It’s just the price of living on the Pacific ring of fire. What are you going do give up modern living in a modern country and live in tents, it is the price to pay living on or near tectonic plates, as a resident who has lived several 6.0-

The largest acquisition in Apples history is only $3 billion dollars it is no surprise they didn’t fall for Sammy or give Google more than $1 billion refund. A legitimate criticism will be Apple not fixing their memory problem in the next 2

IBM is still around hanging on the lights are on, but they are a tech backwater in comparison to their past and I don’t think they’re gonna be coming back. They are just going through the long fade out. Similar to Xerox and Kodak.

AI is going to be very useful going into the future. It’s just that it will just be incorporated into the existing programmers tool kit, and not the be all end all.

When your competition is currently burning billions of dollars left and right, Apple refunding Google $1 billion and giving OpenAI zero dollars seems pretty smart to me, Apple‘s largest acquisition in their entire history is only three bill

It was worthwhile because in the end it taught them that they needed to do something like Apple Silicon. And hopefully the current memory fiasco will convince them that they need to take memory in house if they want to build what they need

The Apple Vision is at least two or three generations away hardware wise, it not only has to be several times faster (M8, M9 with a R2 or R3 processors) than what it is. The battery life needs to be better a lot better and it has to be half

I’m laughing right now, Apple is in a very good position and it was a grand plan because OpenAI, i.e. Sam Altman pitched Apple and got nothing, you cannot tell me going into that meeting with Tim Cook at Apple that Sam thought he could sque

You can roll it over into such a plan when you’re still working for the company you’re at, but you have to take it upon yourself to do so they don’t volunteer that information. Most of the people in my design department didn’t bother to rol

You can, but you have to take it upon yourself most of investment companies handling such plans. Don’t like to volunteer that information.

You can transfer your 401(k) to an account that will allow you to buy individual shares I did that and bought as many shares as I could in a blue chip tech company. Glad I did because if I had stayed in one of those so called index (all for

In America, the school cafeteria used to prepare the meals for the kids those days are largely gone. Everything is prepackaged and processed. Who knew all the cooked meals were going the way of the dodo.

Highly processed fake food with shelf extenders added to the mix…

The thing that hurts most people around the world is that we still eat as if we’re gonna work from sun up to sundown habits are hard to break…

The American Indians in South America, ate potatoes for hundreds of years, potatoes, even saved many people in Europe there’s nothing wrong with them in moderation.

The real thing in relative moderation is better for you than the for profit chemicals and food additives/substitutes/extenders, cane sugar, honey are both better for you than high fructose corn syrup, and the same applies for all
259.
by Danox 3mo ago
High fructose corn syrup, is the worst, and there are many other substitutes added to food products today for profit that are worse than the real thing.

Obviously, Mediterranean, Spanish or Adobe type buildings would have been better, and not the northern European style of architecture.

Paris didn’t have air-conditioning because they sit at a latitude of 49 where in the past you might have a week maybe two of sustained high temperatures above 90°, since Paris sits at a latitude of 49 which is north of the United States-Can

Good luck… it’s the economy.

They don’t have a monopoly and if they do, it would only be because the EU and the United States let them or I should say they let all their decisions be made by private companies who scraped the public Internet and now want to fence it in

And that censorship will fail too, like sanctions, tariffs, and keeping down open source software or exchanging ideas across borders, ultimately it will fail, but that won’t stop governments across the world from trying.

If it wasn’t for the current memory fiasco, Apple would be even closer to providing a solution on the desktop that is affordable for most (Hacker News participants) who want to run a large model locally at reasonable cost, which will happen

Yes, and yes, again the only way to compete is to build the best not hide in a corner and once again the rest of the world will go on in AI without the United States if we flub it. Circling the wagons, isn’t the long range answer.

Very, very true a large portion of the population in the Us is definitely hurting, and the proliferation of those luxury apartments across the country are not helping the housing market.

In time, what do you think is gonna happen with the Google Gemini models, I predict that in time Apple will just dump it when they’re ready… No different than dumping Intel. In similar Qualcomm is probably coming up in the near future 2027-

Apples allergy goes back to Motorola saying no, IBM saying no, Intel saying no, which led to buying Pa Semi, Intrinsity, and Anobit which in turn led to the birth of Apple Silicon with in house Soc’s. Waiting for the crowd means no vertical
