I was curious about this as well. Hypothetically, if they are really trying to extract insight, they could be:

- Industrial trend pattern: even if only people accidentally leave the Cloud Feature on initially, there could be some that slip through. It could be product categories way before the public knows about it.

- Defence and aerospace: obviously less likely, but if people use Strava in odd locations, and people share classified defence info on War Thunder, then it wouldn’t surprise me if someone slipped something through.

It wouldn’t surprise me if such automated analysis is setup somewhere in China.

Makes me wonder if Anthropic is really having issues with allocating compute (see recent deals with xAI and SpaceX). From available benchmarks, it seems like similar results should be possible with GPT 5.5 Pro or Opus 4.7 (with specific cybersecurity trained models).

I just checked that I could see it in the Settings App search bar, but it does not show up under the actual App Store settings page, might be an implementation bug related to user region.

Edit 1: this was on iPadOS 26.3.1 (a) (23D771330a)

If more people are able to step back and think about the potential growth for the next 5-10 years, then I think the discussion would be very different.

I am grateful to be able to witness all these amazing progress play out, but am also concerned about the wide ranging implications.

This has been my experience too, with installing common (Ubuntu, Fedora, and other popular ones) distros.

The only exception is when we got a really new batch of Lenovo P1 laptops for work, and the patches likely were not fully merged yet. So as long as you’re not getting the first batch it is generally pretty good.

So if I understand this correctly (solely from reading the xkcd), then the person might actually be okay?

Thanks for mentioning this here, I learnt a lot more about Gordon from the video there, and I think we all have something to thank Gordon for - both directly and indirectly.

That is pretty insane, I didn’t expect that portal would run that well!

Given that they had to upgrade to a new camera sensor to get faster readout speed, I’m wondering if they actually changed to a better sensor with improved pixel size and light sensitivity.

I have read the official press release but it seems like there is no mentions of this.

Might need to wait for the ifixit tear down in ~10 days.

Edit 1: there has been some discussions that eventually the Sony IMX903 would be used, but not sure when that will actually eventuate.
