I still don't see how they plan to privatize weather forecasting. All it takes is one or two people from each city to scrape the data and upload it to a free alternative site. It's not like health care where each person needs individualized care, it's more like streaming services and we're all seeing how that's going. Never thought the future would involve pirating weather forecasts...
I don't know if I would call it lying per-se, but yes I have seen instances of AI's being told not to use a specific tool and them using them anyways, Neuro-sama comes to mind. I think in those cases it is mostly the front end agreeing not to lie (as that is what it determines the operator would want to hear) but having no means to actually control the other functions going on.
Nah, this is closer to hiring a gardener for your lawn that YOU'RE in the process of illegally paving over. There's no external 3rd party forcing the closure of the Department of Education, it's all Trump's actions.
Yup, heard about it a week or two ago. Found it installed on my Samsung phone, it never asked for permissions or gave any info that it was added to my phone.
I think what OP is trying to say is that people in their age range will end up being the last of those people, ie. the internet was one of their earliest memories and that happened to be right as it took off. A similar example from my age range, we will probably be the last to remember the WTC attacks as they happened. It's one of the earliest memories I have. Not me specifically, unless I am graced with an incredibly long life, but someone around my age who is.
...Apple was already doing it because both Biden and Trump were on the same course when it comes to putting tariffs on China. Tariffs work for this purpose...
Btw, have you really reviewed all Apple public financial statements? I didn’t so I don’t want to claim something doesn’t exist there.
Nope, I never claimed anything of the sort of course, I am basing all of the understandings I have off the research I can do on publicly avalible stats and statements. I'm just replying to your "someone make a counterpoint" comment like you asked. Despite saying you haven't reviewed Apples financials and that you don't want to claim something that doesn't exist, you seem very set on the fact that tarrifs were a major factor. I agree that Apple would never state the reason, they are a private company and are allowed to do so, I'd probably do the same.
Edit: Don't know why I said private, they are publicly traded but still have no requirement to disclose their reasonings to the general public.
Yes, of course, about half their revenue comes from outside the US from a quick search. But doesn't that reinforce my point that tarrifs were likely not the primary reason for this US investment? China is not threatening tarrifs on Apple, yet they still plan to invest there because it is in their best interest and the interests of their shareholders.
As the other guy said, I think Apple is working in it's own interests more than anything and the tarrifs were not the primary motivation. For one, Apple does not mention tarrifs or reference them in both their 2021 $430 billion investment announcement or their more recent $500 billion announcement. On top of that, at the end of last year Bloomberg reported Apple is still committing to investing more in China. Do the tarrifs play a part in the US investment? Maybe, but I think it would be foolish to say this is a sign of them being the primary motivator for them.
Yeah, there are a few options for cable covers but none that I think would be great here. Expando loom will stop cable abrasions, but probably not cat teeth. There's split loom, but that is quite rigid and I think cats could bite through it still with enough will power. There are metal cable sleeves, but these usually aren't for physical protection and are braided in the same way that makes expando loom a not great solution. I would try what someone else mentioned first and try coating the cable in a bitterant.
Like I get we don't know everything at this point, but a lot of comments saying it could be an accident seem to be glossing over the fact the guy shot himself in the head just before it blew up.
Yeah, it was a Da Vinci back around 2012 I want to say? It was at a robotics competition as an exhibit, I just happened to go past while it wasn't busy and got to spend 5 minutes manipulating a little toy they had set up. It felt incredibly futuristic with the 3D display and finger controllers.
