Good news: Xcode 26.1 includes a reasoning selector for GPT-5.

Have you ever zoomed in on a map at the edges of Las Vegas? Sends a shiver down your spine just by looking at it. Hell on earth. It just… ends.

I think I've been radicalized as officially an OpenAI hater. No OpenAI model has hit the top spot on LMArena for about a year, and it shows. They all kind of suck. They had a winner with 4o for a little while, then Google swept the floor and Anthropic brought taste to the space.

Belated, but still here. First impressions:
- The form ear tips are much firmer. I like them!
- Noise Cancellation is obviously good, but Transparency mode got way better.
- They're more bassy and too muted in the high end. They need some EQ tweaking.

Notion's iOS app has been updated for Liquid Glass, but it seems really half-baked. I assume they'll do more over time.

I've intentionally been punishing this thing. It's impossible to run out of battery. This is the normal, non-Pro model. I've never seen anything like it.
