This is totally crazy... Am I the only one who just discovered this?

I’ve finally decided. I will be putting these 3 units up for sale on Ebay on Friday. Interested? LMK before I make that public.

OpenAI alerts 100+ orgs that its 'misaligned models' attempted to break in - or worse

Everyone says "I am jev" no one asking "how is jev?" I genuinely feel bad for the team, they spent 2 years in stealth to build something others cloned in 2 weeks... This is why we launch quickly, folks.

Anyone here has some first-hand experience using Jev from Typesafe via the either their console or the API. It’s no longer #waitlisted.

Spending $850 vibe coding to-do list apps hoping to get rich is just one notch above spending the money on lottery tickets. While execution is now “free” due to vibe coding, it also means every software category will be hyper competitive. Your AI slop app is just more noise to users.

That interview with Adam Neumann (of WeWork fame) on the DOAC (Diary of a CEO) podcast was soooo weird. Some many contradictions, some much preaching. Was a hard watch for me. Here’s the YT link: youtu.be/IQ4JVWdj4Q0?...

SuperDuper V4 is super well done. Just bought my renewal license…and the progress bar is so beautiful. 😉 Well done. www.shirt-pocket.com/superduper4....

Meta announced that its new AI agent, Muse could call businesses for you to do things like make reservations. But in reality, Meta is testing having these calls being made by human beings in call centers, 404 Media @jasonkoebler.bsky.social learned. www.404media.co/meta-tests-m...

I think the Gates essay on AI is worth your time. I suspect/fear we will look back on this as wishful. But nonetheless, I am heartened to hear powerful voices like this, independent of how you feel about them personally, and I think it is a good sign.

To tell if a maze is solvable, just hang it by its corners If it tears into pieces, you’ve found a solution

We put a tracking device in a shipment of rare books acquired by an anonymous buyer. It ended up at an Amazon facility where the company scans books for training data and destroys them in the process: www.404media.co/we-tracked-a...

I'm still writing code the hard way. I'm slow. I like to think critically about every line of code and fiddle with variable names until everything looks right. I treat code as a liability and try to ship only what's necessary. It's hard to imagine writing code any other way.

Do I really need Apple One family? I dont think so anymore.

Im testing @oceanapp.bsky.social on an iOS 18 device and I feel the UI is *so* much better. Less glitzy, more functional.

Frankly, this is a very interesting point of view (POV). antirez.com/news/169

Well OpenAI is *not* making friends…

I don't think you need to spend a week to know this phone is dead on arrival (DOA). Not even worth reviewing except for the click bait magnet. www.theverge.com/tech/963382/...

Reddit promotions are like: “I hated how ______ did ____ so I built my own app using AI. Download it here (insert url). #tiring

I downloaded Google Earth Pro for MacOS... the current version (7.3.7.1155) was created on 3 April 2026 & is an Intel application. Apple began transitioning to "Apple Silicon" 6 years ago. They announced they are dropping support for Intel CPUs & Rosetta2 next year. GEP was abandoned _years_ ago.

I still think that McCrossan commentating the #TourDeFrance provides no added value. Nicolas Roche is superb however and always course correcting his co-host on false or wrong disclosures.

I really wish they selected another #tourDeFrance commentator than McCrossan. I feel like he just comments the obvious. IE: rider turning, riding climbing….

This cannot be *real*. Am I hallucinating?

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦

Hey! A little bit of news: Soapbox Software is no more, we're now Aniline Applications There was a pre-existing Soapbox company that we weren't originally aware of who understandably asked us to change it. But now we have a cool new ambigram logo so it's not all bad 😄

Why am I waiting so long now to get my ios update reviewed and accepted by AppReview? Because of the tsunami of vide-coded apps behind submitted. Cook said (in keynote) that AppReview receives 1,000 submissions per hour 😳
