> If Apple had supported open iCloud alternatives for backup and other services from day one, it woudn't even be a discussion now. You think the OS vendor is unable to snoop on data written to 3rd party clouds from their devices?

No since I’m not making claims about the company and its marketing directly.

I wasn’t making claims that Apple was marketing one as better or implying some contradiction between glossy and matte upgrades, so this information isn’t relevant to my point. Matte has been sold as an upgrade in the lineup for a long time

It’s classic Apple commenter not know about Apple. They offered matte display upgrades to the MacBook Pro almost 20 years ago. The current glossy black display only became a product line wide choice with the retina displays in 2012, likely

Shockley Semi was founded 16 years after Hewlett Packard, so you have to keep reaching backwards.

I did read the link. The people working on Sky were exactly the people tasked with making App Intents usable, so again it doesn’t make sense why you give a bunch of credence to semi-public demoware in one context versus demoware you don’t h

That’s a weird claim. Sky never shipped anything, and they’ve been building for 2 years. You don’t think Apple has any internal demos that are comparable? How do you know?

Wow sounds very comparable yet notably omitted from the ranges the tribunal considered. Sounds like you agree with me that they just made it up? Or are you saying that it's fair to exclude the app store of an open platform which has pl

It's certainly true that iOS's strict sandboxing and aggressive resource management probably made life harder for them, but that doesn't excuse the lack of deep integration for 1p automation. That's the kind of stuff App

For the record, I doubt the CTO of OpenAI is the best person to fund if you're looking for trade secrets on training and deploying SOTA LLMs. They are two levels too far from reality to know anything useful.

Consider Google Play, for starters.

Workflow / Shortcuts was a neat idea that never really worked or expanded beyond a small group of users. I don't think you can really extrapolate "great hackers" from that. The programming interface they exposed was trul

Judgment can be grounded in reality or it can be picking a random subrange of a list of somewhat random ranges and then picking a midpoint because why not.

Or Spotify, a common complainant, who pays Apple $0 because they only sign up accounts on their website.

by shuckles 1y ago
Where does this meme come from? Spotify pays Apple nothing more than a $99 developer fee, and the streaming music business would not exist in its current form without iPhone.

TLDR: they made it up.

Because she was CTO of OpenAI.

Because everyone involved is in on the grift and the money comes from the taxpayer's budget.

The Dreamliner had PMF issues? Hasn't it been a hugely successful point to point widebody?

This is bad data analysis. It has all kind of issues: using correlation to imply causation without any proposed causal mechanism; various selection bias; no context given for how the companies analyzed were selected; laughably large ranges

Extremely funny to speak on behalf of the continent about a niche EV brand that nobody has to buy if they don’t want to.

See this is the type of hysterical flattening I was referring to. There is meaningful distinction in the details, such as Apple’s implementation being non-targetable, but if you think all client side scanning is the same you will concede ev

Why do you think the EU hasn’t opposed Apple’s plan to notarize every app, even sideloaded ones? They like the censorship potential.

When Apple attempted to anticipate these laws and propose a system which tried to navigate a compromise, the “pro-privacy” faction was so politically dumb they spread FUD about it and actively made sure no reasonable compromise could ever b

I have a feeling people simply found other ways to be compensated instead of W2 income.
