The value of the site has already crashed

Reddit, the site whose CEO edited the comments of other users, autobans people for saying "fuck spez" (it's fun, try it), and claims the right to all content posted by users and sells it for AI training?

1. How many years ago was the iCloud Keychain API introduced?

2. Why in't there any UI in iOS yet to view and delete that data without using those apps, asking them nicely, and trusting them to do it?

3. Why aren't users informed about apps storing data that will carry across app reinstalls, device reinstalls, and to all your other devices?

It is crazy people think apple isnt on the side of privacy.

Look up the "iCloud Keychain" API:

For years Apple has let and helped Facebook, TikTok, Tinder etc. track users even after you delete an app, even ACROSS DEVICES and DEVICE RESETS.

There's no way to even SEE what data the apps have stored on your device & iCloud account on iOS, only through the macOS Keychain Access app. Even then you can't be sure that that's all that being stored.

They temporarily changed course and wiped iCloud Keychain data when deleting apps, but only during a single beta of iOS some years ago, and then reverted to the way it is now.

This scores so many points in favor of privacy intruding corporations that it puts Apple far from being the paragon of privacy they pretend to parade as.

Maybe your anti-AI knee-jerk training isn't the best model for writing HN comments.

Did I say I wasn't aware of ternary you dumdum?

Even if you want to be anal, ternary is still "post-binary" even if it came out 300 years ago.

By that logic, does the USA deserve to be nuked for what they did to native Americans, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq and others?

I was actually mucking with ChatGPT about possible "post-binary" architectures.

I ended up feeling that ternary is just icky, because the "middle value" doesn't have an "opposite"

Maybe we should do what quaternions did to complex numbers and just jump from 2 to 4: Quaternary CPUs

I couldn't understand half of the words it spat out but it turns out that using pairs of "quits" as the atomic computation unit to represent complex numbers and/or 2x2 matrices could be ideal for AI etc.

The lesson of the last 50 years of the computer and software marketplace is that free and low-end eventually wins.

Except, uhm, for ..you know, that one company that hit a trillion cap

But you're right: Just like how million dollar computers with 1 bit of RAM performing 1 operation a second and taking up a colossal cave were replaced by $1 laptops with a zillion zekabytes running at a trillion hertz (exact values may vary),

the sprawling data centers of today with a quadrillion GPUs powered by black holes will get replaced by breakthroughs in hardware and most importantly, algorithms:

The human brain is proof right here that intelligence doesn't require dinosaur-sized hardware or eat half the sun every second.

I actually wonder if we're seeing the limits of discrete binary logic: Maybe it's high time to give analog ternary and all that funky jazz an honest try :)

I wish there was a way to use American products without a cent going to fund American wars, police militarization or global spying.

Looks like we're back in the 1990s with everyone and their grandma making a browser

To farm that sweet data to sell to AI trainers is it?

Codex Resets 4 days ago

This is actually what I've started to feel a vague nagging concern about as well..

Say what you will, there's no way I'm going back to non-AI assisted coding. Even though I don't use AI to generate code or assets, it's great for reviews and brainstorming etc.

What if OpenAI/Anthropic decide to do a Netflix/Spotify move and pull the rug out from under us one day?

Like skyrocketing the price, or limiting peasants to older models (because Glorious Leader said so), or maybe some leak comes out that they've been spying on us all along.
