This is a way of attributing where the comment is coming from, which is better than responding with what the AI says and not attributing it. I would support a guideline that discourages posting the output from AI systems, but ultimately the

Agreed. It would be extremely strange if he were even in the running, let alone picked.

Look outside the HackerNews/Silicon Valley bubble: Apple is doing very well. Consumers broadly don't care whether their phone has AI, as long as it has the ChatGPT/etc apps. iMessage and FaceTime have a stranglehold on, uh, e

IMO: Cook is going to announce his retirement by the end of Q1, they've already selected a CEO (probably Ternus), the incoming CEO wants leadership change, and some of these departures are because its better that this purge happens bef

One of the things I dislike about the Youtube app on Apple TV is how it appears to maintain an entirely separate list of recommended videos, specific to the kinds of videos I tend to watch on TV, versus the phone and desktop (which might th

There isn't necessarily rationality behind venture deals; its just a numbers game combined with the rising tide of the sector. These firms are not Berkshire. If the tide stops rising, some of the companies they invested in might actual

Slightly related but unpopular opinion I have: I think software, broadly, today is the highest quality its ever been. People love to hate on some specific issues concerning how the Windows file explorer takes 900ms to open instead of 150ms,

I rotate models frequently enough that I doubt my personal access patterns are so model specific that they would unfairly advantage one model over another; so ultimately I think all you're saying is that Claude might be easier to use w

I've played around with Gemini 3 Pro in Cursor, and honestly: I find it to be significantly worse than Sonnet 4.5. I've also had some problems that only Claude Code has been able to really solve; Sonnet 4.5 in there consistently p

Obviously not everyone view's the ACLU's word as sacred and authoritative. For example, I imagine Nazis, Slave Owners, and Product Managers on the App Store team at Apple would not.

If you want to have a discussion in good faith, then you need to work on your rhetoric. People are unlikely to want to engage with you, here or in your real life, if you regularly talk like that. Seek help.

True: A shadow take that I have been noodling on is that "ability to correctly predict the future" is actually the only true characteristic of intelligence. All other things we might label as intellect are either expressions of th

My point is to state that one of two things must be true: Either IQ does not really measure Intelligence, or Intelligence (being the thing IQ measures or correlates to) isn't much of a desirable quality for agentic systems to have. I s

The "world's smartest man" very recently predicted on X that Bitcoin would hit $220k by the end of the year. [1] Here's the thing: IQ probably doesn't mean much of anything. But it is one of only a handful of ways w

Imagine working on a team in Apple and waking up to the news that the ACLU is now criticizing your work. Talk about being on the wrong side of history. Do Apple employees even care anymore? Or are they just there for the resume prestige? Th

The amount of internet drama a smartwatch that stopped being produced ten years ago generates even to this day is truly incredible. Nothing that's happening here is so important as to make enemies, and the fact that Core Devices even

Fair. As a lifetime workspace user, essentially never having had a normal google account, I'm very used to it at this point.

My assumption would have been that it was default-off, the user didn't know about it at all, then found out about it through this thinking leak. But, interestingly: I'm digging everywhere in the Gemini UI, on web and mobile, and I

by 827a 11mo ago
Yeah, to me this reads like: Google's Gemini harness is providing the user context on every query, but if you have memory turned off they're putting something in the prompt like "Here's the user context, but don't u

No, but Apple is likely to be paying Google for access to Gemini in the upcoming Siri revamp, and relies on Google's technology for the default safari search experience, which is what I was referencing.

Ternus is the leading candidate; VP of Hardware Engineering. He was very likely more directly responsible than Cook for all the things you liked about Cook's Apple. My fear for Apple right now is how most decisions they make appear to

Hot take: If no one knows who has the rights to sell it, no one knows who has the rights to stop someone else from selling it. There'd be a legal battle. For a game like this, its probably not worth it. But I bet by the end of it we&#x

What they're saying is that they might have a foviated rendering solution in addition to the foviated streaming solution we know about, and we'd like to hear about it.

In theory, sure, but that theory surviving practice (e.g. a G20 government bearing against it) is meaningful. E.g. they could push an OS update to automatically turn off ADP for impacted users, but they aren't.
