Initial iPhone Duo score: 9/10

Why? Same reason Gruber and Nilay are slagging on it:

1. It's an iPad mini you can carry everywhere
2. It eliminates any need to carry an iPhone

I have wanted to go iPhone-free for a decade. Calling it the worst iPhone but best iPad is awesome!

The most significant update to the iPhone transfer Ice Pack since the original. Allow me to introduce Ice Pack Duo.

It took time remaining from 50 minutes to 5 minutes within seconds.

I hate when iOS apps offer a Face ID checkbox at login, because it can mean two wildly different things:

• Force authentication every time you open the app
• Skip password authentication in the future

One costs you time, one saves you time. You don't get to know which

Yes, Claude Duet is a clone of Dots and Muse which are clones of OpenClaw. Everyone copied Jev, too. The takeaway isn't that there's "no moat" anymore—it's that it's probably a waste of your time to build general-purpose tools claude.com/resources/articles/claude-duet

On one hand, I'm glad that this fleet of agents is finally taking full advantage of the resources on my Ultra-class Mac Studio.

On the other hand, I'm a little annoyed that redlining macOS in ways that manual human activity never could (24/7 sustained memory, disk, and CPU pressure) results in kernel panics and data loss as often as it does.

Recursive code review:

1. Orchestrator assigns implementer subagent
2. Reviewer subagent hunts for bugs
3. Orchestrator vets findings; implementer fixes real ones
4. Repeat 2–3 until no valid findings remain

Typically takes 2–8 rounds.

Just filled my car with gas for the first time since February or March, and it cost $4.22 a gallon

Then sent a single document to Japan via FedEx, and they charged me over $100 for the cheapest/slowest rate—almost half of which was fuel surcharges.

Very cool and totally normal.

A lot is riding on local models becoming "good enough" for agentic coding workflows.

The fact I've gone from "I only trust Fable and Astra" to "Opus 5.5 is just as good as either" to "Sonnet 5.5 is basically good enough" in less than a month is augurs well for future local LLMs

Over a year ago, I stopped reading code and started automating adversarial agents to perform recursive code reviews instead.

The result: low-defect systems that do what I want. Can't believe anyone engaging seriously with these tools still believes human code review is superior

Don't sleep on Sonnet 5.5, I pushed four extremely ambitious features across several iOS apps today with Opus 5.5 dispatching a gob-smacking number of Sonnet agents and still haven't hit 20% of my weekly cap in about 9 hours of wall time. Features turned out great. Impressed.
