Apple ‘very open’ to AI acquisitions to speed up its roadmap, Tim Cook says

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-12-18 04:46:48

Whenever there’s talk of Apple making a big, splashy acquisition to help catch up in AI, someone inevitably points out that “Apple doesn’t acquire big companies like that”. Today, Apple CEO Tim Cook offered his view: company size doesn’t matter. If the tech is right, what’s the harm? During today’s Q3 2025 earnings call, Citi analyst Atif Malik asked whether Apple needed to accelerate its AI roadmap, despite historically not resorting to big acquisitions. Cook noted that Apple has acquired se

Ferrari Status

news.ycombinator.com Ted Lamade 2025-12-15 17:23:14

Is Ferrari a car company? The obvious answer is yes, but not according to its CEO, Benedetto Vigna, who recently described the company’s business model saying, “We are not – we are not – a car company. We are a luxury company that is also doing cars.” That’s their differentiator. Their brand. Their “schtick.” And, it works, but not because it’s a marketing ploy. It works because Ferrari backs it up with its actions. How so? By adhering to its founder Enzo Ferrari’s “scarcity dictum” that de

Microsoft ends tradition of naming competitors in regulatory filings

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella leaves after attending a meeting with Indonesian President Joko Widodo at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta, Indonesia, on April 30, 2024. Microsoft has abandoned a decades-long tradition of calling out the names of its rivals in regulatory documents. When the 50-year-old technology company released its annual report Wednesday, the 101-page document contained zero references to longtime foes Apple and IBM .

Profiling without Source code – how I diagnosed Trackmania stuttering

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-15 17:58:12

Profiling without Source code – how I diagnosed Trackmania stuttering A very common side effect of working as a programmer is the constant frustration of not having source code access to all the software you use. Bugs, problems or missing features in your own work can be frustrating enough — you know you’ll have to address all those issues at some point. But it’s even worse when you experience an issue and don’t have the option to solve it. A recent example of this for me was playing the game

Forward-looking: The Trump administration wants the US public to upload personal health data and medical records to a series of apps and systems managed by private health companies and tech giants. The move is supposed to allow easier access to health records across the nation, bringing personal healthcare into the digital age, but there are plenty of concerns about the security of the data and the possibility that it could be exploited.

The Best Anime on Netflix You Can Watch Right Now

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-12-21 16:15:04

Original anime and fresh releases have found a home on Netflix, and we think it's one of the best streaming services for anime fans. Its library is surprisingly expansive, covering everything from long-beloved classics like Cowboy Bebop and Naruto to more recent hits like Dandadan. Crunchyroll is exclusively for anime, so it remains our favorite service overall. That being said, it's worth subscribing to Netflix for its anime, too, if you want to cover all your bases.

Big Tech Killed the Golden Age of Programming

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-22 16:58:04

Big Tech Killed the Golden Age of Programming The reason it's so hard to get a programming job right now is because Big Tech caused it. It's not an accident. It's not the result of regular cycles of employment or the economy. For years, companies like Google, Facebook/Meta, and Amazon hired too many developers. They knew they were hiring too many developers, but they did it anyway because of corporate greed. They wanted to control the talent pool. They wanted to make as much money as possible,

YouTube loosens profanity rules for monetized videos

techcrunch.com Ivan Mehta 2025-12-22 22:01:21

YouTube is tweaking its profanity-related rules to allow creators to monetize videos with swearing in them, provided the profanity is contained to the first seven seconds of the video. In November 2022, YouTube changed its rules so that creators who used swear words in the first 8-15 seconds would potentially be ineligible for any ad revenue. After much backlash, the company changed its rules again in March 2023 so that such videos would be eligible for limited ad revenue, unless they use profa

YouTube will no longer limit ads on videos that drop the f-bomb early

YouTube has changed its ad guideline policy surrounding swear words, allowing creators a bit more freedom than before. In a video announcement, YouTube's head of monetization, Conor Kavanagh, said that videos containing stronger profanity such as f-bombs in the first seven seconds are now eligible for full monetization. In 2022, YouTube introduced a policy that would flag videos using profane language in the first several seconds as ineligible for advertising. It relaxed that rule a bit in 2023.

As I listened to executives talk about how they aligned their technology with human values, I realized that the malleability of AI models was a double-edged sword. Models could be tweaked to, say, minimize biases, but also to enforce a specific point of view. Governments could demand manipulation to censor unwelcome facts and promote propaganda.
