, very, long time.
Significantly. I can't talk raw terms, but we were able to buy our way out at significant savings.

Interesting twist.

Reminded me a bit of the Quantum Tic Tac Toe[1] game that I stumbled over some time ago.

[1]: https://quantumtictactoe.com/play/
Why an AI? Just for the fun of implementing it (totally valid, just curious)? Given the probabilities of the outcomes couldn't you just "solve" for the best way to play it based on expected value?

If there are 65% and 50% to complete a row in one direction, and a 35% and 20% in another direction, you don't really need AI to tell you which one would be more advantageous to go after?

In my prewar non-car-centric city, kids still walk to school. They don't play outside like previous generations. You'll see the Christmas bikes for a few weeks when it's warm enough in late spring then nothing all summer long.
Seems crazy to me that they would do this over and over. Who's allowing projects to be green lit only to be killed after you've dumped a whole bunch of money into it.

I understand geopolitics can change things as Israel is in the hot seat right now, but doing it regularly seems wasteful.
In a way different than they are now? Or do you mean literally put troops on the ground there to protect an offshore branch of a US multinational corporation?

> advances of AI in the past years can imagine a not-too-distant future (likely less than 10 years) where literally everything we are doing currently will be obsolete

Based on that you really understand what is current AI is all about no more than a bbc journalist.

So don’t worry about your worries, there are far more elephants in the room than this one.
These two tweets stand out for me:

> Ok there are probably half a dozen more technical details in the blog post. It’s a very thoughtful design. Indeed, if you gave an excellent team a huge pile of money and told them to build the best “private” cloud in the world, it would probably look like this.

and

> And of course, keep in mind that super-spies aren’t your biggest adversary. For many people your biggest adversary is the company who sold you your device/software. This PCC system represents a real commitment by Apple not to “peek” at your data. That’s a big deal.

I'd prefer things stay on the device but at least this is a big commitment in the right direction - or in the wrong direction but done better than their competitors, I'm not sure which.
Best anime of the last 5 years? Really? It seemed incredibly drawn out to me. Every character who was bad turned out to secretly be good. Every character who was good also was secretly bad in some way. It was incredibly predictable and drew out far too long.
Maybe, maybe not. I would like to purchase one of those servers and put it in my rack, so I can monitor all network traffic. Is that an option?
Some chunk of the problem comes from companies trying to avoid spending money on dedicated+good servers, and choosing business models that are hostile to the idea of players banding together to subsidize their own little institutions.
The more common use case will be when you're locked out of "your" apple id.

I replied to this not knowing exactly where the goalposts are.

Indeed, in C++, our a + b expression is statically analyzed to be working with specific types; the declared types of a and b. When that code is compiled, it will work with no other types.

However, if we anticipate that kind of extension, we can have a be a reference to some numeric_base class where operator + is a virtual function.

With some help from a bit of platform specific coding, we can have dynamically loaded modules which can provide new classes derived from numeric_base that ca be passed to existing code in the program which uses + on numeric_base.

The struggle against spam has led to a situation where large companies hold significant control, ostensibly to prevent spam. Yet, despite these measures, the spam issue persists, and the complexity of hosting one's own email server has increased substantially.

The aid is tracked from the Israeli perspective here: https://govextra.gov.il/cogat/humanitarian-efforts/home/

This is a more recent news story from Israel:

https://www.ynetnews.com/article/r1itpzvrc

"The lie behind claims Israel is 'starving Gaza': UN data on Israeli aid to strip is unreliable"

Israeli perspective for sure.

Another by the way is there are active cases against the Israel government before the Israeli Supereme court on this matter.

Yet another by the way is that it's worth mentioning Egypt refused to let aid through the Rafah border crossing once Israel took the Palestinian side of it just because it refused to deal with Israel on this matter.
Microsoft is trying and I feel they are in a much stronger position than Google. The same advantage that Apple has for personal docs and images Microsoft has across business content. Seamless AI integration across teams and outlook and sharepoint and other office products offer huge platform benefits.
And yet, the people with whom my values most diverge are other white people like myself who have been in the US for many generations. It's a cop out to blame this all on the brown people crossing the border.
> The various "-punk" subgenres are connected by the idea of social disruption.

Interesting. I heard the other opinion that all "punk" are connected that they're all dystopia, but in different flavors. This is specifically an argument against this depiction of solarpunk and that hopepunk is inherently incoherent.
What makes you think you'll get that model?

Edit: I see they're committing to publishing the OS images running on their inference servers (https://security.apple.com/blog/private-cloud-compute/). Would be cool if that allowed people to run their own.
Wonderful product design and scope! Great niche.
It is hilarious and ironic to read this title, after hearing so many times how C#/F# and .NET (released under MIT, including most of the tooling bits) are not "truly open-source and free".

Makes me feel ever so slightly vindicated.

Oh, and .NET comes as "full package" - you don't need to pay for extra performance features existing or future, or read through license text if you want to use AOT capability for AWS Lambdas.
If you're doing this DIY, for the email side there are transactional email services made for this (SendGrid, Mandrill, PostMark, etc.). For texting there is Twilio, SignalWire, etc. For status pages there's, well, StatusPage. I think AWS probably has similar services to most of those too.

For in-app messages, shouldn't the content of the notifications be separate from the code itself? The code should be able to pull the latest notifications from some dynamic data store (be it a database, KV, redis, or whatever), just as a basic JSON or whatever. You shouldn't have to deploy any new code for that.

Apparently there's a SaaS called Courier.com that can do all this in one integrated system, but I've never used them.
Aren't all large companies prone to this? google has killed projects. apple has killed projects. (they've all killed products too)
That perfectly describes how I feel about all of this.

I'm sure that there will be lots of genuinely useful things that come out of this AI explosion, but can't help but be a bit saddened by what we're losing along the way.

Of course I can choose not to use all of these tools and choose to spend time with folks of a similar mindset. But in the working world it is going to be increasingly impossible to avoid entirely.

Trivial point: At least Friedman correctly talks about "attenders" at a party and not "attendees."

(An "attendee" is someone being attended, e.g., King Charles is attended by his attendants — they are the attenders, he is the attendee.)

> In my opinion, OpenAI is building a platform business [1]. OpenAI is primarily an innovation platform. It provides tools, models, and APIs that enable developers and businesses to create new applications and services, fostering a wide ecosystem of innovation where OpenAI’s technology is the beating heart, driving high-margin revenue.

This could have been a description of Facebook circa 2010, for a brief moment, everyone was happy with the arrangement.

Inevitably, the platform will start competing with the developers who "innovate" on top of it in order to gain additional revenue; see 2024 Facebook which is no longer a platform by most measures, or the many apps that got Sherlocked by Apple. The countdown clock has started ticking for OpenAI-wrapper products/startups, starting with the ones with the most revenue and/or utility.
I wonder how they will do this in china?

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Apple-and-Imagination-strike-G...

Following the loss of Apple, easily its biggest client, Imagination was bought out by a Chinese-based investment group. Apple subsequently released its first in-house designed mobile GPU as part of the A11 Bionic SoC that powered the iPhone X.. The new “multi-year license agreement” gives Apple official access to much wider range of Imagination’s mobile GPU IP as well as its AI technologies. The A11 Bionic also included the first neural processing engine in an iPhone

Apple described Imagination’s characterizations as misleading while hiring Imagination employees to work for Apple’s GPU team in the same community.
I've read enough things that suggest a "blockade" is much more likely than an "invasion" that I can't really make sense of this article. Here's an example I find persuasive: https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/content-series/atlantic-coun...

I don't see how this "hellscape" would be useful against a non-kinetic blockade. It would seem to involve the US pre-emptively declaring war on China, which seems likely to lead to a nuclear war we don't want. Is the described approach actually effective against something the Chinese will portray as an "quarantine"?

Or have I been misled, and a full scale sneak invasion across the strait is what we should expect?
I think the mentality is different. Our great grandparents did their best to make sure the kids spoke great English and tried to get them to become American as possible. Today we encourage the kids to speak their mother tongue. Sure it's great for job prospects and to keep it's not about what language they speak as much as the mentality about becoming an American and leaving the home country behind.
