hello

[Tim Cook @tim_cook]

Sending lots of love to the Apple community on my last day as CEO. My title changes tomorrow, but the love I have for the Apple community never will. Thank you for being a constant source of inspiration. My gratitude is endless, and I’m excited for the next chapter!

Good morning everyone.

Below is my latest macro view on Indonesia, originally prepared for my employer and published with permission for public discussion.

Indonesia remains one of Southeast Asia’s largest economies, but beneath the headline 5% GDP growth lies a far more fragile macro picture. The country is increasingly facing a triple deficit:

• Fiscal deficit: Debt-to-GDP remains relatively low, but debt servicing now consumes more than half of government revenue, leaving limited fiscal flexibility. The constitutional 3% fiscal deficit cap remains Indonesia’s most important macro anchor. Breaching it would severely damage policy credibility, weaken the rupiah, raise borrowing costs, increase the risk of sovereign rating downgrades, and potentially trigger capital flight.

• External deficit: The commodity-driven trade surplus is narrowing. Coal faces long-term structural pressure as renewables gradually displace thermal generation, while Chinese downstream investment is becoming increasingly selective amid rising policy uncertainty.

• Confidence deficit: Perhaps the most dangerous of all. Investors are increasingly questioning fiscal discipline, regulatory consistency, governance quality, banking independence, and policy predictability. Once confidence deteriorates, higher interest rates alone are unlikely to stabilize the currency.

Indonesia still possesses enormous strengths: a young population, abundant natural resources, and tremendous tourism potential. However, demographics alone cannot compensate for weak execution, declining education quality, a shrinking middle class, or an increasingly uncertain policy environment.

I would be happy to hear your views, challenge my assumptions, and discuss where Indonesia goes from here.

@grok Hey @grok According to your analysis from the last 180 days, name 50 accounts in sequence who frequently visit my profile. Don't mention the person, [email protected] and the rate of number of times a month visit the profile.

say what you want about apple’s ai strategy but only they go this deep on human computer interaction like this. nobody else is even comes close. the level of craft is borderline ridiculous. this is the interface through which billions experience. it matters a lot.

the theory & context behind the work is so much fun to watch.

I recently got to visit some Apple labs where they durability test new iPhones before they come out, and learned a few things (🧵THREAD)

#1: Have you actually seen how they water test phones for IP ratings? (video)

pas nonton review Hyundai Ioniq 5 N dari Om Fitra Eri bikin aku inget saat kuliah Akustik di ITB (8 tahun lalu)
nyari slide kuliah nggak nemu, jadi barusan nyari sendiri aja di Google Scholar.. riset kampus dan industri di Korea bener-bener ambisius dan diarahin ke kebutuhan mereka sendiri

dulu dosen di ITB cerita kalau video yg ia tampilkan di kelas saat itu (2016) hasil riset 10 tahun lalu, jadi yaa totalnya 16 tahun lalu dari 2024.

namanya riset dasar, ia belum terlalu keliatan bakal terbentuk untuk apa aplikasinya di mana dan kapan?
kalau ditarik belasan tahun ke belakang bagi yg nyadar akan tahu kalau riset ilmu dasar dan rekayasa kentara banget dari produk teknologi mereka dari Samsung, Hyundai, LG, dll
Contoh aja ini publikasi tahun 2008 (16 tahun lalu) tentang gimana sih cara mengukur mobil mewah dari suaranya doang? Sebelum itu, percaya gak sih kalau kita tahu barang mahal bisa dari sentuhan, penampilan, dan... suara?

Lalu dikonseplah, kira-kira ada beragam suara apa aja yang ada di sebuah mobil mewah. Suara dihasilkan dari berbagai bagian mekanikal yg berputar dan bergetar.
Parameter Psikoakustik dipakai untuk mengukur 'kemewahan mobil', yaitu Loudness, Sharpness, dan Roughness. Konsep “Psychophysics” dilahirkan oleh Gustav Fechner di tahun 1860.

Temuan parameter Sharpness aja ditemukan Zwicker dan Fastl di tahun 1990. Jadi bener-bener perjalanan panjang riset dasar untuk entah kapan kegunaannya untuk bidang apa aja.

Sebetulnya masih cukup ngetik panjang tapi gambarnya maksimal 4, mau masukin gambar baru jadi lanjut aja jadi utas di bawah.

“Rp” merupakan simbol mata uang, bukan singkatan. Karena itu, ia ditulis tanpa tanda titik dan tanpa spasi: Rp5.000.

Untuk bidang yang memerlukan ketelitian, sen masih perlu dituliskan: Rp5.000,00. Penutup ",-" tidak jelas dari mana asalnya.
