lol there's zero chance apple made faceid algorithms without extensive testing for the chinese market equally dumb and more likely is the makeup she wears for tv quote:And the final component was the makeup I applied during the Facebook Live. It’s a very heavy foundation that flattened my face on camera, it also lists titanium dioxide amongst its ingredients. Titanium dioxide is a noted ingredient in many types of sunscreen and actually reflects infrared light. Which means the makeup functions as a double whammy, preventing infrared lasers from accurately measuring the depth of markers on my face, and the camera can’t use its algorithms to make an approximate depth map of my face because the makeup severely flattens things out.

possibly apple has accidentally stumbled into proof shattering the illusion of the physical world being the simple spatially distributed thing we perceive it as, and in fact every apparent object is one of uncountably many facets of some actual higher concept, with specifically a handful of chinese people by cosmic chance actually being a repeated facet of the same platonic person seems a lot more likely than apple being a bunch of clowns who made poor choices in biometric identification tech at any rate

and no basis in desktop UI/UX either. “oh boy, I can’t wait to run a dumbed down OS X on my $7000 iMac Pro” said no one ever: “dumbing down OS X will really show our 5 remaining pro users that we’re still committed to the Mac!” said probably someone at apple, unfortunately.

without constraints design is just wankery. see for example concept cars. no bumpers, no seat belts, no suspension travel, usually no visibility. they look cool but have nothing to do with real cars.
