Oddbean new post about login | logout #iOS18 Beta 5 is out. And it is FAST.
I moved to beta 18.1. The Siri shit is actually useful/cool.
Agreed. I’ve used it on my Mac and I like it.
I like LLMs and I cannot lie 😅
Once I learned what they were really good at, and what they sucked at, I do too.
They don't have our goals and they are embodied solely within a universe of statistically related characters. With that, I'm quite forgiving with my expectations. Even so, ClaudeAI continues to surprise me.
I use SuperMaven for code, and Gemini Advanced for my docs. Haven’t tried Claude yet, but I’ve heard really good things. Gemini is surprisingly good at anything to do with documents and writing. I love asking it about docs in my drive. Very good at making docs queryable.
I think my favorite part is how she doesn’t botch stuff when I stutter. Like setting a reminder earlier. I stuttered twice and she nicely ignored me and edited it out. Very very big improvement. Email summaries are nice too. Haven’t used the writing stuff a lot yet.
Yeah lots to explore. I didn’t try the mail summaries yet. I’ve been using the writing tools the most.
