Is the day before WWDC a terrible time to release software that has a brand new on-device AI model, or the perfect time? No idea what Apple is going to release for developers tomorrow, but maybe it says something about my low expectations.

For the next Micro.blog for Mac, I also updated the movies pane a little, adding profile icons and the blog (or Letterboxd) domain name. Nice thing about a major new version is it’s an opportunity to go through the entire app looking for improvements to make.

Enjoyed this post from Cory Doctorow: Refining humanity:

Computers don’t just clarify what we know and how we organize our society: they also clarify what we are.

Notus reporting:

Senior U.S. officials have held preliminary discussions with major artificial intelligence companies about the potential for the federal government to acquire some shares in their firms…

Sort of says something about the potential bipartisan response to AI that Trump, Bernie Sanders, and Sam Altman all generally agree that the public should own a piece of AI. Separately, I think there should be public AI just like there are public libraries. But maybe you do that and a system of dividends.

In prep for WWDC, reading up on some things I should’ve learned about Apple Foundation Models a year ago. I think I had dismissed it quickly because the on-device models are so small by frontier AI standards.

Worked out some of my disappointment with that basketball loss by writing a bunch of new code. Always feels good to make progress on something.

Insane 4th quarter. Heartbreaking final 10 seconds. 🏀

Almost glad I’m not at the game because too many Knicks fans in San Antonio. Tough series so far. Spurs played better in game 1 but couldn’t get the win. Knicks playing better so far in game 2. One more quarter to go! 🏀

I didn’t expect Google of all companies would need to rent server space from SpaceX. I wonder how they’re preparing to accommodate the new Gemini-powered Siri, too.

I don’t listen to Pivot regularly anymore, because I need a break from politics, but sometimes Scott Galloway captures an idea perfectly:

The ultimate luxury item isn’t a home in Aspen or a Gulfstream. It’s being 28 and figuring out a way to live in New York, and knowing that every time you leave your house, your life could change. You could find someone to fund your business. You could find a cofounder. You could find just some incredible inspiring piece of art or culture. You could find someone you end up marrying.
