100% agreed. This is going to be the point in history that people will remember when Apple went too far and how it destroyed the company...or destroyed the Apple as we know it today. I've understood every single Apple product so far (w

Of course if we lie to ourselves. It's just an iOS app browser inside Oculus Quest like product + Disney content.

The price is so insane and outrageous that this will be pretty much 101% failure. It's essentially iOS app browser inside Oculus Quest like glasses + Disney garbage content. Hard to see even value for 1000 USD price tag.

There is no evidence whatsoever to indicate that the dislike count was "abused by troll hordes". Your arguments are very weak and remind me of the rhetoric used by totalitarian regimes in justifying their censorship. "Public

Whether AI comes for our jobs or not is not really relevant. Whenever there is technical revolution some jobs will vanish, new jobs will be born and some existing jobs will remain but they will also change. In regards to software engineerin

No one said anything about creating boilerplates. It's a significant advantage for developers to ask AI to solve technical problems, get right answers right away and move to a next task vs keep on scratching your head for the next 5h w

Lol. This clearly shows it's made by Samsung/Android manufacturer. They just don't understand why people use iOS. After scanning the code this happens: 1) Hey! Please copy this page URL and open it in Safari! I open it in sa

"Spotify would consistently "rabbithole" me into the same ~150 songs, most of which I didn't even like." They do that because their fake top/featured/popular now playlists are crafted by major record label

”If they take a stance, they will be banned from China completely.” Unlikely as that kind of a move would have a huge global impact. That might lead to all Chinese companies (Bytedance, Xiaomi etc.) being banned in the west/US etc. The

Laying off staff of a company that has barely added any new features during the last 10 years and has always been operating at a loss is not necessarily a bad thing for the future of the platform. You are right about the chaotic way things

Honestly this whole "responsible AI" thing is a sad last attempt to run away from the inevitable. The reality is that our politicians will end up in fake photos/videos/audio recordings, people who can't even draw a

"when in reality there are a lot of talented people in India and from India." There are skilled people from India, but rarely in India I'd assume. The market for software engineers in India is not great to put it politely so

Lol. They have probably defined how to money is to be sent to them. Even if they had not it's probably better to stfu and comply. More your try to fuck with the regulators, more they will punish you.

I didn't say that it was more inconvenient than installing a native app, but it's not more convenient either. I don't see any reason to switch to these PWAs when native apps are usually guaranteed to have better UX, features,

by illuminati1911 4y ago
Exactly. Can someone tell me what PWA even is from user perspective? I think most users just see web and web apps that they can use through their browser and then there is the app store and its native apps. Most people have no idea what the

If I do something once then it's slightly annoying downloading the app from the app store, but I can live with it. It's not worse than opening browser and going to some URL.

As someone who has lived several years in China, it most definitely cannot be found. In some places maybe, but not anywhere or at least not in the same magnitude. This article may simplify it too much and fail to explain it properly but the

”Run your own text to image prompts with CUDA, a bunch of disk space, and an insane amount of memory.” The ”insane amount of memory” turned out to be 32 GB or more. I thought we are talking about 512 GB or something like that.

” Any proof of that statement? Or are you one of those people who believes in the invisible hand of providence the way religious people believe in God?” It’s inherent fact of the reality we live in. People like money and higher compensation

The global economy and free market will always make sure that the talented people will receive higher compensation. It doesn't matter if someone outsources to India or not, but if you are getting something for really cheap you are buyi

This is not really true at least everywhere. In Europe and especially North Europe smaller (less than 1000 ppl) consultancies are usually the most lax and best paid jobs with best benefits out there and the best ones definitely do raise the

They are not happy to pay for shit, but they are tricked into thinking that they can get same quality from India outsourcing as from actual professional devs/companies. Later they get angry and then they'll go to court. The order

100% true and even if you offer a more higher caliber consultancy instead of these India outsourcing companies, the legacy corporations and their management will never want to admit that they know nothing about tech or their business. Beca
