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 tig…

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 s…

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 …

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 crea…

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 conten…

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.

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.

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. …

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 te…

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…

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 th…

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…
