ChatGPT just told me to put the turkey in my toaster oven legs facing the door, and you think it can replace school. Unless there is a massive architectural change that can be provably verified by third parties, this can never be. I’d hate for my unschooled surgeon to check an llm while I’m under.

Yeah, when I started I actually had no intention of doing a chat app, but it was a good way to learn how it works. Eventual goal with this is a sort of hybrid notes app. Not an llm bolted into Notes, either, but kind of a mix. Find myself using the llm app as a knowledge repo and it’s just not built for that. I’ll post a TestFlight link later if you want to try it out.

Thanks for checking it out. Thinking to do a more file/notes focused version esp on mac because it’s blazing fast there.

I feel confident that we do.

Hear! Hear!

It’s inert, how bad could it be? /s

Commendable. I’m starting out on my second attempt at a learning app in my life, and I feel the same.

One of these is not like the other.

My money is on a larger iPad (think Microsoft Studio) that takes the place of an iMac. Likely 15” at first, larger later. I really enjoy a keyboard and trackpad with an iPad and an external monitor. This would be my only machine if I could run Xcode/Terminal on it.

Your point is true, but this “interview” is mostly nonsensical fearmongering with no substance.

There were lots of earthquakes before 2004, and 2012, etc.

Great point. What could another reason be for not doing so?

The person is saying one thing then denying saying that thing and being a jerk about it. Either a bot or someone with a broken thesaurus. Glad you pointed it out because it’s ridiculous/risible.

So now all the pieces are in place for the wealthy to survive on their yachts while the rest of us burn up from climate change.

This is incredibly interesting. Not something I had read about before.

Literal knots in RNA! It’s like a sabotage (in the etymological sense), a wrench in the gears of protein.

exacerbate [https://www.wordnik.com/words/exacerbate] is the word. No hate here, it’s just a weird word ;)

All fine and good, but wouldn’t you need to list the price of your vehicle as well?

Just one little old scandal, huh.

This is the show that sparked me to pursue engineering. Cannot recommend it highly enough. The original was a masterpiece.

To clarify, as the dialogue could be construed otherwise, Larry was actually very humble. While he was not as famous as he should have been, he had so much influence on the industry, it could easily go to your head. He was very approachable and helpful, and overall a generous and kind person. Will be sorely missed.

This breaks my heart. I used to work next to Larry—literally sat next to him—on Yahoo’s central design team. We were in frequent meetings together, but didn’t talk one-on-one often. One evening commuting from work, during one of many Caltrain failures, he noticed me as I waited outside the train and offered me a ride home. I remember sitting nervously in the car, a bit awestruck, and I finally got up the courage to ask him “Did you really invent copy and paste?!”

“Yes.”

From then on the ice was broken and we chatted more freely: fun discussions about the (then) up-and-coming voice recognition UIs (I compared them to CLIs which he liked), wearables, design, and cycling.

I consider him a friend. Didn’t expect us to lose him so soon.

“The Winter of our Disc Content” (January 1992).

Brilliant!

It was likely due to HEVC licensing. HEIF is just the container, so they still should’ve provided ways to generate .heif files using other codecs like JPEG.

They may have assumed that many people would associate HEIF with HEVC (what would technically be a .heic file), and wanted to avoid confusion. But we’re still confused!

Great read on a topic I've been looking for more info on, recently coding an audio app that needs to manipulate audio buffers. And this is the only way to access them. I've been working in swift since 1.0 and this is the first time this all makes sense.

Very cool. Might be nice for the example page to include real content--even a copy of the readme would suffice. But being able to click through various posts would give a better idea.

Really makes you wonder if viruses were the first forms of life, contrary to popular opinion.

Eradicate mosquitoes.

The article took a wrong turn for me. Seemed to say that there was a fallacy in assuming frequent users would understand you iconography, then goes on to praise exactly that, for popular sites.

I hope I don't ruin the joke by asking, is this a joke?

Subjective-C?
