And with that said, Tot Pocket is killing it in the App Store charts.

Tot Pocket is on sale at 50% off. If you have no idea how big a deal that is: https://tot.rocks
But it's also situations like this where we have to explain the name to 83% of the people in Germany.

I’m surprised this wasn’t mentioned in the keynote or State of the Union, but Apple’s model training data is either licensed or publicly available on the Internet. No personal information is used.
You can opt out of the web based training here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/119829 (no idea if it’s retroactive - probably not).
Again, this should have been mentioned in the presentations because it’s a good approach and directly relevant for developers.

I want AI to help me figure things out. Not make things up for me.
Apple is clearly looking at the figuring out part - a lot of useful features were presented (albeit with a lot of future tense in the statements). A big plus that it's being done in a private context.
But it's the made up art where everyone (rightly) focuses their attention. Given the huge number of creative people using Apple products, taking away our collective imagination feels like a huge misstep.

Today was a big day in the life of Tapestry.
We read data off the Internet with JavaScript, built a Swift object graph, synced all objects over iCloud, created a beautiful timeline in SwiftUI, and displayed data from RSS/Atom/JSON feeds, GoComics, USGS/NOAA, and YouTube.
Still a lot of work to do before a beta release, but we’re at that tipping point where we can really start to kick ass.
Good work @gedeonm @talosman @piraino @bigzaphod !

@Gargron It looks like you got a shot of milkweed at the base of the tree. It’s a very important part of the ecosystem that supports the Monarch butterfly. A lot of folks in California are growing it gardens as a conservation effort. We currently have 3 pupae in our front yard (we’ll have several dozens by the end of summer).

I’m calling it now: the slop feedback loop is going to ruin the Internet.
Look at the second toot in this thread: Google’s AI Assistant got the gasoline recipe from AI generated content.
We’re playing the shittiest game of telephone ever.

So what’s to prevent the current president from ordering a hit on a few Supreme Court justices and several prominent members of the GOP if he has immunity?
It would lead to chaos, but it would be _legal_.
And therein lies the problem.

Seeing “browser blocked” at CNN because your ad blocker can't do all the privacy preferences bullshit?
Replace the “www" in the URL with “lite" and you get a page that doesn't need any privacy preferences bullshit.

As promised, today we're giving you a look behind the scenes with Project Tapestry.
We’ve seen folks thinking that we're making an RSS reader – because that's all they can imagine. And that's natural – there has never been something like this before.
The personal web is now programmable.

I can't wait to explain how we're doing Project Tapestry. It's simple, powerful, and most importantly, extensible. If anything, we're underselling the capabilities in the video and pitch.
It still kinda blows my mind that we were able to pull it off. I haven't been this excited about the future possibilities of a project since the day we launched Twitterrific in 2007.

This product image on Amazon has the mystery of a Renaissance painting.

If you write code for any Apple platform and don't know about this website, I'm about to make your life easier:
That is unless, of course, your code is error-free 😉

macOS Sonoma 14.1 - followed a week later by 14.1.1 because of a bug in the WindowServer that flipped the Y coordinate of click events.
macOS likema 14.2 - followed a week later by 14.2.1 because of a bug in the WindowServer and how it tracks sessions.
Guess who found both bugs and had to deal with the fallout? Me.
Both of these bugs are in parts of the WindowServer that have been stable for a long time (in first case, decades!)
No one like emergency point releases, so what's wrong?

Do you hate how hard it is to get to System Information now? (System Settings… > General > About > System Report…)
Just hold down the Option key in the Apple menu…
