The second image in the carousel (well, video, really) hides the camera bump. This seems highly disingenuous of Apple.

The article is well-written and well-informed, but it's hard to really see the impact of AI just by looking at the data. Even the author attributes most of the job losses to factors other than AI, and even when AI use in the industry is clearly discussed, it's hard to draw any clear connection to job losses.

Maybe we haven't had enough time to see the full impact, but right now, most job losses seem to be attributable to shifting consumption habits and a supply of content (both professional and amateur) that vastly outweighs demand.

Singing is about so much more than just hitting the right notes. Breath management is one of the most important skills you can develop to improve your singing. Proper vocal technique helps you avoid injuring your voice when tackling difficult songs. Learning to recognize and use techniques like belting, twang, head voice, chest voice, vocal fry, etc., can really bring your singing to life. Prosody and rhythm training help you develop good timing (one of the most important aspects of music), and there's so much more to it.

This kind of app is great for getting started and getting a taste of what singing involves, but it would be awesome to cover these other aspects as well, or at least mention their existence for aspiring singers.

What I find personally funny is the amount of bashing Microsoft gets for being hostile to privacy, yet when Apple or some other company tries to make a push forward, they get bad comments because of a side effect of it Yes, this could probably be better, but practically no security improvement can be achieve without a tradeoff. As mentionned in the blog post, this user is a power user, with many programs installed and these popups appears only one time. Spending at most 10 minutes accepting/denying permission prompts (which, let's be honest, are pretty concise and clearly worded) is a good tradeoff for more control on what applications are doing on my system.

Not specific to software engineering, but there's a very interesting book about logical fallacies and the tricks that our brain play on us, Thinking: Fast and Slow, by nobel prize winner Daniel Kahneman
