This feels like it might have unintended consequences. My mom lives in a neighborhood where lots of people have fruit trees and allow neighbors to take some because none of them could eat all of the fruit. But, once in while, some people ou

I'm just going by the title. If the title was, "Don't believe the hype, LLMs will not achieve AGI" then I might agree. If it was "Don't believe the hype, AGIs is 100s of years away" I'd consider the a

they don't need to buy the transactions. they have apple pay that integrates your cards into their system. then they push apple pay everywhere both offline and on. eventually they will own all the data

I don't feel like this problem is limited to kids. Youtube is a cesspool of people trying to find anything that will make them money and increase their subscribers. 80-90% of the stuff youtube recommends to me is just random people pos

I will never understand how Apple doesn't have automated testing that catches all these basic bugs before shipping.

apple also failed at using autocorrect for emoji. Type: "sorry I was late. I ran" and you want to put :sweat: but I assume you want :running: Put "I hope tomorrow is sunny" and want :pray: but it puts :sun: I guesses wro

AFAICT, Apple excludes all their own apps. Seems like a way to try to get people to use Apple's apps over everyone else's. Just to check, I pick the Quick Time Player. I pick "New Screen Recording". No prompt.

Sounds like you should look for a new job. Jobs move. My Mom's company moved from San Diego to Denver. She quit.

To you and the previous commenter, is it possible you've just aged out of the market? (not sure what other word to use than "aged") but my point is, most people eventually change their habits in almost everything. The way I g

It going to be great fun as Apple and Google add more and more medical features and then when they ban your account you lose them all. Maybe this will be more of the door to break their control on mobile computing.

Apple moved everyone to a "new to the user" OS. Sorry if that wasn't clear. It's irrelevant that OS-X was based on some other OS. To every user of OS-9 it was a new OS for them. Effectively Apple got all of their users t

Some users clearly wanted it because Apple did it and are doing just fine. Users and business want to stop being hacked. Windows will never achieve this without starting over.

More Tron (1982). Nearly any scene with humans in it is mat paintings and then hand masking of live action. https://youtu.be/sbgHMrLPQrE?t=2928
