Tim Cook spent decades protecting both IP and profit by pitting vendors against each other. He's avoided being captive to China, and Apple will not let AI capture its business.

How can one write an article about testing that doesn't even mention the invariants you're trying to validate (by construction or testing)? That's the minimum context for addressing any QA solution. The GoF pattern book did

I appreciate the candor and the analysis, but I think it's missing the forest for the trees. Medical providers care about people, and indeed are responsible for the health of their patients. Some of those patients turn around and bite

> I wonder how Swift plans to address this. Swift subsets the language and libraries (which the compiler inlines). No complicated strings or runtime metadata for generic existentials. And new features for ownership. Seamless C interop.

Go drove the cloud-native migration from java/enterprise, riding the wave from behemoth machines to small containers, as a result of Google deciding to build alternatives to Java/Oracle and raw C. The ease of the language and the

Nice observations. In my experience, the most important aspect is whether people care about other people's take. At a minimum, care enough to maintain a respected persona, but mainly, to be interested in hearing and adopting or shapin

This article doesn't even mention the new type checker and constraint solver. The compiler is open-source, and discussed on open forums. Readers would love some summary/investigation into slow-down causes and prospects for fixes.

The article isn't about Swift; it's about the history of concurrency on mac's dating the to the last millennium. The article doesn't even really explain the modern push - the difference between threads and fibers, or bet

This static SDK is just one example of Swift's new support for user-definable platforms, timed to amplify support for embedded and WASM. Along with the move to a non-Apple GitHub organisation, it represents real progress in extending s

I think we as tech people lost the forest for the trees. Apple (unwisely I think) is allowing UI's to just generate responses. The wow-neat! experience will wear off quickly. Then even as a miss rate of 0.1%, there will be thousands -

The ulnar nerve goes to finger 4 and 5, and the median to 2 and 3 plus a branch to 4. For me, 3+4 is the most difficult combination to maintain, and raising 4 is the most difficult, but the effect (as you suggest) is strongest in the non-d

It sounds like there's a many-thousand-square-km area to search for 15-cm patches, which would be difficult to do for humans (in extreme heat). But a well-designed drone trained to visually recognize candidates would be a great service

For auto-immune diseases, the question is always whether suppressing over-activity will cause more disease than it prevents. In this case, the pathway affects macrophages, leucocyte activation and migration, and production of 3 inter-leukin

So then what if the generative LLM is simply the "UI", tailored to the student, but working from a topological map of the subject matter in the form of quizzes? And if it were able to present questions targeted at student gaps, b

Generative AI works by selecting the most likely next words. But students misunderstand in many different ways. How would it be tailored instead of another way of delivering lesson plans? Even assuming you already had the topology of the p

Right, the incentives are adverse: if they lower quality of service for free offerings, they'll be rewarded with more paying customers for reliable service. But quality does take money.
