Boz, really? This is the guy who messed up Meta's "Metaverse" biz first, then introduced privacy invading tracking to all employees and now messing up their AI biz big time. Where is the Focus?
that is a fair point. The contrast between Meta and Apple could not be bigger here. Apple has billions of devices and yet they decided to use 3rd party models from OpenAI and later Google to build their AI features rather than building foundational models in house. Yet Meta did opposite: they built models (spending billions of $$$ and firing 10% of the company) for billions of users who rather would not use Meta AI features.
I thought this is happening for me because I have an old iPhone 11 with degrading battery, screen etc. Did not realize that this is so widespread problem across devices. Really annoying when that happens! Almost unusable phone.
In a similar situation: I basically have just 2 funds in my retirement portfolio: SnP500 index fund (75%) AND Berkshire Hathaway B shares (25%)
from my research I know that in years where SnP500 drops too much (recessionary periods), BRK-B would soften the blow as Value stocks tend to do well in such times. And usually that works for me.
I had one such tour at Toyota's TMMK (Georgetown, Kentucky) manufacturing plant and witnessing the efficiency with which they were making cars blew my mind!
sometimes if you have downloaded an app on Mac it automatically tries to install itself on iPhone due to some settings somewhere. Not saying that's the case with your app but I've noticed that with apps being installed on my iPhone when I install some apps on my Mac.
The durability of their products still surprises me. I still own and use iPhone 11 (still it is my first iPhone when I switched from Android). Still getting latest iOS updates and functioning very well and may last for 2 more years. What other phone could do this?
How does Codex mac app compare with Cursor? If anyone who tried both can explain here?
My experience with Cursor is generally good and I like that it gives me UX of using VS Code and also allows selection of multiple models to choose if one model is stuck on the prompt and does not work.
Folks who have some extra time this Christmas, do check out the tv show Pluribus on Apple TV. It’s not your typical action packed sci-fi show but is very slow burning, philosophical kind of show which I found very smart.
Turns out my best 2 tv shows of last couple of years are on Apple TV: Severance and Pluribus
The thing with reading vs speaking to my emails is, it's much quicker and mentally less exhausting for me to just read and quickly reply or move them to folder in just a few seconds than having this kind of long conversation while driving and putting pedestrians and other drivers and myself at risk.
Recently I uploaded screenshot of movie show timing at a specific theatre and asked ChatGPT to find the optimal time for me to watch the movie based on my schedule.
It did confidently find the perfect time and even accounted for the factors such as movies in theatre start 20 mins late due to trailers and ads being shown before movie starts. The only problem: it grabbed the times from the screenshot totally incorrectly which messed up all its output and I tried and tried to get it to extract the time accurately but it didn’t and ultimately after getting frustrated I lost the trust in its ability. This keeps happening again and again with LLMs.
