Given his track record, it's more likely than not that there's a causal relationship between this and ExxonMobil's (they own/operate a major U.S. helium source in Wyoming) $1M pay-to-play into Trump's 2025 inaugural fund.

That’s pre-Apple’s entry into the market, which will triple the size of the foldables market in the next 12-18 months. And cnsidering how bad foldables have been and how much better they’ll get, that’s surely not the ceiling.

In case other HNers have also not heard of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDIFACT

Since I’m in before the negativity: I love CSS! For whatever reason, it’s always made sense to me. I have great respect for everyone with the tenacity to push on improvements that might take 5-10 years to be in common use, if at all.

> I know what food I like, but that doesn't at all mean I know how to cook it.

Right, but you know what you like. The point is that you can tell the chef "too spicy" and send back the plate until you get what you want. He can then remember that, since you're his favorite regular.

I just went through this with a release notes skill. I brainstormed with the LLM about what I wanted, edited initial results when I saw something I didn't like or could be made better, than asked the LLM to capture that in the skill. Now I almost never need to touch it.

> I'm sure it's trivial for somebody who has studied communication or contemporary linguistics…

But you know what you like, and you know what bothers you, and the good news is that you don't have to one-shot a solution. You can create a skill and refine it over time. As you test and/or use it, identify copy you don't like and tell the LLM what you prefer instead, and ask it to distill and generalize that feedback into the skill.

That was it, exactly.

> "Turns out, this is part of macOS 27.0…"

Part of macOS 26.4, in fact: https://eclecticlight.co/2026/09/19/macos-tahoe-26-4-changed... "The layout of those hasn’t changed in over six years up to and including macOS Tahoe 26.3.1, but has altered in 26.4 and Golden Gate, with the addition of a new firmlinked directory pkg."

Apple doesn't do this stuff lightly. A search of WWDC sessions doesn't mention /pkg specifically, but I'd bet it's related to this: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2026/206/?time=6...

Namecheap cannot be trusted. I purchased a domain for a "normal" price (and yes, I have receipts). Shortly after they realized they fucked up, voided the purchase, and made it a $1,500 premium domain. Obviously, my recommendation is to avoid Namecheap.

It does work great generally. Here's what changing your foward-to looks like: https://imgur.com/a/feSBCCN

I migrated family email hosting from Google Workspace to Apple iCloud+ Custom Email Domains a few years ago and it's been smooth sailing. Few people realize that Apple has been a high-volume email host since long before Google Mail. This is the guide I used: https://blah.cloud/miscellaneous/migrating-google-workspaces...

I believe you, just suggesting that the issue may not be quite as general. I have a 64GB Studio M1 Max, so the years of hardware/firmware differences between us may be relevant as well. Hope you find a solution!

This isn't happening for me, if by "over time" you mean "several weeks" of heavy GPU use without a reboot. Consider the possibility that the root cause is not macOS.

As a Claude Code main, I've really enjoyed working with DS4F in omp. https://omp.sh/

Good stop-gap in that thread: https://github.com/Prowlarr/Prowlarr/issues/2329#issuecommen...

Also, I tried to reproduce this by updating to the latest Keynote and couldn't. Are we sure this is real and not just rage-bait?

I like the optimism. It reminds me of what we said about the Internet and the World Wide Web.

> There's no way to deliver a running program which you can't decompile aiui.

This may be straightforward on Android, but is it on iOS?

"No way to deliver a running program which you can't decompile" seems less like a rule of nature than the way it happens to work now. I don't think it's extreme to imagine that likely a side effect of this AI-driven gold rush to "free the IP" will be the further lockdown of general purpose computing.

> Does the apple tv do acr? It has to, to do the first party "magic" it does.

You're just making stuff up. Apple TV does not do ACR.

Apple does provide a TV App API that allows select app developers to get a special entitlement allowing them to contribute viewing data. Read this carefully: https://developer.apple.com/support/terms/apple-developer-pr...

"Apple will obtain user consent based on the user’s Apple Account before including Your Licensed Application in the TV App Features displayed under that Apple Account. Apple will also provide users with the ability to withdraw such consent at any time thereafter and to delete their TV App Data from Apple’s systems."

> The new CPU (A19) should have hardware decoding for both AV1 and VP9. Apple doesn't advertise the latter…

VP9 support is just as promiment as AV1 support in the specs. https://www.apple.com/apple-tv-4k/specs/

Thank you! I'd made sure the source link doesn't require a Facebook account (just close the dickover), and here's a Twitter mirror by Steven Sinofsky as well: https://x.com/stevesi/status/2109528428265570793

FYI, Siri was effectively "fixed" as of OS 27. This is why Apple is finally able to launch their Siri-centric home products tomorrow. https://pogueman.substack.com/p/125-tests-of-the-new-ai-siri

For me (M1 Studio) it works at least as well and as quickly as Handy or GhostPepper, which are considered two of the best. (Turn on with Keyboard > Dictation, works anywhere you can type text.)

> In my own projects now, large or small, I refuse to use CSS broadly. Except for a few global styles in a single small CSS file, I use inline styles for pretty much everything, combines with other code in a neatly composable components. This works very well.

Inline styles are CSS. It sounds like you find components easier to compose when their CSS is applied directly to elements rather than via selectors, which is totally reasonable. But doesn't that undercut the broader claim that CSS itself somehow inherently breaks composability?

You should read TFA. Among it's many unambiguous claims is that the root cause was extensive dumping at Morgans Farm by Robins of Herstmonceux, and that fixing it could be model for how to fix similar problems throughout Britain.

As a kid, it was incredibly exciting to see in person! It was pretty small (had a 9" CRT) and $200 (~$650 today). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vectrex

Not a dupe! That article is neutral reporting of the merger's approval, where this one is an opinionated take on its likely effects. I don't think most people understand that Oracle is now overboard, its future in doubt because of $82B in giant concrete shoes, and is now in a position to take Paramount and Warner Brothers down with it.

Adding insult to injury, Pi apparently considers low Tolkien usage to be beneficial.

Out of curiosity, have you come across Axiom (https://charleswiltgen.github.io/Axiom/) in your quest for more effective AI-assisted iOS coding?
