I am going to try and be less snarky today, but the slick keynote format feels so tone deaf given the state of developer relations at the moment, and it is definitely rubbing me the wrong way.
Dear Apple, most of the time when I am talking about Time Machines I am not talking about your backup technology, so please stop capitalising the words.
Could we maybe stop talking about LLMs like they are becoming sentient? Amongst other stolen data, they have been trained on a whole bunch of text from science fiction stories about computers becoming sentient, and statistically know how to write that kind of thing.
You're not creating Skynet here, it's just seen The Terminator a hundred times and is quoting your favourite lines at you.
Well, I guess I wonβt be filing any more bugs then.
I can see some _maybe_ semi-legitimate uses for training an LLM on developer content - like _potentially_ on dev forums or something like that. But not on my sysdiagnose logs that in the same dialog it says might contain sensitive information, and with apparently no opt-out.
Dice by PCalc 2.8 is out now (finally)!
This release adds support for iOS 18 and macOS 15, including Control Center buttons for quick rolling, and dark and tinted icons.
As well as four new themes, thereβs also a new picker which makes it easier to see all the visual options for dice in one place.
iOS:
I would bet a non-trivial amount of money that Apple will also switch off Advanced Data Protection in the US within the year, because they just handed a blueprint to every government around the world that wants to spy on their citizens.
