Apple uses WWDC to launch assaults on Google strongholds
paxman said:I prefer Apple Maps but the inability to plot routes, with any start point is a big negative. Hope they fix that.
the next screen says:
To “your destination”
from “Your location” typed in blue
click on your location and type or choose you desired start point. Is that what you want?
If so, already a feature in Maps. -

New iPad Air review roundup: Screen and Apple Pencil Pro are standouts
Nobody reviewing this release even considers the possibility of AI advances at WDC making the Pro a better choice in every aspect. Am I alone in thinking that, in spite of the increased cost, the iPad Pro large screen model is the most versatile going forward?
I don’t have an iPad. I’m running a 2016 MBP 13 inch with only 256 ssd. I took a gamble on the ability to use an external drive to bolster the mega internal drive as in its first and only sale of Apple products in NZ, Harvey Norman had run it of stock of every other model. I was mistaken and it was a pain point every day of the last eight years. Even with an iCloud account to extend storage it was never enough. I’ve been using Mac since Mac 512 so should have known better.I have been waiting over five years for the iPad OS to run all my main Apps, Banktivity was the holdout, but OmniFocus 4, Devon Apps, and drawing Apps etc never, until recently seemed to be quite ready for the full switch. Now seems to be the sweet spot before I start dribbling on the screen. In NZ the model I desire will set me back between 4 to $5000; a lot of missed Latte’s, LOL.Is AI going to be the deciding factor? -
Tesla wants Apple's help to beat Autopilot death lawsuit
VictorMortimer said:Xed said:bobolicious said:"the car maker believes that Autopilot is safe to use, and that it only becomes a danger when drivers are not paying attention to the road"Define 'auto'...?
On the one hand, fuck Tesla and Musk's lies about Autopilot's capabilities, but on the other, autopilot doesn't mean the driver doesn't have to be aware, present, etc. Airplanes have had autopilot for over a century and yet we're still not flying airplanes without pilots in them. Well, except for the drone category and those are controlled by a remote operator. I'm assuming that if a commercial airliner crashed and the NTSB discovered that it was because the pilot was playing games you wouldn't be defending the pilot with a comment like "define 'auto'?"
I love all the automation I have in my car which allow for more relaxed and safer driving, but I understand that I'm still required to have situational awareness with those automated systems in place inside my automobile. Anything less is just asking to be a Darwin Award nominee.Turdla literally sells cars with something that they call "full self driving".Does that imply to you that a human driver still needs to be aware or present?The word "autopilot" isn't confusing to actual pilots, but it can be to the general public. But if Cessna started selling "full self flying", I guarantee you that even a licensed pilot would expect that would be a fully automated aircraft. I also guarantee the FAA wouldn't allow anything named that to be sold if it wasn't capable of full automation. -

Trump trumpets trade deal with China that's still terrible for Apple
zone said:Yes, it's a big worry, but give Tim a break. Trump is a moron and impossible to deal with... as far as the AI is concerned, Apple's OS's are complex and full of security. They are doing this the right way, slowly and correctly. However, Wall Street and investors hate this. They want it now!It would be interesting to know whether Apple’s approach to developing AI is as chaotic and uncontrolled as the other players are accused of being. Apparently there’s a large consortium of major players who are attempting to raise public consciousness of the dangers. -
