Thank you to my new followers! And hello!

This account is small and new, but I’m so damn excited for what I’m building.

Can’t wait to bring it to you soon.

In the meantime, drop a message below and tell me what you’re up to!

⚡️ #BuildInPublic #localAI

Also if anyone from Apple happens to read this, can you pretty please approve MuraTalk in the App Store?

The wait is killing me 😅

@verge Impressive stuff.

Seems like a meaningful move toward on-device AI.

The Apple Foundation Model could do with some enhancements while we’re at it.

[JRB AI @JRB_AI]

Can’t be long until the refreshed touchscreen MacBook Pro now…

[JRB AI @JRB_AI]

Apple is really leaning into local AI capability.

Strong emphasis on the MacBook Pro, and also on the new iMac.

Available 6 November.

[JRB AI @JRB_AI]

@gregjoz This is exciting.

Is this the first meaningful step in bringing local AI to a mass market segment?

[JRB AI @JRB_AI]

Apple just announced the M6 MacBook Pro.

Can be specced out to 32GB RAM for $600 extra, starts at $3,199.

A solid bump for the base model, but plenty more to come.

Presale start on 29 October, deliveries from 6 November.

@NoemiTitarenco @acadictive It’s 500 pages?!

[JRB AI @JRB_AI]

@acadictive Different system prompts through the harness.

But good question!

Australia is a brilliant destination for @AnthropicAI and other AI labs.

Plentiful land, energy, stable political and social environment.

And conveniently a long way away from the other two countries, so will likely be well insulated from anything that happens in North America.

[CAMERONWILSON @cameronwilson]

interesting tidbit from Anthropic's public filings: Australia is one of three countries (Canada and US) where it leases data centres. The docs say it plans to expand to more -- but this shows how Australia is one of the top destinations for frontier labs looking abroad

@davishaal Hey let’s connect! Keen to hear what you’re building and congrats on the 200 milestone!

Between the MacBook Pro and the iPhone Duo, Apple’s hinge department is really having a moment.

[Mark Gurman @markgurman]

Ironically, one of the big things Apple will be touting for the OLED XDR touch MacBook Pro on Wednesday (ever so slightly thinner case, thinner bezels, noticeably lighter) is its revamped hinge that is more stable so touching the screen doesn't make it rock during usage.

You can craft a perfect prompt and still get stuck in a recursive agentic loop.

The skill is knowing where AI shines and where you shine.

[JRB AI @JRB_AI]

@GohilHardy Ha. So true.

[JRB AI @JRB_AI]

@BabaDev_ 😂😪

@changkongwuji8 I appreciated the “我爸是李刚” reference.

再强调一遍，浏览外网或翻墙被派出所传唤，根本不用慌。

首先是网警从流量监控系统中标记了你，然后会通知你当地的派出所片儿警将你传唤问话。

你的不当言论，会被打印出来，放在你面前。

你的手机，会要求解锁，他们会检查你在群里，聊天软件里还说了什么。

民警是很忙，但如果接到系统派发的工单，再忙也要处理，不然就一直挂在系统里，影响KPI了。

处理这种事，民警作为体制内打工人，他的自由裁量权很大的。你其实是增加他们工作量的一个小麻烦。只要好好配合，他们没必要跟你计较太多。

所以只要保证流程合规，上交资料完整，应付检查就行了。但你如果要装逼，摆出不合作的姿态，那不好意思，想整你的途径和方法太多了，哈哈。

去了之后，态度好一点，姿态低一点，开口说：“领导，不好意思，给你添麻烦了。”

然后最重要的是问话环节，他问你答。你不要没事找事，自己多说乱说。不知道、不了解、没做过的，直接就说不知道，别的一概不说。但你确实做过的，而且白纸黑字的放在你面前，那就不要抵赖。

不要说任何对抗性的言论。比如什么什么做的不对，所以我要批判。

如果你是因为不当发言被传唤，就说：“我理解错了意思，以为他在说什么，所以我才说了什么，表达有偏差。其实我不是这个意思。”

如果你是因为浏览了网站被传唤，就说我是不小心点到的，我一点开它就推送了，我也不知道为什么。

只要你态度好，把事情往小了说，一般也就是记录一下。没人愿意增加自己的工作量，对不对？

笔录确认没问题，签字盖章，这事儿就翻篇儿了。

千万不要装逼硬刚。

还有，虽然翻墙了，但什么该说、什么不该说，作为一个成年人，生在红旗下，长在春风里，接受了国家这么多年的教育，自己心里应该有点逼数。

毕竟你爸不是李刚，就算是，也不行。

@casparbuilds Tell me about it. Solo dev with a toddler and 9 to 5 here too.

Currently (impatiently) waiting for App Store review. What do the timeframes typically look like for you?

[JRB AI @JRB_AI]

@empowwerr Good stuff dude, have followed back, thanks for connecting and keen to learn more in the software engineering/agentic workflow space.

[JRB AI @JRB_AI]

Does saying “let’s connect” really work?

Keen to connect with people building the future!

[JRB AI @JRB_AI]

@TheXSami Thanks - followed back. Yes trying to respond to people, I agree it’s a good way to connect and I’m learning a lot along the way!
