  • India says AirTag 'digital terror' is first stalking case in country

    Sadly, this is a drop in the ocean of the trouble women face in India. Improving their lot will take significant social change.

  • How Apple is already using machine learning and AI in iOS

    The forefront of public perception regarding AI in 2023 is occupied by Microsoft's AI-powered Bing and Google's Bard.

    My experience is that ChatGPT is recognised and mentioned much more widely than these two.

    The hype about AI is overblown. When I first learned about decision trees (make a list of possible outcomes, assign them a probability and a cost, then calculate to find the "best" option) I was taught that the trick is to get the estimated probability as accurate as possible - that with experience your estimates will get more accurate. The current buzz is happening because people have figured out a way to analyse huge amounts of data and build a bunch of probability lookup tables in a short enough period of time to be feasible and at a low enough cost to be justifiable.

    At the end of the day, it's all just computation. The algorithms are not too complicated but the steps are computationally intensive and to understand how it works you need to be comfortable with matrix multiplication and statistics (e.g. this YouTube Video). The thing I really struggle to wrap my head around is why the machine doesn't have to show how it arrived at an answer - all of my teachers were very particular about that part of the process.

  • Apple, USPTO settle lawsuit over 'Smart Keyboard' trademark

    It's a shame the USPTO wasn't this diligent about "App Store."

  • Game Mode isn't enough to bring gaming to macOS, and Apple needs to do more

    Mobile gaming is the largest market now. It generates more revenue than PC/console gaming combined. So criticizing Apple Arcade for having a lot of titles that are mobile oriented is basically not seeing the forest for the trees when it comes to gaming. Apple isn't behind the curve. It's the companies that are primarily in the PC/console space that are behind the curve. For example, when Microsoft bought Activision/Blizzard, what was the 2nd highest revenue generating franchise that they acquired? Not Diablo. Not Warcraft. Not Overwatch. Candy Crush was #2Only Call of Duty brought in more $$ than a mobile title.
    Ford generates more revenue than Ferrari; which car do people desire the most? This is about the quality of the gaming experience and while there are excellent games on mobile the vast majority are devoted to revenue generation rather than gameplay; Apple's commitment to a "magical" experience for users is not being realised in the gaming space.
