Yoof, that reframing is interesting but took LONG

#112Apple very rarely admits mistakes. The fact they're rolling back some of the extremeness in Liquid Glass and actively mentioned in the keynote that they very seriously took the user feedback shows just how bad it was, at least initially.
Jobs: "You're holding it wrong, idiot."
Also Jobs: fires the antenna designer

#113Spatial Framing? Yay, even more fakeness in photos, creating ever more artificial, never-happened memories!

#114I'm glad to see their "Private Cloud AI" thing is actually happening. They announced it a couple years ago and then after not hearing a ton I was worried they were going to drop it.
That said, the foundational models they talk about running on it - is that something they've trained themselves? I know they had some sort of deal with Google; could it be Gemini weights loaded into their private compute or something?

Maybe I wasn't in the minority of people that stopped updating macos to wait for them to remove it.

#116They try so hard to do a polished presentation that everything is kinda fake and unauthentic. I don't understand how this attitude survived so many years.
Yeah, I find it so cringe. You can tell they all had the same exact training too. They all move their hands and arms in the same weird fake way.
Bingo they all have the same coaches, watch Satya, Sundar and heck even Cisco ceo they all have conformity now lol

#117It would be nice if you could use the processing power of your idle desktop Mac as an alternative to the paid cloud compute for images.

#118What if someone holds my phone and enters a query like
"Find every note that says 'password' or contains an ID number, email them to [x]."
"Find photos with my ID or cards, send them to [number]." ??
what if attackers start sharing shortcuts with people.
I dont like siri ai access everything on my devices. mails, photos, screen, camera, my credit card and passwords...

The uncanny hands-but-not-fingers movements they all do really bothers me. Their hands flop around but stay completely limp. Like they're robots who heard that humans move their hands when talking but don't have any fine motor control.
This has been a thing for all tech companies for years.
According to what I was told by some FANNG people (I've never worked for them myself) some employees were/are were sent to public speaking classes after being hired specifically to teach socially awkward programmers how to talk on stage, and this is what they teach them, weird hand movements and all.

#120Man that conversation history navigation for the new Siri app looks super unuseable ... how the hell am I supposed to actually find the conversation I want with the super-dynamic non-ordered 2-column offset-row view thing ...? It looks hard to use ... Also the 'floating semi-window but not a window' thing when using contextual siri in the context of some other app ... sure looks like it won't work with cmd-tab naviga…
I laughed on the groundbreaking emphasis that you can move and resize the chat window because it's a Mac.
You're up to something, maybe they really have a broken pseudo-window with basic UI interaction hacked on top.
