macOS Tahoe has declared war on app icons with distinctive shapes.

No silhouettes. If your icon isn't a squircle, it will be shrunk to fit inside a default shape. The penalty box.

The loss of icon silhouettes is a big step down in usability. Erases decades of design guidelines.

Frankly it's senseless.

Insane but still working legacy workaround:

macOS isn't fun anymore.

-The Filevine team was responsive, professional, and took the findings seriously throughout the disclosure process. They acknowledged the severity, worked to remediate the issues, allowed responsible disclosure, and maintained clear communication. This is another great example of how organizations should handle security disclosures.

In the same tenure I think that a professional etical hacker or a curious fellow that is poking around with no harm intent, shouldn't disclose the name of the company that had a security issue if they resolve it professionally.

You can write the same blog post without mentioning that it was Filevine.

If they didn't take care of the incident that's a different story...

That's not how ethical disclosure works. Both parties should publish and we, the wider tech industry should see this as a good thing both for the hacker and the company that worked with them.

Imho it just shows how relatively simple this technology really is, and nobody will have a moat. The bubble will pop.

Not exactly. Infra will win the race. In this aspect, Google is miles ahead of the competition. Their DC solutions scale very well. Their only risk is that the hardware and low level software stack is EXTREMELY custom. They don't even fully leverage OCP. Having said that, this has never been a major problem for Google over their 20+ years of moving away from OTS parts.

Was it Snow Crash or Diamond Age (or something earlier?) that had mushrooms as the basis for advanced technology? I'm curious if there was actual insight there or a happy coincidence.

Between all these recent gambling stories with coaches and players and the Kawhi thing I think I’m done with the NBA. The NBA’s gambling push has done nothing but gross me out. Greed unbridled. They saw the 1919 World Series and said “Let’s bet on this shit.”

It's been like that forever. Makes it very hard to take the NBA seriously.

The only real solution is strong privacy laws around gov usage and strong courts willing to enforce it. Expecting consumer choice or regulations to prevent that data from ever existing is mostly a fools errand IMO, there's just too much of it and it's everywhere.

I don't think this is a solution, personally.

There is no reason to use a synology device anymore with RPI’s having sata shields and other SoC boards that are readily available that run Linux. Yes, Synology was easy but so is the decision to not ever use them again…

Can a pi achieve the same iops? I'd be highly suspecious of any such claims.

I got into Cursor a little late, went really heavy on it, and see myself using it less and less as I go back to VSCode.

1) The most useful thing about Cursor was always state management of agent edits: Being able roll back to previous states after some edits with the click of a button, or reapply changes, and preview edits, etc. But weirdly, it seems like they never recognized this differentiator, and indeed it remains a bit buggy, and some crucial things (like mass-reapply after a rollback) never got implemented.

2) Adding autocomplete to the prompt box gives me suspicion they somehow still do not understand best practices in using AI to write code. It is more crucial than ever to be clear in your mind what you want to do in a codebase, so that you can recognize when AI is deviating from that path. Giving the LLM more and earlier opportunities to create deviation is a terrible idea.

3) Claude Code was fine in CLI and has a nearly-identical extension pane now too. For the same price, I seem to get just as much usage, in addition to a Claude subscription.

I think Cursor will lose because models were never their advantage and they do not seem to really be thought leaders on LLM-driven software development.

VScode has a bit of a history now of quickly deprecating competitors who innovate in this space. It already has good options for code completion, AI chat bots, and more features on the horizon. I'm not sure what cursors moat is. Seems to me like Microsoft could easily implement any new feature cursor comes up with.

Wow. What an intelligent take. I would have never expected this from Ben Affleck. He seems extremely familiar with the technology and it's capabilities and limits.
