Sounds like you got offended by a robot.

I believe the correct term that I've seen elsewhere is "clanker".

Apple’s analytics probably support this which is exactly why siri still sucks. But ya, everyone will continue to think they somehow know better and apple is wrong and poorly executing

> which is exactly why siri still sucks

It probably does what most people need it to do, so it sucks?

That's some interesting logic to say the least.

had the privilege to be there in person. was magical live

I envy you sooo muuchh

Dont worry. The market decides what we want and we just wont go for it

I am getting Phillips CDI vibes. It takes me back to a mid 90s infomercial where products will built by marketing departments and companies with cash to splash. There is just no bottom up cool factor. At all.

That's just like, your opinion, man.

The wrist thing is kind of cool but he has to set his arm down to type 30wpm so maybe in a few iterations it’ll be more compelling.

The glasses seem pointless to me for now. I’m surprised he didn’t add a booty zoom in view. We thought of that idea way back in middle school. Seems like something he’d vibe with.

Did you watch the video link and compare? Curious what you think? Or are you just trolling? I bring substance and you bring negging

I grew up on the internet, I know what the CD-i is. Smart glasses are cool. For $800, I'd get one tomorrow if someone had a reproducible jailbreak. I own an Oculus Quest that was worth every dime.

Too often HN threads devolve into the same tired comparisons about laserdisks and Palm Pilots. The only precedent we have for a product like this failing is Vision Pro, and this is nothing like that. Your comment was jumping to a conclusion that I think many would disagree with.

Even if it doesn't get a jailbreak it will still be a gamechanger. It's far more of an open platform than iOS ever was. Sideloading Android apps on the Meta Quest doesn't require any hax, I imagine it will be the same on the Meta Display. An SSH client on this thing will be a huge boost in productivity for me. Can just randomly sit on a park bench and write some code w/ my pocket bluetooth keyboard. This will reduce 90% of my need to bring my laptop out of the house.

What's this 30 minute ad?! Who was the intended audience!

i think it can figure it out.

Yes but why should it?

Because that's the requirement to be allowed to drive on a public road.

The browser is the OS that wraps the user not the machine. Just as Linux or Windows or Android wrap the machine and manage its resources, the browser should wrap the user and manage their resources (data, time/focus etc). In this regard nobody has succeeded. The browser isn’t finished until it achieves this

The browser is an application that renders webpages. It doesn't need any mystical vague purpose. Further, the OS doesn't wrap the machine, that's not even a good analogy. When you wrap something you've protected it or hidden it, or even ended it.

I don't need a browser to manage my time or focus. I need it to render websites efficiently so I can interact with them.

The os wraps the machine. That is literally it's job. Manage hardware resources and broker them to applications

They wanted Arc. The founders and others at Atlassian loved Arc. I am sure Dia is allowed to continue until it doesn’t work. Which it wont.

The problem is Amazon is usually Apples non competitive cloud partner. They can’t both sit this out. AWS needs to learn in a hurry whether they should be in the model business to supply Apple with Siri LLMs. Bc if not Apple is going to Google (and Google cloud). Thats not good for AWS. Amazon is in a bit of a bind bc they should be acquiring Anthropic but not at bubble prices.

I don't understand why AWS needs to be in the model business. They didn't develop databases, they didn't develop Kubernetes, they didn't develop Linux, and the list goes on and on.

Not a whole lot in their portfolio actually has a lot of Amazon technology behind it. They've got some mild forks here and there, and they've got some stuff like Fargate that has AWS R&D work behind it but piggybacks concepts/tech stacks that definitely didn't originate from Amazon.

A lot of their value has really nothing to do with developing the underlying technology.

Is Apple really going to shovel a bunch of money to a direct competitor (Android) in a way that is likely to result in less differentiation for Apple mobile devices?

Android isn’t really a competitor it’s an ecosystem. Google Pixel is a competitor. And would Apple start funding Google’s Pixel market penetration in exchange for AI? Perhaps. Google was funding Apple with default search money for a long time. I think the 20B payment flow is about to reverse direction, not disappear.

This is a sad reality. I see 2 paths forward 1) we somehow build the right layers into the internet that we can withstand open hardware. 2) open hardware running any software becomes an education use and hobbyist market only. I could see an edu slice to every corporate entity deploying open and free stuff just as onboarding to paid. Hackable hardware with kiddyflix.
