There’s a “cats on glass tables” instagram account that I would follow if it wasn’t on instagram. This would kill there.
This is like when Roku remotes had the Blockbuster button on them.
After is discovery in 2023, Reddit readers have just picked up on the depiction of a character resembling Marge Simpson on the inner lid of a 3,500-year-old Egyptian sarcophagus.

Too bad; you’ll be a soulless React dev and you will like it!
Literally just finished eating White People Tacos... so good. The cat is the only creature there with any taste.
It’s pretty rich that one of his stans is harping about how the Left “steals elections”, yet his guy literally tried that in the last election cycle. Then there’s also Bush v Gore. But yeah, it’s those crafty lefties doing the stealing!
I’m with you, for the most part. There are a couple vitals I would like to track for my own reasons, but yeah same otherwise. There are a few handy tools but none I can’t live without.
You can get the Apple Watch with cellular to receive calls, but I think it will only be a companion to your main phone.
Right, but if you want it to track your sleeping….

The current watch’s battery life makes it a non-starter for me. Sleep and health trackers would be nice, and might convince me to make the leap. But no way to do that without charging the current ones twice a day, which is ridiculous. In a perfect world it would go for a whole week before charging.
I wish all (or even most) Christians were like you. We’d all get along better in the world. I can’t reconcile the state of the world with an all-powerful deity, but we are each free to see the world as we choose.
And nowadays, over-religious Karens (and political despots and greedy evangelicals) use Jesus to oppress and exploit others. If this Jesus had the power the fables claim, he would put an end to all of that shit, stat. Looks around and gestures
Ok but they and their ilk actively vote against education funding and programs to help them out of their situation.
I actually designed and produced an Initech mug from cafepress and used it in the office. People thought it was funny but I was dead serious.

I wish you were right. I live in Trumpistan and this will only make people like him more. The only way we can stop this madness is actually have him in an actual jail. Even then I’m not so sure.
Anybody else notice this? When I load a post or its picture, there’s no indication that the post has been read. For the record, I view in compact mode.
Siri was introduced and integrated into iOS and macOS over ten years ago. In that time, little has changed about it. There are articles from 2016 complaining about how far it was behind Google and Cortana (RIP).
In the meantime, LLMs have changed the game when it comes to language understanding, context, and ability to execute based on natural language instruction. All the tools are here: Speech-to-text through libraries like Whisper, and of course the LLMs themselves which interpret language and context to a revolutionary degree. Text-to-speech is already solved.
So, ignoring the "AI hype" and seeing what these tools actually are and can do, it naturally fits that a better personal assistant could be created by combining these pieces and leveraging the existing iOS and macOS APIs to improve Siri's functionality by an order of magnitude, or more.
Apple remains the only big tech company not publicly diving head-first into the LLM race, but it's relatively well-known that they're developing one internally. As that was reported last July right around WWDC 2023, it was obviously not ready for an announcement. Besides, that one was all about Vision Pro anyway.
So, that point, coupled with the fact that Apple tends to be last on the trend train but offer a more polished experience, would make WWDC 2024 the perfect time to reveal an "all new" or revamped Siri which could run locally on, say, newer iOS devices or Macs with Apple Silicon. I use SuperWhisper on my M2 MacBook Air and it works amazingly well. It would also be a good carrot to get people to upgrade their phones, iPads, and Macs. Besides, what else would be important at WWDC next year? I don't see much else on the horizon, other than the real launch of Vision Pro.
Anyhoo, my random unsubstantiated thoughts. Talk among yourselves.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.... in Messages on iOS 16 and before, couldn't you swipe right anywhere on the left side of the screen to get back to the main list? In iOS 17, I have to reach all the way to the top-left arrow to go back, a more daunting task on my new larger screen. Absolute torture! Or, am I missing something?
Love Memmy, use it every day. I know the devs had to take some much-needed time off and I respect that 100%. That said, I keep selfishly wanting my favorite app to get better and am wondering if effort will resume soon? Or is the rewrite happening under the covers and we just don’t see the activity? Anyway thanks, just checking in on you guys.
