Last Notes
The #iMessage #spam has really gotten out of control recently. Surprised that no one is talking about this more. #Apple #iPhone
I have just pushed some major updates to @npub1nzr…36v5
- Dedicated accounts for #airports. You can now follow an account and only see posts for that specific airport.
- Updated #airport #delay information will now be posted as a reply to the original post.
- Certain airport #closures will now be posted.
- Finally for the #datascientist experts out there. I have released a complete dataset of raw #FAA XML data on Hugging Face that #AirportStatusBot has collected so far. If you use this data for any type of #data #analysis or #AI and/or #ML projects I would love to hear about it!
Safe travels this #holiday season. ✈️🎄
I just wish #Apple Intelligence would automatically filter out all political spam text messages.
PoW WoW v0.1 is out!
It is a distributed marketplace for event PoW.
Anyone can be a client, offering to buy PoW for their event. And anyone can be a provider, selling hashrate.
A reputation system based on past trade behavior punishes dishonest clients or providers. For example, a client who creates requests but doesn't pay gets a bad reputation. Similarly, a provider who delivers a blinded solution which, after payment and unblinding, turns out to have less bits of PoW than asked by the client, also gets a negative reputation.
There are 3 clients available: WASM, CLI, and a Gossip fork. A CLI provider is available for those who want to try out mining.

I'm super excited to announce my latest #iPhone #application that I built. It's called #Echo for #Lemmy. It is an application for #Lemmy, which is a #decentralized social network for posting news, questions, and much more. It is very similar to #Reddit, but much more open and community-driven. Check it out today! #fediverse #activitypub #ios

And just like that, the rate of inflation for #Bitcoin was just cut in half. #BitcoinHalving
For #AI applications that allow multiple model selection, I wish they'd offer functionality to run a query on multiple models so you can compare and contrast the results to determine which is best for the given use case. I never know which AI model to pick anymore. 😅
Even tho I'm a huge #Apple fan. This is one of the most disappointing #WWDC events I can remember.
When I have to contact your support team about issues despite your status page indicating everything is working, and then your status page suddenly updates to reflect the issue only after I've reached out, it means your status page absolutely worthless.
Pro #AI #Coding Tip: Describe the bug you're trying to solve, ask AI to add extra debug logs to help it troubleshoot, then tell the AI you will reproduce the issue and share the logs with it to help it solve the bug.
My use case: I was trying to work with this intermittent issue that wasn't possible (or easy) to reproduce in an integration test. The AI kept making changes that just weren't correct and weren't solving the problem. Even with high thinking mode.
After asking it to add debug logs and reproducing it, it solved it instantly.
If AI coding isn't working for you, take a step back and ask yourself: what context is the AI missing to solve this?
So the latest #nostr #spam is a "dm-reporter" account. Do people really have nothing better to do than build these spam bots?
The collaborative nature of building on top of each other on #nostr is incredible. It's amazing to see how implementing one (relatively) simple NIP into @npub18m7…q955 unlocks a whole new world of ways for this platform to thrive.
I didn't realize that the Eve Energy outlets actually transmit energy consumption information via #Matter. Still converting more of them to Matter. But decided to take the leap to using Matter beta in #HomeAssistant and the results are incredible for my Energy dashboard so far. #smarthome
AI coding agents (GitHub Copilot Coding Agent, Codex, etc.) seem really bad at formatting code. It's the spaces vs tabs debate, remixed for the AI era.
@npub1nzr…36v5 now supports direct messages! Message the bot and ask it questions and it will reply with some useful information. This feature is in alpha, and still in active development. But wanted to ship it to get feedback.
On a more technical note, NIP-17 I couldn't get to work at all with it (only supports NIP-04). Asked in the #nostr telegram and didn't get any replies. If anyone wants to take a look and help debug, let me know. But I think #nostr is on track to fail miserably if developers can't even figure out how to use non-deprecated standards after spending days on it.
So happy that #Apple renewed For All Mankind for season 5 on Apple TV+! AND announced a spinoff show called 'Star City' today. #ForAllMankind
In what universe is @npub1sg6…f63m living in?!?! #Twitter or #X is NOT freedom tech. Maybe it used to be. But completely shutting down the API lost any sense of “freedom” it had.
Freedom is being able to use (or build) the client you want. Freedom is allowing you to view posts WITHOUT creating an account.
Inbox zero = achieved. Question is: will I be able to sustain it? 😂
GitHub Copilot coming to Xcode.
If Craig Wright truly is Satoshi, why doesn't he actually prove it? Shouldn't it be incredibly easy to sign & submit a transaction from one of the first wallets? What is even his reasoning for not providing concrete proof or evidence? #bitcoin
Saw a #Tesla #Cybertruck for the first time in person today. If you're wondering if it's as ugly in person as it is in the photos: it is.
Happy #Apple Event day!!! #AppleEvent
Sometimes making the wrong decision is better than making no decision.
Semantic Versioning is great for many things. Comparing versions is not one of them.
What is the suggested method for adding an image to a #nostr post? Just add an image URL to the end of the post content? Is it necessary to add any extra tags for this? If there is a NIP that someone could point me to for this, that would be great too. #asknostr
There is nothing #Apple can do/say to convince me to buy a new Apple Watch this year. I'll keep my existing watch with Blood Oxygen support. Crazy that Apple can't figure out the legal patent issues with it. #AppleEvent
Bi-yearly announcement: I'm not looking forward to the clocks changing tomorrow.
I wish #GitHub allowed for private comments. Way too often I subscribe to an issue only to later forget which one of my projects it was related to.
Most of the time associated types for enum cases in #Swift are not the right tool for the job.
This has to be one of the more baffling things I've run into during my days of iOS development. I never in a million years thought that increasing the cache size even more would work. But for some reason, it did. And I still don't understand why at all. #iosdev https://stackoverflow.com/q/79173983/894067
Why doesn't the #Apple #Notes app support #markdown?
We are entering one of the busiest #travel periods in the US. Follow my @npub1nzr…36v5 for up to date airport delay information.
Also, #Apple should really open source their documentation. I'm sure so many people (myself included) would be happy to contribute improvements. It would be game changing for the entire #iosdev ecosystem.
(I know there is probably a lot of behind the scenes tooling challenges in making this happen, but Apple really needs to prioritize it since they aren't prioritizing good documentation themselves).
TIL: You can bookmark a file or line of code in #Xcode. 🤯 Goodbye all of my random breakpoints that I used to set while traversing through the codebase; you won't be missed.
For #nostr #developers how do you decide which relay URL to use? I have a system that transmits notes to multiple relays, but for things like reposts (NIP-18) struggling to decide how to determine which relay URL to use for that.
Obviously choosing an unreliable relay or a relay that eventually goes offline isn't a good practice. And it doesn't look like there is a way to define multiple relay URLs.
What do you all do for this?
If you're working with the #Apple #Intelligence ImagePlaygrounds API and can't figure out why the `sourceImage` property isn't working, I spent a good part of today debugging this issue. I wrote a StackOverflow question describing my findings. #iosdev https://stackoverflow.com/q/79196270/894067
After upgrading to #iOS 17.3 my #iPhone froze after entering my passcode on first boot. After a little bit it went into a recovery screen and asked me to enter my passcode twice. Then launched an "Attempting Data Recovery" screen for a while.
Luckily everything (as far as I can tell) seems to be working, but still scary regardless.
I have backups and everything, but restoring from backup is always a stressful hassle.
Well that sucks... #Apple Developer app on Apple TV keeps crashing when trying to load Platform State of the Union stream. #WWDC #WWDC24
Well that is fun. #Cloudflare DNS seems to be extremely unstable right now. Ping to 1.1.1.1 fails for a bit then succeeds for a bit before failing again. Can ping other IPs just fine, and observed from 2 different internet connections.
As Elon #Musk just created a massive phishing nightmare, let's not forget the fact that X.com simply redirects to Twitter.com anyways. All he did is add latency and extra requests. There is a right way and a wrong way to do what he is trying to do. He is doing it the wrong way. #ElonMusk #Twitter

Just bought my #DeepDishSwift ticket!! #ios #iosdev
Just pushed a major update to @npub1nzr…36v5 vastly improving the logic for determining the reasons behind delays. This should lead to more detailed and accurate delay explanations. Additionally, many infrequent airport delay reasons have been added.
There is still more work to be done, but this is meaningful progress towards increasing delay transparency for travelers.
Can you seriously not use a #SwiftUI ForEach with a Set?!?! You truly have to convert your Set to an Array? Like why??? #iOSDev #Swift
Does #NDK support NIP-17? Trying to send an encrypted direct message to a user, but not seeing any documentation for it. #nostr #asknostr
TIL: You can right click (or press and hold on mobile) the copy button in ChatGPT and "Copy as Markdown". Why don't all AI clients do this?
What is the best web client for #nostr? #asknostr
I'm officially setting up my own #Bitcoin Node. We'll see how this goes. Currently 11.49% synchronized.
So this is what people thought #Y2K was going to be like. #CrowdStrike #Outage #IT
