But enough about Mac OS Tahoe!

A five year old is going to find "just squeeze" easier than doing that.

Maybe you can help bump FB13400242, a bug that is _literally_ going to kill people. (The bug is that to make an emergency call, even from lock screen, you're supposed to be able to squeeze buttons on either side of the phone. But it only works with the volume buttons on the left - the Action button didn't get supported, when that button was added. So now the rule for teaching a small child isn't just "squeeze both sides" it's "oh but not that one!")

(Yes, this came close to killing someone close to me. Fortunately someone else happened to come along to help.)

"Sorry my card reader isn't working, cash only."

"Oh, sorry, I don't carry cash. Better luck next time man!"

"Oh it just started working."

Well, as one data point, I've been driving in the Northeast US since 1996, mostly around Philadelphia and Boston, and that has never once happened to me.

> I'm not saying there are literally no computers in existence that might have this much space on a single filesystem

I don't use it for sqlite, but having multi-petabyte filesystems, in 2025, is not rare.

What does this have to do with Claude Code?

GLENDOWER: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.

HOTSPUR: Why, so can I, or so can any man; But will they come when you do call for them?

Everything is “just” ones and zeros, but saying that doesn’t help with understanding.

I'd be smart from the very beginning.

ios has a sticker-effect (“shiny”) like this which has the added bonus of responding directly to phone tilt. the first time i saw it I actually gasped.

More than 99.9% of web users have never heard of javascript.

Hah! I thought we were the only ones. I was using it to watch the screen of a machine with no other out-of-band monitoring, in a server room in 2002, mostly because "I've been using it forever and it still works".

Were you really still using CUSeeMe in 2001+ (when the tibook was released)?

But you shouldn't optimize for the edge case! (All of my 20k+ photos, dating back to 1905, have correct metadata + GPS).

On the other hand, it has no understanding of time. I have thousands of photos of me from the 1970s up through today, and Apple Photos is remarkably good at identifying me in all of them. And yet when my daughter was born it started identifying her, as a baby, as me. You'd think you could build a model to grasp the idea that a photo of a baby taken in 2015 is probably not of me.

Oh, interesting - when you do voice chat now it appears to be using 4o.

Step two: make the seats smaller and smaller and smaller until MOST people have to buy multiple seats. Over 150 lbs / 70 kg? Two seats, sorry, nothing we can do, that’s the rule.

Hmm. It's not happening to me any more - I just checked. And it definitely was before.

Just FYI, that specific bug (repeating your custom stuff back to you in voice mode) was fixed a few days later.

that was the joke, yes

I find his content wildly good but his voice to be so grating I can barely stand it.

You say this like it’s only Costco that has return bays. I’ve rarely encountered ANY store that has shopping carts but doesn’t have return bays throughout the parking lot.

"You have a million dollars? Damn man you a regular Elon Musk or something"

I probably have 20-30 “personal”events a week. But that’s because I have two kids.

I think you're reading more into this than I meant. For example, today:

    [todo/home] clean air filters
    [todo/home] take out trash
    [todo/home] refill [daughter]'s medication
    [work] 9:30 meeting with [person]
    [home] 10:30 doctor appt @ 313 river
    [home] 11:30 [daughter] dropoff at middle school orientation
    [work] 13:45 meeting with [person]
    [home] 16:00 [daughter] cello lesson
    [todo/work] 16:45 check if zpool is done resilvering
    [home] 19:30 ?outdoor contradance @ c?

I cannot imagine how people operate without a calendar. How would you remember a half dozen or dozen things, every day, some of which might have been scheduled weeks or months in advance?

I'm very confused. I'm in Boston, and if I face 270, I get Canada, but if I face 269.9, I get Mexico.

I feel like there should be something across the Pacific between Canada and Mexico.

This has not been a true statement about Apple in more than a quarter century.

I'm calendar-driven to such an extent that I joke that all it would take to murder me would be to insert "jump off a cliff" in my calendar.

A remarkable number of people seem to think "let's add AI to this!" is (a) always the thing to do and (b) don't even examine the output once before having it go live (or afterwards either).
