What in the world?? Surely there must be something more than "generate a HTML page with 500 elements". Any edge cloud hosting lets you do that for free.


Please take a look at the percentage of paying Android users. It just does not compare. It's useless to count 2 billion users in third world countries who never have and never will pay anything in-app.


It happened a murder of times.


Ha! Shall I bookmark this for the eventual wiki page?


Wouldn't the 737 Air have a lower chance of hitting debris head on?


That one can only maintain the 520mph speed for a short time; crawling across the Atlantic under thermal throttling makes you long for the zeppelins.


I had my first digital camera in 2003 and my first videocall-capable phone in 2004 (Nec e313). I was a kid


The HTML-only web has been dead for years. Documents may be safe, but publishing websites that work without JS is war with no winners.


Kinda funny, I use my credit card for daily transactions because I know it's never declined. On the other hand, I might not have enough cash on me at all times.


Why not both? Why limit your financial vessels?


I do use both, but cash has a price to me (no free withdrawals in my country)


> Ain't nobody got time to pick models and compare features

Then don't? Seems like a weird thing to complain about.

I just use whatever's available. I like Claude for coding and ChatGPT for generic tasks, that's the extent of my "pick and compare"


I think its a valid complaint. Who wants to constantly spend overhead on maintaining what's current without clear definitions and adding uncertainty to your tooling. It's a total PITA.


Then don't? I don't think it's a valid complaint at _all_.

It's totally fine to just pick one tool (chatGPT, Claude, Gemini) and just use whatever the best default they allow you to use. You'll get 90% of the benefits and not have to think at all.

AI is new and developing at breakneck pace. You can't complain that you want to get bleeding edge without having to do research or change workflows. That's already unrealistic for "normal" fields. It's absurd to expect for AI.


We diverge on opinions here - most peoples workflow doesn't revolve around the current distinctions between AI. Having to incorporate that into their workflow is a PITA - I understand some people live off that and thats their bread and butter. Good for them for finding their competitive advantage. For every other builder out there who builds instead of integrates the newest AI model - its a PITA.


Check all the comparisons on their website. They're not comparing their products to the previous gen, they're comparing them to years-old system.

They could sell you a downgrade and still stay 2x M1 Pro performance (it was 4x from last year)

Apple is a marketing company made to sell stuff.


> Apple is a marketing company made to sell stuff.

That's like... every company? Are you saying they don't have good tech?


> Are you saying they don't have good tech?

I will, yes. If macOS supported Vulkan, then those Intel Macs would have GPU acceleration too, and thus it would be a fair fight comparing it to MPS. Apple's tech stack is so miserly and poor that they never supported the common GPGPU libraries that literally every single OEM is and was shipping.

Apple's tech is appalling. Are you saying they exercise good judgement on behalf of their users?


I see this is them following their own differentiation and integration which I'd say is good for their users. (Personally I don't care about Vulkan support for example.)

So saying their tech is "appealing" is a matter of opinion and I'd argue something a small minority of their users care about. But I don't know.


Gp is saying their primary expertise is advertising. It's hard to watch any apple announcement and not notice how utterly hyperbolic they are at touting their own achievements.

Ya sure, you can say that every company must do that, but apple are exceptional at it. Once you start noticing the unlabeled performance charts, the missing baselines, the comparing with ages old models, the disingenuous "86x" metrics, the whole show becomes cringe worthy.


Marketing companies don't sell their own stuff, they sell others' stuff.


I've always disliked Apple because of its aggressive marketing..


Does not apply.

Cambodia is just a proxy, a land where the Chinese gangs act with impunity. Earned with slave work, money is laundered in casinos and no Cambodian is seeing a cent of it.

Might as well say "nearly unfathomable amount of money in Congo" because that's just how disconnected the money is to the country.


No, some Cambodians are seeing a very sizeable benefit, probably the standard 20% that the leading family cream off of any major investment in the country.

And BTW it is not just the Chinese, there are innumerable other operators, including a whole bunch of smaller 'startups'.

They operate because Cambodia openly accepts it, and takes a cut, not because they are somehow so clever as to disguise the real business being conducted in closed-up apartment blocks.
