I do not think this is the right way. The right way would be for Apple to allow for a free Developer ID for distribution if the app is free and has no in-app purchases.

This provides IMO all-around goodwill while still adhering to good release practices.


Or maybe lower the price to $1.

_Some_ barrier of entry I think is needed (and intended) to stop everyone and their mother from creating developer accounts.

I don’t think Apple needs or cares about the $99


FWIW, first two sections worked for Chrome on Windows.


I wonder if this would port nicely over to rustybgp.


Saw this in an another thread previously and immediately installed it.

I have a new prompt to test LLMs much like simonw's pelican test.

"What is 9:30am Taiwan time in US, Pacific?" For some reason, the answers are quite inconsistent but all wrong.

  ./apfel "what is 9:30am Taiwan time in US, Pacific?"
  Taiwan is 12 hours ahead of the Pacific Time Zone. Therefore, 9:30 AM Taiwan time would be 9:30 PM Pacific Time.
  Taiwan is 13 hours ahead of the Pacific Time Zone. Therefore, 9:30 AM in Taiwan is 10:30 PM in the Pacific Time Zone.
  Taiwan is in the China Standard Time (CST) zone, which is 12 hours ahead of the Pacific Standard Time (PST) zone. Therefore, 9:30 AM in Taiwan is 9:30 PM in the Pacific.
  Taiwan is typically 11 hours ahead of the Pacific Time Zone. Therefore, 9:30 AM in Taiwan is 8:30 PM in the Pacific Time Zone.
  Taiwan is 13 hours ahead of the Pacific Time Zone. Therefore, 9:30 AM in Taiwan is 10:30 PM the previous day in the Pacific Time Zone.


What a neat LLM question! Most of my results were the same as what you posted except for the first time I asked it which resulted in this pretty interesting answer: Taiwan is in the Taiwan Standard Time (TST) zone, which is UTC+8, while the Pacific Time (PT) zone is UTC-7.

To convert 9:30 AM Taiwan time to Pacific Time:

1. Subtract 15 hours (since 8 hours ahead is 15 hours behind).

9:30 AM - 15 hours = 6:30 AM PT.

So, 9:30 AM Taiwan time is 6:30 AM Pacific Time.

Never thought to use an llm for time zone stuff. Seems like it struggles as much as a normal person, which makes some sense given what they're trained with.


One thing I discovered tonight is that it appears smaller models are remarkably bad at converting time between timezones.

I tested the following using almost all available models on Locally and did not get a single model that got the right answer.

"What is 9:30 am (Taiwan Standard Time, TST) in US Pacific?"


This is quite interesting. I wonder if AFM is smart enough to do spam classification.


I wonder if Comma.ai will ever be open to incorporating this into openpilot.

I always thought the argument that humans are adequate drivers and hence only cameras was not great. Why not actually be better than humans at sensing and driving?


It appears that Gurman has been the one pumping the timeline. He's now clarified that Apple has only ever said 2026 with nothing beyond that.


You can use one of these to act as a local personal WWVB station amongst other things.

Very neat project! Is it yours?


Nope but a cool project nonetheless


Quite, I love the esthetic of the watch stand. The exposed lacquered wire makes it look really exotic, and in general the execution is top notch. It is really tempting to throw stuff like this together and call it a day when it works (that's more my style...), so I have a lot of respect for people that can finish these things to the point where they not only work but also look good.
