I can help you find information, answer questions, and complete tasks across many apps on your Mac. However, I can’t analyze or summarize your past conversations with me.
💬 Siri
.. well thats not very useful is it?
I kinda like Galloway’s thinking, business analysis and his work around young men - BUT his style and side threads just leave me cold so the Kara and Scott show has taken a back seat .. well .. not so much a back seat .. as thrown out of the car.
Today I thought I might just check if I should go back for a while.
Also today was his first day back on the show after taking 4 weeks off.
Seriously❓and nobody told me?
Apple’s on device Foundation model accessed via Terminal is my new ‘safe place’
I asked:
who is the president of the United States?
I was told ‘Joe Biden’.
🏗️ The ‘Forty’ Template in Blot is very very opinionated. It provided a good foundation to my 🖇️ wiki - but ‘I’ have now over written so much of it that I am no longer sure that ‘using Forty’ is entirely accurate.
Big fan of Nilay’s podcast. Gave the latest ten minutes before I closed and deleted. I don’t always get to the end of his episodes but generally do get through the first 50%. A First.
GAH - not been adding ratings to the movie reviews. 🖇️ Fixed
🎥 Been a while since I have visited the Star Wars Universe - but I watched 🔗 The Mandalorian and Grogu last night … lovely.
★★★★
👁️ I just used Siri to create a new shortcut and 💥 - years of frustration out of the window.
🎥 Watched: 🔗 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.
★★★
📚 Seven Rules of Trust by Jimmy Wales and Dan Gardner is a book that I have just added to my ‘want to read’ list.
🔗 Futility Closet - An idler’s miscellany of compendious amusements
It was given to him deliberately to set the record
.. 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 🍎📺.
