> No one is doing that, these people don't exist.

Unfortunately, they do. "Normie America" loves that shit. It's why they've been pushing it so hard: it's one of the few areas they're getting serious traction in day to day life.


Not where I’m from. No one has the money to fly to Japan for a shopping trip like this ad suggests. Where do these people exist outside the Bay Area?

We were talking about the clothing mockup using AI: "The very first thing they show this new machine doing is helping people shop for clothes using AI."

Also, Japan is a cheap travel destination right now. Two people can do a 14 day trip easily for $3000 total. That's not nothing but it's also in the realm of many middle class people regardless of where they live.


Not for a dedicated shopping trip.

You probably don't even realise how far you are from average Americans, who are currently struggling to pay for their groceries. Shelling out three grand for a two-week vacation is simply unattainable for the vast majority of the population.

Are you sure? I think "normies" would prefer to see and try on the clothes they buy.

People will order clothes they see on tiktok without ever having touched them. Having something where their users can basically say "order me that shirt" while they are tiking their tok or rolling their reels, and it works most of the time, is a company's wet dream.

Though, people "want" a lot of things that actually end up making them less happy. So responding to demand doesn't necessarily make it a good thing, but only time will tell.


I don't know why your being junked, few companies know more about people than Google. That's why this pos is marketed directly at them.

This was going to be my response, the biggest data miner in the world doesn’t know how users are buying online? That’s a big claim

some elgato stream deck models have knobs. 3Dconnexion also still around

Elgato and Corsair have also made a keyboard that has the Stream Deck buttons + knobs on it.

Yes, that's the problem.

> A great company that made the mistake to stay stagnant.

Sometimes, a company like this is very few people who made something that they wanted and were happy to find others wanted it as well.

So you call it a mistake, but it may very well have been intentional.


I think intentional. My point is refusing to innovate (taking the risk and effort that comes with it) will lead to the announcement eventually.

It may be they kept operations small, were happy to sip cocktails on the bitch while monitoring production on their laptop, and now it's time to retire. Nothing wrong with that, a bit of a waste of talent though.


> My point is

And my point is, don't immediately assume it to be a mistake. :)


> This is not correct. There is no exemption for Apple devices

It was not said that Apple was exempted. What was said is that Apple complied with the exemption rules.


It was not said explicitly but it was a straightforward implication. The replier then pointed out the exemption rule is outdated therefore the implied consequence is wrong and the original line of reasoning was misinformation, and thus would be the greater error. Humans


> It was not said explicitly but it was a straightforward implication

It really, really wasn't. All it said is that Apple became compliant with their current offerings.

Now you're contorting to dig your heels in, so I think this conversation is over. Have a good day.


It really, really was. It's the most basic type of logical implication.

It said: IF BatteryCycles THEN Exempt. BatteryCycles(Apple).

By first order logic modus ponens this results in:

Exempt(Apple)

This is basic math literacy by now. The fact that you do not seem aware and are being confidently rude about it is worth pointing out. Don't do that on HN. This is still a tech forum so try to respect rational discussion as we all abide by these shared rules in this space.


Again, it really, really wasn't. You can do all the contorting you want. Even your "math" here disagrees with you and you don't even realize it!

The post stated "Apple devices", referring to currently produced Apple Devices. Not "Apple". Those are two separate things, you get that, right?

I don't know what level of "basic math literacy" is required to understand that a company and a smartphone are separate things, but you don't seem to have it. Anyways yeah. I don't really owe someone who is repeatedly confidently wrong any further of my time.

You seem determined to have the last word, so I will let you have it. Maybe lecture me about how you prove a Tim Cook is an iCloud with monads. Bye.


The replier was wrong, though. They misread it and skipped over the part they thought wasn’t there.


They they're both wrong for separate reasons, hah.

Edit: the person who posted the links is still saying they're right, it seems they found the wrong link and fixed it.


> why do they come up with the idea that this is the technology of the gods, unaffordable by mere mortals?

because the gods want it all and are willing to pay top dollar.


Isn't this the case of money going from left pocket to the right, since these companies are owned by the same investment funds?

I wonder whether this is some kind of a racket.


"Owned"? You mean they invested


Investors are owners, yes.


> Isn't this the case of money going from left pocket to the right, since these companies are owned by the same investment funds?

No.


Careful with absolutist statements :)

macOS can in fact be configured to use a third party idp, including interactive elements, on loginwindow.

So, you could build your own through the ExtensibleSingleSignOn and Extensible Enterprise SSO macOS plugin API. You would do touchid, and then have it pop your own custom window/app, providing a prompt through that API, except it's just a hardcoded value (or some shit idk)

https://youtu.be/ph37Yd1vV-c

So yes, macOS can in fact do that. Just not out of the box. I strongly believe that it is a glaring omission, or at least something they should gate through lockdown mode. idk!


I've thought the Apple platform has two glaring omissions

- touchid and biometric configuration profiles (standard, paranoid, extra paranoid)

- versioning for icloud backup

The simple fact is that there is no one-sized-fits-all use case for this.

Biometrics are great for the average user! They reduce shoulder surfing and increase security.

But for some users, you might want two factor for biometrics (such as an apple watch), or short windows before password entry is forced. You might want both biometrics AND password entry required. You might want to enable biometrics only when two factor is enabled.

Look, I'm not saying that what I've said is the ideal setup, by the way. Just that there is a lot of room for improvement versus the status quo.


and consumer/prosumer pcie encapsulation over thunderbolt over fiber was happening in 2015. maybe even earlier

still, it's incredibly cool for one guy to pull this off on his own. demonstrates mastery of the subject
