As I learn about the quantum world and mechanics, what's interesting to me is that we know so little.

Perhaps in our path to teach computers how to behave and think like us and be smarter than us to solve hard problems…

…perhaps there is a model of reality that supports what we know about physics but is beyond our understanding, and perhaps logic boards can help us understand the real reality.

It's both dark, yet interesting, and informative, and hopefully lifesaving?

AnthonyBaker,
@AnthonyBaker@mastodon.social avatar

@Luke Everything I learned about the quantum world came from Ant Man 3: Quantumania.

But that said, I think you're going to get more mileage out of the approach you're taking.

👋 For those interested, the brilliant and lovely @cameronmoll did a talk at the 2024 Front-End Design Conference. Wasn't there, but looks like it was wonderful. Here's a link to a PDF of his slides. Worth checking out. He also created a colophon, which is an idea I might steal…

And he quoted our own @scottboms!

…scanning around at mac color apps for palettes, code, etc.

Many do not support or include P3 color, nor LCH or OKLCH color.

Colorslurp at least has P3 color, and a method of adding color formats:

@Luke How does this compare to Sip? http://sipapp.io

Also, I think Sip may be part of Setapp

@chris @mako Speaking of Apple and privacy — you may have seen this from yesterday:

“Apple makes it really hard for users to completely stop it from collecting data"

> Apple's default apps are collecting user data even if users try disabling them, research from Aalto University claims, with it being an almost impossible task to properly accomplish.

AnthonyBaker,
@AnthonyBaker@mastodon.social avatar

@chris @mako Have to say, Apple's handing of default apps always annoys me. For any third-party apps, permissions need to be granted for notifications and other settings.

For their own? ON BY DEFAULT BABY!

AnthonyBaker,
@AnthonyBaker@mastodon.social avatar

@chris @mako Yeah... with them I still think about the whole "you're not the product" line they have. I do think there's some measure of truth to that versus Facebook or Google.

That said, we're affording them A LOT of trust and man, there'd be hell to pay if that got broken. My hope is that they recognize that and hold it in VERY HIGH REGARD as a business.

Fingers and toes crossed.

Having the first coffee of the day.

Picked up Blue Bottle Coffee espresso beans to give a try.

Used to live in Hayes Valley, San Francisco, years ago and they had a cafe near us that was lovely. At the time I wasn't a coffee drinker. Now I am.

@chris @mako DEFINITELY going to give this a whirl. I mean, it puts me in bed with another big co, but I'm not leaving Apple anytime soon and of every big co, they're the one I trust the most with my data.
