"X is the useful part" I hate this claudism. But a good thing about recognizing these is that you can pretty much skip any youtuber that uses any claudish phrasing. But it's damn near everyone now a days using claude to write their scripts.

That's true. Usually apple is more consistent with UX. I wonder what advantages they saw to voice over touch style of interaction.

This is how it works with voice over on ios devices, and it’s pretty natural after you use it for awhile.

I haven't investigated it much, but I imagine that LLMs have made it easier for japanese culture products to release products in English language. Is industry in Japan taking advantage of nearly free translation for it's print products?

After exploring it a bit more, I also found that there is no way to load a document that you ask the app to save to your browser IndexDB.

> I get all my news now from Gemini.

Wow. I think it's easy to replace search engines with LLMs (it basically has for me), but I never considered that "News" with a capital N - would be replaced by an LLM. Do you just ask it for news directly, or do you have it collate different sources?

My disagreement is about the usage of the word, not about whether marketers or politicians have used it for other purposes. Sure, using “democratize” to mean “make broadly accessible” has bleached its political force, but that sense has been attested since the late 1700s to the present. Prescriptively, you can argue it shouldn’t be used that way. Descriptively, it has been, for a long time.

Historically wrong. https://www.etymonline.com/word/democratize

> We teach the population at the cheapest possible rate; and the aim all the democratization (if we may use the word) of literature proposes to itself in this country, is to store the minds of the many, of the anonymous multitude, with a large portion of valuable, because practically useful, facts. [Meliora, vol. ii, no. 6, 1860]

Is there no way to open saved documents? Like it won't open a .csv, .txt or .ics file for example?
