It cuts both ways. Desktop linux NIHed a bunch of basic features in some buggy, insecure C code that barely works. Like, it has absolutely zero security, no accessibility, no fine-grained permissions system, no normal cross-application comm

Windows 11 can’t even move a window in “overview mode” from one screen to another. Something single-men projects trivially do. It is absolutely useless, I rather use Gnome than that.

Can you replace the camera firmware in any of your devices? That’s the same category, I don’t think laws tell you anything about that.

Yeah, by having literally a shitton of cash, and having bought multiple ML startups over the years. Plus it’s not like they couldn’t make Siri better, multiple projects had internal problems with Siri and were trying to get it replaced, but

What personal data do you have on Microsoft? It doesn’t even know where my photos are as the folder structure is at the end completely arbitrary - how could it execute “call the person on this photo”, and similar level of integration? This

Android CPUs are not playing in the same ballpark as Apple’s, there is always at least one generation difference between - and the core of these AI features is on-device intelligence, possibly by having managed to fit a good chunk of an LLM

I think this will be a complete game changer. This will be the first device (with reasonable capabilities) where the human-machine interaction can transform into an actual instruction/command only one. We no longer just choose between

They have literally revamped Siri, and based it on an LLM that runs on-device, and can use your personal context, plus can escalate to a private cloud model when it deems “weak” for the task at hand. How the hell is it underwhelming?
405.
by kaba0 2y ago
But it has an on-device LLM plus an in-cloud LLM, that can handle many types of queries, so why would it be bad?

GraalVM’s interpreter, AST, etc is also written in Java, so there is a warm-up for these as well. Also, the memory representation has to be somewhat generic, and can’t be over-optimized for Javascript specifically. Add to it that JS has mul

Java is still quite a small language, several-times smaller than C++ or C#. I really don’t feel Java being on that “slippery slope” at all, people like to talk about. Sure, it can’t really shrink, due to backwards compatibility and for the

These are switch expressions . And there is absolutely a need for them, especially with records. They provide a much safer and better composing way to write data-oriented code.

Java previously didn’t have pattern matching, and now re-uses an older syntax to have that. There is nothing “slow”, java was never meant to be at the forefront of language design (it’s a blue-collar language). Even then, it is not at all b

For what it’s worth, gradle is probably the only other build tool that has good inter-language capabilities (and it is heavily used by the android toolchain). Most other build tools are specialists.

Then maybe learn a bit about it, before you decide based on bullshit whether you like it or not? Not that anyone would care about your opinion even then, when you can’t even get right such a basic thing as what it’s written in — then you

Why would it be good to report it? Depending on what “infrastructure” stands for here, unless it is something absolutely unwise security-wise, why?

That’s a good life philosophy! I think it’s also humbling to look at these opportunities as a learning experience. “If you are a smartest person in the room, you are in a wrong room!”

At the same time, companies often fail to invest into long-term goals, like maintainability, increasing test coverage, or even bettering the internal UI, even when it’s their core, business-critical product.

That’s true. But why would Java take inspiration from Kotlin, which adds very little new to the picture (scala has done basically everything before, let alone ML, from where most of the new features java (or any other modern language) copie

Pure react will be plenty fast. Really, try it. It’s when websites add 6 tracking libs, use some less than adequate developer that writes questionable code, and loads 3 ads per user interaction when it slows down, the same way whatever imme
