Do you have any reference for that? I have a hard time seeing how that would be true once the components were coalesced but maybe before that.

Apple AirPods and Google buds both can do automatic translation. It's still a little too slow and is a little clumsy to use but it's getting better fast.

Both are in the same order of magnitude.

more likely that this is a harder problem than regulators assume.

You really should keep that child strapped into their car seat.

If you are concerned about blocking visibility, none of the screens are high enough to block view of the area in front of the car. They only block the upper part of the dashboard or some of the hood.

The things that CarPlay does are not the things that are controlled with buttons. Navigation, music, audiobooks, notifications work best with a screen. The driving and vehicle features like heat, blinkers, etc are where you want dedicated physical buttons.

Both the article and the original comment are referencing July, not June.

Then there is this one. Seems to be a trend.

No, that post is about Claude for Foundation Models. That is not the same as Apple Intelligence.

the Swift package for Claude for Foundation Models is about sending calls to Claude. That had nothing to do with Apples models which do use local models and models on Private Cloud Compute.

Your accusation that "Apple straight up lied" is based on misunderstanding TFA.

Consider that they described the development process as taking Siri down to bare metal and rebuilding on a new architecture. I don’t think our previous Siri experience will be particularly relevant.

It’s mostly that it takes energy. If fresh water is we drink that. There aren’t a lot of places where only salt water is available so, for most animals, it isn’t worth it to have evolved a way to extract water from salt water.

Animals in the ocean of course do live without fresh water. Some of them just live off of water extracted directly from their food or from metabolizing that food, which produces water. Some animals have specialized cells that excrete salt so that can take in salt water and separate out the salt.

They are working on it. It is in Firefox Nightly behind a flag.

Our Okta is setup so that it usually does the two-factor before asking for password.

That is a series hybrid.

The Chevy Volt was one and the current Honda CRV is another. Both of them work mainly by the gas engine driving one of the electric motors as a generator while the other motor drives the vehicle. They have a simple eCVT transmission. However, both vehicles have a mode where they directly engage the engine to the transmission at highway speed cruising because that is more efficient.

Nissan has a series hybrid system that they have used in the Note that is only the series hybrid without the direct connect mode. That saves some money.

FYI it was Apple that bought a struggling NeXT.

It is a very manual process and would probably be an inefficient way to collect that data.

Also, the Touch Bar seemed to be abandoned as soon as it launched. It only ever launched on the Pro line. There were never any feature updates. They never made it flexible enough for people to customize it.

Funny, I was just thinking about getting an old Intel Mac mini that I could use to play around with Haiku and a few other things. Maybe I’ll revisit those plans.

center to center.

Pixels have pitch, which is the distance between pixels. That is what is usually meant when talking about px as a measurement. It is analogous to dpi or ppi or the metric version.

What is your concern about prompts to go OpenAI? Apple has a contract with OpenAI that explicitly prevents them from logging, storing, training, or making any use of your prompts other than to satisfy the specific current request. Apple has some good lawyers and I’m sure that the teeth are prominent in that contract.

BTW there is a linguistic tradition of “hill hill”. When new immigrants come to an area and ask the locals what that hill is called, the locals say “big hill” in their language. The newcomers call it “bighill” hill in their language. I forget the examples but this has happened enough in England that there are places whose names are five hills deep (Brythonic -> Latin -> Saxon -> Norse -> Norman).

Perhaps like a pharmacy that mixes their own medications from more basic ingredients and is known as a “compounding pharmacy”.

Probably just means everyone has to vibe code their own software.

zingababba started this thread talking about mixing caffeine and nicotine.

For some reason, Safari (on Mac) is only pulling two paragraphs from the source. it isn't AI generated but the parsing routine seems to break on this page. I don't see any particular properties that make these paragraphs stand out from the others.

Other exposures in the wider area around Neumark-Nord have yielded more coarse-grained evidence of regular exploitation of the same range of prey animals, at sites such as Rabutz, Gröbern and <a href="https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2309427120">Taubach</a>. The last site contained cut-marked remains of 76 rhinos and 40 straight-tusked elephants.

No “representative” would mean that was a typical outcome and that is not the case. That is what would be called an “exceptional” outcome.

The $349 iPad has an A16 chip. The Neo has an A18pro chip. the iPad Air has an M4 chip but is $599. The single-core performance of the A18pro and the M4 are the same as they have the same kind of chip cores. The M4 has a couple more cores though.

I’m not sure why you are having to much problem with FaceID. Low light shouldn’t matter as it doesn’t use ambient light to “see” your face. It has an infrared emitter that shines a pattern on your face and that is what the sensor picks up.

Touch and mouse are complementary inputs that must be included. Working on a Windows laptop with touch and an iPad with Magic Keyboard have convinced me of that.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that having touch means you only use touch. Same for a mouse/trackpad pointer. Each has strengths and weaknesses and it better at some tasks than others. The pointer is good for clicking on small UI elements or doing small movements. It suffers with larger movements across the screen. Touch is good for scrolling, zooming, tapping buttons, tabs, and sometimes links. It’s good for jumping around the screen and moving things.

The keyboard is a third input/control interface and can be even faster and more precise than the mouse pointer. When the mouse first came on the scene, people derided it as less efficient than a keyboard and complained that you had to move your fingers away from the keyboard to use one. They swore they would never use one.

Where these work best is a mix of input modes using different ones for different scenarios. Having a mix if broad and precise inputs means you don’t need to tailor the whole interface for just precision or just broad strokes. The interface can be designed to accommodate the presentation of information and let the choice of inputs be up to the user. A side benefit of having difference input modes is that your hands move in different ways for each. You are less subject to repetitive stress from doing the same hand motion for everything.

Similar to the reports that talk about health problems with sweeteners. Not enough good data to be informative and actionable.

You assume that everyone needs more battery life. That need is highly variable based on different use and access to chargers.
