Spellcheck, voice control, voice-to-text, autocomplete and next-word-prediction are all some AI features that are already in use. Voice-to-text could certainly be much better if something like whisper was integrated. I pretty much never actually listen to voicemails, so having a reliable transcription there would be great.

I'd also love to be able to give commands that traverse multiple apps (e.g. take my google sheet and venmo request everyone the specified amount). Most likely this would happen by teaching an AI tool use and having apps expose an API.

I'd love to be able to give voice commands for certain things (e.g. flipping through recipes when my hands are wet) and have the phone be able to do the actual thing I want.

I actually think phones are a much better place for AI since they're so difficult to type on that voice could provide a higher-bandwidth interface.

Sounds great. But corporations will find a way to fuck over their users for inverstors' gains in no time.
I fully agree, this thread is about two possible futures for getting that support in the standard: Safe C++ and profiles.
They could have played with incentives and monetary returns on used devices, same we do with deposits for empty cans or bottles and let the manufactures deal with all the waste/recycling. These disposable devices are clearly an environment problem. Where I am, NY, I've seen thrown all over the place and at first I had no idea what they were. I picked up one thinking it was some kind of device someone lost. I did the right thing and put it in a trash can but then recycling thoughts came to mind. I'm all in for punishing the companies that manufacture these, large fines are needed from discouraging them creating future problems like these.
Sadly I found a study at https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3222987/ saying that many polypropylene polyethylene products release estrogenic chemicals (IDK if it's the same as phthalate) likely from additives, including when bent/deformed. And polycarbonates are infamously made of polymerized BPA and similar chemicals (usually endocrine disruptors).

> Honestly, I think the web platform could use a standard API for defining shortcuts, with browsers providing a UI to manage or disable them. Maybe I'm still over-engineering here.

I think this is really cool and would also allow some interesting features...

- Easier using random input devices. Game engines like Unity with their newest input manager abstracts everything away. Bind inputs not only to standard navigation actions but also app-defined shortcuts.

- Custom UI provided by the browser based on available shortcuts. PCs could get a quick actions bar and phones could have a shortcut drop-down menu exposing functionality.

- If there is an API for enabling/disabling shortcuts the browser can provide context-sensitive shortcut suggestions like some of the profession creation tools like Fusion360 [iirc] where available shortcuts are shown in the status bar.
My take is that those industries are also going to be very slow to adopt any AI tools, especially these, and for good reasons. We are looking at integrating LLM into our products, but we have customers that told us they can't use any of those, straightforward.
The attack vectors are either some type of credential or account compromise. Generally, these attacks fall under the cross-site scripting (XSS) umbrella. The browser exposes certain things to the JS context based on the origin. E.g. if you log in to facebook.com, facebook.com might set an authentication cookie that can be accessed in the JS context. Additionally, all outbound requests to facebook.com will include this authentication cookie. So, if you can execute JS in the context of facebook.com, you could steal this cookie or have the browser perform malicious actions that get implicitly authenticated.
Thanks. That’s clearer!

Ok my next comeback - people are treating AI tools like a musical instrument.

It’s like picking up a guitar for the first time, twanging a few strings and saying ‘Nah, this sounds shit’. Guitars are useless. I’d never pay for a guitar.

Even chatGPT has a learning curve. I save myself hours or days per day using it for all sorts of things. Anyone who says they can’t find a use for AI is just lazy and hasn’t tried hard.
>Sucks to give people a chance and then be shown why we were wrong.

Is this just clumsy wording or a dog whistle for how you think society ought to be structured?

Because if the latter I take serious issue with the implied assumptions about the relationship between the government and the people.

Yeah, smoking is bad and vaping is only a little better but it's a pretty mild problem as far as societal ills go, adults are adults and you don't get to screw everyone because of a few bad actors.
I'm cautiously optimistic, but still concerned about the long term.

* I just don't see how taking $100 million can be good for users in the long run. By far the most likely outcomes are bloat or enshittification.

* bitwarden does not appear to be very forkable, ie it's a complex system written in C#. The existence of Vaultwarden helps a lot with this, but what about the client apps? Forkability is the second most important protection against user-hostile action, behind being open source in the first place.

I hope it works out. I'm a recent adopter of bitwarden, and so far the UX has blown keepass out of the water.
What? I’m pretty sure people are talking about archive.is and not archive.org here.
I'm using an iPhone 12 mini, and it's bigger than I'd ideally like.
The disengagement rate is calculated when a human test driver is in the vehicle and takes over driving. It's a specific term from autonomous vehicle testing. If a self-driving vehicle has no human drivers in it and it does not know how to drive, it simply pulls over if possible and stops. That's not among the definition of disengagement.

This has happened multiple times in San Francisco. You can find videos of driverless Waymo cars getting stuck. You can also find a hilarious instance where a stuck Waymo was driven by the emergency personnel after it became stuck.
it's sociology- a field which frequently does not provide evidence for its claims.
Yeah but I tried a Linux laptop for a week and just couldn’t make it work, Apple products are the best.
> 95% of everyday AI needs

This assumes that the capabilities and use cases are unchanged. Yes, for the AI features available today, I suppose ChatGPT can do much of it -- I wouldn't know because it's not interesting or useful to me, so I don't use it.

But: If I'm deciding whether AI features are important to me in making a decision to spend money on a future phone, it's those future AI features that I will be assessing.

95% of my everyday needs for an external intelligence (besides my own) are covered by e-mail, text, and phone calls with other humans, with a trivial portion covered by nascent AI features. As this changes, and AI gets more capable of replacing human intelligence in these interactions (TBD if this happens in the next smartphone generation, or the next human generation, or further in the future), then I will /very much/ care that the electronic device that I use most often day-to-day has access to these capabilities, and will very much use access to those capabilities as part of deciding where to spend my money.
Sure, I said “aliasing” to mean “these rules do not prevent memory unsafety due to misusing aliased pointers.”

I hesitate to answer your question, but my impression is the answer is that they’re just not shooting for 100% safety, and so it’s acceptable to miss this kind of case.

The UK isn't a 'free country' in the way American's use the term. It took me a few years of living in America to understand the nuance. I think the 'freedoms' Americans have raises it's own problems for society (eg guns) and there isn't a right or wrong, just different.

The joke I always like to make is that in the US everything is legal unless the government legislates to say you can't, in Europe everything is illegal unless the government legislates to say you can. :D
> I did the right thing and put it in a trash can but then recycling thoughts came to mind.

Is it the right thing to do? AFAIK you're not supposed to put lithium batteries in general waste because if they get damaged in processing they can start a fire, especially if they have a lingering amount of charge in them, which empty disposable vapes probably do.

How do I disable that?

I'm having a horrifying realization that all of my pictures are "fake" in the sense that they don't match what I saw/experienced. Maybe it's time to get back into Polaroids.
Maybe it's just me, but I'd prefer to spend less of my life on my phone in general. Seems like first-party integration of AI features is just a ploy to persuade me to use it more, since the appeal of novel apps or software features has long since died out.

I am a huge Amiga fan, but the Amiga was going nowhere and was never going to win. The OS is just as terrible as classic Windows and MacOS from a reliability standpoint; yes not using a message pump for timeslicing was a really nice property but in most ways the design was _worse_ in terms of any hope of eventually getting memory protection in place.

I love the Amiga - it represented a unique point in time that coalesced a lot of interesting technologies and people together trying to do something interesting - but it was as far from a technology that had long term potential as you could get, pretty much in every way.
The comment said IEEE754 doubles can represent integers to 2^52. But I missed the double or assumed float. Floats cannot do that and it would be disastrous to assume so. For that matter, doubles also have some pretty big issues when you do operations on them (loss of precision), but as long as you are purely doing integer operations, it “should” be fine. A practical example with non-integers: 35 + -34.99
Vaultwarden is great, but it's only half the equation. If bitwarden does go user-hostile eventually, who's going to fork all the client apps and extensions?
I was wondering what would happen if either

1 The feds told American car makers that they would release the tarrifs if they didn't release an electric car under $xx,xxx (15k? 20k?) in the next x years, or if

2. they made the tarrifs naturally diminish over time (from 10k to 9k to 8k) to give American companies a runway but slowly pressure them to improve their offerings.

I'm far from a policy expert here. I just wish we could put some price pressure on them without entirely ceding the industry.
I could not care less about AI on my phone. I don't want to learn to use it nor do I want to give it free reign over my content. If I can disable it on any smartphone I own I will.

Of course, aside from checking email and calendar I don't do a lot of work from my phone.
Are the batteries any good? What do they have in them? 1100 mAh LiPo?

Yes -- in theory. You'd need to use our workflows feature to get that set up and chain a few tasks together to collect that information!

I've successfully have replaced batteries and displays in older iphones (mainly iphone 6). But with newer iphones opening the phone is more complex.

I've read online and heard from Apple Store representative that iPhone 12 (all models) has tendency to crack the screen when phone is opened for repair or battery replacement and in that case Apple Store would replace the hole phone (this is were multi day repair process).
So I would rather pay $90 to Apple that guarantees that I'll get a phone replacement in case when screen is broken during battery replacement. Without the phone I sill would be able to answer the cell calls from Apple Watch and with ipad over WiFi.

Serious question. I actually want to know.
I'm not sure this will actually end up changing much because of how they've carved out exceptions for refillable or rechargeable devices. I don't vape nicotine but I occasionally buy a disposable THC vape, and nearly every one of them is technically rechargeable despite the fact that the charge generally lasts the life of the cartridge and there's no use for it afterwards. I wouldn't be surprised if UK vape vendors simply make minor changes to be compliant without really changing the product.
You seriously assess "future AI features" when buying a phone? Have you heard the expression "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"? Also, what is the lifetime of a phone? How far in the future are these new features expected?
and/or the ad dollars will move into the decision layer and the AI will make different decisions / recommendations to your request, depending on who is bidding the most..

Imagine the most dystopian outcomes and you'll probably be closer than "well I don't have to see ads anymore!"
Vaping is significantly better.

The last small flagship (iPhone 13 mini) sold poorly, but it was much more expensive than the SE2. This was at the tail end of covid, but before faceid worked with masks, so the SE's touch id was a huge selling point.

Other than that and the camera, the only functional difference I can find are that the SE line is still missing the UWB antenna.

I'd happily upgrade to a newer small iPhone if they made one. As it is, it looks like the only option is repeatedly repairing my 13 mini (and dealing with the hilariously bad 5G battery drain forever) or downgrading to a newer SE3.

I know there are a lot of people in this boat. I predict they'll produce another small phone in a few years. It'll sell well due to pent up demand, and someone will be declared a genius for selling 100M's of extra phones that year.

Plastics recycling also kinda barely exists. Only 5% of plastic in the US is recycled, the whole thing was a greenwashing operation by oil companies to encourage additional consumption.

I've never vaped (/smoked/done drugs/etc I'm v boring) but can someone ELI5 why disposable vapes have been the preference?

Don't you just buy the capsules and put them into your regarchable vape? Or if you want to get exotic e liquid. I would assume that's much cheaper than buying a whole device each time much must cost more $$/££.

Yeah, it seems based on the advertising from the various AI vendors, they are showing its use by summarizing emails/phone call/etc. Things like being able to search text messages for info blah blah. The only one I've seen pushing online searches is Google, but that seems like duh! for them to be pushing. Circle something in an image and take me to a listing of that something for sale. Of course that's Google's direction.

I would say the problem there is the requirement to phone a human to change a record in their database.

If they had an app then an AI assistant should be able to tie things together. Where things seem to be going is apps provide an intent-based API wrapper plus UI widgets to interact with it. That way assistants can operate them too.

Who Says Another Google Is Coming?
I'm aware it can be done and have looked at the page on iFixit, and may end up doing just that. But as well as looking like a bit of a PITA to do it, I'm not particularly confident my phone will be good as new after I melt the glue and pry it open. My point is that it would be great if replacing the battery was as simple as clicking off (or even unscrewing) the case and taking it out, like it used to be. Granted, I probably couldn't take my phone swimming with me, but I think I could get over that.

Just because other countries started by brutally colonizing the natives does not mean we should let Israel continue doing it. A true solution requires some admission of guilt on their end for the past century of death and destruction and a path forward that creates a state that is not tied to Jewish identity. Much like other western nations, they will have to learn to deal with a diverse population by abandoning their previous culture and religion.
