Could Apple or Google do this without updating their hardware? I see a relevant patent (US20220294640A1) and it looks like one of the inventors is at Google now.

Looks cool, congrats. I would offer to test but I don’t live in that area. How do you track predictions? How helpful was AI autocompletion for Swift and SwiftUI code?

Sorry what if the open source project made their CI/CD pipeline public? So users could exercise it, produce their own build, and then compare that to the notarized one? Would I then be able to verify that what I downloaded from the developer’s website is identical to what is built with the open source code? Just curious.

> Obsidian’s source code is closed

When I toggle developer mode (Command + Option + i on my mac) I see what appears to be the source code (it’s an Electron app). Maybe it’s not the full source though. And I guess it’s very difficult to read since it’s minified.

I wonder why Apple keeps niche Mac and iPad SKUs around though, like the iPad mini.
