I think the big difference here is that it's opt-in, off by default, and also not included with shared images by default. This is a feature because you use it when you WANT to be able to demonstrate an image wasn't altered /

You want there to be separate lines for "how long do you want your stems"? Looking forward to your 18 SKU product matrix of decisions people have to make that they don't know what answer to choose.

I don't know. AI are basically trained to tell you what you want to hear, including when they're disagreeing with you. If you come off of your conversation with AI with a stronger belief than when you went in, is that merited? &qu

You sort of side stepped the author's point, though. > In medicine you have the modern labs which automate a lot and you have the old labs. These 'neolabs' are better because of intelligence. The author is not denying that

There are areas of academia where I definitely worry about this kind of thing, but not really database research (and in general CS is a lot less worrisome than most fields). It's a good thing when industry is a competitively attractive

I was there too, but this blog post agrees with my memory. I agree with you that Snow Leopard was billed as no USER VISIBLE features. But people did NOT just fix niggling bugs, it was an architecturally huge release. E.g., it introduced GCD

100%. Author's point is more like "don't vibe code if you have to maintain it". The code is your responsibility, and it's your responsibility to understand it and maintain it (using the tools your have available). S

Inside joke. Apple's marketing guy used the word "courage" as an explanation when removing the headphone jack.

They weren't banned, but adult websites were not why people bought the original iPhone. Neither the military nor porn were the drivers of smart phone adoption.

I don’t think either of those drove smart phone adoption.

On what platform? It invoked WebKit always on iOS in the early days, html or not. On Mac, AppKit could import html to attributed strings before WebKit existed.

I mean, is it political when you write a paper that concludes that vaccines are effective or that fish die when streams are polluted? The answer seems to have become "yes", so this is a rhetorical question, but ideally _informatio

I wasn't close enough to that to know how long a world build took. Didn't seem like it was too crazy though. Incremental (non-world) builds of the OS come out every day.

I have this impression because I know the native controls are terrific at rich text, so for some reason that support isn't done in a way the author wants to use. The source code of the TextEdit app on Mac is actually published as an ex

Er, I agree it's incredibly old, but also has been treated as societal ill and subject to regulation for its entire history.

I enjoyed FiveThirtyEight back in the day, but does anyone actually go back and look at the old posts? They were very much of the moment. I'd imagine the vast vast majority of the traffic to them is robots. I can see why they wouldn&#x

You’re confusing iOS and Mac OS here. The Mac never used WebKit for NSTextField rendering. When iOS was first written, WebKit was used as the text renderer everywhere initially, including in UIKit controls (the “sweet solution”). This prove

The native Apple libraries are terrific at rendering rich text, it’s one of their strongest assets. The poster’s issues seem to be specifically because they want to use markdown as the backing. The native rich text backing for native Apple

I worked at Apple for a long time. The OS gets fully recompiled regularly. A simultaneous total world build is relatively rare (is that needed here?), but it does happen. Sometimes new compiler versions or features need this.

Most people making this argument aren’t saying they were incapable of doing the project without AI, they’re saying the cost benefit equation was unfavorable because it would take too long.

Ok, but not what this article is about at all. Six figures is for undergrads. The issue here is that PIs don’t have the money to support graduate students, who are typically fully supported.

I mean, this is semantics. Production is not the same thing as "important", but to me production code means customer facing. Internal tooling isn't production.

This has existed since the first version, except it needs to be signed with a valid apple cert. A .pkpass file is a zipped directory that has a json file and some assets. There's no need to have a more limited version, a pass is alread

I imagine you're saying the capital return program is a mistake because they should reinvest the money in R&D etc. I think the issue is there's diminishing returns to spending, and in some cases it can be outright negative. Fo

I think you can reframe this and better understand the point these mathematicians are making. The vast, vast majority of mathematics DOES use infinities. That's the standard perspective. The question is whether there is good, interesti

Well, if you're asking if apple execs use that setting, the answer is probably that they don't. I think the issue is that there are SO many piled up little features everywhere that SOMEone is using that keeping everything working

Yeah, I mean it's true to an extent, I agree. As scientific research though it's not very well thought out. A grant agency would not fund this. There's too much potential for causing harm and it's not clear what benefit
