Amazing. I've long thought about doing this exact product, so glad you executed - I think it's a great idea. It looks like through shortcuts a user can likely interface with the Apple "focus" modes, which makes for an iOS like experience.

Of course should be baked into the OS itself... so does this need any permissions to work? I don't trust you enough to install it so that would be nice to be clear on.


Hey, Glad you liked it and share the same thought about this problem DockFlow doesn't need any special permission to work. When you install it, you will automatically have the option in the Apple Shortcuts app to integrate with it (like every other app that allows this type of integration, this is not permission-related). DockFlow works totally offline (except to validate the license key), and no data is sent to my server or a third-party server. Feel free to ask any questions about it. I will be glad to answer


Rule #11, and the general text there on idempotence was very interesting and I definitely learnt nicer ways of handling this, thank you.


I followed your search instructions - and skimmed a few hundred of the 1 star reviews, the only 2 I could find that were positive are the ones you mentioned. So I'm not sure this is as much an issue as you indicate? That review saying "ADVERTISEMENT" is not because they are stating the review is an advert, it's because where they copy/pasted it from includes the alt text of an advert.


Not sure. I noticed this problem weeks ago. Back then those two were the top results if you filtered for 1 star reviews, so it was really noticeable. I didn't do an in depth investigation though.


I don't have an iPad, but assistive touch might help your grandparents.


I'm visiting NYC for the first time in May - first thing I researched was pizza, so really appreciate this work. Thank you.


What's great about pizza in New York is the spontaneity. After a night out there will always be somewhere nearby with a pretty good slice of pizza. The best pizza I had while living in New York isn't any better than the best pizza I've had in Seattle but the average slice was much better.


There's so so many places honestly. I could rhyme off a half dozen more on this list that some new yorker would say is "the best".

But coming from out of town your expectations are probably sky high. If pizza is high on your list, go for gold. It's a fun thing to do in the city. Also you need to treat both categories separately - slice, and whole pie. different game.


Python: Talk Python To Me, Python Bytes.

For ML, I'd highly recommend Gradient Descent from Weights & Biases - Lucas is a fantastic host.


How do you intend to monetize your startup? If you're planning on advertising, do you expect to pay the people you are cloning?


We will never use any cloned voice in any commercial way without consent and compensation, we only wanted to show the community what is possible and what generative AI models can do.


Aren't you using the cloned voices to generate marketing material for your company to make profit? Indirectly profiting without consent or compensation seems like a difficult ethical line. It also seems like something you want to have a very good stance on when a law could be passed that completely shuts down your ability to operate.


It’s a beta, this is not shocking in any era of Apple, just access and expectations have jumped ahead.


Software bugs notwithstanding, the actual design choices made in the settings menu are baffling.

Having items needlessly nested under modals/popups is a design choice and the complaints have little to do with the fact that the beta is buggy.


As a user of macOS betas for many, many years, this amount of visual issues this close to release date is pretty novel.

I have little faith this will be addressed in the scant time left before a GM release


That's remarkable to me - I feel like my internet life hasn't been so sheltered not to come across this before, but it also feels so obvious in retrospect. Do share some examples if you don't mind.


The two I had in mind are meteorological websites. One I use for rain radar images, the other for hour-by-hour wind speeds.

But here's two more easy examples, InterNIC and NetBSD.

https://192.0.32.9

https://192.0.32.9/domain/root.zone

https://199.233.217.201/pub/

There are undoubtedly many, many more examples across the internet. FTP servers, along with HTTP mirrors of those FTP servers are some obvious examples where hostnames are often not required.

There seems to a web developer-driven, cargo cult mentality against use of IP addresses, but AFAICT search engines do not try to hide IP addresses; I sometimes get them in SERPS.

Historically IP addresses were supported in smtpd software, too. For example, qmail still supports IP addresses, if enclosed in brackets.


MacBook 12 inch 2015 is no longer supported. Disappointing, it would probably run fine on mine.


I see their logic -- that was a famously underpowered computer (but delightfully compact). The same-year MacBook Air[1] blows its specs away, for instance.
