These past few days, well not exactly, due to the recent WWDC event, Apple has been the subject of online discussions about where their AI features actually stand. While other companies are diving into bringing AI to their devices and software, Apple seems to be... not too concerned.

Recently, Apple's researchers suggested that LLM models will "completely collapse in accuracy" when faced with extremely complex problems. By pointing out that reasoning is merely an illusion, many rebuttals to this research emerged immediately. Once again, it raises the question of what Apple is truly thinking regarding AI on their devices.

I think it's quite simple, Apple seems to be struggling with creating AI for themselves. That is, they are facing difficulties right from the data collection stage for training. They always appear to respect user privacy, so would they really go online to scrape data from everywhere, or "steal" data from users' devices? Surely, they wouldn't want to provide more user data to third parties like OpenAI.

However, perhaps these challenges will lead them to discover a new direction. If everyone chooses the easy path, who will share the hardships? 😁. Oh, I'm not an "Apple fan," I just use what suits me 🤓.

A "sensitive" person to markdown is someone who jumps right in to see what's new when they come across a library that creates a new editor. Milkdown/milkdown is one example.

Taking a look, it seems quite good, everyone. I might try integrating it into opennotas to see how it goes. It's supposed to be a note-taking application that supports markdown, but the library tiptap doesn't seem to want to add markdown support 😩. Using an external library isn't quite satisfactory yet.

Everyone using Cloudflare Worker to call OpenAI's API should be careful, I've encountered the error unsupported_country_region_territory these past few days. It's likely that the Worker server is calling from a region that OpenAI does not support.

It's strange because this error has only occurred recently 🤔

A few days ago, Apple introduced a container tool developed by themselves and open-sourced as apple/container. It is used to create and run Linux containers as lightweight virtual machines on Mac, optimized for the Silicon chip line. Does that sound familiar? Kind of like Docker, right? 😄

Docker on Mac needs to run a Linux virtual machine to use containers, and now with Apple introducing this, maybe Docker will see an update soon. We don’t know how the performance will be yet; we’ll have to wait for evaluations from experts. It’s neither Go, nor Rust, nor C... apple/container is written in... Swift. Wow, that’s quite astonishing. 😳

Before, I mentioned that github/gh-copilot is a command-line tool that suggests commands or explains them. While browsing through some "comments," I discovered a rather interesting way of using it that I hadn't expected. That is to set an alias for the command gh copilot suggest as "??" and "???" and then, after getting used to it, it becomes extremely convenient. For example, if you want to compress a directory into a tar.gz format but forget the syntax, you can simply do: bash $ ?? "compress the pages directory into .tar.gz" Or if you encounter a command that is hard to understand, you can use: bash $ ??? "tar -xzvf pages.tar.gz pages"

A very nice website that aggregates CLI command line tools that I stumbled upon: terminaltrove.com

It has a ranking system and is categorized, making it very easy to explore by topics that interest you, feel free to study it 😄

These past few days, I've been redesigning the interface for the note-taking app OpenNotas. It's quite strange to think about why I chose DaisyUI back then 😩

Previously, there was a mention of openai/codex - a type of agent that runs conveniently in the Terminal from OpenAI, especially since it is open source and they have now added support for other providers instead of just using the chatgpt model as before.

Recently, Anthropic also introduced Claude Code which is quite similar to Codex, except it is not open source and you are required to use their API. Since I don't have money to experiment, I've only heard that people in the programming community praise it a lot, and it might even be better than Cursor. On the flip side, there's the risk of burning a hole in your wallet at any moment 😨

For a long time, I have been thinking about how to increase brand presence, as well as users for the blog. After much contemplation, it seems the only way is to share on social media or hope they seek it out, until...

Wearing this shirt means no more worries about traffic jams, the more crowded it gets, the more fun it is because hundreds of eyes are watching 🤓

(It really works, you know 🤭)

A cycle of developing many projects is quite interesting. Summarized in 3 steps: See something complex -> Simplify it -> Add features until it becomes complex again... -> Back to a new loop.

Why is that? Let me give you 2 examples to illustrate.

Markdown was created with the aim of producing a plain text format that is "easy to write, easy to read, and easy to convert into something like HTML." At that time, no one had the patience to sit and write while also adding formatting for how the text displayed on the web. Yet now, people are "stuffing" or creating variations based on markdown to add so many new formats that… they can’t even remember all the syntax.

React is also an example. Since the time of PHP, there has been a desire to create something that clearly separates the user interface from the core logic processing of applications into two distinct parts for better readability and writing. The result is that UI/UX libraries have developed very robustly, providing excellent user interaction, while the application logic resides on a separate server. The duo of Front-end and Back-end emerged from this, with the indispensable REST API waiter. Yet now, React doesn’t look much different from PHP, leading to Vue, Svelte... all converging back to a single point.

However, the loop is not bad; on the contrary, this loop is more about evolution than "regression." Sometimes, it creates something good from something old, and people rely on that goodness to continue the loop. In other words, it’s about distilling the essence little by little 😁
