@aleck I feel your pain, I started on ~1100. 654 to go.

Swift Observable now works automagically in UIKit to invalidate layoutSubviews!! Super cool

Back-deployable to iOS 18 too!

Fascinating.

Welcome back @johnsundell ! Looking forward to read new interesting stuff on your site!

“It is very easy to get ChatGPT to emit a series of words such as ‘I am happy to see you.’ There are many things we don’t understand about how large language models work, but one thing we can be sure of is that ChatGPT is not happy to see you. A dog can communicate that it is happy to see you, and so can a prelinguistic child, even though both lack the capability to use words. ChatGPT feels nothing and desires nothing, and this lack of intention is why ChatGPT is not actually using language.”

“Apple is not going to roll out their much anticipated, much hyped, and much talked-about AI features in the EU. Why? Because payback is a bitch, that's why.”

Absolutely scorching take by @mgs and one I had never considered.

Spyglass is an excellent read, worth a look.

@icanzilb is it that bad? 😳

Let’s go! #nsspainxi

The German word "Sack" can mean:

- sack, bag

- man (derogatory)

The German word "gerissen" means:

- torn, ruptured

- sly, shrewd

So, when Germans say "Der alte Sack ist gerissen" it can mean:

- "The old bag is damaged"

or

- "That old fart is clever!"

Enjoy our language!
