I don’t think it can change my mind about the sidebar on iPadOS and macOS.

the real reason why SF is 6 months ahead on AI is just physics: shipping a SOTA model from the bay area to NYC is a logistical nightmare imagine what it took to bring Opus 4.7 to Europe (we don't have trains here) 😢
People at major AI labs (using internal models) 3-4 months ahead of startup silicon valley engineers SV founders/eng 3-6 months ahead of NY NY founders/eng 6-12 months ahead of rest of world Most people have no idea how fast AI shifting as 1-2 years behind SOTA "The future is here, just not equally distributed" - Robert Heinlein

Nick Bostrom says we may have “100% infant mortality.” We develop for a few decades, then stagnate, then die. If full human maturity takes thousands of years, we’ve never seen a fully developed human.

If you have a Thunderbolt or USB4 eGPU and a Mac, today is the day you've been waiting for! Apple finally approved our driver for both AMD and NVIDIA. It's so easy to install now a Qwen could do it, then it can run that Qwen...

Plato was refuted over 2 millenia ago and Bishop Berkeley again over 3 centuries ago. We’re in the universe. It was here before we were. We construct *knowledge of* all reality. We do not construct *all* of reality - but we can transform parts of it.

An ever better self driving car makes fewer errors. It’s ever more safe. It does precisely what programmers intend it to. It *obeys*. An AGI will be a person. A person, to create new knowledge *must make* (then correct) errors. People are dangerous. They can always disobey.

Great series on Apple design over the years, including the move to flat design in iOS 17 and neumorphism in macOS and iOS 26. youtu.be/jG2iaU-JVhI?si=nQuc…

The Next button is disabled, yet it appears more prominent than the Cancel button (which is enabled). Even more confusing, you can still interact with it, but its action won’t be triggered. Totally misleading 🤦‍♂️
