Yes, this. I was about to post my own comment and will instead reply and upvote yours.

This strikes me as setting the conversation to be whether it's 'secure', and can then everyone can discuss that part - instead of the fact that's not where or how that conversation should have been happening at all.

Wasn't the CEO of Disney on stage when the Vision Pro was introduced/announced? From an IP standpoint having Disney on stage over Netflix seems like the better choice...

Really shows to me why so many developers end up focusing so much more on the iOS versions of their apps. I would have expected the same.

I work with a lot of 4K elements and video in Apple Motion, After Effects, and other applications. The better the chip the faster things go, especially previews and encoding. Every second ends up counting.

I can see why others like me may upgrade. But I’m not going to bother just yet.

I don't recall which interviews I saw it stated in, but I believe Sam said in one or two of his world tour stops, where he stated they deliberately have gone with a technical name instead of a human name to help remind those using it that it's not a person. So I think that coupled with the mindshare (as others have stated) it already holds, makes a lot of sense to stick with it.

Great point. It's fascinating that the trend of the pop music industry has been towards more and more electronic control over vocals and instruments and everything else for a very long time... and now that AI can basically replicate it, and with all the auto-tune that we got used to, we can barely tell if it's 'real' or AI-generated.

Since we have no eyes into the Custom Instructions - and while i personally haven't tested WHEN it takes these custom instructions into account, it says this before you use them: "Your instructions will be added to new conversations going forward, and you can edit or delete them at any time."

So, is it POSSIBLE that the custom instructions editing could have caused this, and there are weird instructions being changed between chats?

I haven't used Notion, but in my research its AI feature is only the Smart Write/Edit that Mem has - tho I am unsure how well it uses the rest of the content you have inside of Notion, as their sales page doesn't really make that clear.

Mem.ai has integrated many aspects into it - I love that I am now unconcerned about tags or folders or categories.

This looks great! I was about to start learning and diving into Obsidian about a month ago, finally driven to begin building a personal knowledgebase...

And then I found Mem.ai and dove into that instead, and i've been extremely happy with it. It accomplishes this aspect he's offering here (where it uses your knowledgebase to assist in your writing). However, it's also got built in chat with your knowledgebase, and helps with auto-sorting and all of that.

For those that want their data on their computer, I totally see why Obsidian is the most desirable. So this sort of addition would be the best of both worlds for them.

Sketch 3 released 12 years ago

It's incomparable - in that Sketch is far better prepared for it. Photoshop has never been aimed at that, any the ways people make it happen are sort of 'hacks' they discovered to get to what they need to do.

Sketch has been developed from the ground up as a Screen design tool, and it shows.

Thanks for the reminder. You're right.

Well, if anything then, this could signal that 'owning my digital content that's really owned/held by Comixology' means it'll be around longer.

This may be a weird reason to not be happy with this, but I pay for my subscriptions and purchases on Comixology with PayPal, and I'm pretty certain that will go away pretty soon now.

I'd love to think that this will stay the same, but I see lots of changes happening from this, most not so great.

I remember when everyone was bagging on the iPhone for being 'so big'. "who is going to put that damn thing up to their face? They look hilarious! What is this, 1990?"

Really amazing how times change. I think it's because when the iPhone came out, no one could think of using their Phone for everything that they are now used for - so it just seemed like overkill. Now for a lot of people, it's their computer.

And 5 years ago, everything was Windows centric. Things change.

Another lover of Rdio - been a paying subscriber for 2.5 years and gave it as a gift to three friends, plus on the family plan for my wife, brother and I. It's awesome.

I find the part at the end about the Perry Mason aspect very interesting, and actually my favourite part of the article.

And the final sentence, feels like the real reason this was posted to HN: "And sometimes we call that a bug and sometimes we call it a feature."

Edit: Also, the 'Gonzo' genre of Post-Apocalyptic Comedies and Friendship seems it's got its first one in "This Is The End".

Animals has a lot to do with it - Animals are sentient, thinking, feelings beings. A calf has the same personality and emotions as a puppy.
