what is the name of the trustworthy kitchen stuff review site you guys mention near the end?

Really, progressive enhancement is not easy for this scenario if you also want to avoid a layout jank, though the popover api changes that

To be clear, it IS amazing that what is ultimately a bunch of correlations between the usage of words can do what they do, but these companies have poured billions of dollars trying to fix these fundamental shortcomings and nothing has worked

AI researchers very much do have an idea, but the idea that they’re this mystical and unknowable thing suits the hype machine. You should read this: garymarcus.substack.com/p/generative...
Generative AI’s crippling and widespread failure to induce robust models of the world
LLM failures to reason, as documented in Apple’s Illusion of Thinking paper, are really only part of a much deeper problem

I wonder if the dynamic is that this is something that you can just jump in and fiddle around with and pat yourself on the back for making climate progress while avoiding the much more difficult work of fundamentally reorienting the entire transportation system away from cars

- one the flip side, beating gold stake on each deck was generally pretty interesting because you really have to think about how to best lean into the deck’s gimmick.

(grinding out gold stickers on all the jokers, however, seems… bad)

- going past ante 8 is kind of boring once you’ve gotten to exponential notation once or twice, as there are relatively few strategies that can reliably get there and you really just have to fish for those

they could just put all the weird sticker/Memoji stuff from FaceTime into Photo Booth! My kids love that shit!

Really depends on the implementation of either.

well… the feed stopped updating without explanation after one of the hosts got accused of some shjtty behavior by his ex-wife during metoo

it’s too bad your name doesn’t end in a valid TLD

you don't have to caveat your argument with "except Math Notes, which rules", because it is not actually considered part of Apple Intelligence. as a bonus, that means every device that runs iOS 18 can use it!

also a hell of a thing to say after actively jettisoning tens of millions of users on iOS and Android by delisting the game as a stunt instead of removing direct purchase options and continuing to pay the 30%
