Like search bars.
If you think of LLMs as a thing to replace search bars then this kind of makes sense.
It’s amazing how context matters on these things, because I was pretty peeved for her when I saw the original article.
Her comment feels a little callous and manipulative with this context, but I am going to give the benefit of the doubt that she didn’t have these details when she made her post.
4·3 months agoI haven’t read either, but my boyfriend loves Sue Grafton’s books so I read ‘A’ is for Alibi, and I found it to be a thoroughly enjoyable time.
And King is an excellent storyteller. I loved his books as a kid but haven’t read The Shining.
Are there any other considerations? Are these genres or authors new to your group or continuing along a theme or pattern? What types of books do you like usually? Etc?
Fortunately for you, this lawsuit doesn’t involve the Mac.
Fortunately for the rest of us, Apple doesn’t have anywhere near a monopoly in any industry, which is honestly where this case should be dismissed.
If you have to take a specific month out of the year, limit the region, and define a category as “performance” to get your numbers fudged and you still only get to 70% you’re not exactly making a strong case for a monopoly.
154·3 months agoHis point was that none of the actors cast in the film actually come from the fictional country of Wakanda.
He did his research on it and everything.
His last two paragraphs and your entire comment are baseless assertions that are at best pointless cynicism (“they’re doing the right thing but only to make money” doesn’t counter the fact that they’re doing the right thing) and at worst it’s regurgitating current American right-wing propaganda (Branding “inclusion and diversity” as bad or outright illegal is a current right-wing political agenda item. It is designed to harm minorities by removing programs that have proven effective at lowering racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. in schools and the workplace).
It’s not a good look for either of you.
I had forgotten that he was a white guy so I went to look up the character… and was surprised to find out that they actually turned Nick Fury into Samuel L. Jackson in the comics 7 years BEFORE casting him to play the character.

I tried to keep it super subtle but you got me!
That’s fair. Corporations are people. And people are the worst.
Thank you!
Searching for what you said got me this recent article which does a better job of explaining all the issues and complaints:
Not that I have anything against women
Ahh, the misogynist’s “no homo.”
While I agree with what you’re saying, Disney didn’t change the gender or racial identities of the characters he’s complaining about.
Ms. Marvel, Monica Rambeau, and Carol Danvers as Captain Marvel are all very well cast for their roles. They’re practically plucked out of the pages of the comics, and match on race and gender identity from the source.
And Black Panther is about a super hero protector of a nation of black people. The answer to this racist’s question is literally in the name of the movie.
Yes yes. Apple Bad pls upvote me.
But in this case I pointed out some things that are wrong with the DOJ’s complaints, one thing that is valid, and asked questions about two that nobody, and my searches, have answered. They seem to also be completely wrong on the DOJ side.
I doubt you use their products or will be affected by them being altered in any way, but I do and will, so this case interests me as do the details.
Right?
The complaints that they did list, many aren’t valid anymore. But they didn’t call out a lot of common complaints.
Let me put it this way, superapps rely on harvesting and exploiting massive amounts of user data for profit, which is much worse than anything that Apple does. That aspect should be banned.
The quality of the service or content they provide is not my preference, but that’s not what I was referring to as hot garbage in this case.
Edit: an upstream comment led me to be able to find this article which does a way better job of explaining the DOJ complaints:
Honestly, I would be happy if Apple addressed all of these things as long as doing so has absolutely zero chance of degrading my experience as their customer.
My original comment:
Apple already announced that it’ll be supporting RCS sometime this year. Cloud streaming games have been available on iOS for years now, but prior they had to be a Web App and as of earlier this year that is no longer the case. Now they can be a regular app in the app store.
Superapps are hot garbage and should be banned. But WeChat exists on iPhone so I am honestly confused about this one. What features is it not allowed to have?
The NFC and wallet issue is a thing still.
The watch thing is a head scratcher. What API does Apple Watch currently use which 3rd party watches don’t have access to? Because it seems like Apple is being blamed for other companies not making better products.
Doesn’t it require a separate process to be using the cryptographic algorithm in the first place in order to fill the cache in question?
If it’s done in-process of a malicious app that you’re running, why wouldn’t the app just steal your password and avoid all of this in the first place?
An efficient and fast version of this in Javascript would be worrisome. But as-is it’s not clear if this can be optimized to go faster than 1-2 uninterrupted hours of processing, so hopefully that doesn’t end up being the case.
14·4 months agoAmusingly enough, no.
This was after Toy Story 3 released but before Brave.
I haven’t tried LLMs myself, but even completely made up garbage would be better than today’s search engine results.
