I started looking around, I can find charts that show messaging app market share on iOS but none of them include Apple Messages. For sure Apple doesn't share these numbers, it looks like no one else has gone through the trouble to coll

There's no technical reason why services could not interoperate and still provide end-to-end encryption.

I am very curious what three other messaging application are available on iOS and have more market share than Apple Messages! Nearly every member of my family has an iPhone and they all use Apple Messages.

IMHO, the argument is that Apple does not allow any third party messaging app to send message to the built-in messaging application (Apple Messages) on the iPhone. That is Apple ships one messaging app that is the default and may not be rem

I can't speak to the anti-trust issue but it is a real thing. My daughter couldn't join the group chat used by her (all iPhone) cheerleading team. We ended up missing last minute changes to practice locations more than once. And,

How is Apple Messages not the #1 most popular messaging application on the iPhone? I know many people that use an iPhone and they all use Apple Messages. I know because I have an Android phone and this is the only way to communicate with th

In the US, the cost of health care has not significantly decreased since the introduction of rules, regulations and government money pushing healthcare organizations to implement and use EHR systems. I would say all of the intervention by t

Right now, the only products I've seen leveraging LLMs are the tools from Nuance[1] that fill in physician notes. Arguably this is not an improvement; physician notes are already an incomprehensible garble of cut-and-paste content (oft

I don't see how that's the case with the TSA's program. It really sounds like you present your ID and a boarding pass and that's it.

Every article I've read about the TSA's program included the journalist either being denied an alternative to the facial recognition process or being pressured to do it. In an environment where being late for a plane could cost pe

I spend a lot of time working with the junior developers on my team, mostly because that's part of my job. There's also a selfish component: if I don't help the new people get up to speed and improve, then I will be less conf

It's interesting that you mention that you like it having SMS support; do you only use this function to message Android phones? In my experience, the iPhone people I know are consistently annoyed by me and my SMS messages. IMHO, RCS is

by cmiles74 3y ago
Android's messaging app does much the same thing. My preference would be that Apple drop SMS support from Messages all-together and market it as an iOS only communication method. People with iPhones would then have to pick some alterna

Messages inflexible reliance on SMS for communication to non-Apple devices is definitely an Apple issue, in my opinion. Apple has made it clear that they continue to default to SMS for non-iPhone communication solely because it's unple

My phone runs Android, I'm pretty much forced to use SMS in order to communicate with anyone who uses an iPhone and that's most of my family. While it can be argued that iMessage provides a good enough experience on an iPhone for

I wonder how long this will work? If I was Google, I'd think about banning IMAP logins from the Azure servers that are doing this syncing.

by cmiles74 3y ago
Except disguised such that people think it is not webmail. They are replacing a desktop IMAP client (which stored data locally) with a webapp that (it sounds like) copies all of your Google Mail to a Microsoft server. I do think this is a b

This also strikes me as pretty bad. The application that New Outlook is replacing was more of a regular IMAP client and managed mail locally, making this new behavior a big departure. Also: how long does Microsoft expect this to work? If I

Agreed, I suspect the cost is in providing the larger amount of bandwidth to the block or neighborhood (better cabling, cable modems, etc.) Once in place, the individual subscriber usage probably all costs the same for Comcast.

It seems like they focused too much on the details of how the model works and how data is encoded by the model. "In his dismissal of infringement claims, Orrick wrote that plaintiffs’ theory is “unclear” as to whether there are copies

Where is this idea that copyrighted material should be excluded from training data coming from? My understanding is that people want to be compensated when their intellectual property is used as training data for a machine. That strikes me

People who do the work should be compensated when their work is used to generate income for someone else. This is the way it's worked for as long as I can remember: I get paid to do some work, the company then gets my output. What we h

It's convenient to refer to the training of the machine as learning but let's not lose sight of the fact that "machine learning" is not at all the same thing as people "learning". Pretending they mean the same

Meta's handling of the Oculus strikes me as one of the shortest "long term plays" I have every seen. Meta cares a lot about profit and they've turn a maybe-soon-to-be-profitable division into one that's dug a hole b

Maybe Google thinks that "age assurance" is a product they can sell? If it's required by state or federal law, other companies will have to pay for the service.

This is the problem with all players raising prices to the same rate at nearly the same time. There are simply no alternatives and people need to pay the higher price. That's kind of the whole point of the article.

by cmiles74 3y ago
As one player raises their prices incrementally, this information is passed on to all the other players immediately. The software will then "recommend" that other players raise their rates to match. Or the software recommendations

IMHO, an LLM is not "reading" a book in any way, certainly there is no parallel with how people read. It is encoding the book. That's how it can regurgitate chunks of that book later, including, in some contexts, by providing
