Does this affect users that have a primary address in the EU or anyone with a phone that is _in_ the EU?

The APIs in iOS that turn feature flags on/off as you travel now have gotten insanely complex. Some are on time triggers, some change instantly, some depend on where your iCloud account was setup, AFAIK there isn't a black and white answer as to what happens when you move a non-EU iPhone through Europe anymore, "it depends". It's similarly vague in the other direction.

Apple themselves have claimed recent EU compliance has led to over 600 new or changed APIs in the OS.

I've spent a fair amount of time with my iPhone in both the EU and the USA, have local cell service registered in both regions. its nothing as simple as a geo-location check anymore. It's a problem that has grown more complex over the decades too, as more and more countries implement their own slightly differing legislation.


From past experience, it is when you are physically in the EU, but this implementation could obviously differ from how they've gated features in the past.

I have the complete opposite experience. Originally had a Canadian bought iPhone in Spain, had all the features a Canadian has and a European doesn’t (or vice versa). Upgraded to a Spanish bought iPhone and I am still a “Canadian”. I’ve been here for nearly 5 years but my Apple account is still fully Canadian (Canadian address, Canadian credit card on file). I think it’s Apple account location, maybe with some sort of system to allow people to switch countries but not allowing that to bypass restrictions? Or: that’s why a EU citizen can’t just switch their account location to unlock features?

I have a European account, when I lived in Japan I could use all the features (iPhone Mirroring, etc.) that are blocked in the EU. When back in the EU I can still use them for about 2 weeks before they get blocked again.

So they nerfed 4.6 to make way for 4.7?

Progress. /s


> they nerfed 4.6 to make way for 4.7?

> Progress. /s

pretty much, lmao. my theory is 4.6 started thinking less to save compute for 4.7 release. but who knows what's going on at anthropic


A fun conspiracy theory I have is that Mythos isn’t actually dangerous in any serious sense. They just can’t reliably serve a 10T model. So they have to make up a reason to limit customers.


"but who knows what's going on at anthropic"

People at Anthropic, of course


So they renamed performance to mean efficiency and are now using super in place of performance?


Super is old "performance" core:

> The industry-leading super core was first introduced as performance cores in M5, which also adopts the super core name for all M5-based products

But new "performance" is claimed to be new design (= not just overclocked efficiency core from M5?):

> M5 Pro and M5 Max also introduce an all-new performance core that is optimized to deliver greater power-efficient, multithreaded performance for pro workloads.

> We attacked them

During negotiations, for the second time.


Negotiations during which the Iranians continuously stalled and continued their nuclear work. The threat of attack was part of the US negotiation strategy, and the Iranians thought they would call the "bluff". They were wrong.


Gentiles have a right to defend themselves.


Which is exactly why I expect the Americans to destroy the nuclear capability of the state that regularly chants "Death to America".


Did they chant that before or after hamas beheaded 40 babies? I lose track of all the lies.


[flagged]


They have been chanting "down with America" - that does not mean "murder every single person in America with their missiles (which can't reach America)"

"Death to" is a mistranslation of "marg bar", a phrase that is also applied to traffic, and inflation.

Do the Iranians want to kill all traffic and all... inflation?

We no longer believe your lies.


I'm grant you that I do not speak Persian, but I do speak Arabic and Hebrew. In Arabic the phrase موت لامريكا is common enough. And this Hebrew sign in Tehran says "prepare your coffins":

So I do appreciate you educating me on the literal meaning of the Persian phrase, yet I dispute your interpretation that they state no intention of murdering us. Quite the opposite, the more I research it the more Hebrew banners in Tehran I see and I can conclude not only are they capable of murdering myself and my children, they have intent as well.


Imo those web apps are all infrastructure services: logistic network, content library access, and hardware access.


Yeah. Exactly. Most of the stuff you pay for is. Hardly anything is pure app without some kind of value external to the software.


> > Stage Restrictions: Only age-assured adults may speak on stage in servers.

Does this mean that in panel-like settings where 100s of users are listening to a speaker, in order to ask or contribute in voice you need to be verified?


I guess so, since the same role is used for anyone with permission to speak up in a stage channel.

Hell if I know why unverified users are allowed to speak in normal voice channels but not in stage channels.


Competitors use ads?


I'm "excited" for the era of different locally run LLMs get to have ads baked into them... People start selling ad-space to inject into their training/tuning data. Could be quite lucrative.


Not yet. But they likely will, if OpenAI's ad revenue becomes worthwhile.


Or they view it as a differentiator and focus on a different segment. As I understand it, this is what Anthropic is doing:

1. Focus on businesses and developers

2. Make money on productivity and API platform

Enterprises are particularly sensitive about their data being farmed (e.g. note that paid Google accounts don’t have their emails used for ads.)

Keeping that trust is not a differentiator and existentially important to Anthropic.


I just don't believe that is likely.

I think that, despite Anthropic's present statements, they will move to ads if ads prove successful for ChatGPT or Gemini.

It would be viewed as "leaving money on the table" by their board and shareholders if they didn't.


this is false and not how things work at the enterprise level. trust is important and it is not lost by showing ads in free tier.

trust is lost in other ways.


no they don't


They will or they will perform worse. OpenAI will be able to offer a better `free tier` as it won't be free after all.


Not yet, but they all will. OpenAI has shown that customers will accept it.


name a single product that has

1. many competitors

2. ways to pay for the subscription but no tier exists to remove ads

i can't even think of one.


Ever heard of a thing called television?


Netflix


Netflix does not replace television channels, except when it actually partners with TV broadcasters. Netflix only replaces how you consume series and films. Many TV programs --news, short series, specials, local/regional programs, etc-- aren't available at all on Netflix, or when they are they only become available months/years later due to licensing.


Which security bug(s) are you referring to?


Presumably bugs that may still be under embargo


> You can tax the worker and she will still be better off than if you had taxed the capital, due to greater productivity.

This assumes the worker is the one benefiting from the productivity gains. We're just worked more and we don't get the added value.


Yeah but even there, how do you get dynamic routes for static builds?
