The limitations of S3 (and all the cloud "file systems") are quite astonishing when you consider you're paying for it as a premium service. Try to imagine your astonishment if a traditional storage vendor showed up and told y

Conversation needs to shift to "market power" which is where the EU has gone. The fact that Apple shares the App store market with Android evenly in terms of users for example is meaningless when they nonetheless hold the vast maj

When reason fails to explain people's actions, it gives you a measure of the strength of their ideology on something. In this case, you can see how deeply they believe in the concept of complete authoritarian control of their ecosystem

Yeah it's a great point. In some ways here we are seeing the exact illustration of that point. If they only cared about user experience and quality they wouldn't sacrifice their user's interests by forcing them through convol

In some ways it makes me question if it's impossible to have one without the other - can you have a company that is as obsessive about quality as Apple at the same time as one that won't attempt to exert monopolistic control over

They create dedicated hardware designed to excel at gaming and then sell it at or near cost. In a very real sense they create the market that games producers sell into, and the business model is explicitly centered around those software sal

Epic doesn't want those users. It is not asking for any placement in the app store. It just wants it's own users who have iPhones to be able to access its software which it will funnel to them through their own channel. Apple cont

It's a good question. From the EU point of view it may be simply one of scale. If any of those held the amount of market power Apple does, I suspect the EU would designate them Gatekeepers and we would be off to the races. From the gam

I hope the EU calls them on this and mandates that they offer equivalent OS API support for 3rd party browsers to implement PWAs to what Safari had at the time their initial ruling was made . Let's then watch how fast Apple restores P

The question I would like to know is whether that just leads you back to hallucinations. ie: is the avoidance of hallucinations intrinsically due to forcing the LLM to consider limited context, rather than directing it to specific /

Because it is chicken feed to them but sets a floor that represents a significant barrier for other players that might seek to get the same type of deal?

I don't disagree but I think it's not a question of "why" but "how". It could still be licensed in a restricted way, but keeping secret how it works is unfortunate - it breaks the chain of learning that is ha

As a virtual reality geek, this is super exciting because although there are numerous people experimenting with voicing NPCs with LLMs, they all have horrible latency and are unusable in practice. This looks like the first one that can actu

Our organization tried to buy an A100 last year. We were informed 12 months wait. nVidia can literally just print money at this point for the next 5 years I think.

I'm curious what people would estimate is an actual reasonable cost for egress? As in, what it costs to provide that service plus a sensible margin? It seems to me that eventually it will come to pass that competition regulators start

Am watching this carefully to try and judge Apple's intentions with Vision Pro. Unfortunately as this article demonstrates, they only have to slightly impair the capabilities of it to pretty much force everyone into writing native apps

Seems likely the team was gutted specifically because they are refocusing on a new strategy.

It's an interesting test for them. Essentially, it's a free hit - low expectations, few constraints, lots of latitude to throw out prior work, open ended opportunity to be creative and innovate, a clear baseline provided by Apple

To be clear, not advocating for FOSS here, in fact almost the opposite, I want the full force of capitalism to be free to solve these problems without arbitrary barriers erected by big tech gatekeepers.

I will just say that I think you're an outlier on the quality / perception spectrum. It's definitely very personal, so this is completely normal, but I don't think you are even slightly representative of where the genera

It doesn't bother you that your spouse can't see it? Even with an iPad, they are still sharing the space with you because they peripherally see what you are are doing, watching, etc. If something particularly interesting was on th

He started off talking about how Vision Pro is not an open platform like MacOS and then he focused on how his productivity use case couldn't be realised because of lack of multiple screens. But he failed to draw the link between these.

it's a future risk I think but not a current one in any way shape or form in the Quest platform. They meticulously ask permission for every app that uses eye / camera / spatial data, even their own. I would say in some sense

Yes Quest 3 is a completely different ball game to Quest 2 as far as this goes. Quest 2 resolution and lenses were completely unusable for me and Quest 3 is usable. But there are people that will say Quest 3 is unusable so you have to reall

that's the real problem with these devices ... it has to actually get boring before you can tell if it's got real value or not. And that takes a long time precisely because the novelty is so high and so interesting. But it w
