This launch is particularly interesting because this isn't typical for Apple, a fairly secretive and top down company (when it comes to external communications). Timing makes a lot of sense with their upcoming launch of ARkit, Apple Home, and the inevitable "Siri 2.0", among other things.

@rrhoover my take is that this is part of recruitment branding. they need to show their prowess and potential to support massive outbound solicitation of candidates in the field (increase awareness before the outreach). the alternative is what they usually do: absolute secrecy. it's a move in the right direction for them, since they're battling it out with everybody for this talent.
@rrhoover ML-wise, the problem is that the same comment (i.e. unusual move from secretive Apple) was made when the firm published its first research paper last December... and the first journal article published yesterday is just a modified version of that paper. So it's effective communication for sure, but I'm not bullish on their strength in ML (relatively to other tech giants, of course).
In 2017...
Company: Lets start a Medium blog
Apple: We are now the Wall Street Journal

@coreywstone No email signup, no twitter profile to follow, no RSS feed, no existing-blogging-platform-update (e.g. Medium). It's pretty amazing all the hoops one has to go through to avoid sharing updates in 2017.
I guess that's Apple, so they are still learning what "sharing" means :D
Recently I bought myself the latest iPhone, I liked it so much at the presentation that I immediately ran to buy it. But I don't know at all how to use it correctly, he just came to me from the post office and I didn't know what to do. I found a post on the forum about remove duplicate photos. Have you encountered this?
