Really starting to worry that what I hoped would be a three-season @atp.fm arc of @siracusa.social gradually realizing that his "tide-me-over" Mac is his actual Mac might get condensed into a Slow Horses-style six-episodes-in-one-night binge.

disney.fandom.comBitA Bit is a binary digit from the Tron franchise that is represented by a white polyhedral shape, which is a compound of dodecahedron and icosahedron. It was only capable of providing yes or no answers to any question. Despite this, it still managed to convey emotion and other levels of complexity.

As @kevlin.bsky.social said, “The act of describing a program in unambiguous detail and the act of programming are one and the same.” “Unambiguous detail” is the difference between creating and commissioning a blurry copy.

If my Drinking Buddy post left you with questions about vibe-coding, App Store rejections, the role of Shortcuts in an AI-future, and what exactly is possible today using various AI app-creation tools, I highly recommend the latest episode of @appstories.macstories.net.
