After watching Andrew Kelley's interview video makes me want to pick up Zig: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqddnwKF8HQ

I have a lot of respect for Andrew, and I really enjoy Zig, but God that interview was awful. Andrews answers were fine, but the whole thing felt very sycophantic.

I didn't get the same impression. I'm curious to know what created that feeling for you. Perhaps I'm turning a blind eye to something or other?

There's a lot of little things that just added up, but I think the clearest example was the exchange regarding Andrew's pay from the foundation. I don't have an issue with him being paid for the work, or the amount he's taking, I would be surprised if anyone really did, but the way the interview asked the question came off as "Oh you're only making x? You should be paid so much more", and Andrew even commented in it saying "...it sounds like you're implying I deserve more...". I'm of course paraphrasing, but that's the impression I walked away with.

The questions also had a tendency to be somewhat shallow. There were a lot of places where it felt like the interviewer was queuing Andrew to respond to criticism or explain controversial choices made for the language or tool chain, but the interviewer doesn't really follow up on them are point out what the issues might be.

It might have been expectations I guess. I was hoping for an interesting technical interview and instead it seemed like a fluff piece.


For Apple Mac, there is https://omlx.ai/benchmarks


You can't send an image for example from Claude iOS app to remote control session. With this new channels the attachment you send from Telegram bot is saved into your local Telegram inbox folder ready for you to process.


I believe its similar to PayNow Singapore, UPI India, PromptPay Thailand etc where you register your phone number with your bank app, you can send money to those mobile who are on the same network using your bank app, or use your bank's app to scan a QR when making payment to a vendor. The QR code is actually the vendor's number. There are now cross border link, for example I can send money to someone in India using just his mobile number on UPI.


I imagine in a few years our phone will become our AI assistant, locally and cloud powered, that understand us deeply. And Apple will release a human robot, loaded with the same intelligence in the phone to become our home assistant or companion. But first Apple needs to allow us to rename our phone agent/helper other than Siri.


Is there an AI agent that excels that translating UI codes between SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose and web?
