Trying to practice my Spanish, I repeat phrases like “con leche de almendra” in my head as I walk to the coffee shop… But then they speak in English anyway. One of these days I will learn the language for real. Need to ramp up my Duolingo time.
Catching up on this news from Mark Gurman about the upcoming Siri redesign, with a dedicated app and more conversational interface:
The app’s main interface will display prior conversations in either a list or a grid of rounded rectangles with text previews. Users can pin favorite chats, save older conversations, search across interactions and start new chats via a prominent plus button.
This all sounds pretty reasonable.

I'd like an AI bot that could do this. I open my browser to a page on netflix.com. It scans the page, figures out what movies are there, then it searches metacritic for each and presents me a list of all shows with a rating above a certain score. I ...

Community Antibodies
First, I want to say how great the jazz scene is in New York. I caught a little Latin at my go-to Guantamera last night, but the band seemed to be phoning it in a bit, so I walked over to Dizzy’s and heard an amazing big band performance by the Diva all-women Jass Orchestra, … Continue reading Community Antibodies →

The 2019 Intel Mac Pro’s Unfortunate Timing
512pixels.net/2026/03/how-apple-could-have-saved-the-mac-pro/
Stephen Hackett, at 512 Pixels:
I’ve thought a lot about the bad timing Jones mentions. Had Apple
stuck to the original timeline, and killed off the 2013 Mac Pro in
favor of an iMac “specifically targeted at large segments of the
pro market,” back in 2017, Apple could ha...

Apple Should Set and Enforce Some Basic Standards for Custom Video Players on tvOS
daringfireball.net/2024/03/quickly_toggling_closed_captions_on_apple_tv
While I’m bitching about Netflix’s craptacular new video player on Apple TV, let me quote from a piece I wrote two years ago (also complaining about Netflix’s tvOS app):
Turns out there are two better ways:

‘How Apple Became Apple: The Definitive Oral History of the Company’s Earliest Days’
This feature from Harry McCracken is just spectacularly good. (And it’s a gift link that’ll get you past Fast Company’s paywall.) 50 years is a long time and there are some key players in Apple’s origin story who are gone — but because everyone was so young at the time, it’s...

New York Post: ‘Trump Considers Renaming Strait of Hormuz’
The New York Post (I’m not sure if I should tell you to take this with a grain of salt, because it’s the Post and their journalistic standards are low, or, to assign this extra credibility because it’s the Post, a right-wing Murdoch rag that Trump lackeys actually talk to):

I'd like an AI bot that could do this. I open my browser to a page on netflix.com. It scans the page, figures out what movies are there, then it searches metacritic for each and presents me a list of all shows with a rating above a certain score. I know the streamers don't want us to have this info (I don't really understand why) but I really want it. BTW, they say the Green Knight is fantastic. Got the tip from a NYT email, but even they didn't say what the rating was, or even what their own reviewer said. Had to do this thing manually. Do they have any user-oriented creative people in the mix anywhere in this system??
