  • Mark Zuckerberg has a short thread on, uhm, Threads that highlights the announcements from Meta Connect today. The no-camera glasses look good, and the Muse Charm is fun. I just wish another company was shipping this stuff.

  • John Gruber linked to this iPhone 4 Antennagate Q&A and it really is extraordinary. A look back into an old version of Apple, sitting somewhere between the classic Mac days of the 1990s and today’s Apple.

  • Another trailer for Nathan Fielder’s You Can See Everything. Amazing. I don’t know what kind of story this is going to tell, but it’s obviously going to be a totally different kind of documentary.

  • First trailer for Ray Gunn is out. Brad Bird had been wanting to make this film for decades. Can’t believe it’s actually happening.

  • Still settling in to what AI models I should be using. Last month, I was happy with GPT-5.6 Sol (xhigh) and fast mode all the time. Astra blew that up because it’s just more expensive. I think GPT-6 Sol (high) is the right balance for my usage.

  • Politico quoting Trump’s remarks at the UN:

    From this point forward, all United States documents and hopefully the world’s will be changed to use the much more accurate term, super, as opposed to artificial. So it’s super intelligence.

    No. As usual this is just a distraction. 🇺🇸

  • Lots of AI news today. Opus 5.5, and GPT-6 Sol and Luna. Luna is very affordable. 1/100th the price of Astra. The only cheaper model from OpenAI is the old GPT-5 Nano, which I’m still using for some server work because of the price.

  • OutPost is a new Micropub client for Mac, with full compatibility with Micro.blog-hosted blogs. It’s a public beta now. Initial testing looks good! In fact I’m typing this microblog post using it.

  • Following up on my home server minor dilemma… The problem is best illustrated with this summary:

    • Mac mini with 4 TB: $3499
    • Beelink mini PC + 4 TB internal M.2: $865

    That is quite the price difference. I feel like the M5 Pro is wasted here.

  • Thinking more about what I need for home NAS or OpenClaw server. I have an old Drobo that has important files I need to transfer before it stops working. Could get a Synology, Mac mini that solves multiple problems, or… nothing. I don’t love maintaining extra hardware.
