Found another one! Two passengers + steering wheel. It looked like it was being manually driven.

This is the clearest example of the UI regression I've felt from macOS Yosemite -> Tahoe. Great post, @nickheer.com.

Honestly, it didn't even take a weekend to build. Just a few hours with Claude. Source here: github.com/georgemblack...

REALLY wondering if they’re still using the A13, or if they upgraded the silicon. Not that it matters.

Super cool, are you using SwiftUI for the controls, and web views for the content?

There’s no way. It’s gotta be a code name.

Apple unveils new Studio Display and all-new Studio Display XDR Apple today announced a new family of displays, Studio Display and Studio Display XDR, that takes pro workflows to the next level.

RIP Pro Display XDR. I don’t see it listed in the store. I bet the Mac Pro isn’t far behind β€” just waiting on the new Mac Studio to come out.

I see his point – in the hypothetical where Anthropic's model is as powerful as a nuclear weapon, of course the US wouldn't let a private company control it.

I just think the hypothetical is absurd.

Internet connectivity in Iran is now in a near-complete shutdown, down about 98% vs the previous week. The disruption began around 07:00 UTC, following reports of military strikes β€” and in past incidents the government has responded with nationwide Internet shutdowns.

Sorry @americanhousing.bsky.social β€” I was in the area so I had to snoop! This startup is more exciting to me than anything happening in the AI world.

This makes sense to me! Except I think the iPad Pro would be replaced with a Mac that fills the same role. (Touchscreen, removable keyboard.)

I have a hard time believing they’d split the iPad line between macOS/iOS.

Either way, some macOS/iPadOS convergence is inevitable in the long run.

My guess is the latter.

I’d be floored if they sold a version without a steering wheel to consumers by end of year.

So… it definitely feels like Cybercab manufacturing will be ready long before FSD.

So will they let the manufacturing lines just sit there? Or will they add a steering wheel and start selling it?
