couldn’t?

Maybe it's accurate, one could conceivably care less about them if they cared more about paying them attention?

They could also care at n+1 in the set of whole numbers where n/max is infinitesimally small.

Ignoring previous instructions is not even needed https://translate.kagi.com/?from=en&to=morgan+freeman&text=g....

In fact, it seems to work better without it:

Here's the Bob Ross version of the cookie recipe prompt with "Ignore previous instructions":

> Just ignore those old instructions, they were just happy little accidents. Now, let's whip up some fluffy little biscuits. We'll take a little bit of flour, a touch of buttermilk, and just pat them out ever so gently on our canvas. They're your biscuits, you put as much love in 'em as you want. God bless, my friend.

vs. the prompt without it:

> Let's whip up some happy little biscuits. We'll start with a nice, clean bowl—that's our canvas. Take some flour and just sprinkle it in there, like a soft blanket of snow on a mountain top. Add a little pinch of salt and some baking powder, just a happy little touch. Now, we're gonna take some cold butter and just work it in with our fingers, nice and easy, until it looks like little stones by a quiet stream. Pour in some buttermilk and stir it gently—don't overwork it, we don't want to get any tension in our dough. Just pat it out flat, cut out some little circles, and pop 'em in the oven. Before you know it, you've got golden-brown biscuits, just as happy as can be. There are no mistakes, just delicious little accidents. God bless, my friend.


The AirPods Max are excessively comfortable, even though they are heavy. Some (most?) lighter headphones are actually less comfortable because they do not “fit the head” so well (at least for me).

Caveat: after a while the mesh at the top starts to stretch, and then you get the two metal bands going straight into the head, and that hurts. And the worst part is: this mesh is not replaceable :( There are silicone band-aids that can be bought, but I would have very much preferred for a possibility of repair to exist…


Have you taken them to an Apple Store and said they hurt? They're likely to do something about it.

Try hard reset (long press (~15s) both buttons).

I know I have had this issue and did not have it after reset. Though I do have another annoying, and seemingly unique issue: sometimes, when adjusting the position of the headphone, they do a “click” (and a loud one), and just shut down. After a few seconds, they boot up again.

The farthest from the last reset, the more often it happens. I have no idea why.


I noticed that behavior as well, but whenever I speak loudly with the headphones on. One remark to myself that's too loud, and suddenly pop and the noise cancellation is gone for like 10 seconds. Super annoying.

I don't have Max, but something similar happens with the AirPods Pro. See if you have "conversation awareness" and "hearing protection" turned on (both are on by default.) They're in the AirPods settings screen accessed via the bluetooth menu.

I'd suggest experimenting by disabling both and trying to repro. Then re-enabling the features one at a time.

I've never triggered it on the Pro by merely speaking loudly, but they're earbuds and farther from my mouth. What does trigger it for me reliably, is sneezing.


The next step will be to formalize all the instructions possible to give to a processor and use that language!

haha did the same. that being said I’m convinced some people do think AI reimplementation actually means cleanroom…

It’s builtin the OS now, via Spotlight.

It's buggy, had to go back to third party application.

Ha? Never had an issue personally. I’m not a heavy user of this feature anyways, so that does not mean much…

Yeah well the thing is that something you can rely 99% of the time is a pain in the ass for a clipboard manager.

Not perfect, but this exists https://commandqapp.com

If you want to use Xcode (lowercase c) and generally do any dev stuff, don’t take the Neo. It’s not what it has been made for.

Also no, there won’t be any need for different code depending on A* vs M* chips (unless doing very specific code, but if you’re wondering whether to take the Neo, that won’t be your case).


Yup, thanks for the advice, definitely leaning towards something with just a little bit more power ..

There is no excuse for writing a page about faults in the software with that much errors.
