I have been using an iPhone 14 Pro. It's thick, I think I got used to it? Recently someone handed me an old Samsung Galaxy S7 to use for testing. It was a revelation: I wanted and dearly missed having a phone that thin. I really hope s

As long as you _know the right answer_, ChatGPT is a very useful tool 90% of the time I know the code I want to write. ChatGPT just writes it for me, when I read it I can confirm it is what I would have written, or fix it if not (or more li

Hey me too. I love Apple Arcade and when my kids want a game, my first question is, “did you look on arcade?” However, my belief is the entire App Store should be subject to the same rules as Apple Arcade. It would be a far healthier app

I don’t think it’s special for Spotify. It comes under the “Reader” apps clause (originally carved out for Kindle?) where apps which sell: music, movies, books, email can require that a user create an account on the web first (but cannot li

Yeah I was just trying to make a cynical point that when they allow you to filter by no-in-app-purchases, they charge you for the privilege

Hah! Actually, they have kind of done this with Apple Arcade, and charge you a $10 subscription for the service

Just a note that for my business (and many others) Apple takes a 15% cut Apple will lower their cut to 15% if you earn less than $1 million USD/year across your app businesses, or if you sell subscriptions and your subscribers persist

I don't think you can sign up for Spotify using in-app-purchase. Once you're in the app it says: "You can't upgrade to premium in the app. We know, it's not ideal" You have to go to their site to upgrade your a

Fair point. Though in my case it is also a business venture, but with very modest goals and building it consistently because I want it to exist I guess my point is I just hope the author wasn't too quick to write off their attempt as a

It really depends on your definition of "winning." My partner and I decided to make a small game together back in 2020, release it, and maintain it. "Winning" for me meant that it should earn $500 per year and have regul

Interesting, my kids all have 20+ large iMessage groups for their friends at school. They play Minecraft and Among Us while on FaceTime calls. They are in the 8 - 11 year range. So it is certainly down to demographics, but perhaps not age

It's not a brain. It's more like a very esoteric zip file which can extract a "lossy" version of the copyright material it was trained on, and reproduce that in an uncountable number of combinations that are meaningful t

This is a really interesting exploration. The M3 Pro was a little confusing at first, having fewer performance cores than its predecessors, and more, but even slower clocked efficiency cores. But the power consumption graph clearly shows th

I use ChatGPT daily and have been coding for over two decades. I get it to write all the tedious stuff, and it basically writes all my internal tools, scripts and so on. The last big things it wrote for me were: A macOS SwiftUI app to go th

You’re totally right that there is now more complexity, especially around tooling and deployment. We have pipelines now, Docker containers, things that just aren’t simple and direct like a plain HTML+CSS website However in my experience the

I certainly wouldn’t call Apple a hardware company. Their software is as much a part of the story of their products as their hardware, if not more so in many areas.

It’s interesting that you make this point. Because Meta’s video is _all about_ the hardware: here’s new lens design, here’s high density screen. Apple’s Vision Pro release has been all about the software: the interaction models, how to use
