I want an AI to do the boring bits. To type faster for me. To โrubber duckโ brainstorm problems with. To automate my weekly dull tasks. To double check my work. To help me write good unit tests. To my async and edge case code more robust. More Iron Man suit and less Terminator.
I LOVE that there's a WhatsApp and Signal Desktop app and I use them ALL DAY. I HATE that I have to run https://airmessage.org/ as a PWA to simulate having an iMessage app. It's time for Apple to open iMessage up.
Why donโt 10 or 20 moderate Republicans just team up and actually pass nice normal legislation with the rest of the Democrats. They would be heroes, and actually get work done. This is such a huge opportunity and they are completely fumbling the bag.
A reminder, if you own your own domain you can quickly setup webfinger like this https://www.hanselman.com/.well-known/webfinger (can just be a static file, or dynamic) so that if someone searches mastodon (use me as an example) for @shanselman then it will call out to my domain, find me, and tell you my aliases, which is my account at hachyderm.io. Cool eh? Should take you just a few min to implement!
I am SHOCKED that QR Codes actually happened. I would have *never* bet on this ridiculous tech, but as soon as all phones built it into the camera app, then restaurants decided that a QR code pointing to a freaking PDF in Dropbox was a valid menu, it was over. The avalanche had begun, and it was too late for the pebbles to vote.
