Does anyone here have a contact at Apple on the entitlements or APNs team?

Specifically need a Notification Service Filtering (NSF) entitlement for a notification service extension

Have been stuck in review for almost a month now with no updates, really appreciate any help!

Quick rant and thoughts on the state of software design & engineering. It comes as no surprise that the models have allowed designers to implement and explore their wildest dreams. But I cannot explain enough how much more important that makes understanding the lowest levels of the stack

Take for example these demos. It turns out that instant launch, a fast + instantly zoomable grid, and morphing photo clusters onto the surface of a globe are actually all underpinned by the same technical component: a really fast image thumbnail cache (and cache management). There is a lot more detail that goes into making each experience independently high quality, but that cache is the biggest performance bottleneck for each one - because ultimately they all depend on extremely fast data retrieval to even exist. You can’t use a globe that doesn’t spin and you can’t use a grid you can’t see or scroll. Therefore they never get built and die in imagination land. Achieving your design goals requires being able to identify their core infrastructural overlap

Obviously you don’t need to know every detail, but it’s now your responsibility now to use the models to help you uncover your unknown unknowns about the hidden connections in any system you are building. The proper solution is latent in your unoptimized code. Its complexity is the raw material you need to chisel away at and navigate to the “correct” side of the solution space

Will the models be able to come to conclusions like this autonomously soon? Yes. I think there will need to be advancements in the ability to quickly reason about and quantify the complexity (whatever that means) of a given piece of software and instantly determine what to chop up / refactor / redesign as it develops into its simplest possible form. That might not mean the fewest or tersest LOC but perhaps how few turns it takes a model to achieve a verified solution to any given task, or how tangled its code reference graph is.

But I think it will always be an advantage to know where to poke

@omooretweets DoorDash has been making moves to position themselves in the AI era and also have a CLI in beta meant for agents so I think they'll be fine

But yes, agree with your broader point

[Matt @gymnasiumbro]

Going to release this more broadly since it’s been so useful to my workflow. If you use AI voice mode and are open to trying, pls hit me up!

Ayn Rand once said, “I would give the greatest sunset in the world for one sight of New York’s skyline.”

Today we had the greatest sunset over the world’s greatest skyline.

@alexkehr This is right up @pfista's alley

[Zinger @thisiszinger]

@saradu I know @gymnasiumbro and @pfista have been thinking a lot about this

Introducing mko4 radio.

I mostly listen to YouTube live sets, and I wanted a place to start collecting my favorites. So I added a section to my personal site.

When you click on one, the site adjusts its theme and animates to match as the video plays.

Check it out and lmk what you think!

@madelinehpark Really has been generational, can't even be mad about this rain, we were due

[signüll @signulll]

rich personal websites possibly with your first & last name domain or even with an identity like signull will matter a lot more because when personal agents browse the internet for a variety of use cases, that context will be highly ranked.

first & last name domains + a rich website will be the new facebook profile. imagine a match maker agent finding you because you’re single, or a job search agent because you’re looking for a gig, or an agent that finds you ppl to play tennis with, etc.

discoverability for agents will be huge & networks like insta & linkedin will have not have huge incentives to open this up for other agents than their own, so it’ll matter again a lot more.

I'm so tired of reading model outputs. Never have I read so much in my life.

i unironically think most ppl who identify as trenchers are actually suffering from gambling addiction

we should have this dialogue more openly and im happy to see big accounts setting the standard

it's okay to not be okay. seeking help is not weakness

@BobbyThakkar What's it better at than the rest?

[fudge @fudgeposting]

with the pierre, astral and sky acquisitions this might be one of the greatest engineering orgs of our time

@2010brianwilson Red Hook or Minetta? If you’re talking about RHT you must’ve just gotten a bad one and need to go again, have had it many times and it is an excellent burger

[Zinger @thisiszinger]

Any top NYC burger list that doesn’t include Red Hook Tavern is just unserious

Also fwiw I think the JG Melon burger is more about nostalgia than taste, it’s fine

[Will Yeatman @willyeatman]

Top 5 - don’t @ me, I don’t care

1. JG Melon - it’s the vibes and it’s my neighborhood spot.
2. Raouls - it’s the best flavor of any burger ever.
3. Minetta - it’s a man’s burger. NYC staple.
4. Gramercy Tavern - it’s as American as it gets and it’s perfect.
5. 4 Charles. I’d leave it out but it wouldn’t be right.
Bonus: formerly bar sardine. It was the best burger I’d ever had until it closed.

It's election night

I made a website that lets you follow the midterm results like it's the battle for King's Landing, using live trades and data from @Kalshi

Big news for our developers! We are shipping a developer preview that dramatically expands the capabilities of all apps to integrate into Siri. So excited to see what you folks do with this.
