There was one feature from yesterday's #WWDC24 that made my jaw drop slam to the floor. When you’re taking handwritten notes, it learns your handwriting style and it cleans it up as you write. It doesn’t convert it into text or into a font or anything — it dynamically just cleans up your actual handwriting. I have dysgraphia, my handwriting is terrible but I love the action of handwriting notes. That’s unbelievably cool to me. Real, practical magic.  @samhenrigold I have *such* mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, yes, that’s super cool to help increase legibility and “clean it up” as you say. At the same time, it feels like homogenizing handwriting as it is happening kills a bit of the charm of handwriting?? I imagine it’s an optional thing you can turn off; do you know if it’s on by default? It would feel very strange to me to constantly have my own, personal handwriting constantly “corrected” by a machine.  @samhenrigold oh that is nice. I have reams of notes on stuff I cannot read because I wrote it.  I feel like I’m in the minority here but whenever I get a message that’s very clearly AI written, I feel like my time is being disrespected by making me read these empty words. I don’t love that it’s now just baked into the system. Just tell me what I need to know. Wanna schedule a meeting? Cool. I don’t need to read three paragraphs of statistically likely junk.

@samhenrigold agreed. I do not look forward to reading filler/fluff. I guess we will turn around and summarize the crap using the thing. What an absolute waste of resources. @samhenrigold In Germany we trained this by reading US non-fiction books vs German non-fiction books. But with AI it is now even worse, because it is not repetitive for better flow and learning which is a benefit of US-non-fiction but with AI it is actually just a soulless void talking to you.

 But as a large tech company, Apple is required to have generative AI features in their products. @samhenrigold  @samhenrigold They probably asked their AI, “Which of these images look less like slop?” and they got what AI can judge.  we out here* *speculating wildly about public UI controls as they show off screenshots  WWDC sessions will drop RIGHT AFTER State of the Union instead of a full 24 hours later. Awesome! Consumer features are great but I'm really, really hoping for the gap between SwiftUI and UIKit to get narrower this year. It really is the future of the platform but it sucks that you have to dive below the surface and introspect away some silly behavior that isn't exposed to you by default. #WWDC24 And all this "smart" stuff, it needs to be gone completely if SwiftUI is ever to be taken seriously there was an episode of drake and josh years ago where drake’s record label got creative control, remixed and ruined his song. so the show had to create a remix of the song so bad that a child audience could easily go “oh this utterly sucks”. but. given the current hyperpop moment…it kinda eats?? I put the Massachusetts tourism jingle over that bar fight at the Saugus Kowloon on thanksgiving reminder to check that your header dump and binary string extraction scripts are locked and loaded for tomorrow having a gay ol time exploring the Intl apis. Genuinely had no idea some of these methods were a thing. https://www.intl-explorer.com/Playground two minutes of lo-fi puffin groans to study/relax to (via https://fairislebirdobs.co.uk)

@samhenrigold they replaced THIS with Porgs‽ These are the most Star Wars ass birds ever. |
What do you mean by runtime dump? Last time I reverse engineered iOS I was able to mount the largest .dmg from the .ipsw and extract the dyld cache with some tool I found on github
