Fellow photo nerds, I’ve partnered with dear friends @rianjohnson and Eric Cameron to make a bespoke iPhone still camera app: Chromagraph Camera. It’s the camera we wanted for ourselves and we’re making it available for purchase on the App Store. apps.apple.com/app/apple-sto…

Hey @grok find me a cheap display on Amazon, and then build a custom OS I can run on it that does the same thing as these displays without the bloat and ads
Our Echo Show 16 is our most advanced, versatile smart display yet. It has a 40% thinner frame and a completely redesigned 16-inch screen that’s twice as vibrant.
It can transform into a full-time smart home display, a home organizer, or photo frame, and it has Fire TV built in.
It’s also available in our Nanomatte display that cuts glare while preserving detail and color.
All the details here: aboutamazon.com/news/devices…

Using the right words can drastically improve the results you get from your agents, which is why I built a vocabulary of 244 terms for aiforui.dev.
If a term is used in a lesson, it gets a dotted underline. You can hover to see its definition or click to see a demo.

So I recently badgered my cinematographer @steveyedlin into making my ideal iPhone still camera app. It shoots RAW, bypasses the iPhone's look processing and instead uses the same image processing we use on our movies. apps.apple.com/app/apple-sto…

Peter Thiel might be onto something here…
aleximas.substack.com/p/what…
FWIW I think he’s missing important dimensions like desire for human connection, empathy, shared understanding, which will be important for the future of jobs in healthcare, education, etc.
Walter Isaacson asks Peter Thiel what humans can uniquely do in the AI era.
Thiel: "We're very relational… these relational dimensions will become more important."
When knowledge is worth $0, the only career skills that matter:
- networking / social calibration
- persuasion (sales)
- curiosity (harnessing AI)
- taste (curation)
- storytelling
- grit
- golfing with clients (or equivalent)
We'll get so sick of a fake world that we'll go back to doing business like it's the 1800s. A handshake at the local saloon.

every product i use should just be a headless mcp, that feeds into an agent, where i never have to think about anything underneath.
except for our product, of course.
in our product, customers love the ui and love us very much.
we're special that way.

American glass. American metal. American silicon. American batteries. American workers. American everything.
BlueChip is the first American computer in decades. Don't let anyone lie to you and say it can't be done.
Designed in California. Built in America.

At Works In Progress we are always looking for new writers with smart, fresh takes the world needs to hear. Could you be one of them?
We publish longreads on tech, policy, economics, architecture, culture, and all sorts of things. If you write for us your work will be printed in our beautiful magazine, read by many of the world's most interesting people. We also pay well.
Here are some examples of the sort of articles we would love to commission:
- Why isn't there more semiconductor manufacturing in Silicon Valley?
- Fifteen years ago, CRISPR was an incredibly promising new medical technology. What has happened to all the CRISPR drugs?
- Japan was once the stock example of a low-fertility country, but it has staved off further decline as other East Asian countries have plummeted past it. How?
- Poland has had exceptional post-communism economic growth, and is on track to overtake Britain in wealth per capita in 2030. What caused the Polish economic miracle?
If you have an idea for something you think is the sort of thing we would publish - or the sort of thing we *should* be publishing - please get in touch, or send a pitch to [email protected].

Big news today from Apple: Keynote is getting an open, JSON-based file format (.keyx), plus a Python library to create Keynote files on any platform.
Pages, Numbers and Keynote files today are closed and hard to modify unless you use AppleScript (limited and old) or Shortcuts (a huge pain), so you can’t really use AI to make documents in those formats. This was a HUGE pain inside Apple as well as outside, and most tools worked around it by making a PowerPoint file and importing it into Keynote, which wasn’t perfect.
Creator Studio subscribers on the Mac also get MCP support in Keynote, Pages and Numbers, so you can bring your own AI agent to read, edit and automate all three. Both the new format and MCP support arrive in November.
Bringing an AI-friendly format to Keynote (and I assume Pages and Numbers soon after) is a big positive change.
Huge day for Creator Studio today.
Our new in-app assistants can help you get things done in record time. MCP allows you to bring your own agent if you want. And an open source format for Keynote (and Python library!) so you can create Keynote documents programmatically on any platform.
Super proud of the team. Hope you love it!

Bought a discontinued Meta Portal for $35, had Codex turn it into a Home Assistant dashboard kiosk with a custom MUNI tracker for my N Judah stop

Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of the internet-connected device fad. Want to have them talk via local network to an opensource model on a Mac mini? ok sure.
But a public internet connected TV, washer, dryer, oven, toaster? Uh... no. Time to put an end that nonsense.
WTF, $3000 Samsung TV has an always-on mic, automatic content recognition, geo tracking, network mapping, and ships your data to Samsung + 400 partners.
Bro Rooted a brand-new 2025 Samsung TV after noticing absurdly targeted ads.
Firmware was locked down, so zero-days it was.
Got a root shell.
then found: always-on voice service, ACR, geo, full telemetry pipeline, and four separate DRM systems.
This isn’t a bug, It’s the product bro.
