I've done more debugging on this and created a test project. The unexpected view updates occur on all versions of SwiftData, from iOS 17 to 18.2. I've posted details to Apple's developer forums:

I'm pulling my hair out here. Has anyone had trouble where #SwiftData sends change notifications for unrelated entities? I have an app with Podcasts and Playlists, and setting the title of a Podcast is triggering a #SwiftUI view update that says \Playlist.name changed! I don't even have any relationships between those two model types, and I don't have any views that display Podcasts! It's like any change to any model object is triggering refreshes in my entire app. Any ideas?

#askatp In the quest for Vision Pro content, have Marco or Casey tried the Vimeo app for Vision Pro? Is there enough quality content there to move the needle on Vision Pro's value proposition?

@sundogplanets I'd take a look at the radio shows produced by ZBS. My wife and I listened to “The Fourth Tower of Inverness" and "Dreams of Rio" many times. Not exactly LOTR fantasy, but metaphysical adventure with great humor and sound effects.

@GustavinoBevilacqua For what it's worth, here's a link to what ChatGPT has to say on the subject. Calculating an answer may require information that is difficult to obtain. https://chatgpt.com/share/6740d790-ba80-8011-b743-85b43c423b8b

@GustavinoBevilacqua I think you’re missing an important factor: the mass/displacement of the boat. A dingy and a keelboat of the same length have very different stopping distances. That said, I wouldn’t know how to calculate the stopping distance even with that information.

@overcastfm I’m really liking the new Overcast! It is noticeably faster than the previous version. On the missing tap-to-play option: I’d appreciate a gesture like tap-and-hold to initiate immediate playback. It wouldn’t be discoverable, but it wouldn’t require an alternative UI, either.

@NefariousAryq Me too. Downdetector is showing a spike in iCloud login problems starting around 7:30 pm eastern time. I was in the middle of resetting my password with help from Apple Support when I got a “problem connecting to the server” error. I have no idea if my password is reset or not! #AppleID

We felt the NJ #earthquake here in Rhode Island. I could feel the house shaking for about 20 seconds, and the neighbors came out to confirm that each other felt it. You can report your experience of the earthquake to USGS here: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us7000ma74/tellus

Today is a *good* day! Hope @Moltz was okay with giving this tshirt to Tim!

Great to see @imyke there too though I was very awkward about it

EDIT: I’ve now written about how all this came to be for those interested https://jgulbrandsen.net/post/2024/02/i-gave-tim-cook-a-tshirt/

So, today I gave Tim Cook a Tim Cook t-shirt. And he hugged me. Here’s the story of how this went down.
