To be fair, the core GitHub product hasn’t improved in meaningful ways in the last few years (for better and for worse).

The PR experience in particular would benefit from some TLC.

Noice!

First Look: macOS Tahoe Public Beta For many years, Apple’s annual operating-system cycle seemed to be all about the iPhone, with the occasional bone thrown to the Mac or iPad. But Apple’s latest operating-system releases…

“it feels like Apple has lost its balance in a quixotic attempt to make every app look like a photo editor”

Same.

Discombobulatingly genius.

Now I’m definitely gonna remember! 😄

Can Bluesky say every word in the dictionary?
I dunno but I plan to find out!

I made a website that tracks every single word said on bluesky (as of yesterday).

Maybe pivot to “freezing the oceans”?

I can’t write tonight. I meant that I will bring back some, not just eating them there 😅

I’ll save some for you! 😜

Death Stranding 2: “Should we have connected?”

It’s an Italian brand, I will get some when I go back, if I remember 😅

Liquid Glass is all about deferring to the content, but only on the surface. In reality you almost always get less usable content space, all while dismantling decades of industry-leading HIG (well, that has been going on for a while).

This is so much more usable than the actual thing (in its current beta state, I still have some hope for the final release) 🥲

Se solo le persone sapessero dell’esistenza di History e Bookmarks! 🥴

Loacker hazelnut wafer cookies

I approve tho, I grew up with these

Don’t worry, they are also very fatty!

Aaah yeah. It has a CLI tool now, but it’s not usable standalone, afaik: lmstudio.ai/docs/cli

Mmmh, it should fit (based on the usage reported by LM Studio, I haven’t double checked it). Have you tried with LM Studio? Certain models run better on it and viceversa.

Just my work M1 Pro MacBook Pro with 32GB of RAM (so not particularly bleeding edge). If you keep the context window small (like the default 4096 tokens in LM Studio), it uses just under 12GB of memory and runs at ~35 tok/s on the M1 Pro GPU. Pretty usable!

Tried gpt-oss-20b locally. It’s actually pretty good! Great balance of speed, capabilities, and resource usage.

This is completely vibe-based, but it seems better at complex tool use than comparably sized models, and I particularly appreciate the “Low” reasoning mode.

“We are checking…”

A pirated PS1 cd with a little disclaimer saying "Sony, we are sorry, but we are unemployed"

Back in the late 90s, pirates from Naples were printing pirated PS1 games and adding a little "disclaimer" on the CDs that said "we apologize to Sony, but we're unemployed".

The best one!

Honest answer: Almost all 2FA deployed at scale shares one of the fundamental sins of passwords: being phishable. That is, a convincing but fake website can trick someone into giving away a 2FA code.

What passkeys do is replace broken, phishable passwords with something that's always strong.

Already, the shape of the company is shifting. The firm has reduced its head count from about 45,000 people in 2023 to 40,000 through layoffs and attrition, in part to correct for an aggressive pandemic hiring spree. It has since also rolled out roughly 12,000 AI agents. “Do I think that this is existential for our profession? Yes, I do,” said Kate Smaje, a senior partner Sternfels tapped to lead the firm’s AI efforts earlier this year. But, “I think it’s an existential good for us.”

McKinsey believing from its board of directors on down that the current state of AI is existential to its business says far more about McKinsey than it does about AI lol apple.news/A8FLn2BPeRP6...

Not the first one, but if it’s on the menu, I’ll consider it!

It’s on my list!
