>They are saying that this result will not resolve the disputes, because it doesn't address the core thing in dispute: that there are meaningful differences that people actually ca…

I believe this is a clue to where the GP post is coming from: we can't, therefore the study must be flawed.

Whoops, yeah you're right. I forgot for a moment that people who buy one of these things are probably posting everything that they do with it.

I know what you mean, but there are plenty of mundane and labor-intensive tasks in art too. Ever try to make background characters or landscapes for a video? It's stuff that nobody…

That means that for the 9 people interviewed that returned the devices, Bloomberg would have had to contact 900 AVP buyers just to find those 9 (1%). Either that, or the ratio is o…

Who is "they"? The content creators that you allude to are not the people in the article.

There will still be a job for animators, at the very least. They'll flesh out the armature (skeleton) animations, and AI will paint over it, like a style transfer. Imo human-driven…

It's funny that this post is considered dupes of those 2, but those 2 are not dupes of each other.

I'm sure you can find conflicting information, but here is a data point that aligns with my own experiences: "Human contact is becoming a luxury good." https://www.nytimes.com/2019…

Collecting patents is not proof of a great idea. Exhibit A: Google's patent on a "sticky car" that is covered with adhesive, to stick to pedestrians when you hit them https://paten…

The AVP is one of the most out of touch products I've ever seen from a respected brand, and I can almost hear Steve Job's scathing criticisms of it, based on everything I know abou…

The creation of the Vision Pro, and now this direct assault on the open web, makes me believe that Apple is no longer has the vision to lead the industry effectively. It's a shame …

See my edit above, I never said "a few pennies" or "a few cents", I said "cents" intended as a relative contrast to "millions." We don't know how much a company is worth if it is e…

It's an incomplete solution.

>You think the total valuation of all companies divided by the total number of people comes out to a few cents? No, where did I say that? The person I was replying to wants to shar…

No need to be condescending about it. I mentioned the Simpsons because the author referenced the Simpsons.

It's like the Monkey's Paw from the Simpsons: you can have a program that understands what you mean, but you can't understand how it really works. It's just another tool in the too…

A social contract is not defined by a LICENSE file. Developers are under no obligation to create new software for a hostile company's products. Let's see how many vision pro apps g…

I don't mean to imply that the OSS maintainers are owed anything, because I don't believe that. There is still a social contract without anyone being owed anything. You haven't rea…

The social contract has been that these big companies benefit from the free work of open source maintainers, and they continue to work together to support open standards. This late…

>PWAs aren’t really in Apple’s financial interest to begin with, so f-it Translation: Apple hates developers who believe in open tech, despite being built on mountains of foundatio…

The amusing thing is that on-homescreen PWAs were the only way iOS supported web push notifications. They could 100% do it in the browser, like every other browser does. But they w…
