"falling behind" like a fox

CNN: What the heck is going on at Apple?. Talking about the recent exodus and possible departure of Tim Cook:

The changes come as critics say Apple, once a tech leader, is behind in the next big wave: artificial intelligence. For one of the world’s most valuable tech companies, a change in leadership could mean a change in how it conceives, designs and creates products used around the world every single day.

Ondřej Surý @ondrej@sury.org observes:

@briankrebs Yeah, we need more "falling behind" from Apple, not less :). I am happy that Apple did not jump on the FOMO bandwagon.

My uneducated guess is that they have a lot of telemetry from their devices and they probably see how many people did disable the use of LLMs on their devices.

Thank ghod that Dye is gone. Maybe they'll be able to back off some of the UI atrocities they've inflicted on the Mac the last half dozen years.

I'm hoping that with Ive gone they managed to bring back usable keyboards, and maybe with Dye gone they can do something about the appearance of stuff. I would love it if they'd bring back Carbon, or fix Cocoa, 'cause holy shit this platform is super annoying.

Two enters (ie: a blank line) gets you a new paragraph, special treatment for paragraphs that are manually indented or start with "#" (as in "#include" or "#!/usr/bin/perl"), "/* " or ">" (as in a quoted message) or look like lists, or within a paragraph you can use a number of HTML tags:

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
