  • Behind the scenes, Siri's failed iOS 18 upgrade was a decade-long managerial car crash

    While AI can help,I can’t help feel that there is room for more modular improvements, that could just be rolled out over time. 

    Right now it feels like it’s all focus in something big, rather sone parallel iterative evolutions. For example, identifying the frequency of certain type of questions and which of the more popular ones are still resulting in an “I found this on the internet” or “I don’t know how to do that” answers, rather than Siri being tweaked to provide the specific capabilities. Heck, the fun jokes and behaviour could be evolved 

    In the end it is not about AI or not AI, but rather the user perception of Siri improving. Right now the perception is that Siri has stagnated and is still failing at common items, even after 5 years and that its hasn’t improved in it’s fun gimmicky aspects either.

  • Asahi Linux M4 support hits a roadblock because of Apple Silicon changes

    For server grade applications, many people would chose Linux over MacOS or Windows. Being able to use Mac hardware (new or used) for this would be a nice feature. I just wished Apple would quietly assist the Asahi team, since it would theoretically allow for more hardware sales and a certain goodwill.

  • How TSMC beat Intel to be Apple's main chip foundry

    Sounds like the only way for Intel to even to try to win Apple, or any other boundary would be to split. This would result in Intel becoming a chip design business only, while spinning off its foundry to a separate ISMC (Intel Semi-Conductor Manufacturing) or USSMC (US Semi-Conductor Manufacturing) business?

    Ironically, the business attitude at Intel sounds very similar to that of other US businesses, such as Boeing and John Deer, which is hurting them.

  • When to expect every Mac to get the AI-based M4 processor

    I'm I the only person who doesn't want AI on his devices? So for the interaction I have had with AI has been Artificial Stupid not intelligence. If Apple forces AI with the next operating systems I will not install it or purchase any device with it pre-installed. I already have all the intelligence I need. I use my brain.
    You probably have some form of “AI” already in your computer. The problem with the term AI is that it ends up meaning whatever the marketing team wants it to mean, independent of the tech team’s definition of AI. 

    AI can be neural networks, knowledge bases, deep statistical analysis and even a rebranding of a complex algorithm (or maybe not complex at all in certain cases). 

    The other problem with the current approach of AI is that it ends up being technology oriented development, rather than need oriented development. 

    As for using your brain, I agree using what you have, but sometimes delegating a task can free you up to do other things. Of course there are times when an AI can try to be too smart, but then again that can be a simple algorithm - too many times in MS Office that I’ve been corrected in ways I didn’t want.

  • Rumor: M4 MacBook Pro with AI enhancements expected at the end of 2024

    How many years until Apple actually has decent AI though? They're not really a leader right now. I'd wait until then to buy a current computer that could actually take advantage of AI advancements.
    What do you mean by decent AI and how do you define AI? Also AI for what purpose? 

    I ask the question because too many times the answer is usually a lot of hand waving and then the person admitting they don’t know. Also when they do decide on a simple example, then a simple algorithm will address it.
