Safari web apps and PWAs are a nice start, but they’re limited. Browser tabs are messy.…

David Hockney, iconic British artist known for his colorful landscapes and pool scenes, dies at 88. “His work is admired — loved is not too strong a word — by the millions who, worldwide, flock to see it because it presupposes an expectation of pleasure.”

Wild example of Fable being relentlessly proactive on Simon Willison’s blog. I remember the first time I saw AI writing a little throw-away program to analyze something. Taken too far, it almost has the feel of paperclip maximizing… Achieve the goal at all costs.

Still on the waitlist for Siri AI. With mostly just developers right now, Apple only has a tiny fraction of the users they will have later this year. Maybe they should’ve spent a little more capex on data centers after all.

With the latest Inkwell for iOS update, we’ve now finished adding back most of the features that we had to remove to get 1.0 approved by Apple. 🙄

I want to keep my podcast subscriptions in a single OPML file so I can subscribe in three different clients using the same list.

This week, we discuss Trump fucking up the World Cup, some thoughts on ICE coverage, and movies.

It's time for the World Cup. We've been previewing each of the top 15 teams by FIFA rankings that made the tournament. Why the top 15? Because that's how many we needed to do in order for the USMNT to make the cut. You can read all of our previews here.

As the largest event humanity has ever come up with, it's safe to say that the World Cup is a big deal. In some way or other the tournament connects to literally everything, from politics, to culture, to war, to art, to philosophy, to biology, to economics, and on and on. As such, it can sometimes get overlooked that, on its most fundamental level, the World Cup is just a collection of soccer games. And the simplest explanation of a game of soccer is that the team with the best players usually wins. That is why Spain is the clear favorite. At this World Cup, Spain has the best players.
