@sdw @halidecamera Yes

I think I’ll organize a #WWDC25 photo walk this year. Reply if you’re interested!

Not signing. Overall, it reads to me like "we shouldn't make anything whose effects we can't prophesy, so let's begin by giving the world's totalitarian governments and organised criminals a chance to catch up". Incidentally, it implicitly confuses AI with AGI.

@b3ll And the code hasn't been updated for the new refresh rate

@b3ll I think that's because it's using CADisplayLink to update the screen

Lol, the ProMotion display causes Spotify’s Now Playing screen to present in slow motion *dies*

@andy_matuschak I think maybe @mmhmmapp

Idle wondering: are there any venture-backed companies founded in the last ten years shipping a substantial native, AppKit-based macOS app?

@caseyliss I just realized after all these years. It never arrived

@caseyliss ok cool. thanks :)

@nicktoumpelis @lingmops It is

@pathik Lol

Sometimes it feels like as soon as you add an official Product/Growth Team, they start doing weird shit to justify their existence.

Why do all good things start out simple, and then complicate the fuck out of it? No one except Netflix and Amazon Prime seem to know how to create a simple bundle. One thing. One price.

@ap00rv lol

I’d love to jump onto the bandwagon, but the cost of adopting new APIs while continuing to support users on older OSes is too high. Android papered over this problem by offering support libraries for older OS versions. I’d love to see something like that from Apple. #WWDC20

@ShaanVP Modern Astrologers

finance friends - what's up with people who trade stocks based on technical charts, quoting fibonnaci patterns & saying things like "if we see support at 500, it'll go to 950" is technical chart trading: a) the sh? b) horseshit c) a useful tool if used w/ fundamental analysisis

@ap00rv @nytimes nytimes.com/2020/03/31/opi…

@ap00rv @nytimes That’s right. But also home made masks are effective. Their article suggests otherwise

Hey @nytimes Are you sure?

@pathik @ballmatthew @balajis You should read this amazon.com/Republic-Plato…

In a virtual metaverse powered by a distributed blockchain, this could be easily tried out. I believe it will become the dominant governing system and outcompete any private metaverse owned by a company. It will be an interesting world to live in. CC @ballmatthew @balajis

The problem with social platforms is that to stand out as a voice in a sea of opinions, you have to be radically on one extreme. Hence the Basecamp guys in tech, and the Trump and Modi camps in politics. Rational thought is hardly ever extreme, and not very social media friendly

@dariuszdziuk @heikowinter @mattiasjo @gerrit Great as long as you keep that animation curve on the now playing view dismissal :)

./ 2005 from @paulg ”So Dad, there's this company called Apple. They make a new kind of computer that's as well designed as a B&O stereo system, and underneath is the best Unix machine you can buy. Yes, the p/e ratio is kind of high, but I think a lot...” paulgraham.com/mac.html

@gasca It’s a different kind of shared hallucination. You get to pick the stories

I just met someone that doesn’t get Twitter: if you were to explain it in 1 sentence, what would you say?

@kaushikktiwari @elonmusk Only in Euclidean geometry :)

@elonmusk You know just choose any triangle, the angles add upto 180

@andy_matuschak @michael_nielsen I read the whole thing when it first came out. Incredible work!

Not only is there a new essay on Quantum Country, but it also showcases the new review mechanics we've been developing. What does "progress" mean when building fluency? People think of memory as discrete—they know it or they don't—but it's more continuous than that.
