I’m still looking into new use cases for using Micro.blog’s new blog limits1. Porting a portion of my meta blog is one such use case, but porting this portion would be really difficult. I might go ahead with a dual publication: I keep the Craft version because it is richer and faster to publish but also publish on Micro.blog because of RSS support and better integration with my Micro.blog digital community.

I’m currently using one blog, this one, and one one-page site. ↩︎

Yesterday I did a 20-min presentation on how to take advantage of ChatGPT and GenAI tools at work, for my colleagues. Many of them didn’t learn anything because they already experimented with these tools. For others, they learned quite a bit and I saw their enchantment in their eyes. This reminds of 1993 when I gave a similar presentation about tools like Netscape, Newsgroups, Gopher, and Mail and how to use http requests. Today, we need to learn how to create effective “prompts”.

Billionaire Elon Musk — whose businesses range from satellites to social media — was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize by a Norwegian lawmaker who praised the X owner as a “stout proponent for free speech.”
You must be kidding me! While at it, why not nominate Putin for his fight against nazis in Ukraine. Beyond ridiculous.

Apple Journals is iPhone only. Apple Sports is iPhone only1. Apple Classical is iPhone only. Did Apple forget about the iPad? What should we conclude from this? Will it take years to come to the iPad, just like the Health app? Isn’t that easy to make an iPad version of an app?

It’s a new app that is launching today. A surprise. ↩︎

Apple Vision Pro Returns https://initialcharge.net/2024/02/gurman-vision-pro-returns/
I wonder, sometimes, about the Apple Vision Pro ending up in the drawer, just like pre-iPod era MP3 players. Time will tell.

This looks like a wonderfully designed desk shelf, but I’m not sure I want to jack up my Apple Studio Display. And what if I upgrade my Mac mini to a Mac Studio? It won’t fit.

I wasn’t invited to share my thoughts on this year’s SixColors Apple performance performance report, So I’m writing my own performance report. 😛

Digital relationships are powerful but don’t take my word for it. Try for yourself. Next time you stumble on a personal site you find interesting, try to connect with the person behind that site. Write an email, say hi, send them some love. You won’t regret it.
Somehow, I found this blog post very touching. I’m still searching for the exact reason, but until I do, I will contact this guy. I don’t know yet what I’m going to say.

If Ukraine loses the war against Putin’s regime in Moscow, it’s not Ukraine who loses, but the West. Fighting back after an eventual lost war will cost everyone’s ten if not hundred times more. When are we going to get this? Pressure your governments to do more, not less.

I wrote a little article1 explaining how I’m using Ghost’s API to “browse” published articles so that I can select an article that I want to update.

It’s the perfect coffee shop kit for me. At first, I didn’t think of going out today, but I realized that I spend all weekdays at home for work. I guess it was time to see the world and enjoy a creative session at the coffee shop while listening to music. Slow vibes1.

I love the design process but never reach a point where I’m happy. I continually change themes, plug-ins, and services.
Happy to learn that we have something in common. 🙂

The report claims that Apple is training both Siri and the iPhone’s built-in Spotlight search tool on large language models, with a goal of improving each feature’s ability to answer more complex questions accurately. The revamped version of Spotlight could also offer deeper integration with “specific” functions and features in apps.
Why am I thinking about the coming of Siri+ when I read this report?

Ultimately, he said he’s not going to get one (price), but that it really was a revelatory experience and was unlike anything he’d seen before.
Someone who finished a demo of the Apple Vision Pro. Is this exactly what many people said when they first tried the Macintosh back in 1984? The rest is history.

A18 series chips are expected to debut in iPhone 16 models in September. It was previously rumored that some generative AI features could be exclusive to iPhone 16 models, and the upgraded Neural Engine could be a reason why.
My wish is that the pre-iPhone 16 devices can get a reasonably useful generative AI experience under the updated Siri. 🙏🏻
