Great point. We’re about to get a wave of Apple Products with “Apple Intelligence” in a similar way.

I don’t think we’ll see Apple actually rename all their apps over it. It’s simply a feature, it doesn’t change what the app is.

Also, Apple tends to make system services that are implemented once and work across all apps I the OS, like with their writing tools. The app didn’t change, it can just take advantage of a new system level feature… and so can 3rd party apps.

If they ever get Apple Intelligent going.

Pretty soon, the only 9 they’re going to have is the 9 8s…

In California, the pharmacy computer queries some state database to log the purchase and get approval. If you buy too much too quickly your purchase will be blocked.

My closest pharmacy “loses its connection to the system” frequently which results in them being unable to sell me the medicine. The computer will refuse to ring it up.

Plot twist, for employee safety the store policy is to always say "lost connection, sorry" when the system detects suspicious purchasing patterns.

My external mechanical keyboard doesn’t have media keys.

I agree. Apple may even replace out of warranty

This makes Asahi Linux so valuable to me. I'll just move to linux on my M2 Max when MacOS drops support.

Oh, thanks for pointing this out. This could make me pick up a used mac one day.

I've told the LLMs that, when traveling, I don't care about nightlife and alcohol. Because they have a memory of this, when I ask for a sample itinerary for a 2 day stay in a new city, it won't waste hours in the day on the party street, wine tasting, etc.

For example, instead of recommending a popular night club, it will recommend the stroll along the river to view the lit up skyline or to visit the night market instead.

It knows other preferences as well (exploring quirky neighborhoods, trying local fast food joints and markets)

So it's because they want to be more like ChatGPT instead of being more Claude Code. I guess that makes sense - bigger market

maybe. Software is big, but it is only a tiny percentage of the ecconomy. they need to help a lot more than software to justify their datacenter investments. even if we add all engineering that isn't a large percentage. How can they help insurance agents (or eliminate - I don't care either way), plumbers, zoo keepers, and every other job in my city? Some might be they can't - but if they can is a question worth asking.

One day there will be a CEO who actually pays the severances out of their own compensation.

So, like Nintendo and other Japanese and Chinese companies where the CEO of a company treats the company like their child and takes the hit when they make errors?

Or maybe like the US employer that gave everyone at the company a flat wage?

Even better they fire themself, the exec team can replace them with AI

Both HN clients that I use are failing to load/update. I think they both pull data from the Algolia search endpoints.
