Working in an #AI Code Assistant app like #Cursor or #Cline, have you ever had multiple windows open, and typed the prompt intended for one window inside the other one?

The bewildered sense of utter confusion, yet willingness to do anything you ask…

Have a long article related to #Apple, #siri, #appleintelligence, #Matter, and #HomeKit rattling around my brain.

It's all connected, and it goes back 20 years. Trying to decide if it's worth going down the rabbit-hole...

Prediction: The Chinese #AI models like #Qwen #deepseek and #Ernie will do to #AIML software what Shenzhen did for US electronics manufacturing.

It's an impressive feat of technology and business. Not sure if 5-year business moats can exist any more.

You know what would be a good use for AI on #Apple devices?

Have it automatically detect scam text messages, flag them, and put them in a special folder, or auto-delete them. All of this could be done on-device without violating privacy.

I don't need my messages summarized. I want to not worry about elderly relatives getting their savings stolen.

Had an interesting session with #Claude / #cursorai today. Working on an #ionic #vue web page. Nothing complicated. A text label was getting clipped behind a toolbar. A simple solution: add some vertical padding to the CSS on top and it pops right down. Easy peasy. Right?

Went to the #AI mavens, just for fun, and HOLY CRAP!They propose an entire revised view hierarchy. Utter chaos. Massive changes across multiple files. I'm staring at it, literally 😱

It's like your 'coding partner' turning into a meth-addled conspiracy theorist. I'm thinking a newbie in a similar position is going to click 'accept' and end up hating life. This is where we are.

Zakir Hussain: Legendary tabla player dies at 73

The Indian classical music icon died of a lung disease at a hospital in San Francisco.

So… any idea how would to go about removing a decomposing rodent from the sealed under-carriage of an #EV?

Asking for a friend.
