Excited to upgrade to a Mac with Thunderbolt 5 which should allow for 6K at 120Hz with 10 bit color over a single cable. All this with an OLED panel is just about peak display for me.(though miniLED would be fine too)

So in a good case scenario say AI continues on it's current exponential pace, most information workers are replaced by an agent, and a UBI comes about. What then? For people the life's journey is often more important than the destination, but now we are essentially playing on a God mode and everything comes too easy. This is something i've been dealing with, It will be hard trying to find a purpose when your contributions dont mean much. Your family and some hobbies is alls left to contribute to. We will be like spoilt children who have everything given to them on a silver platter, will it make us miserable?

Hetzner seems to have the best deals in cloud computing right now, especially for individuals / small companies. I'm excited for their dedicated ARM vCPUs to become available!

Vector GPU Rasterization in Chrome is still broken on Apple Silicon Macs. Has been for more than a year.

Cant wait for Apple's 6K 120Hz OLED Pro display using the 120Gbps upstream support of this spec. We are nearing peak display.

To be fair vector images in Chrome on m1 macs have been pixelated for over a year

I think we are seeing a 2 pronged change in the automotive space and I think Apple can contribute to both.

1. Consumer-owned Electric Cars with advanced AI safety and lane-keeping assist (Traditional Automakers)

2. Corporation-owned Fully Autonomous Vehicles as a service. (Waymo, Cruise etc)

The former Apple is already having its presence known with CarPlay and will continue to expand with its 'next generation' previewed at WWDC that can take over all screens in a car. I feel as though by 2026 when electric cars will be even more mainstream the Apple version of a Tesla will be less differentiated and not high margin enough.

The latter is a more ambitious and disruptive long term goal. It's harder to do right, but has a much greater upside. The Apple Car may actually be the Apple Car Service with custom autonomous driving hardware and software developed by Apple. The service would be highly integrated into Apple's exiting ecosystem and would bring with it the luxury and trust that people associate with the brand

agree, cloud services are way too expensive, especially when you can get an 8 core mac mini for $700.

Cruise and Waymo are the clear market leaders in Autonomous Vehicles. Tracking the progress of these companies in the past year alone where they are operating with no safety driver in dense San Francisco is incredibly impressive. The field of machine learning in general is advancing at a great pace as well. I think by the end of the decade in places with limited weather events AV will be as common as Uber. At some point people will reconsider buying a new car and just rely on a robotaxi subscription along with walking, cycling, and transit to get around. It will be survival of the fittest though, only few companies will succeed. Tesla 'Autopilot' on the other hand doesn't even use Lidar, seems to disconnect frequently and is much more dangerous. I really think they use deceptive marketing.

I am writing the backend of my side-project with it. Async/Await in Swift is game-changing for safety and productivity. The tooling is only getting better and you can expect greater maturity with the coming of [Swift 6](https://forums.swift.org/t/on-the-road-to-swift-6/32862) likely next year.

Transportation and housing are intrinsically linked with affordability and quality of life. For North American society to improve we need to address these issues.

In Canada extremely unaffordable housing has been the reality since the Pandemic. I think the US is just catching up and when it does there will be more unrest because of how much influence the states have over social media and news in general around the world.

Hard disagree. By this logic we’d still be writing COBOL. Yes, switching tools has an inherent cost associated but, you must calculate what makes sense for your team. Not everything is relative, some tools are simply better than others.

Tabs are imperative to web productivity.

On Google Chrome since tabs are on their own row at the top of the window and maintain their size and position you can fling your mouse to the top of the screen easily hit them. On Safari since the address bar expands from the active tab, the size and position of the tabs are drastically changing. This makes selecting a tab more difficult. Additionally, since the size the address bar is wider the distance your mouse has to travel to select the neighbouring tab increases.

In the end this leads to more effort and bad ergonomics. I would love it if they just had the tabs on one row and address bar one row, until then I will stick with chrome on the desktop.

If you look on the Swift GitHub page you will see tremendous effort going into async/await. It will change the game for server side swift later this year.

It's not the worst, but doing anything network related is very slow. Apparently it's uses html5 in the browse section under the hood, not even a true native app.

Haha I know. So many people think it is fully autonomous too.

I could see Apple come out with their own in-house Cloud Computing platform within the next 2 years.

- They would be vertically integrated with Apple Silicon

  - Apple themselves are increasingly depending on cloud services

  - Async/Await in Swift will likely land next year, making Server-Side Swift much more appealing

  - Apple is greatly increasing cloud / Kubernetes hires

  - Could share a single Apple Silicon ARM architecture from client(ios) to dev(mac) to cloud
