@mgsiegler.com I don't think I've read anything in your WWDC writings about iPhone developers being able to access the on-device LLM model. It seems pretty huge and will enable all sorts of new app features.

Do you have a take? Is Siri the only AI win that matters?

Here you go: an absolute beast of a starter pack, with many of the UK's most prominent humanists on it. Includes scientists, historians, philosophers, public figures, the New Humanist editorial team and Humanists UK staff. A network for reason and decency.

@mgsiegler.com I'm beyond fascinated by the idea of a screenless AI device.

It feels to me that the use case pattern of "summarise options 1,2,3 and let me pick" is so fundamental to such a broad range of interactions that it just *has* to have a screen! Very excited to see how I'm wrong 🤣

@sindresorhus.bsky.social I saw this feature request for Pure Paste on Threads:

"If I am cutting and pasting within the same app/document, then I probably want to keep the formatting. If I am pasting from outside the app/document then I do not."

I guess this is hard to do, though :)

@flexibits.com Today I deleted Fantastical from my iPhone. I'd like to write you a quick postmortem.

I've raised a few requests over the years for the option to disable all the smart parsing of event details, and I won't be using FCal again until this is present.

Oh, fear is old
Please don't yell at the train, just get aboard
Oh, we go forth
Those who stay behind will be left on the shore
Who could afford not to be a part of what we're pushing toward?

@support.bsky.team @bsky.app Is there a way I can avoid seeing the same post multiple times when it's reposted by several people?

@bsky.app @support.bsky.team Seems a bit hard to load a starter pack into a List... am I missing something?
November 17, 2024 at 9:17 AM
So can I 'follow' a 'list' or is 'add all' the only action?
