What I’m up to? A little recap of the first week of April 2025

Since I started blogging a little bit more, I’m trying to recap my “journal” once a week for who’s interested in what am I doing during the week.

This is the first “issue”: www.eliseomartelli.it/blog/2025-04...

Whenever I use Apple Music on my Mac, I remember this photograph depicting Steve Jobs, and the passion that Apple once had for music.

The Music app on Mac is incredibly slow. Adding a song to a playlist freezes the user interface for multiple seconds.

Inconceivable.

ML model to guess WWDC dates Guesssing the date of an event that Apple schedules with a calendar

Inspired by a post from David Smith on Mastodon, I fitted some ML models to predict the next WWDC dates.

Spoiler Alert: WWDC 2025 is predicted to be on Monday, June 9, 2025, with the announcement coming on Tuesday, April 1.

I think I will work on reducing the dimensions of the vectors next, since I want to add a search functionality to the site.

I'd like to implement word stemming too (maybe even naively by just using some regexes).

Building The New Recommendation System Sometimes, a little bit of math is all you need

I put up a post recommendation system for my blog using vector similarity on TF-IDF, I don't have _real_ experience (only some academic ones) for this kind of tasks, but I think it came out good!

Apple's Software Quality Crisis: When Premium Hardware Meets Subpar Software Tim, I think we are not cooking

I am glad that more people are waking up to the realization that Apple is not the company they used to be. I wish it were not the case but Tim Cook's reign has fundamentally compromised the reasons you would have chosen Apple in 2005 or 2012. www.eliseomartelli.it/blog/2025-03...
