Based on how they've backed off SpriteKit and SceneKit, I really don't think they will try to build a game engine. Bringing on the big game developers requires a cross-platform engine. Like Unity, one that can target Nintendo Swit

Dunno, maybe you're right. I agree the technology choice is very bizarre, but have you noticed the emphasis on Unity in the last two WWDCs? It's clearly the game engine currently "blessed" by Apple. I think there's

Yes, Apple could bail them out. They might need to because, judging by recent WWDCs, they’ve already placed bets on Unity as the game engine of choice for Apple Vision Pro.

If you did hear it in a bar, could you tweet it out before your trade, so the information is made public?

That is exactly my point. The law is the differentiator: the 13th amendment sets apart forced labor for punishment of a crime.

And kidnapping is kidnapping. According to this logic, imprisonment is kidnapping, and serial killers should be free to roam the streets.

I can empathize with this, and hope your family remains safe. But I'm afraid Netanyahu and Hamas are just tips of icebergs, and criticism at that level will not be even remotely sufficient to resolve the underlying issues. I'd lov

My two cents: I think you made a good, practical choice. If you're happy with Electron, I'd say stick with it, especially if you have cross-platform plans in the future. If you want to niche down into a more macOS specific app, yo

I’ve been doing this. Curious what you mean by tooling. All the pg client libraries I’ve used support json/jsonb return types, for example.

People have mentioned this as a conflict of interest with OpenAI, but worse is that it runs afoul of the CHIPS Act. Biden administration has made it clear that the semiconductor supply chain is a national security interest. Microsoft is als

That'd actually be significant, because Apple used to be incredibly strict about this. For example, I had an App Store submission that showed a privacy policy in a WebView, but through a series of clicks on the header or footer of that

Yeah, Loom nailed this feature. Streaming the upload while recording means the video is ready to share instantly, which is very slick. Great UX.

Recognition of individual contributions is a core component to why Open Source even works in the first place. It would not work if an abstract, utopian ideal of "improving the codebase" was the primary driver. A bug fix contributi

This reminds me of the “Architect from Pluto” scene in Jodorowsky’s Holy Mountain. The architect reveals his new efficient apartment design: a matrix of coffins. He received a thunderous applause from his investors. [1] “A man doesn’t need

I was surprised that Whiz could use tools like ffmpeg even though it tells ChatGPT to only use available shell commands. I asked it to "convert demo.mov to an mp4" and "cut the first five seconds of demo.mp4" and it came

I was able to understand the Whiz source (~200 lines) in about sixty seconds, which is a big win in my opinion. The shell_gpt code is more convoluted. Would be interesting to compare how they perform.

I was wondering if Whiz was using agent-style planning prompts, but it's much simpler and passes a single `function` parameter named `shell` to the OpenAI API. I thought that was clever, because shell commands are highly composable, so

Seems like there’s a bunch of spam because I see the same exact message from multiple locations but maybe I’m missing something.

I had the same impression as you. They didn't even close the door on some of those "missing" features; rather they're being judicious about what to include in the initial release. Classic 80/20.
