@garrytan I got this message on two different ideas I’ve been kicking around. Do your analytics tell you how often this message is delivered? I just assumed it was shown to everyone.

@shai_wininger Why is New York not selectable on your wait list?

I've kept this XKCD comic on my office cork board for years -- the one that tells you how long you can spend automating a routine task before it’s no longer worth your time.

LLMs move the curve for trivial desktop automations: the break-even point drops so low that one could justify automating almost anything. Even, hypothetically, for a savings of 1 second once a month. /end/

macOS Tahoe shipped with an AI chat pane in Xcode, but Script Editor is still . . . Script Editor.

Meanwhile, ChatGPT 5.1 with heavy thinking will one-shot most of my desktop automation user stories using AppleScript. /1/

Perhaps there's a lane here for third parties. Script Debugger with a baked-in AI copilot could emerge from its otherwise well-earned retirement to reinvent the category. @latenightsw ;) /6/

@dbreunig @OBSProject + @macwhisperapp is also pretty great for that use case.

@framer_x Cool! Reminds me of the Ricky Gervais Show from years back. https://t.co/VhL6oNPQsF

@mnolangray DC in Minority Report. Spielberg’s “futurist” consultants advised the art team that the downtown would likely never be up-zoned, and all the futuristic density should be on the other side of the Potomac.

@mattcassinelli I activate on my NYC subway commute. With my @AmazonKindle on the hotspot, I’m able to sync book highlights and notes to the cloud throughout my commute. When I get to my desk, I sync those highlights to @logseq using @readwise.

@_DavidSmith @imyke Thanks for keeping it going as long as you did! Can you recommend an alternative? I’d be curious to know what you’ll be migrating to for your personal feed.

@OvercastFM Love the Recents tab in CarPlay. Are there any plans to bring that functionality to iOS? It would really help if I could keep a list of episodes I haven’t finished.
