Finished watching: 🎥 Wildcat - better than expected and fun. It lost the plot in the final 15 to 20 minutes - but don’t they all? Definitely take a watch if you are looking and into the ‘all action’ genre.

.. doesn’t seem to be in the spirit?
Revisited this morning and Siri happily reduced the 30,000 into a more manageable set of docs that I was actually after.
In the 30,000 we found some 2,367 Markdown files that had meaningful information that MIGHT be useful in my newly emerging 🖇️wiki.
Analysis seemed out of Siri reach - so zipped it up and sent to ChatGPT.
The accompanying analysis now sits in the Obsidian Notes vault.
As highlighted:
The objective was not to tidy the Vault. It is to make the thinking inside it visible.

Claude will likely take over now.
🔗 Siri, not a companion, by design - Asymco
We’re building Siri not to be a companion. It was a very big deal. It’s an advisor, but not a companion. Siri is there as a concierge, a professional persona. It is not an amiable person, because they want to maintain an emotional distance. That was by design.
Have to say that’s what is particularly working for me. More on this later when I get round to it.

Lovely piece and with him all the way - even down to Football.

I bet there are a lot more people out there who would rather have a $2500 iPhone and a $700 MacBook Neo than who would want a $2500 MacBook Pro and a $700 iPhone.
Mr @Gruber is definitely not wrong. I do wish more people would remember the world isn’t just about them and what they want.
👁️Watching the 🍎show on YouTube seemed wrong .. so I didn’t. I used 🍎📺.
🖋️ Hi Claude. Have you met Siri?
Organizing a collection of nearly 30,000 Markdown notes locally in Obsidian, using Siri and Python scripts for assistance - working so far - like a charm.
🏗️ I am using Claude to co-build my Wiki and have now got a nice flow to it. Claude has access to a specific folder on my drive - we edit together and Claude does things like cleaning up my tags and other YAML - as well as pushing the local folder contents up to Git. Blot picks it up from there and pushes it out to 🖇️ https://wiki.philpin.com … like all good web properties it is an eternal WIP. Not ready from prime time - BUT as I say on the Wiki:
“we have leaned into the design philosophy of ‘build in public’ and not wait for perfect”
I also use the whole thing locally with Obsidian.
It will become an annual event.

It will be ‘OmNet’.
Apple could perhaps have made that distinction a little less archaeological.
.. absolutely they could .. thanks for your help ChatGPT.
🖋️ Stop Telling Us Why Not. Tell Us Why.
We keep learning that ‘against’ is insufficient .. we need to answer ‘for’.
Not an auspicious start. I wanted to test what Siri ‘knows’. To be fair, phone not finished indexing so maybe that is part of the challenge - coupled with the fact that The Overview isn’t his latest album, although his latest album isn’t fully released either so a little bit of a trick question.
👁️ I really do not like the new Safari icon.
👁️ ‘Flapping Shoe’ - great new name for POTUS 47 - so symbolic, and an honest representation of this once great nation.
