That's a good point, anyone with a smart phone could trivial have a voice recorder going all day and run it through whisper

Agreed. Granted I just read the Reverse Centaur book, so I’m still coming off that skeptical viewpoint but it’s hard not to see this as hype. But I will always respect someone for doing what they think is right.

Agreed. Love the idea and the polish. Hate the owners

If I get told about a swappable seam one more time I am going to lose it.

lol, I was just thinking that. The assmbly makerspace is probably closest I know of to something like this.

This sounds a lot like a project I’ve started a few times and never made it far with. I called it woodlang. It was the idea of CAD but rather than designing the shape and figuring how to make it that shape, you specify a series of shop oper

Many humans would struggle with this even with very good tooling (ie not writing raw svg and using illustrator). I struggle to draw a bicycle accurately. But yes, I suspect it will be diminishing returns and I doubt it will ever be perfect

This is what I’m working on right now. It lasts about 3 months on battery updating every minute, except every five at night. I’ve been meaning to switch to a word clock to make it last longer.

The market research I have seen indicated DRAM prices will not come back to “normal” until 2030 at least and probably 2031. You can wait, but it will probably be longer than a year

It’s a double edged sword. You are responsible for a thing. But you can’t just wave a wand and say “x team needs to do y for the thing I am a DRI for”. There are some resources in Apple University (an internal learning resource) about navig

Eh I’ve filed a few bugs a few years ago and they seem to have been ignored. I tried it for a while and it crashed my phone frequently. My gut says it’s a hack, hence the performance issues.

I’m curious about this, what did you do to make it dumb?

What would progression look like in a farming simulator? I tried it a few times but have had a similar feeling.

I worked on a similar concept (padgames.io now defunct) that offered a state sync networking system with rollback netcode style stuff. It could handle exposing only certain information or fake info to certain clients (to prevent cheating).

This was actually a funny question at work over lunch. A few of us have kids and like most tech guys over 30, our steam accounts have turned into collections. So I asked, who gets your steam account when you kick it. It’s difficult to think

One of the unstated points of this particular article is that these rules are ones that we as a society have. If we collectively decide that this isn’t something that should be allowed, we can make it so. There are some powerful interests t

When I lived closer to a Costco and had my membership, I used to do what I called cartless runs. Go into Costco, only buy what you can carry. Usually just the thing I needed and maybe one or two other things.

It's a pretty huge cost to support an entirely different set of hardware with different kernel extensions and an entirely different build (x86 instead of arm64e). Could apple choose to do that? Absolutely. But the cost of supporting an

That's a double edged sword. Assuming it's an 18 month contract, even when ram prices do go back to "normal" it's a year and a half until Apple has savings to pass onto to customers.

I've been working on trying to outpaint an animated program for my son (Leapfrog Letter Factory if you're curious) and then upscale it. Doing so locally has been actually fairly difficult. I wonder if you could retrain or fine tun

Is the threat model tracking across multiple apps to correlate what you're doing? In that case, a single app wouldn't show you the fudging.

I keep playing around with this exact concept. While I don’t always trust entirely AI generated recipe, more traditional setups are super rigid when it comes to ingredients

I cannot tell if this is sarcasm or genuine. I am horrified that it could be either almost as much as I am by the fact that I can't tell.

I’ve been doing exactly this (with the shortcuts) for almost 3 years now. I don’t think it’s as powerful as I would like but it’s certainly helped. I do wish more apps worked in grayscale (calendar I’m looking at you) but that’s on my long

Yes? That's what the law currently allows. If we want to make a law that says companies are required to let end users install _any_ software they want onto any device they legally own, that encompasses almost the entire consumer produc

Agreed- the idea of "winning" a hackathon seems kind of wild to me. It doesn't seem like something you should be able to win.

It's the inverse problem. EU wants anyone to be able to install a different AI agent onto their phone with the same access as Siri. Apple says "no- we need time to figure out how that would work, we want other agents to meet the s
