If any language needs to rest in peace, it might be JS

It's time has come...

Looks slick.

Would be useful to use the app w/o signing up first... and trialing it out

Excellent discussion with economist Prof. Ajay Agrawal (author) on the future of work and the skills needed to stay employed and productive.

A lot of the discussion is familiar, but the examples are quite illustrative.

Thanks for posting this.

Both the apps + people (Nik & Shan) are new to me. I like supporting indie devs and their apps, and seeing their success, so I might support them. Esp. with Adobe and their yearly subscription for PS / Adobe CC (groan).

Thanks for posting this. I concur with the writer...

I started taking early morning walks during the pandemic. First to get out of the house and relieve the burden of being cloistered indoors with endless zoom calls. Then the walks started feeling refreshing; my mind wandered freely, sometimes listening to engaging podcasts ("A history of the world in 100 objects", several BBC In Our Time episodes, etc), sometimes reaching out to distant family members / friends / colleagues in different regions. Net-net, I appreciated both the remote connections of (sometimes long-lost) friends & family, and freeing up the literal constraints of space and mind.

I've continued my walks, now with my partner. We regularly go on our 45-minute, 2.5 mile walks every morning, rain or shine.

Highly recommended!

Thanks a ton for posting this ! I have been looking for just such material on implementing AI Governance (at a non profit, if that matters). The whole literature and research listed there is super helpful to me.

Thanks Beatrice

You’re very welcome :)))

Is it just my vision, or are websites getting super low contrast these days, esp the text-heavy ones?

I feel like that's been a trend for the past decade at this point. I don't think this one is particularly egregious but it ain't great either.

Could be your monitor as well.

I'd say it's medium gray on white, which is not too bad in my subjective opinion. I have seen far worse. Light gray on white was "trendy" for a while and dark gray or dark green on black has always been popular among the edgy crowd.

Also the typeface, kerning and line heights are a bit - unconventional, which doesn't help the readability

On the value and valuation of Gold prices over the last 50 years - from, arguably, the giant of Valuation

Kudos on the launch.

This would be useful for somebody like me (254 GB out of 256 GB used!)

Would love to hear more about how the on-device AI model works... What is it? What does it look for ? how does it score? How does the user specify which are "similar photos to look at" ? etc etc .

Thanks

Thanks! So yeah its all on-device using Apples Vision framework. I use feature prints and embeddings + face counts + person counts + a few other properties to cluster similar photos, then score each one based on sharpness, exposure, face clarity, composition, emotional score, and Apple’s aesthetic score. Each of those is weighted a bit differently.

You don’t need to define “similar” yourself, you select i.e. 100 photos from your library, then it figures that out the groups by itself, and there’s the review screen so you can confirm the decisions made before deleting anything.
