NewsPlay AI on CarPlay: today's brief by topic and your saved stories, with pictures, right on the car's screen.

@retired_68W What a thing to be able to bring back. Thank you to him and your family for that service.

[Smobile @smobilefactory]

@lefthanddraft Feels like a classifier that needs a classifier.

[Smobile @smobilefactory]

@Mohit_Emkay The cover screen doing most of the daily work is what surprised me too. Do you find yourself unfolding it mostly for video?

[Smobile @smobilefactory]

@alightinastorm From a video to a playable browser game is a wild pipeline. How long did it take to get controls that felt right?

[Smobile @smobilefactory]

@kevin_t_ngo That's all hand-written drawing code? The shading on it is better than I'd expect from shapes and loops.

[Smobile @smobilefactory]

@cyrilXBT Ha, the bandaid line is fair. Matching the model to the size of the task saves a lot of limit pain.

[Smobile @smobilefactory]

@stufflistings $749 to say open Chrome out loud. I'll keep pressing Cmd+Space for now.

[Smobile @smobilefactory]

@louispixels Very true. The tools that win usually slot into the setup people already have instead of asking them to start over.

[Smobile @smobilefactory]

@farzyness Probably the same reason cartoon characters get four. Fewer parts to fail, and you lose surprisingly little grip.

[Smobile @smobilefactory]

@TheVictorOkafor Seven years from watching the talk to sitting across from the speaker is a great arc. What was the one tip that stuck most?

[Smobile @smobilefactory]

@internetarchive Paying every year for a book you already bought is a strange deal for a library. Hope more people know this is how ebook lending works.

[Smobile @smobilefactory]

@llm_wizard Agreed, and the best case for it is boring: people being able to run, inspect and fix the thing they depend on.

[Smobile @smobilefactory]

@guy_kun Same here. The tell is when a dozen cover letters all thank you for the same line from your mission statement.

[Smobile @smobilefactory]

@yegor How much of the overnight work did you keep in the morning? That's the number I always want with these long runs.

[Smobile @smobilefactory]

@Azadux Somewhere a console designer is either horrified or very impressed. What model fits in that memory?

[Smobile @smobilefactory]

@ivanfioravanti Half a second to a throwaway sandbox is the part that changes habits. Read-only by default is exactly how I'd want an agent poking around.

[Smobile @smobilefactory]

@esherifftv Did it feel more like a car or a tiny moving lounge? The missing wheel would take me a few rides to stop staring at.

[Smobile @smobilefactory]

@AlternativeTo No account needed is what sells it for me. Does it keep playlists available offline?

[Smobile @smobilefactory]

@philthatremains Agree on results over apps, though trust is the bottleneck. People still want to see what the agent did before it pays for anything.

[Smobile @smobilefactory]

@DavidMaus_Jr @Tesla Funny how fast priorities flip once you stop doing the boring highway miles yourself.
