It is a coverup. Apple is overtly and completely aware of the optics surrounding photo scanning - they know that an opt-in scheme cannot work as they found out previously. Since they cannot convince users to enable this feature in good-fait

If it's any consolation, current American tech compensation is a blatant bubble that will probably pop like a helium balloon once the China tariffs roll out. If you can't bring margins down on hardware, then employers are going to

The right call is to provide the feature and let users opt-in. Apple knows this is bad, they've directly witnessed the backlash to OCSP, lawful intercept and client-side-scanning. There is no world in which they did not realize the pro

Oftentimes they do. If they don't, it's not very hard to page memory to and from the NPU until the operation is completed. The bigger problem is that this NPU hardware isn't built around scaling to larger models. It's la

Your computer can run it, but you have to layer the model across CPU and GPU memory. Your bottleneck will be PCIe speed, which probably won't be a huge issue for a 4080 on smaller quants.

Apple's new product lifecycle is on life support, particularly with AI. 10 years ago Apple had the right idea - invest in OpenCL, court AMD and other GPU makers and unify on a competitive, complex GPGPU standard. Nvidia would have st

When you make ad-hominem attacks from a position of moral authority, you actually give Russia fewer reasons to care. There is a reason that nobody talks about politics in the way that you are right now, and that is because it is racist and

Great. I have unironically never felt more proud of my tax dollars than I did tracking Bashar Al-Assad's flight out of Damascus. If every single one of Putin's associates aren't similarly hounded from positions of power, then

My prompt is meaningless. When I tell AI to proofread my writing or to generate a boilerplate email, pretty much no part of my prompt makes it into the final product. It's a seed of entropy that gets a literary flywheel spinning, but

Except not really. I'm still going to keep consuming art made by humans, even subconsciously, and I'm going to keep enjoying it. AI has no ground-truth for enjoyable content if not the successful works humans have made and tested

I don't really think the components of your theory are wrong, but I do disagree with the conclusion. Most of the written works that exist today have no basis in factual or enriching knowledge, but society would undeniably be worse-off

Bingo. AI can do "anything" if you press the retry button enough times. But demand consistency even once, and you're irrevocably fucked. Kinda funny how the 8080 microprocessor can still outperform state-of-the-art LLMs if yo
