Ok, good to know. Have fun fighting the good fight.

Maybe nobody (corporation/gov) is paying for that right now, but if all of those things become cheap enough to make sense to do (cost of transmission/ storage/processing are low enough to turn a profit or get the data you want) then someone (corporation/gov) will do it.

Maybe they are making that comparison for the people they want to upgrade to the new macs and not for people that just got their M1 MacBooks.. making m1 to m2 comparison for intel mac users would not make much sense in that case.

Doesn’t seem like they are suggesting that apple can do no wrong. Just pointing out that this is similar to other major Apple announcements. I found their contribution interesting, I’m not sure why you feel the need to be hostile about it.

I think that depends on how you use the tool. For example asking for answers vs asking probing questions while working something out. So it’s probably up to you as an individual. If you’re missing out on “all this” you might just be asking for answers.

If a piece of art is made by a computer based on detailed instructions, that art was made by a computer, not a person.

Tell that to music producers and digital artists. They don’t know what detailed instructions are run by the cpu of the device they use, and yet it is still art and they are still artists.

It’s not a bad deal, I just meant that it’s not so good that you need to ask someone what they are smoking when they are hoping for prices to drop.

I'm not sure what you're smoking

There’s really no need to make it personal.

Also, 2TB for 160 in 2023 doesn’t sound like a great deal.

I was under the impression that Firefox uses your selected search provider for this feature.

Some companies can’t afford to use TSMC’s latest and greatest silicon because big companies have soaked up all the capacity.

Apple is single handedly bankrolling the latest and greatest from TSMC. If it wasn’t for them, the latest and greatest would likely be even more expensive/out of reach for “some companies”.

The videos are highly informative and entertaining, he’s a real gem.

Reuters reported on Jack Ma’s return to China 7 days ago. The title is: Jack Ma returns to China as government tries to allay private sector fears

It’s madness…. Still reading through it but wow

Or they can raise prices or lower profit and actually pay a living wage to their employees.

Idk, I’ve seen some peoples fyp that are primarily text with maybe some background music. So I could see this artifact thing working for those people, and maybe catching on enough to work for others as well

Is that not the same situation as with every other service out there?

I really enjoy how a lot of the top posts on HN end up generating related posts. I dont know if this post was somewhat related to the “40 years of PC Mag” post or not but to me it seems related.

Anyway thanks for sharing.

Also, Google has already been using their LLM in their search, "in the market"

And yet I still have to filter through a bunch of results to find something actually useful, vs simply asking chatGPT and getting relevant information immediately (with obv limitations of chatgpt). Why does it feel like Google search has gotten progressively worse every year?

I agree. YT Shorts have made YT less pleasant to use.

Basically this is saying: "No conservative blogs allowed" which erases at least 50% or more of the population's musings.

Curious which population (country?) you are referring to that’s 50% or more conservative

You can flip that around too - If remote work was so great for productivity, all companies would switch to it?

When you’re flipping this pancake please remember that real estate prices and tax write offs weigh into the reasoning some companies employ when deciding their wfh policies

Your reply looks like "tell me you work for apple without telling you work for apple" or "tell me you are apple fanboy without telling you are one".

Why are you making this so personal?

Shareholders, who ultimately foot the bill for all those incredibly juicy RSU packages…

How do you figure? Are the investors not making a profit? Or are you saying that the employees are basically stealing investor profits?

so they could arguably charge $50 a month and retain most of their iOS customers.

Source?

Read it over the course of a couple months during my commute, my back hurt but as you said it was marvelous.

I mostly agree, and think that In addiction to what you said “what’s up” is basically like pinging someone to see if they are available so that some additional reason planning can occur

but they built their entire business structure based on a brittle assumption that they could retain full control on their ecosystem regardless of political landscape. Now they're going to pay the price of making a wrong bet.

Do you really believe that you see or understand something that decision makers at Apple hadn’t considered?

A loss of one of us is a loss for all of us. I’m glad you are in a better place.

Haven’t had any terrible experiences with lightning cables. I have several cables that are from 2016/2018 that I use regularly. But then again none of my type c cables go bad either… I think it would have been safer to say “from my experience <xyz>” instead of presenting your opinion as if it were more than just an opinion. I see how friends and family members treat their cables, tugging on the phone to disconnect instead of removing the cable by hand. Or placing the charger in a way that the cable is bent up against a piece of furniture. Regarding the lightning port, it’s actually quite easy to clean, compared to ports like usb-c (I’m guessing you know why that would be). Also using lightning on a Mac doesn’t make sense and that’s probably why they don’t do it.

I agree with you. Those kinds of questions feel awful, and it doesn’t feel great to make one up either. In the past I’ve tried to be honest and said that I don’t have a particular story (or w.e they called it in the question) but that I have something that I can to a similar situation and like you suggested I would also talk about what I learned / took away from that experience.
