Starting something new. After nearly 13 years @ Apple, I'm moving on to build something of my own. Working on one main product idea, plus a couple side projects. I'll also be doing some contracting work along the way when the fit is right. Looking forward to the challenge and exploring where this goes.

There's finally a plan to complete the train to Longmont, only two decades after taxpayers started funding it. (Giving us a chance to update our highly-sophisticated tracker)

Beyond getting strings correct in localizing, the most difficult part is (was) collecting screenshots. Continued fun adding bits and bobs to my testing skill. github.com/ioloro/iOS-Tes… Also added some nifty instruments tricks I've found to make apps faster/more responsive.

@joshdholtz @DeepDishSwift Will there be another hit song in the breaks as well? TBH, I loved it.

🍕 We are doing it again! 📺 @DeepDishSwift 2026 is being streamed next week Free to watch on YouTube! But also there is also... 1️⃣ Pay-what-you-want ticket and Discord access 2️⃣ $50 indie app slot (rotated through all the breaks)

Not perfect by any means but got iCloud syncing of jobs (Potter tasks), machine state, and moving tasks around to load balance between multiple computers.

@_nghiatran Feels odd they're (payment provider) allowing spamming even with the same customer identity.

Please no 🥶

Rockies being very Rockies thus far this year. ⚾️

Those #WWDC emails are coming out. In my case it was a “we regret” result. Bummer. I’ll be there in person regardless. Excited to see folks and attend lots of events.

@jazzychad I don't play it frequently, but enjoy it.

Anyone here play backgammon? I know there are a lot of apps for it already, but I can’t stand any of them.. I’m writing my own with no ads and no subscriptions and no microtransactions.. mostly to play with my family.. but I hope others will like it as well

After launching @DewyGolf I think I'll open up a "Glitch Gallery" where I can showcase all my error art.

@DewyGolf Even more wild when looking at a course I think is aggressively varied.

Direction of slope is key when you're considering hits, but also frost/dew/moisture impact. Been playing with combining a couple of variables to make heat maps of slope intensity and direction to better power maps in @DewyGolf

one day we'll tell the new generation how we suffered 😂

Met with a remote sensing engineer this week that maps wildfires and fire risk. Got some great tips how to augment my CV pipeline with standard RGB, but then also add NDVI and other band data that might help.

@jazzychad @DeepDishSwift Quick stop west 😉

@ioloro @DeepDishSwift i'm coming from ATL 💀💀💀

Am I gonna have to drive to Chicago for @DeepDishSwift 😬

Want to hear the fans on a MBP? Kick off two CV training pipelines at once. Dropped 80% battery in 45 minutes.

I’ve been to said tiki bar and cannot wait for Deep Dish in a little over 2 weeks.

LEGO-SLAM: Language-Embedded Gaussian Optimization SLAM github.com/Lab-of-AI-and-… LEGO-SLAM running at 15 FPS on a ScanNet scene with language-based loop closing for drift correction. LEGO-SLAM is a 3DGS-based SLAM framework that supports open-vocabulary semantic querying and rendering. It tracks via G-ICP and efficiently builds a map by embedding Gaussians with scene-adaptive 16D language features. Map management is achieved through Language Pruning and Language-Based Loop Detection. The generated map enables open-vocabulary 3D Object Localization.

@mufasaYC Come on down, plenty of fun to be had.

@ioloro I’ve always wanted to come to Boulder, see you in June!

I’m yet to meet someone who throws away their Apple boxes

@mufasaYC Feel free to search.

@ioloro please don’t lie John
