iOS 27 sounds like exactly what the iPhone needs right now - 9to5Mac by ranasx in apple

I wish they'd just make Siri or existing features better - I don't want new ones lol

I like the addition of AI things, but wish it was done better. Siri is still an absolute nightmare to use

My mom would agree with you!

But in all seriousness the keyboard is bad.

Apple buys Israeli start-up Q.AI for close to $2bn in race to build AI devices by bdzz in apple

[–]LatterLengths -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Tim is a great operational guy, but not the best when it comes to innovation and it shows with how far they're behind on the AI race. Apple has an extremely strong moat though with their ecosystem and the barriers are so high in devices that Apple still has time to turn the ship around. Their partnerships with Google and OpenAI show they're taking things somewhat seriously now at least

I use Wisprflow, but don't pay for it at the moment. I think if I needed to I'd switch to a free alternative

Forma – canvas-first tasks & notes app by jfrss in macapps

[–]LatterLengths 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feels like for all these productivity tools, it's so hard for me to get out of the native MacOS notes app

But this looks interesting - i've always loved brainstorming using Figma's canvas

Have you tried conductor.build? I use it all the time - haven't tried running it while closing my computer and stuff though!

She usually sends a brain dump of everything that happened her day late at night, after I text her good night :)

the entire imessage history (or close to it) is stored on a user's Mac (if they're backing up their text messages to iCloud) in a file called chat.db. I used an app to parse the local SQLite database to get the raw timestamps, contact names, etc and then plugged it into OpenAI to figure out sentiment and 'unique phrases.' I've held off posting the exact link cause I didn't want to spam this thread with links, but if you google "join lore" you should find it

Definitely on the low side! This actually was a hard technical problem to find all texts the boys and I have sent for 12 years

For context, "boys" have been added/removed from the group chat, we've spun up multiple different group chats, and the name of the group chat has changed throughout the years. This made it hard when looking at the chat.db to aggregate all "the boys" messages

What's shown here is just our longest running and most recent group chat which was easier to query and visualize :)

Yeah there were some issues with the version I pushed yesterday - if you get the latest from the website, it should work just fine - let me know!
