The scariest thing to me about AI is not what it can do, but that someday public access might be lost and governments/ billionaires would hold exclusive reign. Today could be the l…

I thought the same thing at the 2024 WWDC

Seemed like the kids were no longer looking at the camera. I don't know what's worse - fixing it or not fixing it.

I’m normally a “to each his own” guy but have to say I strongly disagree with a lot of these comments. First of all, you absolutely can do it as a solo entrepreneur - I just comple…

fwiw i agree - i mean, i just want to add a button. it's a bit shocking that's literally not possible

(see demo at bottom of gist) Type your goal then press [ESC]+[;] ChatGPT explains the command, options, and places the command on your prompt, ready to edit or run. > $ list images…

Why?

Great concept, sharp looking website, and the marketing video looks amazing! Personally, I've got some fatigue from most AI solutions being less than half baked. I'd love to see a …

Need some vocal version of “heredoc”

I built a simple web app for my kids to color a character template, then see their creations dance on a screen (almost instantly). It was inspired by the Crayola Experience in Dall…

With Apple/iOS, I can’t help but think of the Joker’s quote, “You have nothing… Nothing to do with all your strength.” The efficiency half is excellent but what with the power? AR?…

A long time ago I came up with a dozen or so “camouflage” ringtones designed to blend in. One was just a vibration sound effect. Others just slowly faded in. The idea was if you ac…

I very strongly disagree with the dark sky example. Apple forced developers to completely reintegrate with the new API and released a vastly inferior weather app for consumers. Soo…

Is there a way to "vote" on these types of proposals? (Just asking for a friend who sees this as bloat and does not want to deal with other people's code which uses this unnecessar…

I’ve always wished a movie hacker would hack a CDN to take over every web page in the world. I don’t know what the real percentage would be, but it’d be more believable than a lot …

If you feel like you have decent math chops, i would use that time and money on online training, hardware, develop a portfolio of projects that demonstrate your new skills, and mak…

Is M3 the same single core speed on all platforms (e.g. air vs pro vs mini, etc)? In other words, would m3 mbpro single core benchmarks be basically the same as this new air?

Depends very much on what you're doing. DisplayLink adds noticeable lag, compression artifacts, and will prevent HDCP video from playing on all monitors including ones not using Di…

...It is actually the NCAA regional semifinals, but again - not the topic of this article.

The speculation is fascinating. For most people, their guess is a reflection of themselves. Is there a term for that? This is a gross generalization, but I've seen... - Science peo…

Every year I teach a few weeks of "coding" at my kids elementary school. I always start with the Peanut Butter Sandwich and it's a huge hit. For time's sake, i print & cut out 30-4…

After years of obj-c I wrote a rather larger app on Swift 1.1. I'll never forget the pain of upgrading to each new version of Swift. And my god, the pain of early swift string mani…

If AE is your desired career path then buckle up… it’s a cut throat sh*t storm of putrid culture and gross mismanagement. Anything different is an exception. I disagree this is (de…

I’ve wondered the same about flying drones. I ruined a drone once so then I spent a lot of time trying to learn on the DRS app but it feels almost impossible. Is that a realistic s…
