Is there any way I can make Google Maps stop showing hotel prices for Super.com, and basing the displayed map-pin prices on them?

It's literally ALWAYS fake. Every time.

It is never actually available at that price. It's a total scam.

And it makes Google Maps really hard to use, and trust, for hotel searches.

OK nevermind, THIS is the coolest thing I’ve ever done to my iPhone

I hate how #music search works on most sites.

The fact that I can make a local MCP server, using a local-LLM, and just tell it what I want completely blows my mind.

I've done like 50 examples playing with this, and they all work wonderfully.

My favorite examples are pictures 2 and 3. Prompt was "It's 1997 and i want some rap/hip-hop", but it's not what I really wanted.

Next prompt is "hmm, i don't like puff daddy. can you redo this but only west-coast rap"

This is *exactly* how I want computers to function.

Apple has confirmed they will be using "Google's technology" as the foundation for Apple Foundation Models later this year.

So many questions left unanswered, but very excited to see where this goes: https://www.macstories.net/news/apple-confirms-ai-partnership-with-google/

In the latest update, you can now skip reruns of old episodes and promos for other shows ("you might like", “introducing”, etc.) that some podcasts insert into their feeds.

It’s a global setting called Promos & Reruns, and it can be customized per-podcast.

(tl;dr: some, but not much)

I want to take a moment to celebrate the ten year anniversary of the Under the Radar podcast and @marcoarment and @_Davidsmith’s announcement that they’re retiring the podcast. The milestone and the decision are both genuinely worth celebrating.

I’ve listened to every episode of the Under the Radar, so I want to thank Marco and David for wearing their hearts on their sleeves while delivering a disciplined podcast that frequently jumped to the top of my queue.

I’ve never been an indie software developer, but I found the podcast extremely insightful. It’s influenced how I’ve thought about my non-indie software development career, not just as someone delivering bits that indies use, but also as a product person who writes software as a means to an end.

Some of my favorite topics touched on by the show have been taking risks, being willing to pivot when those risks don’t work out, keeping many different types of users in mind, and how to market one’s work and oneself (two different things that feed into each other!).

It takes integrity to “call it” when something is reaching its end. It’s the exact kind of integrity that’s critically important to many indies, and it’s important to me, too. My thanks to Marco and David for ten years of insight and experimentation!
