“Am I in trouble?” “Am I secretly bad?” These are questions Meg Josephson, a therapist and author, grew up asking herself. She was constantly trying to anticipate other people’s needs, worried that she was letting other people down. And it wasn’t until she found herself stan...

Seems like we got some breaking news out of Bloomberg’s reporting on the Apple internal meeting. Apple had tried to update Siri with both the existing commands plus LLM-based functionality as a hybrid system, but it didn’t work well. The new Siri will be unified under a single new architecture.

The new Naked Gun is hilarious. So many gags. Very much in the same spirit as the originals. 🍿

I think I'm going to put in my will that ChatGPT should run the Dave Winer persona on all social networks, and my blog, as long as the money lasts. It would tell stories that I would likely tell, take political stands that I would take, draw meta-pictures of my sad and depressed programmer friend and a cute and adorable kitty getting into all kinds of trouble. The seasons would come and go, and there would be Dave, still diggin. And of course he would continue to develop software, using some of the greatest tried and true tools, reminding everyone of how great Frontier -- but -- if only it ran on Linux. The long-lived fearless and fully paid-up version of Uncle D.

Only with Substack does anyone perceive creator branding as being subservient to the platform — something that ought to be seen merely as an interchangeable CMS.

Last week, both The Verge and Wired announced major newsletter strategies. Wired writes of a “traffic apocalypse”, where “platforms on which outlets like Wired used to connect with readers, listeners, and viewers are failing in real time”. The Verge describes “Google Zero”: the moment when the dwindling supply of visitors from Google Search completely dries up.

I got hoisted with my own Picard.

A change would do us good too.

Released a new version of the Mac app this morning, fixing several problems with the accessibility description window. I like updating the ridiculously long help page because I think the release notes show a commitment to steady improvements going back 8 years. Maybe at year 10 it’ll be really good.

Most workday afternoons, I leave my desk, set my Slack status to “away,” and take a meandering forty-minute walk around my neighborhood. This open secret between me and my coworkers—a habit I stumbled into a few years ago—has proven immensely beneficial to both my psychological and physical well-being. After a walk I think better, I feel better, and I have more energy. So I treat the brief time I dedicate to walking as sacred, blocking out the time on my calendar and ignoring or disabling notifications on my phone.

Ana Marie Cox, who knows a thing or two about indie publishing and journalism, on her AMC All the Time blog about a month ago: My take is more dire, because I’m not sure about “savvy and stamina” as the distinguishing characteristics of those who might be able to migrate...
