you would think "remember the podcast that I was listening to 20 minutes ago and keep it as the currently playing episode" would be a slam dunk feature but no.

* listens to a podcast half way through
* put phone down for 20 minutes to do some actual work for once
* HELLO WOULD YOU LIKE TO LISTEN TO THIS OLD EPISODE FROM 12 MONTHS AGO FROM A DIFFERENT SHOW THAT IS INEXPLICABLY NOW LOADED BECAUSE IT WAS THE MOST RECENT PODCAST SHOW YOU SUBSCRIBED TO YEARS AGO???

bloomberg says new macs: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-05-18/apple-readies-macbook-pro-macbook-air-revamps-with-faster-chips

14" and 16" macbook pros this summer

quote:

For the new MacBook Pros, Apple is planning two different chips, codenamed Jade C-Chop and Jade C-Die: both include eight high-performance cores and two energy-efficient cores for a total of 10, but will be offered in either 16 or 32 graphics core variations.

The high-performance cores kick in for more complex jobs, while the energy-efficient cores operate at slower speeds for more basic needs like web browsing, preserving battery life. The new chips differ from the M1’s design, which has four high-performance cores, four energy-efficient cores and eight graphics cores in the current 13-inch MacBook Pro.

The chips also include up to 64 gigabytes of memory versus a maximum of 16 on the M1. They’ll have an improved Neural Engine, which processes machine-learning tasks, and enable the addition of more Thunderbolt ports, which let users sync data and connect to external devices, than the two on the current M1 MacBook Pro.

later in the year: macbook air and 13" macbook pro with new cpu, supercharged mac mini, imac with bigger screen

next year: smaller mac pro

probably slightly bigger if they stick with the 13-inch screens though

Google tries to do this every single time they make a new chat app, but they're pathologically incapable of sticking with one project for longer than 6 months.

They could have picked any of the chat apps they've built in the last 10 years, literally doesn't matter which one, and just by focusing on that one and gradually killing the others it would have turned into Android's iMessage automatically.

it kinda makes sense why that role would exist given how folks are incentivized to churn out a new app for promos, you need something going around culling the cruft, but my pet theory is that this cadre of PM's is also selected for ambition and eventually they go gunning for things a human outside the company might use

my fav part about the podcasts app is when i discover 5 years into owning a phone that i subscribed to a few podcasts at some point somehow so its downloaded, saved and deleted tens of thousands of episodes pointlessly

every game in Roblox is still a game within Roblox. it’s the engine everything runs on and the accompanying toolset that all the games are made in. I’m willing to give them that distinction

you have to draw a line somewhere. doesn’t seem unreasonable to put in between things that are mostly data with a few simple scripts vs things that require a lot of novel and complex code. formally that’s an extremely ambiguous standard, but the law is quite capable of drawing distinctions based on human categories that you can’t really nail down formally

yeah. you can come up some obscure test case that really pushes the line, and maybe that’ll end up in court and some judge or jury will make some highly fact-dependent decision with next to zero value as precedent. but in the normal case it’s pretty easy for people to distinguish a minecraft level from nickelodeon slime blaster 3000
