To be fair Meta/Facebook does have quite a strong open source history; React (Native), PyTorch, Btrfs, zstd, etc. It didn't just start here with AI models.
Why only one app, and not several and choose the right one for the occasion? Mapy.com and OsmAnd are much better for trail use than Google Maps. Mapy has public transit info (depending on where you live, of course).
I think Anthropic/OpenAI do have a moat in the (western) enterprise market. Chinese hosted models are a no-go, and my experience with enterprise IT departments is that they will not self-host. So far signing up with a known product (e.g. Claude) seems to be the way they will go and this is the moat that the AI companies have. Alternatively there is Copilot, but that for now seems to mostly be backed by Anthropic/OpenAI models[1].
Will this continue? The field is moving too fast to tell. Kimi, Qwen, Deepseek also produce very capable models but that doesn't automatically translate into trillion dollar valuations.
However, trillion dollar valuations on Anthropic and OpenAI, such new companies, never publicly traded and such huge valuations decided just by investors. This is just asking for trouble.
you'd have to actually care about politics, the far right, how ruper murdoch and nixon's advisors spent 50 years making Fox news an unassailable fortress of misinformation a geriatric rapist used as a platform to take over a democratic leadership.
Those are the same people trying to take another media entity into.
i stay out of politics but to say that only fox is doing misinformation is turning a blind eye to the lies of NYT, CBS, CNN, ABC, BBC (although foreign owned) and MSNBC.
OP did not say "only fox is doing misinformation". Rather they are referencing what was a deliberate goal for Fox from its outset [0]. Other companies and individual journalists followed suit to various degrees, yes.
[0] https://theweek.com/articles/880107/why-fox-news-created which is itself kind of a simplistic, preach-to-the-choir piece. But as you said you mostly stay out of politics, I figure it is easier to follow rather than say the full Wikipedia article on Roger Ailes.
Subjective depending on who you ask, but for me RSC is not really representative of React usage. (I believe) the vast majority of React apps (and the vast majority of dev experience in React) are front end only. I have been writing React in some form for 8+ years, but never touched RSC.
I tried Angular 2+ back in the day. I found it frustrating to learn as the API had changed between versions, and when searching for help you would come across a blog post/stackoverflow answer, start implementing it and realise it didn't work in the version of Angular your project was in. Frustrating.
Tried React afterwards, this frustration didn't really exist and it was much easier to pick up.
Just knowing the personal number is not enough to do much with. To get access to services, verify who you are on when talking to companies there is a verification step, most commonly with the BankID app.
Lol was thinking the same. Btw if you're into sensors, keen to chat. I'm the founder of crewline.ai, just raised our seed and are bringing on a couple key founding engineering hires.
Ironically we bought a Roborock (Chinese brand with close links to Xiaomi) and didn't connect it to the internet (checked this would work before we bought it).
If you don't want the scheduling and other app features, and are happy switching it on when you need it, it works fine.
Motivation for an offline one was more than just cameras, also that it wouldn't be bricked by an update one day, but still...
