@overcastfm if I come to this episode info screen from the widget when the app was closed, I can’t play this podcast episode from this screen. Both ▶️ icons play the previously playing episode.
@gruber The other way to interpret Ke Yang's departure is that nobody on Earth has made an LLM reliable enough for turning the lights on and off, and he is leaving for a role where that doesn't matter after LLMs hit that brick wall, again.

@gruber Apple would happily forego a year of Apple Wallet growth to avoid F1 appearing to be a failure. Doesn't matter if it's ¢1 on the dollar - these pennies are more important than those dollars.

It's just so weird that they made a movie so big they can't afford to get a PR black eye... and they cast a guy with two PR black eyes.

@atpfm How stingy is the api for AR really? I know they prohibit eye tracking, but can the user enable camera access so the app can identify nearby objects?

I want Delicious Library AR that shows me where an object was when it got scanned, brings up a library entry when it sees a barcode, etc.

Is that remotely allowed? Or they are too worried Amazon will do it so it’s off the table.

@gruber Isn’t the whole point of the Core Technology Fee to keep the freeware on the official store only? Without it, there would be free, high quality SNES emulators driving everyone to alternative stores in droves. They will never give an exemption if they don’t have to.

@atpfm okay thank you guys so much but Siracusa really answered a different question. The best designers make the best designs yes, but what is good about these designs? Is careful workload optimization (objc_msgSend branch predictor) the whole ideological approach or is there some other thing? Is anyone working out ALL the details?

And yes it’s Buckaroo Banzai but it’s Charles Ponzi, so I’d say Pon-zee.

This feels like I’m coming after Siracusa but I love you all and Siracusa first among equals.

@atpfm What is so much better about apple’s chip designs? Besides tailoring to their own needs and monopsony access to smaller process nodes. They must have some design principle or innovation that stops Samsung and Qualcomm from catching up, right? #askatp
