They announced this feature at the Apple Watch reveal last year. I believe the map and GPS runs on the phone.

You can implement the same features of this customised version using standard Redis sets. I've been using Redis to implement some large directed graphs (e.g. 300,000+ nodes, > 1m directed edges) using the built in Redis data structu

While Egison has some powerful matching I fear it risks becoming a 'read only' language which is really hard to maintain. I would have to disagree with the authors that Elegance == Simplicity as they state in the presentation (Pro

I'm not sure why Swift is controversial. Objective-C was all but lock in to Apple's ecosystem. If you want cross platform there are other options. Why shouldn't Apple try to optimise development for their ecosystem? Playgroun

I just want lights to turn on when I enter the room, and turn off if I'm the last to leave. If Apple can turn the argument from 'control' to presence, then it would be interesting.

Or F#, if you are using .net or mono. It's pretty well integrated into Visual Studio these days, and quite good in Xamarin Studio.

It's been a while since I was into this, but I think the problem of the bounds discussed in Myth 5 is that while the theory is fine, in practice the bounds are big, and Bayesian methods converge faster. The discussion also doesn't

The biggest background drain on my MacBook Air is DropBox. It keeps trying to make a network connection when there is no wi fi available. Pause syncing on DropBox and the battery life improves.

Wow, memory lane. Yes it did, with the new 'ColorManager' that could display the same window spread across the beautiful 640x480 color monitor and a B&W monitor. Very cool in the day.

They seemed a bit more game focussed at WWDC with Sprite Kit, Dynamics and game controller support.

Did you use Mac OS 8 & 9? They were awful. No proper multitasking ("cooperative"), no memory protection, crappy TCP stack, and lots more bad stuff. Things were so bad they bought a replacement OS (NeXT) because their internal engineerin

I think MS have lost a lot of support on the desktop after deprecating Windows Forms (which is all a lot of enterprise apps need), followed by WPF/Silverlight's poor penetration leaving no hardware accelerated graphics for non-WPF (bit blit

It depends on your model - size and variables. If you have a moderately sized model with discrete variables you can infer values using exact algorithms (e.g. clique tree propagation, variable elimination, etc). If your model is too complex

I have a whole lot of floppies from that period with dev tools but I don't think I kept much MacApp stuff because it required Mac Programmers Workbench (MPW) to compile which was pretty cumbersome. I started using Consulair Mac C, then late

The Sony RX1 shows how small you can get today for a full frame sensor, but the size of the lens is pretty big, because of the physical limitations of optics. I have a 5D Mark III and there is a huge difference in quality with my iPhone 5.

It sounds like an inverse-need situation. Those who can afford Google Glasses probably live in neighbourhoods they aren't attacked at a high rate, whereas those who live in higher crime neighbourhoods can't afford it. Will it help? Once cri

The app is great. It seems to take the approach of a post-processing frame shift rather than real-time stabilisation. In other words it lets the phone capture and compress using hardware, but keeps the sensor data separately and shifts the

Very interesting interview, but I couldn't help be saddened by this: "...my PhD research was on Gaussian random fields, with particular application to brain imaging data. The bulk of my work at Google is in other areas, since I work for the

Interface is a bit rough and appears rushed - hard to tap on some targets, keeps resetting to current location when moving in and out of the app. The live traffic information doesn't seem as up to date as Apple Maps. Nice to have actual loc

I think their recent foray into Maps may give them pause.

I agree, this is unusual for Anandtech. It seems you could summarise the 12 page review as 'meh'. Maybe they didn't have enough time with it to get into any more detailed analysis. Also, I get the impression that Microsoft has been set a lo

If the iPad is a luxury item why have other companies not beaten it in price/performance? The Surface doesn't have a retina display, for example. Yes, Apple make a profit on their hardware, which is apparently not the case for Nexus tablet

Safari uses a JIT. Other browsers and UIWebView based applications are not allowed to access the JIT, apparently because it is a security risk. Even lua based apps are not allowed to run luajit because code generation on iOS isn't allowed w

I've spent the last 20 years in the area of patient safety and reducing medical error -- the last 10 years in building technology to assist clinical staff in improving safety. You are correct in saying the incentives are not right, but rega

I don't think it is helpful in this situation to insinuate that medical error was involved, or that Mr Hunter's death was preventable. Also, thinking that a simple checklist will solve medical error reflects a very simplified view of the pr

This kind of thinking is simply not medically correct. The idea that eating a will lead to increase in b and then improve all these functions has no basis in evidence. The body is way more complex and the relationships between different pro

Unfortunately they seemed to start with the question "how can we use Chrome and Google products" rather than how can we best present the story. Understandable based on Google's funding of the project. E.g. Do you really need linking in sepa
