They have Their Link.com product which integrates pretty seamlessly. It just doesn't store balances or anything akin to PayPal, Venmo, Cashapp, Apple Pay/Cash, etc.

The ability to auto-fill the text/email verification codes is a huge one.

+1 for dokploy, it's very flexible and allows me to setup my sites how I need. Especially as it concerns to the way I setup a static landing page, then /app goes to the react app. And /auth goes to a separate auth service, etc.

Whatever the speed of light is I would imagine

No, that's just an optimization that saved on computing resources. It effectively allows the party that runs this simulation to have a limited world to simulate. Dark matter is the other half of that trick. Both were invented by one Bebele Zropaxhodb after a particularly interesting party in the universe just above this one...

That's the rendering speed.

We gave it advanced pattern recognition.

But you repeat what the parent said, Why did you say "we gave it intelligence" again?

Felt more like a Tailwind UI (https://tailwindcss.com/plus) to me

I have purchased Tailwind UI in the past, but for Rails developers, Rails UI goes the extra mile as this sentence on the JavaScript page explains:

Rails defaults use Stimulus.js and Turbo from the Hotwire ecosystem. Rails UI follows these conventions and includes pre-built Stimulus controllers for common UI patterns.

oh yea I absolutely understand the niche this Rails UI fits in. I was just drawing parallels to Tailwind UI. Rails is a more "opinionated" version.

For comparison sake, TW Plus appears to be the same price for life as Rails UI is for one year.

I was going to say before LLMs Tailwind UI helped me get moving much faster on front-end code. Now I wish there was some kind of context I can provide to use the Tailwind UI instead of hallucinating its own. Tailwind UI still looks better than the generic stuff LLMs generate.

(Open to any suggestions to feed existing ui components from Tailwind into my projects/llm).

There might be a business model for Tailwind here. I was looking at buying Tailwind Plus after reading this news, and my first question was how to get AI to use it efficiently.

Do you mean headlessui? If so it seems to be indexed by context7 [1] so you could use it with their MCP server?

[1] - https://context7.com/tailwindlabs/headlessui

Does asking for tailwind directly in the prompt not get it looking in that direction? I wonder if you could get a large enough context to include the css directly too

I was more hoping to use the Tailwind UI components (or tailwind plus or whatever they're calling it now) with the LLM output. I don't think they offer downloadable components or whatever so the LLM would need a way of knowing which were available to use and be able to pull them in for reference. At least that's my assumption.

It's more like Goliath vs Bigger Goliath.

Small developers/business won't benefit from this change.

End-users COULD benefit from this change but the skeptic in me knows Epic won't adjust their prices to reflect the smaller cut they have to pay now.

They need locale-based app bundles to make that realistic then. If I need to support every locale I can, I need to bundle the frameworks necessary.

If I remember right they primarily use Google Cloud with a small mix of multi-cloud stuff for iCloud

depends on where in the world you live.

If you live in a region where they operate their own data centers, you will be running on Apple data centers. If not, you're running on a mix of Google Cloud and AWS (IIRC). They used to use Azure as well, but I think that's no longer the case.

In any case, your data is encrypted (by Apple) before being uploaded to Google or AWS, and only Apple has that key. Whatever E2EE encryption you use will be applied on top of that.

Last I checked they were phasing out their own DCs in favor of cloud-provided services. Though it's been a while since I have heard anything about it, so maybe those plans got canceled. It could have also been phasing out those DCs for only the specific services and not all services. My details on the whole thing are fuzzy at best.

As far as I know, everything iCloud and Apple Intelligence runs off of their own data centers if you happen to live "near" one, but you could still be using AWS and/or Google as well.

I live near the Danish Apple data center, and pretty much all my iCloud traffic goes there, with a small fraction (<10%) going to Stockholm, which has both AWS and Google data centers, so I assume they're using both for geographical redundancy (erasure coding)

It gets a bit more fuzzy once you start moving into Movies/Music/TV/Billing/whatever as well as their backend services for the store and monitoring.

Got it, yea my inside sources were as they relate to Siri and that was a decade ago at this point.
