Helped lead the engineering efforts on this and worked with some really amazing people to bring this together.
Super proud of the work my teammates did on this one!!

I have this amazing bug on my iPad Pro (5th gen) running 26.4.2 where when I try to update it, it asks for the device password but no keyboard pops up (yet all other textfields work fine!)
No amount of restarts or rotations is fixing it, the keyboard just renders as a broken ~44pts high rounded toolbar at the bottom of the screen 😆
Finder update via IPSW it is!
The hilarious part about people writing "skills" or prompts is that no matter how much they write… they're still interfacing with nondeterministic models
"You **must never** `rm -rf /folder` ever!"
1. There's no guarantee this won't happen (only a decreased likelihood)
2. This has now added something it shouldn't do as part of its context… potentially increasing the likelihood of it happening
This is fine
The feeling of starting to read an article and then seeing:
"This wasn't just X. It was Y"
sigh.
Me: "Add searchable here to filter the list"
SOTA LLM:
*does not add .searchable*
```
struct SearchRequestTarget {
let searchQuery: String
}
/* some other garbage */
```
Clown code strikes again
Words cannot describe how sad the Destiny 2 situation is making me feel.
So many incredibly talented folks being thrown out for no reason other than poor management and bad decisions.
I really, truly, will miss this game and miss being able to experience the wonder and beauty so many people poured their heart and souls into.
Apple: We made an iPhone chip run macOS
Some random developer: I made a Wii run macOS

Me: *joins a new Slack channel*
Slack: "Get the AI Scoop on this channel!!"
Me: How about, no?
Excited for this year's WWDC
They'll probably announce aiOS and then the stock will go up 600%
Me: "If I do X, will Y happen?"
Coding Agent: "yep totally, do it"
Narrator: "Y did not happen"
The web is remarkable nowadays
OH “I'm not just correct. I'm absolutely right.”

I think this is like the Liquid Glass slider where you move it all the way to the left
Siri, I do not have a truck, nor do I have even have a camera outside that would indicate any kind of car lol
Since SPM Traits has seemingly a union of all other traits enabled across the build graph, this leads to the wonderful feature where a project in an Xcode workspace that enables a trait *also* enables it on any other project in the workspace (regardless if a dependency or not)

I really want my preprocessor macros / defines back

@_inside@mastodon.social @blacktop@mastodon.social guess you gotta overflow that string to InUSACA

@robmathers thanks!
On the go it isn't an issue since the iPhone will just fallback to cellular, but at home it can be a bit annjoying to juggle the network switching
@schwa@mastodon.social it really is something to think about

@me1000 oh for sure, I'm just saying there's plenty of "experts" that don't understand that fundamental
