I didn't update to MacOS 26 until 26.1. Upgraded today to find out that language switcher is still buggy. High quality software my ass...
Every san non-appstore app on mac: I'm running, let's use this time to download updates
MS Office on mac: it's my laptop now, go to setting and enable updater so I can run whenever I want, not whenever you want.

We’re releasing GPT-5-Codex — a version of GPT-5 further optimized for agentic coding in Codex.
Available in the Codex CLI, IDE Extension, web, mobile, and for code reviews in Github. openai.com/index/introducing…
What's the most automatic way to get audio from @PLAUDAI to my mac? I'm fine with programming something if it helps.
Does anyone at @YouTube understand that bilingual people exist?
Forced translation of perfectly clear titles into a garbled, nonsensical mess hints that the answer is "No".
I wish X had a 3 strikes feature. It would be for when someone posts cheap engagement bait, but you are not sure if it's bad enough to mute/block them yet.
The very first claim "find the exact questions" is impossible without insider info from Google or openai. It's not even "fake it till you make it" - it's just "fake it"

Congrats on the launch, @kvnchandra, @albertpurnama, and @michwirantono!
I'm hiring devs to get things done within a reasonable time. Be it coding manually, with ai, or praying gods that they send a scroll with code.
The main downside of the Eagle's Cross is that you need a dedicated garru for bolts. But I like its aesthetics a bit too much.
I always love an idea of simulated environments, e.g. NPCs with own history, motivations, schedules, etc. It seems that such ecosystems would create emergent gameplay. But it seems that from player's perspective it's little to no difference compared to dumb dolls having day/night cycles. Dwarf fortress is an exception, and rimworld to a lesser extent. I wonder if it'd be fun in any other game types.
I asked ChatGPT and Gemini to find me coffee along a route shared as a google maps link.
Gemini: "As an AI, I can't access external links like Google Maps."
ChatGPT: "I see your route is... For specialty coffee, you'll need a small detour, but here are options without one."
I would have expected it to be the opposite with Google's services.
I agree. But I've also seen hired devs who started using AI become slower. They just feel like they can do something good enough to not be fired in the last hour before the meeting.
I can now 2x as much as a team of 4 people did before AI.
I don't know; maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but I certainly have superpowers I never had before.
At any given day, I have:
1. A coding agent working through a backlog of tasks
2. A couple of open deep research sessions with @Abacus' DeepAgent
3. 4 different codebases loaded on @code + Copilot
4. Gemini CLI running in the background
5. A few other AI-backed tools that I use for different things.
None of this was real before. None of it existed or was possible.
Say whatever you want about the future of AI, but the present is mind-blowing.
