People were doing silly things with expensive MacBooks all along. It is akin to a non-techie parent saying "what are you doing with your expensive computer ..."

> paying them much less to do the same damn job.

That isnt true. A SWE engineer working at the same level at Redmond gets paid the same band irrespective of visa status.

Is this going to be a serious project? No.

Is this going to be maintained? Nope

Nevertheless this and many others are showing what is possible. Much akin to how someone ports doom onto a microwave.

We'll look back at this time with great fondness when we collectively discovered a whole new gear.

I'm confused, so if open source is working as expected then what's the point of the blogpost?

Unless they have their own data centers, they are still hosting it on top of AWS or something.

I get that they are trying to market this but it is a bit disingenuous.

I believe the objection is because they are constantly negative, even before LLMs were a fraction of its usefulness today.

Every technology has its negative parts, but breathlessly pointing out the negatives gets really old.

Wasnt it just some dude writing a doc? That's hardly a Google (The Company)'s position.

An accusation wrapped as a genuine question. Bravo.

Let me turn this around to you. Do you think your timelines on Reddit/X are indicative of the tech scene of {London,China,India,Indonesia}? What makes you think you know of every popular project out there?

Paywall is fine. Journalism costs $$ and more often than not, someone posts a archive.$x link here anyway.

My question is how is this related to technology

Why? Isnt the API key scoped to a project and specifically made for this?

Are you confusing this with an OAuth token or something?

I dont think Apple is sleeping on AI, they are trying really hard. Look at their recent announcements - AI features everywhere.

> For smaller OEMs, selling 150k flagships extra yearly is a pretty sizable increase.

It is but the cost of making that phone is nearly the same for Samsung and Motorola. You're discounting the fixed costs here.

If it takes $10M to produce a phone, the numbers need to make sense before it makes profit. And you need to have deep pockets to keep doing it until it becomes good.

So yes, 150k in first year might be red, but you must be willing to put up another $10M next year and another .. to slowly get to say $500k in year 5 before it turns profitable. Will Motorola have that appetite? maybe not.

I understand the frustration but shows a lack of critical thinking. Esp when you start with 'How about ..'.

This blogpost is about frontend performance. It'll be akin to you commenting on a swift blogpost saying 'How about Airpods noise cancellation'. Sure both are Apple, but they are wildly different teams.

Ads in Apple Maps. How is it user friendly?

Honest question. If iAds were so good, why didnt it succeed?

When something is successful its all Apple. When something fails, its just that others dont get it.

Do you afford the same benefit to other people/companies? Why is Apple so special?

How so? This smells like Apple Distortion Field. "Yeah our ads are better. Its the other guys' ads that are bad".

The problem with Apple is they make statements that they walk back gleefully at a moments notice.

- Nobody wants a bigger phone - iPhone Pro Maxes

- Nobody wants foldables - iPhone Duo

- We've simplified the product portfolio .. ahem.

- AI is bad - Ours is called Apple Intelligence. Totally different thing.

Think Different indeed.
