A reimagination of existing 3P Mac OS icons by Jim Nielsen
Big-Surification of Mac OS icons. Justin Nielsen has a collection of some great icons and some not so great ones. #macos #mac #tech #design
Jim Nielsen writes:
And there are some VSCode alternatives that explore both 1) going beyond a logo on a white background, and 2) providing dimension while borrowing from the visual language for Apple’s native development tool (Xcode).
For example here’s Outlook:The Big Sur-ification of macOS Icons – Jim Nielsen’s Blog
Visual Studio explorations really are the best. And the Microsoft icons…

Saying the quiet part out loud and founder credits
Saying the quiet part out loud and founder credits.
Good on Zuck to say the quiet part out loud:
“Historically, investing to build these new scaled experiences in our apps has been a very good long-term investment for us and for investors who have stuck with us,” Zuckerberg said on the first quarter earnings call, drawing an analogy to the rollouts of Stories and Reels. “And the initial signs are quite positive here, too. But building the leading…

+ AI tools are constantly "6 months" from really getting awesome • Birchtree
AI use cases aren't here yet and I predict it's not even 6 months away.
#ai #llm #tech
A challenge these A.I. tools have is that we’re coming down from the novelty high we had at the launch of ChatGPT a year and a half ago and now they need to deliver on actual use cases that make people’s lives better. As someone who uses Claude almost everyday, I think there’s clearly something there, but the big promises from these companies feel like they’re constantly falling short of those…

Rabbit R1 is officially in the hands of people
Rabbit R1 hands-on experience write-ups are here. #rabbit #ai #tech
David Pierce at The Verge writes:
At this point, the best way I can describe the R1 is like a Picasso painting of a smartphone: it has most of the same parts, just laid out really differently. Instead of sitting on top or in the back, the R1’s camera sits in a cutout space on the right side of the device, where it can spin its lens to face both toward and away from you.

Moats in AI, facebook and OpenAI
Facebook's building its execution muscle for AI even if it's just slapped a text box to all their products. From a large company perspective that highlights ownership and execution.
#ai #openai #meta #facebook #tech
Justin Searls writes:
I’ve been pairing with ChatGPT (using GPT-4) every day for the last few months and it is demonstrably terrible 80% of the time, but 20% of the time it saves me an hour of headaches, so I put up with it anyway. Nevertheless, my experience with Llama 2 was so miserable, I figured Zuck’s claim about Llama 3 outperforming GPT-4 was bullshit, so I put it to the test this…

Emulators live on App Store and Alt Store AltStore available in EU for a €2/year subscription.
Delta - finally available on the app store and the alt store, AltStore is now live in EU.
I hope this shines a light at all the missed opportunities by Apple #apple #eu #regulation #tech
Jon Porter and Thomas Ricker write:
After we recently tested it in beta, the third-party iOS app store AltStore PAL is now live in the European Union thanks to Apple’s compliance with the region’s Digital Markets Act (DMA). The store requires a €1.50 (plus tax) annual subscription to cover Apple’s Core Technology Fee (CTF) for installing the app marketplace itself.

The new app marketplace is…

Huawei's HarmonyOS is now also a desktop OS and should nvidia consider purchasing intel?
Huawei's HarmonyOS is now also a desktop OS and should nvidia consider purchasing intel?

🔗 Gurman: Forget the M3, the M4 is on the way
M4 is already tracking a 2024 release according to Gurman. Seems different from the "innovating too fast" comment that recently leaked about iPhones.
And for RAM fiends out there, Gurman also reports that Apple is considering a new memory ceiling of 512GB, up from the current high-end maximum of 192GB.
Gurman: Forget the M3, the M4 is on the way – Six Colors
The speed of the jumps are exhilarating. The GPU, NPU and higher memory ceiling clearly are targeting the training of LLMs. However, I’d also be surprised if there wasn’t special…

▶️ Humane AI Pin Review • The Verge
Humane AI pin reviews are starting. I am curious if humane thinks the response delays will be beat faster than their own runway lasts.
Written words if that’s your jam, like me.
There are all the signs of a first generation product. However, I must admit that the industrial design is appealing for a gadget. The slowness is very much expected and it is fascinating to see how this breaks. For example, when David asks it to play a song:
Sometimes it works fine! Way more often, I have interactions like this one:

Higher information density - my request for iOS 18
It’s the annual mobile (and desktop) operating system refresh time with I/O and WWDC coming in May and June respectively.
Matt Birchler from Birchtree writes:
It’s not the most important thing in the world, but I’d love to see iOS 18 bring with it the ability to create a tighter grid of icons on my iPhone’s home screen.

checking 11ty
I’ve seen many blogs I really like refer to 11ty as the one static site generator to rule them all. The intro video seems like it’s dead simple and the setup feels a lot like obsidian templates and setup.
In fact, I often write a bunch of content with very similar templating in obsidian and it feels like there might be some benefits to convert the site into 11ty as a result.
So, I’ve added this…

Weekly Updates - Mar 30 • #100DaysToOffload
My brain and body are still adjusting to the changes.
After being on since 2005, it’s not found a way to adjust to this reality. The quietness of waking up to no email, chat messages and figuring out how to balance the calendar was simultaneously refreshing and confusing.
A big part of me wants to adopt this moving forward into whatever I am doing. I appreciate the morning clarity and overall…
