Apple is always the victim and get singled out in the minds of its fans.

They are scared that Meta and other popular apps might just abandon the AppStore altogether or offer significant advantage for side loaders. This is the problem with having too tight of a control, Apple is always living in fear of losing co

if they could, they would put enormous restrictions on the browser as well. Chrome's popularity on iOS and MacOS is stopping them.

Apple delayed their effort 'indefinitely' to work on cheaper Vision Pro. They are at least 3-5 years behind Meta at this point. And if past is any sign of the future, Zuck is not slowing down this effort anytime soon for Apple to

All correct, Meta does obviously benefit. It's helpful to also look at what do the developers and companies (everyone outside of top 5/10 big tech companies) get out of this. They get open access to weights of SOTA LLM models that

If by "everyone else" here you mean 3 or 4 large players trying to create a regulatory moat around themselves then I am fine with them getting locked out and not being able to create a moat for next 3 decades.

Creating content with AI will surely be helpful for social media to some extent but I think it's not that important in larger scheme of things, there's already a vast sea of content being created by humans and differentiation is a

And lets not forget the hills. Driving in SF is no joke. In my 20+ rides with Waymo, it feels that it drives more confidently than most Uber drivers I've had experience with.

Protections under GDPR apply to both local storage and cloud storage. In this case both local storage and cloud storage are provided by same company so that distinction doesn’t matter but this storage location agnostic coverage of GDPR come

This is a clear violation of GDPR. The GDPR emphasizes the right to erasure (Article 17) and data minimization (Article 5). These principles require that personal data be: * Kept for no longer than necessary * Deleted upon request or when n

Agreed, this is a major breach of trust if iCloud backup is not honoring my delete actions. I am sure this is also a GDPR violation and EU is probably already looking into it.

Looks quite a solid fine tune from benchmark results. I iwsh they had added benchmark comparison to GPT 4 Turbo as well. From the huggingface page: Model Details We introduce Llama3-ChatQA-1.5, which excels at conversational question answer

He went into the details of how he thinks about open sourcing weights for Llama responding to a question from an analyst in one of the earnings call last year after Llama release. I had made a post on Reddit with some details. https:/

Good thing that he's only 39 years old and seems more energetic than ever to run his company. Having a passionate founder is, imo, a big advantage for Meta compared to other big tech companies.

Detecting a fake profile is a very hard problem and in a very different domain than LLMs. What makes it so difficult is goal to minimize false positives, ideally you do not want to delete profiles of genuine users. Meta has said in the past

What does not get a lot of attention is the work they have done with OCP (Open Compute: https://www.ocp.org/en-us ) to first launch it in 2012 and then nurture and grow it since then. One project I am really excited to see g

Plus these tools get better faster when more people use them. It's a win-win.

Genuinely curious, are there any examples of successful products build by ex-Apple Design team members?

This is specifically designed for inference for recommendations models. It’s not for LLM training or inference.

Right and they have a LOT of GPUs from Nvidia for handle the unknown. Custom silicon for custom workloads seems like a good strategy specially considering the capabilities that the team will develop along the way.

It’s intentional. Replace EU with Apple and law with AppStore rules and you’ll see the parallels. > I'm saying the EU did not write them as strongly as the other versions, making them harder to understand and potentially steering th

It’s per install including updates. All apps from Meta and Google update almost weekly. That’s 100s of millions of dollars a year in CTF that they won’t have to pay if they stay in the store.

It’s funny how Apple fans here, and on other forums, dislike the seemingly arbitrary heavy handed gate keeping on Apple by the EU when in fact Apple engages in far extreme level of arbitrary gate keeping and this is somehow loved by the sam

Malicious compliance attempt number 2 from Apple. This is clearly not complaint with DMA and there's no way that Apple doesn't know that. The core issue is that Apple doesn't want to give away the absolute god-like control ov

I think that is why payment processing fees and platform fees need to be separated out.

Exactly. This is the most problematic anti-competitive behavior and it's easily addressable by existing antitrust laws.

The fact that none of the Apple apps have privacy labels for users to see if extremely annoying. I can go to AppStore and see what data each app uses or read user reviews but there's no way to do that for any Apple apps for some reason

In this case, the simple solution is for Apple is to have an Android app. Which, as per the email revealed in court cases, they have had and haven't launched since 2013.
