Nilay PatelAbsolute war waged on the shadows but notice how too-aggressive default HDR takes the highlights of the neon sign down to zero impact as well - no highs, no lows. All modern smartphone cameras do this now, the Xanax of photography

Marc EdwardsiOS 18 tip: You can delete Control Center pages, including the music and networking pages. To delete, long press to go into wiggle mode, then remove all widgets from the page you’d like to delete.
If you have only one page, it’s possible to swipe up to dismiss Control Center.
sdwNilay's review of iPhone 16 Pro on the Verge is fantastic and incredibly detailed on the photo processing front. Worth a read: https://www.theverge.com/24247538/apple-iphone-16-pro-review
And then there's this full comment from Apple’s Jon McCormack on the nature of a photo — truly wonderful:
Alt post: how many other details from today’s event could have been better fit into the time it took them to say “the big AirPod headphones now have USB-C and new colors”
I miss when Apple more appropriately played up the significance of their yearly iterations.
It’s definitely not been for awhile, but I sure do miss Steve Jobs’ simple “we think they’re just great” instead of all the ballyhoo they use now to talk about… many already existing features and designs.

Arne BrasseurI just recently realized that what I truly hate about LLMs is that it devalues language. I love language, I love using it very intentionally, I love how different people wield and work language differently. A well forged phrase can cut right to the soul. Language is literally magic. It can do things where man and machine all fail.
But now with the press of a button you can get sugary pink language goo in any shape you like. And this is sold as an equal replacement to real human language. The insult! The depravity!
I think it might say something about how far language is already devalued. We live in a morass of content marketing and business process documentation and terms and conditions and propaganda and spam. All soulless language that nobody asks for but that people are compelled to create. We can't imagine not creating such language goo. And so we're grateful for the pink goo machine.
You know those stories about how there was once magic in the world but it was lost? This is it. This is how it happens.
