  • Apple's headset drastically changed over time & top execs are skeptical

    larryjwlarryjw
    until it is at least announced it's best not to have an opinion. Same with Project Titan. Rumors are just that -- rumors.

  • Apple Vision Pro is already a win for Apple & consumers

    larryjwlarryjw
    Development platforms are gearing up for the Vision Pro. Wolfram products such as WolframAlpha and Mathematica support are in development, and I expect Julia and Python will be offering hooks into the product.

  • ChatGPT might quit the EU rather than comply with regulations

    larryjwlarryjw
    When first installed, the ChatGPT app highlights the warning that it may return false information, 
    The May 10 Lancet published the following article, along with detailed supplemental addendum showing the interaction with ChatGPT which anyone can then reproduce to verify the results. 
    The dangers of using large language models for peer review

    ChatGPT responded with totally made up material, sounding quite authoritative. 

    Banning ChatGPT would seem a good idea. It would give alternative AI systems which actually can tell the truth an opportunity to be developed -- if that can be done. 

    Large Language Models like GPT-4 are inherently lying machines.

  • Apple Vision Pro could help surgeons see vital data during operations

    This place is cringe when bulls*t articles like this appear. This tech already exists, has existed for years, and is in use in countless hospitals around the globe.
    Apple didn't invent anything new. 
    I'm sure Apple has many patents of the Vision Pro. That means they DID invent something new according to the patent office.

  • Biden administration: Apple & Broadcom should quit stalling and pay Caltech $1.1 billion i...

    larryjwlarryjw
    Accepting the above at face value, the validity of the cal tech patents have not be adjudicated. The US and Cal Tech argument is purely procedural and not substantive. 

    I, for one, don't want patents to exist which violate basic patent law concepts such as prior art.

  • TSMC sends more Taiwanese workers to finish Arizona plant

    JP234 said:
    Previously, TSMC engineers in Taiwan have complained that Americans don't work hard enough, and "are the most difficult to manage."

    So did anyone else see the documentary film "American Factory?" Same scenario except the company is run by a PRC businessman who buys a closed GM plant in Ohio, and makes auto glass. He hires Americans laid off by GM, saving the town from economic death, but wages are half what they made before they made nothing. He had the same complaints, and add in unionization efforts, when American workers are expected to work extra hours without pay. And of course the bosses are all Chinese and have the same racist tendencies as the Americans who work for them.

    But apparently they've reached accord, or at least detente, since Fuyao Glass America is still operating there.
    The movie was interesting. As regards to racist tendencies I noticed typical management ignorance. The Americans had a much harder time working near the furnaces, That's not laziness but basic physics/biology. The Americans are substantially larger than their Chinese counterparts. Large animals cannot dissipate heat as efficiently as small animals -- elephants have big ears for a reason. The larger American men working near the ovens simply dissipate the heat of the furnaces as well as Chinese workers. 

    Wouldn't it be nice, and surprising if managers actually had some basic knowledge?

  • Apple Watch import ban stay opposed by ITC

    larryjwlarryjw
    Why does it seem that the ITC is a party to this case?

    They should have no business before the federal court, making arguments to the Court. The federal court can read and consider the ITC's decision, but only Masimo and Apple are parties.

    What am I missing?

  • Apple Watch import ban saga kicked off a decade ago by an early-morning email to Tim Cook

    larryjwlarryjw
    Regardless, the issue is whether there was a patent violation. How it came about is not relevant. 

    A patent violation is a patent violation, accidental or purposeful. Defenses can be brought, such as "there is only one way to do this" or "it's obvious from prior art", or ... 

    I haven't read any analysis of why there was not a licensing agreement in the first place, once litigation was a possibility.

  • Twitter has now rebranded as 'X'

    larryjwlarryjw
    Giving Kanye West a run for his money. Is it Ye? Later Xe? Just a glaring nutcase.

  • YouTube and Spotify also won't offer any apps on Apple Vision Pro

    larryjwlarryjw
    I get Google being anti-apple as they are a direct competitor.

    But why is Spotify opposed to Apple products? Hardly makes sense to limit your customer base.
