Is the page about intelligent UI made with Intelligent UI? It should be.

First thing to ask is a design teardown of AI Slop images into individual artistic choices.

Jokes aside: always having the right UI on a dataset is a very cool promise and this looks like a leap in that direction.

True. In a highly tweakable / customizable OS you only get what you want. But you first need to understand what that means.

If you understand what that means, you can strip down any OS to the bone and will still be productive with it.

Local LLM’s take up a bunch of space today, where Apple believes this is valuable for their users. 12 GB is still smaller than the regular coding models, so they are trying to keep disk space usage in check.

“Some people” arguments always hold true.

Old classmates back in the day used to hate the 128 × 128 px icons macOS shipped. A waste of space for eye candy.

12 GB is at most 4.68% of your Mac. Improving on Apple Intelligence is something of value, as is consumerizing local-first AI.

We’re not talking adware here.

Thanks, this is one of these small things I’m used to working around instead of finding a solution.

Countless times I’ve used the browser address bar to reduce text to plain text. Which in some browsers doesn’t work anymore (feature): which could be worked around by pasting more, then removing a character. - It was fast and always in view. The real issue is that I usually don’t want formatting… until I do. :)

Never a wrong time to promote windows 11 debloat [1]. Not affiliated.

Used it a few days ago for the first time and it transformed the stinking pile of poorly designed adware to something that resembles a pretty decent operating system.

Someday we’re gonna miss the times where models create jank.

These results get better and better, but the half-baked pac mans games and pelicans are just funny.

You cannot prompt that level of brokenness. Same for those slop-posters you see everywhere.

For various reasons.

From what I get from it, it describes a complex technical + social system that has been exploited to the max leading to insane pricing, risks and a ban. They want to do that again it seems.

That this specific algorithm isn’t revealed is the joke: it’s a complete fraud, their secret uber elite algorithm will favor nobody except the owners obviously.

It’s super nerdy and it took some effort, at least for me, to understand the fun.

I might have completely missed the mark as everything about this subject, such as the Wikipedia article and so on are completely new to me.

I’ll be there and bring my average model citizen CYBER collection in display cases.

I’ve ordered hundreds of thousands of stickers with this meme already. [1]

Really looking forward to the event again.

“Hi Codex, please find attached website about the specification of my Battlesuit and use the documented API to create a plugin for Home Assistant that shows groups of sensor data.

You are only allowed to use commands that retrieve data, you are not allowed to perform actions on the suit.

Treat the suit like its API is not robust and in worse shape than a cheap toy: perform read calls slowly and sequentially with at least one minute in between.

If possible please group data in meaningful categories, just like the tank and radar dome.

My Home Assistant is the default on the local network, credentials are in credentials.txt.

Please send me a text when you’re done. Kthnxbye”

Using slop constructs to convey intricacies about beautiful design is the purest form of anti-design.

Without any warranty, you need to get rid of NotificationCenter and usernoted. The first gets rid of the gui, the second of the entire infrastructure.

launchctl disable "gui/$(id -u)/com.apple.notificationcenterui" killall NotificationCenter 2>/dev/null || true

launchctl disable "gui/$(id -u)/com.apple.usernoted" killall usernoted 2>/dev/null || true

To refine my statement on lazy or non-design. Notifications can be valuable, for me i'd like backup notifications and find my messages. Only those, ever. When only those are enabled, MacOS has their own secret settings and is allowed to nag about updates, incompatibility and maybe some other things i don't remember. Part of the problem is the illusion of control, and being spammy about self-importance of new OS versions. Great for some users, insulting to me.

This is made even worse by "focus" which still shows notifications but without the text. Then i'm distracted AND i don't know why.

Fun exercise to make something look like something we know, but actually isn’t. I love that kind of compression.

I think your article should use your own flags instead of the Unicode ones where possible :)

The globally distributed lookup table for Unicode flags takes 64 bits per search. You could point out that this is a tremendous waste of data for some flags :)

That is not what I’m saying.

Your statement is a logical puzzle about responsibility.

It implies that a law prevents responsibility. The opposite is true. Preventing harm is a concern that might form laws. But for many forms of harm, existing laws suffice and should lead to responsibility.

Shifting responsibility can be done in many ways, such as calling for a regulator. Like the law isn’t a regulator in the first place.

Normally I’d agree.

But my experience with 26 hasn’t been great. From the top of my head: Random repeated flashing window chrome in the background, notifications that keep on showing while everything is disabled, Finder tooltips from four windows down, tooltips that don’t disappear, Java update interruptions that hijack your flow - just when you where about to hit enter for something else the pop-up shows and bam: you’re installing it. There is nothing right about the update process of Java anyway. Spotlight search has completely stopped working. People I’m mailing with for over a decade are not suggested when drafting a mail. Clicking on the dock icon does not reveal the app. The list goes on and on. It has been a total grueling experience. Worst in all my experiences since System 7.

I’ve shut down the notification system at some point, which alleviated the constant reminders of non-compatibility with the next OS version. Being reminded of that four times a day for months on end is just insulting, even if I used compatible versions. There was no way to shut it off. Notifications are lazily designed and completely uninspired, as they could also adjust the app icons and so on and actually do it right.

I promised myself to update once it came out and then just screen record everything to collect residual garbage to help the Apple team make this stuff work well for everyone.

Sorry to let this all out, but it has been on my mind for a while and I’m happy they say they focussed on quality. Therefore I’m upgrading asap this time.

Most laws, if not all, for new technologies such as the internet and AI already exist.

For example: thievery, extortion, murder, etc. are already well-established crimes.

Putting "cyber" or "AI" in front of them makes it the same crime.

I'm really interested in what is actually new about these rules.

> We want to give people the ability to have cat ears and we believe that AGI is the only way to do it.

Speaking truthfully and from kindness.

My cable box Protips:

1: use transparent boxes like an 11l IKEA Samla so you can easily see what you have.

2: fold each cable in half or a few times more and apply the granny knot[1], this will prevent your cables becoming an entangles mess. There are superior(tm) ways to fold cables, but doing the granny knot for household cables seems the way to go. Doing festivals with retro gaming computers I’ve done this thousands of times and it’s fast, saves space, gives quick and reliable access and prevents damage by pulling on cables from clutter etc

3: use multiple boxes for different categories: audio, game computers, standard power cables, pc cables (sata, usb), power bricks and so on to have some sort of a system, any system will work

4: don’t keep an inventory list: let the anarchy that is you, your memory and family, add and take away cables ad hoc. You will forget what is in the box and that is fine.

5: don’t forget the box exists and look in the box :)

There are certainly pieces of code that should be put on display, for example productions from the demoscene[1] and competitions like the underhanded C contest [2].

The code in these cases is usually wizardry understood by a select few, but the stories, optimizations, trickery and even formatting can be told to anyone who loves design.

Thank you for pointing this our :)

> Having written extensively about how no one reads books anymore, he decided to turn the subject into a book, The New Dark Ages, published this week.

That’ll teach them.

Jokes aside, reading something doesn’t mean it’s valuable. I think people read more than ever. Subtitles, captions, social media posts, source code. Most of it is jank.

> people in positions of power and influence are now notably ignorant about history and the classics, comfortable only with referencing pop culture

Reads like unsourced depressionwave slop. First source that comes to mind: https://www.ranker.com/list/us-presidents-by-iq/lauren-slocu...

Assuming memory capacity would yield the best decisions and best leadership ignores charisma, personal life experience, sociopathy, interdependence, society, uncertainty about the future and more.

You can’t be too literate and educated: it’s a rat race / status race like any other.

Even if the classics and history siphon into modern productions such as Hades.

> The cultural elite has abandoned cultural elitism.

Cultural accessibility is at an all time high. Next to oceans of entertaining things more optimized for consumption it’s hard to stay relevant.

Expertise and being able to rely on others with expertise is more valuable than requiring every leader to have read the classics or being part of some intellectual elite. Knowing things is awesome mainly because it’s fast and helps with survival.

Requiring everyone to be an expert on everything is a form of punishment to all.

Edit: wrong any/every

They are technically incorrect.

Sundays last about 50 hours globally. From Kiritimati (UTC+14) to Baker Island and Howland Island (UTC-12).

I wish more sites would apply the 50 hours closing window, preferably 3.36 days a week.

Sure: zonemaster[1] is the tool we use [2]. It checks for keylengths and other things and allows policies to be defined on them. It comes with a fairly well defined / modern policy but in our Dutch .foundation article you can read that one should be a bit stricter. However, the default policy of zonemaster warns about the keylength of netnod.se [3]

Internet.nl does not look at DNSSEC that extensively, allowing poorer quality configurations to pass. You can see what they check in the explanations of both DNSSEC metrics [4]. See [5] for discussions about keylength.

Verisign does check for key validity but not for key strength / length as seen in your link.

We have a support ticket at Bunny that has been open for months precisely because they don’t provide state-of-the-art DNSSEC. We had to move to another provider, as we have a deadline to comply with at the end of this month. I don’t know what the issue is off the top of my head.

Netnod.se uses a DNSKEY that is too small on their main domain.

Rcodezero.at might indeed be something. Thanks.

We donate to deSEC, so it’s not free for us.

Such as? And do those solve the same thing? The post lists 8 headlines why it should be abolished.

That was fast.

The copy is "clearly" written with AI… too bad. Some organizations "can't go wrong with Big Blue," so this will probably be a success. Perhaps it's even good, but that's not the case with this sloppy copywriting.

First paragraph: focused, what matters, clean. Shame they didn't throw in a "load-bearing" example and a few pelicans to boot.

We found deSEC to be the only affordable DNS supplier in the EU that complies with state of the art secure DNSSEC. Highly recommended.

Would be nice. The point was that the stem separation models certainly are open. It could be integrated in Mixxx (if it isn’t already, it should).

Compared to the prices and licensing hell of NI and other dj brands, just paying 35 euro for a perpetual license to solve a problem and always have the best models delivered to you is actually nice. The price is fine for what it does and the consistency, support and positive energy that comes with it.

For dj use I recommend Nuo Stems, as it integrates with dj software. But you don’t need it if you only want to play with the models behind it.

That’s because it uses mel_band_roformer and bs_roformer which are really great stem separation models (i haven’t heard anything better yet).

Their page about stem separation quality is a nice place to start if you want to dive into these types of models: https://docs.nuo-stems.com/docs/stems-separation-quality

This is fun and will try to embed it in our project next week.

Sold me one, even though it doesn’t have Touch ID. It can be forgiven given the rest.

The mdial is amazing. The Nixie tube numbers are fun. The sleekness. And this website with all demo’s is really well made. Also the “about” site is cool.

You were not underpromising when stating Apple didn’t spend enough energy here. This is a leap. And I fully trust you’ll deliver.

If anything, why not work at Apple after this adventure and get these things (or another next level keyboard) out at massive scale?
