As I behold "Crush!", the new Apple ad for their Ipad Pro ...

... I fluctuate, with heisenbergian indeterminacy, between "they are clearly trolling us" and "they are totally earnest and have no idea how completely sociopathic they appear"

Maybe one of those "tool balancers", spring-loaded cords hanging from the ceiling, supporting most of the weight of a drill or spot welder or whatever, as used in factories. Hook one on each wrist.

I always wonder how much training WWDC presenters get, and how much electric shock is involved. The consistency is a little creepy.

Nine minutes I can't get back!

Watching a entitled white kid go around and try to get sound bites out of college protestors.

Mostly walks around wondering why nobody would talk to him as if they haven't seen what the media has done to their words already.

These slices of Wonder Bread wouldn't know militant tactics if it smashed their face in.

So much of Musk's "visionary leadership" is classic mismanagement. He's not just nuking the one area in which he Tesla can lock-in market dominance (the EV chargers), he's doing it in the most chaotic manner possible, without any plan for going forward. https://electrek.co/2024/05/03/read-the-wild-email-tesla-is-sending-to-suppliers-amid-supercharger-chaos/

I work nearly exclusively in UI atm, but… boy does Swift concurrency make me feel thick.

jonhendry,
@jonhendry@iosdev.space avatar

@RobW

Swift in general makes me feel thick because I'm always seeing constructs that don't make any sense; they generally turn out to be some more concise variant syntax for something, or else a closure, which I just haven't got the hang of recognizing yet - just “wtf is that?”

That said I haven’t really used Swift yet so…

@RobW

TBH I'm probably just as rusty at ObjC after taking care of my parents and not coding for a long time.

I probably shouldn't comment about programming at all at this point.

    The judge acknowledged in the order that $1,000 was likely insufficient but the law doesn't give him the discretion to set it higher.

    "In those circumstances, it would be preferable if the Court could impose a fine more commensurate with the wealth of the contemnor. In some cases that might be a $2,500 fine, in other cases it might be a fine of $150,000.” [But without that discretion jail may be necessary.]

    And when I don't fill out the survey I'd like to not feel guilty about it probably reflecting poorly on the employees involved, possibly reducing their pay or likelihood of continued employment.

    it's really quite a condemnation of voice-assistant UI that we have to memorize the names of all the lights and stuff

    there's no way to even ask it "what things can you turn on" or anything like that. you have to get that information from somewhere outside the UI.

    Voice assistants are like trying to play a text adventure game when you aren't familiar with the vocabulary and style of interaction of such games.

    I've been thinking about the times in my life when I felt the most alive/present/contented, and most of them have a feeling in common that I don't have a word for. It's like the opposite of the sort of numinous "I'm so small in the grand scheme of things" feeling. Like the world is not only metaphorically smaller but physically smaller. When I've felt this way in the past, I was more inclined to use terms like "nearby" or "right over there" to describe things that were quite far away...

    I get a feeling kind of like that when I'm walking around a city after a long distance flight. "I was in Boston this morning, now I'm in San Francisco.”

    If they're marked “ISO 12312-2” they should be good for as long as you have them. If not, they might not be.

    Various sources say older eclipse glasses without the ISO 12312-2 marking should not be used.

    So the way the IDF chose targets was (1) an AI spat out tens of thousands of names of potential Hamas members; (2) those people's homes were made bombing targets; (3) no one bothered to review any of it or even see if the person was home; (4) the potential for civilian casualties didn't matter.

    Underpaid artists in China and India "repainting" or "touching up” or "customizing” the images, like those mass-produced Thomas Kinkade prints that would have a few highlight dabs painted on by hand by someone.

    Then, I assume, the AI-generated part would be protected the same way a Photoshop-generated background gradient would be as part of a completed image.
