Fyi america.ca sounds terribly bad in French (an official language of your country).

In Dan Simmons' Hyperion, the characters have a device called comlog. It's a portable device which connects to a broad network. It also has the ability to read vital constants.

The author is quite vague about it, no doubt, and that's one of his staples. But he foresaw something human would carry to get connected to other humans and information.

(That book won the Hugo award in 1990)

Tbh, that article is not a take, rather an ad for Viva Tech and TechCrunch own tech gathering

Re:Bitrig (YC S25) – Build Swift Apps on Your iPhone on Thursday August 28, 2025 @06:10AM (#45050389)
Not GP but all I’m seeing is « contact us » which will open the Mail iOS app.

Since I don’t have that app on my phone I’m met with an error message and cannot know what address of yours I need to use to send a feedback.

Btw my feedback is that I tried to create an app which needs camera access. The prompt and code creation worked. However the app does nothing since I believe the permission for camera access are not handled on bitrig

Is the website dead?
> It’s an iPad tou can strap to your face

I disagree. It’s inventing new multi modality such as the pinch to select and the in-the-air drag and drop. This brings us a bit closer to Minority Report Tom Cruise magic.

No mention of it in the article, even though they wrote: > But it’s also why Cook’s Apple delivers fewer surprises. The delight is still there, but there’s less amazement.

The Vision Pro is literally mind blowing.

Just here to say I think modal is really cool. Keep up the good work!

It includes the non-subscription app usage.

Unblocking in your case it’s really easy and I would do it all the time. In this product, if I understand correctly, you leave the brick at home and can only be distracted outside of work hours (for instance)
Re:I accidentally built a meme search engine on Sunday April 14, 2024 @04:46AM (#40029706)
Thanks for Queryable, I use it quite often. As for Reddit meme finder, how do you deal with reddits sudden price increase for its api?

Also, I think you should use another icon from this app because it looks like a goofy side project. It probably is but people would probably not download iPhone apps if the icon doesn’t look professional. (My two cents)

How did you use copilot given that tvOS uses Xcode?
How do you generate these? It's not always bypassing anything for me...

I find passphrases to be better at tackling this exact scenario (and others). The password is long and secure but easy to type because it’s composed with actual English words.

I think your comment is pure hindsight. I don’t get how you’d tag the iPad as essential when we already had the iPhone?

You also seem to forget the huge success of not-so-essential AirPods and to a lesser extent, Apple Watches.

That’s one confusing URL.

Weird, I saw this article about Pitchfork being merged into GQ [0], which points to this stats page on Pitchfork [1] only to see Amon Tobin is one of the select few to receive a perfect 10 for Bricolage in 1997 to then having him reaching the front page of HN. All that in the span of 30 minutes.

This app is only available in the US. Any other similar app you’d recommend? Maybe one you tried before using copilot?
