There are discussions of "associate membership" but since this is not a thing that exists yet speculation on the matter has ranged from "this is just an economic partnership" to "we are going to become de-facto EU members".

We'll see the details when this becomes a bit more concrete but I imagine it's mostly going to be an economic partnership via trade agreements, maybe aligning some regulations to facilitate trade, etc.

Prion diseases are one of the scarier things I've ever heard about. It is transmissible via fluids, but it can also just happen spontaneously in your body, and once that happens, it's basically a death sentence. There is so far still no cure.

If this works, this will be a game changer.

As soon as I saw that login was required, I closed the tab.

We are routinely implanting pacemakers in people's bodies. I don't think this is fundamentally different.

Battery tech used in these devices is most likely very different from consumer electronics and I assume they can't just catch fire inside your body.

There is a meaningful difference between a generic "load all flag values" call that is identical for all users and some actual telemetry which sends application context to the back-end.

You can have flags work in a pull fashion, though. At boot, and every 5 minutes, query an endpoint which returns flag values. You don't need the client to send any information about what the user is doing.

In Québec, obviously :D

I worked at the provincial government as an intern. We had those keyboards.

I'm willing to bet that more than 99% of the Canadian Multilingual CSA keyboards on PCs are used by public servants. There is another (French Canadian)layout that is much more common among consumers.

Of course, the Mac side is different, having somehow chosen to align with the (IMO superior) CSA layout.

They failed to come up with a strong selling point. Health is the big seller for Apple Watch. But AVP, at its price point, needs something better than "well you can watch movies on a big screen or work in a café while looking silly".

You can use the caffeinate command (CLI) to do that, IIRC.

I once tried using Gemini directly in Google Sheets to make a graph. I never managed to get it to do exactly what I wanted; after wasting way too much time on it I was able to fix the problem in a matter of seconds. It's fascinating because it is quite different from the situation in coding agents where they are in general really quick to read code and find issues/fixes.

- load-bearing

- smoking gun

- I found the seam

As is the entirety of using an LLM? If you want something deterministic and efficient you get the agent to write a script, verify it, then run it yourself.

OpenAPI already exists, you can serve it on an endpoint for tool descriptions. Why did we need MCP again?

I have a company-managed Apple account on my work iPhone and Mac. So I beg to differ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

It is quite nerfed compared to a normal Apple account - for example the App store is effectively disabled and you need some MDM to be able to install or update apps. But otherwise, it allows me to not use my personal Apple account which was the main objective.

Edit for precision: I don't work at Apple. My point is that it is possible - I guess Apple doesn't want to manage these accounts, but it is not for lack of technical feasibility.
