The short of it is that there’s no money in photography, compared to videography. Movies routinely have 8 or 9 digit budgets, with teams of hundreds of people who have to collaborate to make footage coming from dozens of different cameras l

This feature has been around since iOS 16 (2022) though - no relationship to Apple Intelligence (2024) or the current LLM hype (2023 onwards).

Simple question for anyone who’s familiar with this world of journalism: how does the author and the NYTimes cope with the fact that making such claims paint a huge target on the person they claim to have “unmasked”? Satoshi’s wallets are w

I’m an indie developer and I see the explosion in apps in my niche (creative tools for photography/videography). They wouldn’t have taken years to ship before, but easily a couple months. Now the moment any app with any value gets popu

Seriously. It's such a shame too because the author clearly cares about sharing their system, they went to the lengths of taking nice photos etc. - but then it's this low quality, meandering, repetitive, predictable AI writing. It

This is very neat! Some parallel thinking here, but it feels like it should be possible to build a software only version of this running entirely on a smartphone. Take a picture of the GameBoy screen, and the app reconstructs the source ima

The safety, if that’s what you wish to attain, lies in living as frugally as you can while vesting your RSUs for as long as you can bear, and GTFO of the rat race.

Oh my god, yes. Spotlight on Tahoe is a joke. Why will it so often not display any results at all, even for system apps like Safari or Terminal? You’d think those would be in an always available cache guaranteed to always show up instantly?

I do and it doesn’t? Frequent waits/stutters just cmd-tabbing from Xcode to Simulator on fairly small projects.

The specs definitely agree with you. On the other hand, Apple pushes Xcode & iPhone development quite heavily to students (and not say Python or JS), so it’s definitely something they care about.

People doing real work have money to spend and Apple wants them buying Airs/Pros. If only we could get fun colors for those…

You must not be doing much else then. My M1 8GB Air did great before Tahoe; even medium complexity Xcode projects ran fine on it with other apps running. Since I made the mistake of upgrading it to Tahoe, it’s too painful to work in those p

When Steve came back Apple was months from bankruptcy; their product lineup was full of duds. Today Apple is the most profitable company in the world, and every product line is ruthlessly optimized/scrutinized to maximize their revenue

If by basic you mean running a simple Python script then sure; but try running Xcode + iPhone simulator (a basic development workload by Apple standards) with 8GB of RAM on Tahoe, and get ready for a lot of waiting and stutter.

Users like you have money and Apple wants them buying a MacBook Air for that use case :)

A revival of the 12” MacBook would be amazing, but give it to me as a premium device - not an educational market positioning. I want a real M-series chip with RAM upgrades, an OLED display, etc.

8GB RAM was actually pretty workable for lightweight work… until they shipped Tahoe. Now macOS is just a slog doing even the most basic things unless you’re at 16GB. Sure hope macOS 27 comes with some serious performance optimization. But h

I think they’re very happy to have the 2 parallel product lines; they might overlap a bit but who cares, business is about the numbers, not ideological purity of product lines. The line they’ll probably never cross is that the Mac can run s

Better chip (A series vs M series), better screen (sRGB vs antireflective fully laminated P3), more options available (1TB, 13”), little qol things like a better WiFi chip. It’s just a nicer device for a bit more money ($349 to $599). Not e

As the article says, you just take the risk. Maybe you will bother the person. It’s okay, you’ll be able to quickly tell if you do, and you just gracefully back away and go on with your day. It’ll probably happen much less than you think.
