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 / was yours, like for a journalist.

This is an actual question, not a dig: what do you mean by non-removable?


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.


The materials cost between those buns is practically nothing. OP is reaching.


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?

"AI Advice Suppresses People’s Willingness To Say “I Don’t Know”, Even When The Advice Is Wrong And Accuracy Is Incentivized" https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/5y6m4_v1


Yeah you have to frame the prompt as if you've come across some potentially extremist view you want to know more about, and pretend you're an outsider needing advice. Then you bias it to favor what you really want to know.


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 a lab can be more effective with intelligence, they're arguing that this entire phase of the process of improving health is not the bottleneck.


And that, furthermore, the new labs and the old labs still both remain incentivized by the regulatory environment to chase the wrong targets. The new lab might just iterate towards the wrong targets faster.


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 environment for research, which is how I read this.


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. And unless I’m confusing the year, it rewrote the Mail backend to use it and mail hasn’t had reliable search since.

My memory is that quality was so low that we pushed back the release. With the extra time we did manage to fix enough bugs that it was well received. But internally it was more destabilizing than most releases due to the amount of architectural churn.


Snow Leopard shipped a new 64-bit Cocoa Finder too, but no one noticed because it was almost a pixel perfect and behaviour perfect copy of the previous one.


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).

Strange article. If their point was "…but vibe coding is really tempting, so you have to exercise a lot of discipline" I'd be on board.


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


lol


That decision had a lot of detractors at the time, but it ultimately seems to have been correct.


I don't know if I agree.

People who moved to bluetooth got arguably worse sound quality.

For wired headphones, there were very few lightning headphones and they mostly sucked.

Now with usb-c you can get a broader range of headphones (because other phones have gone with usb-c).

either kind needs a dac inside the dongle, or the shell of the headphone, or have a bulky external dac.

3.5mm is still king for decent wired headphones/earbuds.


Most people don't like wire and don't care about genuinely good sound through wire vs. artificially sweetened (DSP-ed) sound through Bluetooth. That's what Apple is targeting at, the mass consumer.


Wired headphones are making a comeback though. They're even considered trendy/fashionable now.

Honestly that "most people" seems to be more marketing driven than real opinion.

When you simply can't purchase one thing, then you move to the next thing.

I have several wired and wireless headphones, all for different uses, and the existence of wireless headphones don't make the wired ones less useful for their particular strenghts.


It was wrong then, it is still wrong now.

All my three phones have a headphone jack.

I don't have or plan to have an iPhone.


It still has a lot of detractors but it is hard to beat such a sheer market flex.


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


Adult websites were never banned on those, as far as I recall.


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.


sounds like you purchased your mobile phone contract as an adult[0]

That's some insane revisionism.
