<p>Thats what Apple wants you to think. In reality it has nothing to do with privacy. Apple could let 3rd parties tap into these APIs but only after the user clicks away a big scary message telling the user they are leaving the comfort of the apple curated garden.<p>This allows competition, but also allows privacy for those who want it. See? Simple really, but Apple being Apple dont want to let 3rd parties use its AI APIs and so we have this standoff.</p>

<p>With the amount of people that have iphones in this world, I am more than sure that somebody will be able to make it do something wrong.<p>Apple knows this which is why it is taking years to test and iron out the kinks. But somebody somewhere will make it hack a social media account, or give over somebody elses credentials, or generate illegal child images etc.</p>

<p>Its always frustrating when people describe a tech issue, and the response to that is not to discuss the issue itself, but just point out ways in which the person reply doesn't agree with what they are assuming is the original posters lifestyle choices.<p>Why waste time and effort just picking apart what someone else does with their free time? I can only assume becasue they disagree with the issues relevance, but that only goes to show the intent of the person replying. They dont care about the tech issue and just want to show why they think they are better than the person with the problem.<p>Human condition i guess!</p>

<p>> Before when I used a granny knot, shoelaces were a regular nuisance for me<p>I know, you must have said this 2 or 3 times, and you are calling me stubborn?!<p>I'm defending the granny knot because its great. Its what we teach children, and it works perfectly fine.<p>As you are repeating yourself I will too.<p>I used to struggle before I started buying proper good quality laces. Now that I do, granny knots stay strong all the time and there is no need for anything else.<p>I am very happy with this by the way, you do not need to convince me otherwise. I am not trying to convince you to use them, only telling you that the opinion you are spouting on granny knots is incorrect.</p>

<p>Lol, the fact you are name checking trainer brands in a conversation about lace quality tells all.<p>A single granny knot suffices fine with decent quality laces.<p>The ones that come with trainers are trash.</p>

<p>I wouldnt class 'masterful' as a positive adjective personally.<p>EDIT: Downvotes? Not sure why. I would say Darth Vader is masterful of the force, and even that Donald Trump is masterful at being provocative. Masterful is not definitively positive or negative, it just describes being very good at something.</p>

<p>Why do people care so much about single core performance? We are all professionals here and I bet most of our workloads are multi core. I get that these new arm chips from Apple and Qualcomm are great at one thing at a time, but for professional workloads high end x64 chips still cannot be beaten on the desktop.</p>
