Just can't see how any person at Apple thought a push notification from Wallet with an ad was a good idea, ever.

They already have strict guidelines around push notifications that you are not supposed to use them as ads, so Apple breaking this rule is especially egregious for all of those that try and follow Apple's development rules.

I wonder who actually got these notifications though, as I never saw one and I use Wallet pretty heavily - I may just have missed it though, since it seems like a lot of people complaining.

I asked Gemini, Claude and Copilot, and each had no problem implementing FizzBuzz in CSS.

I'm sure those bots can do a generic FizzBuzz, but there is no way they can write a program that follows the specifications above which require collecting user Input and providing customizability.

Actually, they last for 30 years at 80% capacity or better.

At least in America, it is illegal to install cost-effective solar panels.

Biden and Trump both agreed on high tariffs on solar, and American manufacturers have no incentive to be more efficient.

That's an obvious market opportunity for fake AI friends to keep people company.

Is Apple going to put ANYTHING in this release that is even remotely useful to me?

There is a lot of stuff under the hood in the new SDKs that will make for better apps, like better direct connection between devices even if they are not on WiFi. Also expanded app intents make widgets more and more useful, and App Data more accessible to on-device intelligence.

And speaking of that, apps being able to use the general purpose AI will lead to a lot of useful apps that don't feed your data to ChatGPT.

However there are some direct things that are better. Photos is finally usable again.

My son is in college.

He says the dorks run Windows, the cool liberal arts kids use Macs, and the techies run Linux on their laptops.

He's a techie, so he uses Linux.

I probably wouldn't hire anyone who listed CSS (or HTML) as one of their programming languages.

I would send them a programming exercise.

"This task is to be completed using only the following programming language which we have chosen from your profile:
CSS. Your solution must use only CSS; no Java, no Javascript, etc."

Assignment:
Write the program fizzbuz.

Program Specifications:
When started the program asks the user to input a Starting number and then an Ending number. Both inputs should be integers.

After the user completes input: Display on the screen the difference between the Starting number and the Ending number as the Difference number.

If the difference number is greater than zero, then the program loops using an iterator beginning at the Starting number and incrementing up to the Ending number inclusive by 1 each time printing the number followed by a message on the line by itself for each iteration within the loop.

The following rules shall be used to determine the message printed at each iteration of the loop described above:

For whole numbers divisible by 8 the message shall be Fizz.

For whole numbers the message shall be Buzz.

For all other positive integers the message shall be Nop

For any other number the message shall be Err

Upon loop completion the program shall display on a line by itself the name of each Message that appeared with numbers, and a count of the total number of appearances.

The messages to be displayed shall not be hardcoded for any specific counter value to a specific message option. The user should be given the option but not requirement to specify or change the messages used before the loop starts.

Not rigged.

And your proof for that is? Because I clearly explained to you how you can see it was rigged in the video they provided. You need to at least explain that.

This is the most recent iteration of the 'Teslas plowing into kids' demonstration:>

Pretty hilarious assertion, in that first link you can see from the screen on the car in the first photo of the article they are not in self-driving mode as it has the map up. Just because a guy has his hands off the steering wheel does not mean the car is self driving you know... again zero proof.

These days you sadly have to assume anything negative about Tesla is a lie without substantial proof to the contrary, as there are far too many people willing to outright lie to put Tesla in a negative light. So I reject all of your links as lies unless you can show me any that clearly indicate the car is in self driving mode when it hits someone (that was a flaw in Mark Robler's video also).

It's really just so sad that your utter and all-consuming hatred of Tesla has you covering for a bunch of liars, and not even competent ones to boot!

This is my last message, respond as you will but if all you have to offer in response is lies then why waste time talking to you?

New Jersey is making Tesla remove 64 superchargers along a major turnpike - even though anyone can use the chargers there.

So I question if the article is just trying to paint a bright picture atop a more confusing scene.

The political left's hatred of Musk and by extension Tesla may well end up killing electric cars altogether.

Tesla should just fix its website so people can change their address without using a phone.

Sounds like UPS needs the accent-fixing AI described in TFA.

They don't mean a password reset on your laptop.

They're talk'n about resetting a forgotten password at a bank or other financial institution. You often need to call and undergo an interrogation to confirm your identity.

There's no reason an AI can't do that at least as well as a human.

A Pew Research poll last year found that 42% of Republicans are in favor of legalizing recreational pot. 72% of Democrats are in favor.

Pew poll on legalizing marjijuana

Rigged demo. Big clue is that it was posted on "Bluesky" for one thing...

You can tell it was faked by the supposed screen not showing the man standing on the left side of the road, clearly visible the whole time. They obviously captured the screen from when there was no dummy present and then overlaid that without self driving enabled at all.

AI stoked cars belong on closed streets, not on public roads killing the innocent.

Wow did you miss the point. We already know that statistically, modern AI cars get into far fewer accidents than humans do.

We also know for sure that AI cars have much better visibility than human drivers, since they can see all sides of a car clearly with zero blind spots. Perfect for city driving which is where the taxis will operate, and driving the accident rate even lower,

You just sound like some backwater amish luddite. Only I'll bet even the Amish are not afraid of AI like you are.

Robotaxis won't be any cheaper than other taxis

Pretty odd take to say a taxi without a driver cannot be cheaper but you do you I guess!
