I wasn’t expecting to personally know two of the authors, but having Accelerate included makes sense.

"I'm a volunteer, my job is to choose where I volunteer my time, and I won't be volunteering it for free for this".

This would have me astroturfing it out the window after seeing this nonsense.

The output in their Mesa project bug report is outright misinformation, it sounds completely plausible but is absolute nonsense. This is the true danger of AI, it is so convincingly confident that people forget to question it, or in this case, don't even have the tools to begin questioning it. It's actively unhelpful at best.

Thats absolutely not what they asked for, no one was able to reproduce the issue, so they asked for clearer instructions on how to reproduce the issue and were met with hostility. It's not the job of OSS developers to debug someone else's scripts just to then start debugging the actual issue. This is the absolute bare minimum of any bug report, if you think there's a bug but no one else can observe it, in the first instance you have to assume it's something to do with their setup, until shown otherwise. The addition of not just wrong, but completely misleading AI summaries just makes the job of an OSS dev harder, they now have to start debugging the bug report itself to try to figure out whats parts are even facts at all (hint, most of the AI generated content was completely wrong, but sounded plausible).

Personally, the developers of both the LLVM and Mesa projects were far kinder and patient than I would have been, most OSS developers aren't just not paid to work on these projects, but are usually paid to work on other things. Taking up their time with this nonsense is very insulting to them, and the attitude that they owe the author anything at all is, as stated in the LLVM ticket, exactly what pushes many developers out of OSS development.

Oops, yes indeed! Was working from memory and should’ve checked.

The video side of things is super interesting - 4k60 ProRes is an absolutely insane amount of data (something like 12GB/s IIRC?), and the addition of ACES really makes it usable for professional work where a larger mirrorless from Sony/Panasonic/Nikon/Canon wouldn't be practical.

I also found it very interesting that their pics of this feature were with Davinci Resolve on the screen and not Final cut Pro - I guess when it comes to colour, there's no better tool.

This isn't really new for Apple, they've been doing as much AI stuff on device as possible, there isn't really any change with the A16 as far as I'm aware, just more bigger.

Siri is nowhere near Apple quality standards as it is. had a fun experience with Siri the other day where I ended up sending someone the message "I'm just leaving now what the fuck are you doing", because it heard me, and showed absolutely no acknowledgement. Not the sort of message I ever want to send to an ex, but here we are.

The only thing worse than Apple fanboys is anti-Apple fanboys projecting.

No one is going to claim this. The fact the Pro gets 10Gbit USB 3 _is_ interesting (particularly for anyone using the phone for video), but certainly not revolutionary or genius.

They used to sell the case, and each airpod separately (with the total for all three being the same as a new pair), but it looks like they stopped? It was very useful when I ran over my airpods case with my LandCruiser, and it got a bit wonky (but was amazingly still fully functional).

That sounds highly unlikely, the one that came with my MBP supports everything up to Thunderbolt. But USB is ridiculously complicated, and sometimes better cables fail on shitty devices; I've seen it a few times with camera equipment where I really needed the cable that came with it because higher specced ones just didn't work.

Paul, are you actually for real right now? Did you really just say "We deleted all your data, and its your fault. We did whisper into the wind three times, you should have heard it. No, there is no chance of recovery"?

You might have literally deleted people's whole businesses, companies, who employ real people, who have families, now need to figure out how to continue. Not least of which, your own. If the company survives until Christmas I will be shocked; no one can trust your company ever again - your core business is storing other people's data, and you deleted it, for many, completely without warning.

I guess people still use Mongo even after finding it doesn't achieve any property of the CAP theorem, maybe some people will keep using a database provider with a track record of intentionally deleting their paying customers' data.

There just aren't enough adjectives for astonishment to adequately describe this situation.

I hope you offer Jay Clifford some support, he's clearly been put in the awful situation of having to explain the decisions of others and deliver the awful news. If I were him, I would be in need of serious mental health support, this is an absolutely awful thing to have responsibility for without any ability to rectify.
