So walking back some of the Liquid Glass insanity and better search. Okay, glad I skipped Tahoe.

The kill switch is M365 account management. You take that offline, many SME’s and local governments just stop working. At least for a while.

Still baffles me that Outlook won’t let me tie together emails, calendar items and documents. It makes so much sense to combine these things. All my meetings are about documents and their related correspondence but you never have a coherent

Yes. For some people product owners don’t want to hear this. If having access to email means you can access the account then don’t prance around that with complicated recovery steps.

Well maybe you lose your ability to focus or your sanity or your privacy but yeah.

Well if we just store the inputs and outputs of the LLM on the blockchain we’ve just created a secure end to end AI-managed tender process. In fact we can automatically pay out the contractor in AlbaCoins now. Click here to prebuy AlbaCoins

Us Europeans are just baffled by the fact that this ‘administration’ wants this. The EU is a big economy that’s relatively easy to deal with. Why would you alienate us? But yeah so far Trump has been relatively true to his word, as far as i

My colleagues at the head of a company. I’m one of four bosses. One of us is pushing for AI every single meeting. The other is ignoring her. The last one is starting to ‘see her point.’ I’m considering quitting if this goes to far but unwil

The recent blog post discusses moving into the email space and suggests some interesting uses of LLM’s for handling mail (sorting and labeling rather than writing). I’ve been quite pleasantly surprised with the Kagi products so far and woul

I’m still hurting from when I didn’t listen to Yamaha’s warnings about the dangers of piano music.

Prose like an adventure novel, content like a space opera. Lots of overconfident crystal ball gazing. Yep, must be a “future of AI” piece.

Looks good. I liked Notion but hated that I can’t migrate my data in the future. Are there any good ways to attach files to notes? I often want to tie a memo or email to a note but have not found a convenient way.

Yeah and now people who can’t even write and never put in the effort to learn it are flooding the zone (my inbox) with useless 10 page memo’s.

Gaaf. I’ve written a piece of software using egui and while it let me iterate fast it has its limitations. There’s also gpui but that’s very Mac centric for now… I’ll give this a go in the near future. I’m a little curious about the DSL th

Excel is not even Excel anymore. It’s different on Windows, Mac, web, mobile… And there’s different bugs across all them! My favorite ones have to do with regional defaults.

The reason people fret over this war is not because they care for the poor people of Ukraine. They (we, Europeans) care because we have the Huns at the gate. Ukraine happens to be the gate.

The book isn’t free, its contents are published online by the author. Yes, nitpicking. But (1) I like a well formatted epub and (2) the author/publisher still hold copyright.

The Rust Programming Language does a great job imho. It got me up to speed by reading it before bed for a month. I’d never written C/C++ before, just a lot of Python. It starts out really simply by explaining the type system and the bo

The uncertainty is there, for sure. Just look at the index YTD and then consider that the AI hype is in full swing and that Trump promises huge tax cuts to business. Stocks should be soaring but looks like not everyone buys the story. It’s

It’s still the case in my opinion. Yes, you can fiddle to make it work. You can set sane defaults. The heuristics for applying styles etc apparently are not clever enough because sometimes you still get strange results. Comparing it to the

How do you mean? Who upholds those codified freedoms? Many democratic countries have similar fundamental laws that are explicitly hard to change or bypass. In the end though all rules are either enforced by some authority or they are mere s

Kagi has been slowly positioning itself as the single point of entry for both search and AI. They offer some LLM integrations and are working on making the whole experience well integrated. Not a bad idea, just quite hard to pull off when M

Right. And the vacations are something you ‘give’ your kids too. You won’t lie on your deathbed and think: “I shouldn’t have taken my kids to Vienna that summer. Should’ve put it all in Vanguard ETFs. Man what a bummer.” If your kids apprec

This is the only diagramming language I end up actually using. And even then I usually end up redoing everything in OmniGraffle after I’ve roughed out a draft.
