Is not what is it. It is all you can take in. There is a ton of science around dedicated to cognitive development. If you want to check out. I am sure in the near future, a lot of it will be excluded from the corporate datasets.

I really don't get this. Here, I assume the median intelligence of a reader is enough to connect the dots already. But sadly, critical thinking is met with the usual jerk knee reaction algorithm.

Nah. I would wait for an ink display with 60 fps. SaaS is not the future of computing. I need control. For artistic purposes, an iPad and Wacom tablet are enough. But cool product for a rich audience. Why you call it "computer" and then a tablet. Just call it a tablet with apps in the cloud. :)

Greed is contagious. But looking at Closed AI and seeing Azure all over it is not easy to ignore. Looking at hostile takeover of FOSS at GitHub to train commercial product Copilot is another thing. We all knew the strategy when they bought it, and we all complied with the move. They have power because we refuse to challenge the lack of intervention from authorities. It is all a big scam.

If you have some form of financial independence in your life, some form of the grid backup, you know what is all this about. Did you think the richest of the elite will give their kids this form of education? Seriously? My kids learn in a classical way. No aid, no electronic devices, no "modern" bullshit. Critical thinking is a must in a world of corporations greed and digital dystopia. The school mandatory program is just a form of training ground. They learn how to see the real problems around and how to adapt to ever-changing hypocrisy. Never trusted a word coming from the corporate monster Microsoft. Never looked at Bill Gates as more than a greedy manipulator and sociopath. Downvotes don't change the reality:)

Let's clarify some things. I am fully capable technically. VPS, Next.js site, Stripe, and so on. My complaint is cultural first, megacorp censorship second. Read the part with 17–18 centuries nude art. Think about the society in those times. Compare with today.

So you solved the issue? Right?

A little off-topic. As an artist, I have a big problem. Look at 17-18 centuries art. Nudity is not a cardinal sin. Today, in the era of OnlyFans and porn normalization, posting nude art is censured publicly. I cannot post anatomy tutorials on YouTube because some puritan soul will see things that fire the eternal rage. How is this democracy? How is this an advanced society? We have a serious issue with society values alignment.

So I am the only one stupid enough to have a private cloud? And the biggest and most successful corporations have trusted their intellectual property to Microsoft and Google? Boy, I am living under the rock. It is time to break all the walls. Right?

I will ask again: The corporate data in the cloud? Sells, relationships, confidential information. I am crazy, or the world is getting ridiculous? First killing copyright. Now what? Privacy? Security?

How many billions and tons of water is wasted on this abomination and copyright theft?

Why? I enjoy the chaos. It will be fun when someone from corporate headquarters optimize by removing middle management and knowledge workers.

After all, what is the economy? Do you need meritocracy and capitalism? If you ask Sam, the most important thing is world control trough apparatchiks centralized government, CDBC, social rating, surveillance and obedience. This is the end goal.

Clearly, the quality and hallucinations of LLM's cannot be an obstacle towards the big goal of the corporate bosses. You think, this is something new? Think again. Some of us have suffered under communistic utopia. We know how it ends. It starts with big slogans: always for the people. It ends with: You will own nothing and you will be happy. Check the history, kids.:)

Did you read the article? It is full of questions. I use Apple computers since 1998. And I am still not a fanboy. I am a user.

Calling a spade a spade is actually a much-needed improvement in today's landscape.

Let me start with this. My initial reaction from the first iPad still holds. Why not touch macOS? There is just one answer: Profit. The business is not in solving user problems. It is to create a shiny toy with a limitation which you promise to solve in the near future. I moved away from iPad for drawing and just use it for a second screen on the go. For mobility, I have a smartphone. It is getting ridiculous in an Apple camp. You introduce the last processor on a iPad? But iPad still is not a full laptop or desktop replacement? Why?

Another new hit from his excellency Sam the Galactic Conmaster? WoW. The future is bright, right?:)

Idiocracy in full swing, dear Marvin.

You cannot talk brand identity here. Most of the people here don't know what pays those big salaries. They think that clean code, scrum, pair programming, CI, CD are the critical points of a corporation.

Yes, I am arrogant. Because I read here from 2008, and I know some things. Apple is just too big of a corporation to be adequate anymore.

This ad is a total f*k up. Apple is build over the work and ideas of creative people. This is the direct result of nepotism in a corporate ladder and design by committee.

Jerk knee reactions. Typical for HN from 2015 onwards.

There was a time when here knowledge and experience did not hinder the new ideas at all. My entire career was a result of this process in early 2008.

Today we live in inflated VC realm of promises, big statements and low delivery. It is not about demanding on a side lines.

Some of us still produce quality by following the proven methodology from the past. To push to market R&D projects and demand applause is pathetic. And no. There is no place for PC in this. It is about time to wake up from the AI Utopia. And the cleansing process is going on as we speak. Corporations reached the limitation of participation trophies and DEI agenda.

Too much VC money into a gazillion startups without proper management. What can go wrong? This is the result of tech cultism and lack of proper production standards. Design Thinking is like some form of forbidden knowledge today.

So much “disruption” with no clear product use case. AI is the new dotcom boom. 190 percent hype. 10 percent actual implementation.

The startups have expectation to capitalize on testing with early adopters and naive consumers. The big companies fake their demos for likes and stock prices.

What a conundrum. We need people with real skills and clear vision. We need Skunk Works team quality to achieve something of substance.

No. The stupidity has shown. Clearly.

>Stop bullshitting, dude.

Since when, reality is bullshit? Dude?

I have a thick skin, kid. I have seen things and done things in my life to know something about the military. Aside of stupidity of the Rada to prohibit any form of negotiation. Aside of almost perfect peace negotiations with Russia, ruined by MIC and Boris Johnson.

This is the historical reality of war. There is no technology who will remove the need of a soldier on foot to put a flag on a territory. War is logistic. War is human resource intensive. Those who have more well-trained, organized and supplied soldiers win. Currently, there is no meaningful air-defense in Ukraine.

The Russian army has a calculated approach in which they bomb with FAB's, FPV's and artillery before ground operation. There is no adequate way to replenish the lost soldiers for Ukraine. Russians are plenty.

War must be stopped by Ukraine suing for peace. "Suing for", in this older sense of the phrase, means "pleading or petitioning for".

> General Christopher Cavoli, the commander of European Command, told the House Armed Services Committee on April 10 that the severity of the situation in Ukraine “can’t be overstated” as troops on the battlefield run short of ammunition and as the country’s air-defense capabilities are depleted.

Ukrainian troops have been rationing ammunition as Russian forces outfire them at a rate of about 5-to-1, he told the committee.

“That will immediately go to 10-to-1 in a matter of weeks. We are not talking about months. We are not talking hypothetically…. We are talking about weeks,”

He obviously forgot the most important part. WELL TRAINED SOLDIERS. Money and weapons will not change the outcome.

So you have the facts, kid? Are you sure?

Other Kremlin propagandists: Judge Napolitano. Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer. Prof. Jeffrey Sachs. Larry Johnson. Ray McGovern. Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski. Go arrest them, kid. It is democracy or freedom. According to the always great Joe Biden. So everyone who follows facts is a "vatnik"? Ukrainians cannot renew their passports when abroad. This is winning, I suppose. PEACE IS WINING. PEACE. War is always a loss. And when you have no chance is the only way forward.

With shovels and washing machine chips I see:) Please open any map and see. Easy way: Check Weeb Union channel. But please, be seated.

Yep, you can check a thousand videos of those bottles with AI burning tanks, BMP’s, m777, etc. Or you can continue living in the Hollywood Metaverse.

My country is part of NATO. Nobody asked us. No referendum. No voting. Nothing. The political class is filling their pockets with money, while propaganda is beyond the level of USSR and Nazi Germany.

Some of us have military service behind our backs. Some of us lived under a communist dictatorship, and we know the smell of leftist bullshit.

Live in your tech bubble, but know that East Europeans see clearly who is the reason for this bloodbath. And when the time comes, we will not die for your corporations as Ukrainians.:)

The problem you have, dear Americans is called MIC. Just quoting one of your presidents: >“In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.”

So many wars for profit. History knows best that there is no free lunch. But I suppose consuming propaganda without a critical thinking and effort for facts is good for the business. By the way Zala Aero is the current leader in this space. That's why Ukrainian counteroffensive was a failure.

I still wonder how the smartest people in the world are blind from the inevitable future in which not only cognitive abilities of the masses will decline, but every technology around will be locked and inaccessible. Why this urge for "progress" by big corporations? Is this technology reversible? How is aligned to collective human values? What data is in the training set? Why trust someone without public weights? What will be the value of human knowledge and expertise in this new "economy"? Why target the artistic and creative people first? Who will watch the watchers? Are we collectively lost our minds?

>I don't think it's supportable to make a blanket declaration that all developers have the same tastes or interests.

Let's make a poll. Why, when CSS is advanced as never before, devs are using Tailwind?

Getting a new car with a new design is a waste of time and resources. What is new after all? You have all you need. A box with engine, wheels and steering wheel.

I am curious, what car model and from what year this gentleman uses? I hope everything around him is only made by following his advice and principle.

There is a problem in UX/UI design. Twofold problem.

Developers hate to work on frontend implementation, and designers have mediocre knowledge about their craft and refuse to think objectively.

Both of the problems can be solved with actual effort in education.

Instead, big corps are wasting money and energy to replace all of them. AI will solve all of this by removing capitalism, human expertise, and design. Right?

Sidenote. Today, I have tried seven times to update my Mac Mini. After hours of fight with Apple logic, I give up. What's going on there?

So it begins. John, where are you?

I avoid the term AI. We have a machine learning. A lot of viable implementation of it. And text calculators which are predictive text lossy compressors. Done. No AI hype:)
