C++26 is done!
Yesterday I checked and Clang had still not fully implemented C++20 (or subsequent C++23). But sure, keep throwing more stuff on the pile.

I wish it was smarter about writing stripes as well. Clearly it chokes when it’s packing small files, but does pretty well with large files. Maybe create the stripes locally and copy them over in bigger chunks.

If I understand Meta’s chip strategy correctly, it’s “invest in everything all at once”. They’re buying GPUs from nᴠɪᴅɪᴀ and AMD, TPUs from Google, NV Grace and Vera CPUs along with the standard x86 vendors, whatever this thing is with Arm, several other things I forgot, and they’re making their own chips as well (they just announced an accelerated release cadence for these). Must be a lot of fun for the people maintaining their AI stack.

I wish Time Machine would tell you what files it’s synching. Because I have no idea how a machine that was powered off for months has 80gb of data to sync.

RIP Mac Pro. It was a monument to Apple marketing missing the mark on what customers wanted for decades (despite the engineers telling them repeatedly)

There should be some kind of hall of shame for these.

Sony-Honda #Afeela project killed. Honestly at this point it’s the least-disastrous thing they could do.

Messaging on all of my devices was having issues. Seems to have corrected itself, presumably due to backend fixes. Troublingly, my iPad, which was logged out of iMessage, is now logged in without me having done anything. That a device can be told that it’s logged in without a human entering a password is concerning.

iMessage no longer works on my iPad after upgrading to iPadOS 26.4. Cannot log in, even after reboot. Another quality release.
