I’m kinda surprised that my social feeds here aren’t discussing Typesafe/Jev AI.
I’m very curious what others think.
It seems less ethically dubious and much more efficient, bridging AI recognition and deterministic output.
I’m surprised coders aren’t excited about this.
Am I missing something?
@anilineapps I just noticed that the Indigo MacOS app has a timeline search (top right!) – does this exist in the iOS app? I can’t find it.
Oh. I always wondered how this happened. Didn’t realise it was so simple!
I have a saying: “Maturity is more about knowing _when_ to be grown up than _how_ to be grown up.
The when/how thing is important and applies to other areas of life and work too.
Excellent AI commentary: “China probably has a vested interest in everyone on earth not dying”
😂
That wasn’t as coherent as I wanted it to be. It’s too late. Good night!
I’ve been thinking about how I have a preference for small things.
And I think about AI. A lot!
And I have been thinking about tech bros and how they respond – on X – to criticism that they get on other platforms.
And now I’m reading Brené Brown on “scarcity”.
1/3
And that’s it isn’t it? The tech bros want to feel that they have MORE. And everyone is trying to get MORE to keep up.
The toxic positivity is so that people can get more without needing to think about the consequences.
2/3
Refusing to use a thing is LESS. It’s saying “I don’t need more”. It’s saying that something else is more important than having more.
And the bros? They “ignore the haters”. Because that’s what allows them to have more. Having more is the only way. And they have more than you!
Or something.
3/3
The theory that AI companies are wanting third parties to enforce a slow down on them because they can’t maintain the pace anyway and don’t want to look like it’s their fault is excellent.
Someone told me about one of the best features of iOS 27 and so I must pass it on.
The wallet app lets you create custom passes. You can scan and store all your loyalty cards!!
(Android users, if you’ve had this for years, I’m happy for you. You don’t need to brag!)

Are great. But trust is such a huge issue. How do I know that these aren’t vibe-coded keyloggers or file slurpers or ransomware-injectors. It could be anything dressed up as a nice utility. I don’t know what anything is any more! 😵💫
Oh wow. The bad customer service folks just keep doubling down.
I can’t believe they’ll see this but my name is uncommon – you never know.
Tips:
– Own up. Admit something went wrong!
– Say sorry. It costs nothing.
– Take responsibility. You can’t fix it. But can you learn and improve? Tell me how!
Reminded of this 18-year-old, cheap, simple, but very effective 3D head-tracking concept.
I don’t know why something like this didn’t get built into modern game consoles somehow.
Follow-up question: If our eyes were top and bottom instead of left and right, would we still see in depth the same way?
Bonus question: Are there any animals with top and bottom eyes?
A weird thought/question I had while watching someone film an event today in vertical video format:
Do we “see” in portrait or landscape? Does the fact that our eyes are left and right rather than top and bottom mean we get a wide-but-shallow field of view?
Today was the funeral of a local legend, taken from us early and unfairly.
I was blessed to hang out with him a lot for a few years.
Never seen the crematorium so full. Standing room only.
No amount of healthy stuff can defend you from some things.
I’m inspired to try to live my best life now.
Just… too much tech news today.
– Panic do an awesome Playdate update
– Some company named after a fruit folded. Or something
– Nintendo emailed be about 55 new games coming up
– Tailwind bought by Shopify
– Digital Ocean sponsor the bad guy’s thing
– Some other tech dude in trouble
Crazy!
I really don’t get why I would pay extra for a foldable phone. A tech that I just have Zero interest in. Ideally I’d have a smaller, dumber phone, and revert to a laptop for any real activity.
Perhaps I’m just old.
Anyway. Tonight I went to a badminton club! This is much more my thing than Taekwondo that I tried over the summer.
We did a family “practice” yesterday to see if I was still any good.
Turns out I still got something here!! Not a lot. But something!!
Someone asked when I last played competitively, and I reckon it was when I was Vanbrugh College Badminton Captain in… 1998!
(“I was just starting primary school then!” came the reply. 😂)
