Yeah I don’t think it’s really taken off. The iOS apps that I would actually like to use on my M1 Mac have just opted out - not sure why. For MS I think this could be a modest low risk win, even if it doesn’t massively take off. It gets the

A lot of web apps are not as good as their native counterparts. And maybe MS is planning an act 2 with foldable phone/tablet hybrids, after the failed Windows Phone. There’s been a few attempts at containerised android apps on Linux to

Would love to see this in ProCreate or another native iPad app

Protégés - absolutely! I think they all saw it that way too. Miles was the teacher Timeline on those albums - I think it happened the other way around actually - In A Silent Way was Miles’ first foray into electric jazz in 1969 - Bitches Br

I’ve tested a bunch of the spatial audio tracks on Apple Music with multiple high end headphones - you can make it work with any headphone if you set Atmos to “always on” in Apple Music. They sounded alright but I think you’ll need a real D

Apple AirPods pro/max headtracking is 3dof not 6dof - it tracks rotation but not location. It would be fun to be able to walk around a virtual space to get closer to different sound sources/instruments but that’s not what’s on off

I wonder if CureVac can come back from this, or are they toast?

I don’t know if you can call those guys imitators - Herbie, McLaughlin and Zawinul all played on Bitches Brew. It was a seminal “fusion” record for sure and the school of Miles without a doubt left a lasting impression on all of them, but a

wouldn't that require pretty hefty active cooling, which doesn't fit so well with Apple devices? It would be great if they did it the eGPU route with TB4, in a slick package

Why do you prefer USDC to GUSD? They both seem to be 1:1 backed centralised stablecoins, just the Winklebros version hasn’t taken off the same way

Neem oil mixed with warm water and sprayed on the plants works pretty well. Ladybirds (you can buy larvae which you can release in about 10 days) also works for aphids, they gobble them up.

I concur with the people who have mentioned robovac, instant pot, sony xm3/xm4, ooni pizza oven, MacBook m1 - all making my life better. Other things - door frame pull up bar, resistance band. Cheap, get a lot of use, don't take m

Does this mean you can mix the two vaccines - ie. take two shots of moderna, and a later in the year a booster shot of (updated) Pfizer/BnT? So far I haven’t seen conclusive information about mixing the vaccines, but I think that will

Check out Aave or Compound. You basically use your crypto as collateral, and do whatever you want with the borrowed money. If you want to take the borrowed money and get even more (leveraged) exposure to crypto, you can. You don’t pay back

Yep this is the other use case for crypto lending

I think the primary reason interest rates are high in crypto lending right now (also on USD stablecoins) is leveraged speculation - people using crypto as collateral to leverage their crypto positions higher (and/or yield farm) and are

Yep. This happens to many businesses as they grow and get older - the people change, early innovators leave and decision making starts becoming dominated by milking the cash cows. The company becomes too large and too risk averse to be able

You’re right, the personal tokens like one the from Alex are simply an IOU based on trust and reputation. Reputation systems are really interesting and can work for some things, but I’m not sure you could sell the equivalents of Bowie bonds

It’s hard to say if personal tokens will take off or not, but I’m almost certain many more things will be turned into financial instruments in the future. Almost anything that can have provable (current term is “on-chain”) revenue (future o

I’m with you. I use Figma for all UI/UX work, Resolve for editing/grading but still reach for AE for motion graphics and some video things. Even though After Effects is super slow and doesn’t seem to get much faster with newer CPU

Thanks for the write-up! This is great, good to hear war stories. I've sent it to the devs - if they have any questions about the above, would it be possible to reach out for quick thoughts?

Audacity uses wxWidgets right now. We've been talking about migration to Qt 6 (and possibly QML for some things) but that would be a big re-platforming effort, still debating. Not sure if we can continue with wxWidgets and do a major U
