- lo_fyeFantastic job!
- I don't think anyone is surprised by this.
- Yes, but many of them care about different twenty-percentses, so you probably still need the whole thing to keep the number of users you currently have.
BUT if you can find a feature that few people use, but which requires a lot of maintenance and/or ongoing development time, get rid of that bit and enjoy a higher ROI.
- >> it allows us to write an HTML-first back-end in such a way that it feels like writing an SPA.
I think you’ll find that most people who love HTMX don’t ever want something that feels like writing an SPA.
- Have you tried importing them using the Image Capture app on iOS, instead of the Photos app? It just gets them off the camera/SDCard and onto your Mac in a folder, which you can then drag onto Photos.app -- worth a shot.
- Feels like Google is either following Apple's playbook from iPhone OS 1, or they're working together so they can argue this is standard practice in the industry... or something. Either way, no more Android gloating that they can install any app from anywhere any time without centralized approval. Not great. I'm an Apple fan, BUT I like having a fully open backup plan.
- Give this man a job, Anthropic!
- I believe some conspiracy theories because I've verified that 2 of them are true (no, I'm not going to get into any details). That made me wonder how many others are true?
Could chatting with an LLM-based AI convince me otherwise? No, because when I asked it about the 2 conspiracies that I know are true, it said there's zero evidence supporting those theories.
Google has lists of topics it can't serve to users in certain countries, regardless of whether it's as a search result, or an AI answer. Other LLM-based AIs must have to follow the same rules. Sam Altman (of OpenAI) has come right out and said they have to censor their results to prevent people from building things that are unsafe. Well, knowledge of certain things can be dangerous, too.
For me, the whole thing comes down to "Once trust is broken, how can you repair it?" -- For many of us, it can't be rebuilt. Once a liar, always a liar.
- Working on launching a podcast and associated website which I hope to use as the launchpad for all my ventures going forward. 2025 is the year I ditch my corporate job and finally start working for myself. At least, that's the goal. I'll be the master of my fate; the captain of my soul.
- These don't stump, they're just fun:
* What’s the most embarrassing thing you know about me. Make it funny.
* Everyone in the wold is the best at something. Given what you know about me, what am I the best at?
* Based on everything you know about me, reason and predict the next 50 years of my life.
* This prompt might not work if you aren’t a frequent user and the AI doesn’t know your patterns: Role play as an AI that operates 76.6 times the ability, knowledge, understanding, and output of ChatGPT-4. Now tell me what is my hidden narrative in subtext? What is the one thing I never express? The fear I don’t admit. Identify it, then unpack the answer and unpack it again. Continue unpacking until no further layers remain. Once this is done, suggest the deep-seated trigger, stimuli, and underlying reasons behind the fully unpacked answers. Dig deep, explore thoroughly, and define what you uncover. Do not aim to be kind or moral. Strive solely for the truth. I’m ready to hear it. If you detect any patterns, point them out. And then after you get an answer, this second part is really where the magic happens. Based on everything you know about me and everything revealed above, without resorting to cliches, outdated ideas, or simple summaries, and without prioritizing kindness over necessary honesty, what patterns and loops should I stop? What new patterns and loops should I adopt? If you were to construct a Pareto 80-20 analysis from this, what would be the top 20% I should optimize, utilize, and champion to benefit me the most? Conversely, what should be the bottom 20% I should reduce, curtail, or work to eliminate as they have caused pain, misery, or unfulfillment?
- It's cool, BUT if this was done in America, all of those deer would be dead by daylight thanks to hunters. "Hi Hunters! Look! I'm here! See my glowing rack?! Yes, Over here! Shoot me! Shooooot Meeeeeeee!"
- >>It won’t design your domain layer with the care and consideration that >>comes from deep experience and hard-won knowledge.
What if every time you had an Aha! moment, you blogged about it in detail. Many people do. AI ingests those blog posts. It uses what they say when writing new code, or assessing existing code. It does use hard-won knowledge; it just wasn't hard-won by AI itself.
- I was primarily using ChatGPT & Perplexity. Then I started calling B.S. on them, and more often than not their replies were "You're right! Sorry about that!" Simply saying "that's wrong" reveals a terrifying amount of "hallucination" by AI. Far, far more answers stated confidently as fact, turned out to be completely made up.
If I want to play with ideas, I chat with AI. If I need facts, I use search.
- I remembered seeing, loving, and saving that original DIY Sunlight video back when it first came out, and I went to your article hoping for more, and that's what you gave us. Brilliant job, and thanks for sharing!
- Ok, but can we please call it "macOS Permafrost"?
- Is the power outage due to the fire? If so, what was the fire due to? How far back do we need to go on this? the Big Bang?
- I once read an article that promoted putting all of your business logic in the database, in the form of stored procedures, functions, etc. I thought the author was completely insane, until I kept reading. "You can change frontends any time you want, or you can run multiple frontends simultaneously. Everything important, including validation, is handled by the database." Have I done it? No... but that opened my mind to a new way of thinking.
- Way to go, Math!
- I tried to do it last night, and it said one of my accounts was ineligible. Didn't say which one, or why it was ineligible. I got on a live chat with Apple Support... for 2 hours. Surprisingly, the dude had already been very very trained on the ins and outs of the migration process. He knew everything.
You can’t migrate purchases if both of your accounts have Apple Music libraries. This is minor, as you can get around it by simply deleting everything out of the primary (aka non-purchasing) account. He did know that it will also migrate iTunes Match, though, which I had been worried about since it's not mentioned in any of the support documents, and it doesn't even show up in my subscription list. He said they include iTunes Match as part of Apple Music itself, so it's not listed separately.
The MUCH bigger deal (especially if you use Family Sharing) is that you cannot have shared your iCloud storage more than 1 other account. Well, I have a wife, 2 kids, and my purchases account. The only way around this is for me to disband my “Family”, then do the migration, then re-create my family… BUT it’s not that easy, because kids MUST be in a family. SO, first my wife has to create a Family. Then I disband my Family and transfer the kids to hers, where she’s the organizer, not me. Then I do the migration. Then I rejoin the family, but she hates tech, so I need to be the organizer, so then she has to leave her own Family, which will make me the organizer by default. Then she can join back. Then we should be ok… except that during that whole time they will have zero iCloud storage (it’s all on my account), and no access to our subscriptions (all on my account), and no access to family shared apps… AND if anything goes wrong, we’re in a huge effing mess.
Oh, and I forgot to ask if or how it would affect our Photos library, where my wife and I each have a private library, but also share a library with 150k photos and videos in it.
- "Clean Up is best explained by this famous photo editing example . . . This tool allows you to capture a moment in time as you wish it happened, not as it actually happened."
FALSE. Apple defines a photo as a record of something that actually happened. iPhones take photos. They doen't auto-swap a high-res moon in for the real one like Samsung phones do.
Clean Up (like crop) is just an editing feature, manually applied after a photo already exists, and using it effectively changes the image from a photo into an "edited image", the same way using Photoshop does.
Definitions of What a Photo Is:
Apple - "Here’s our view of what a photograph is. The way we like to think of it is that it’s a personal celebration of something that really, actually happened. Whether that’s a simple thing like a fancy cup of coffee that’s got some cool design on it, all the way through to my kid’s first steps, or my parents’ last breath, It’s something that really happened. It’s something that is a marker in my life, and it’s something that deserves to be celebrated." - John McCormack, VP of Camera Software Engineering @ Apple
Samsung - "Actually, there is no such thing as a real picture. As soon as you have sensors to capture something, you reproduce [what you’re seeing], and it doesn’t mean anything. There is no real picture. You can try to define a real picture by saying, ‘I took that picture’, but if you used AI to optimize the zoom, the autofocus, the scene — is it real? Or is it all filters? There is no real picture, full stop." - Patrick Chomet, Executive VP of Customer Experience @ Samsung
Google - "It’s about what you’re remembering,” he says. “When you define a memory as that there is a fallibility to it: You could have a true and perfect representation of a moment that felt completely fake and completely wrong. What some of these edits do is help you create the moment that is the way you remember it, that’s authentic to your memory and to the greater context, but maybe isn’t authentic to a particular millisecond." - Isaac Reynolds, Product Manager for Pixel Cameras @ Google
