My Masto timeline is mostly iOS devs and there’s a ton of Liquid Glass consternation but my guess is the reaction, especially after the second week when the outrage people have burned out, will basically be a shrug. Some will dig the specular highlights but most won’t care.
Has Apple committed to versioning device models? If a feature works on 26.0 but breaks in 26.1 due to model or guardrail changes, what can I do? Can I specify a version like in server-based LLM provider APIs?
Usually this sort of weird thing, you write them a note and then magically it gets fixed.
Got an App Store rejection and the screenshot they sent to explain shows the app was restricted via Screen Time? WTF?
Kinda shocked how well this generated.
Now two days since the Xcode beta and the visionOS SDK still can’t be downloaded. ☹️
Xcode 16.3b3 has been out for a day and it seems nobody at Apple has noticed they forgot to post the visionOS SDK. Not great.
I tried implementing this with seed 1 and I’m not sure it works yet? Could be me though. Would love to hear from others.
Interesting, looks like a new API for Apple Intelligence in 18.4, exposing the summarization and prioritization features to third party apps.

Beware if you use anything that does virtualization like Parallels, Docker Desktop, OrbStack, UTM, etc... They seem to panic 15.4b1 as soon as they start.
I’m a little surprised I haven’t seen more apps update to support Siri getting content from what’s on the screen. I used Apple’s sample and it was pretty simple - stitches together Transferable and NSUserActivity with some of the new assistant macros.

Nope, that’s for execs (the office used to be Steve Wynn’s and is the office the Terry Benedict character uses in the 2001 Ocean’s Eleven. At Bellagio, the VIP entrance for villa customers who want privacy is here:
Unfortunately my set of plans don’t include the corporate office bit.
45 this year so did my first colonoscopy. I dreaded it but have to say, it’s like 10% as bad as I thought it would be and now I’m off the hook for a decade. Recommend the tablets over the chalky drink.
Dog, outdoors.
Good times today in the mist.

Played with Sora quite a bit today. I don’t have any use for it at work but it’s pretty amazing technology. It took a photo of me and turned that into me hanging out in some random kitchen. Uncanny.
@gruber.foo Looks like the atrium dome is going now.
Yeah, me too into iCloud Drive. I’ve been on 18.2 through the whole beta cycle including now the RC and haven’t noticed this (yet?) Perhaps file size?
Like from Safari into Downloads? I do that sometimes - seems to still be fine here. Maybe specific file types are an issue?
I think it was 16.2b2 they were talking about improvements to this. I assumed that meant an updated model, yeah.
Today’s build is RC so definitely not. They do sometimes disallow App Store builds from beta macOS versions but I *think* that’s only over the summer. But RC builds are okay policy-wise. Some times ASC lags in allowing the latest.
Finally got to see Juror #2. Really enjoyed it. Written by a friend of a family member so perhaps some bias but it’s just really good.

@gruber.foo I was actually surprised this worked.
Ah, forgot this was out. Adding to my list.
