This is what really happened with Siri and Apple Intelligence, according to Apple
Is it a delay, a strategy... or something else?

What they don't say (but is clear to all):
In order to protect themselves against the US.

Echo mapping of the black hole accretion flow in NGC 7469
Reverberation mapping (RM) can measure black hole accretion disc sizes and radial structure through observed time lags that should increase with wavelength as $τ\proptoλ^{4/3}$. Our 250-day RM campaign on NGC 7469 combines sub-day cadence 7-band photometry from the Las Cumbres Observatory robotic telescopes and weekly X-ray and UVOT data from Swift. By fitting these light curves, we measure the spectral energy distribution of the variable accretion disc and inter-band lags of just 1.5 days ac…

Turb-L1: Achieving Long-term Turbulence Tracing By Tackling Spectral Bias
Accurately predicting the long-term evolution of turbulence is crucial for advancing scientific understanding and optimizing engineering applications. However, existing deep learning methods face significant bottlenecks in long-term autoregressive prediction, which exhibit excessive smoothing and fail to accurately track complex fluid dynamics. Our extensive experimental and spectral analysis of prevailing methods provides an interpretable explanation for this shortcoming, identifying Spectral …
