Maybe they want to hedge their bets. Looking at isaiprofitable.com makes it appear that OpenAI and Anthropic can only account for a minor part of Nvidia’s AI revenue.

If those models are optimised for inference speed on Nvidia hardware, then there’s potentialmoney in there for them.

Haven't been keeping up much with #WWDC build-up so far, but are there no one-on-one virtual tech labs this year? That was the best part. What a bummer.

Thank you. I made that tweak in the C app to cache them on disk. Can't entirely avoid RAM as they are received by an HTTP call and not known in advance. Everything's working well now through C though. Can't wait for the physical watch to try it out.

Adrian Schönig @adrian.coffee · 27/02/2026

No, all dynamic. The app is exposing a little HTTP server and the watch is fetching them through that. They are about 4k in size and base64 encoded. When I got to integrating them via JS I got stock on 'Chunk allocation' crashes. Claude also tried many different things but couldn't get past it.

In anticipation of my Pebble Round 2, I made a retro watch face for Longplay. This is so much fun and makes me much more excited about it than my Apple Watch, which is just a workout tracker these days. May can't come soon enough.

Great rundown of music players for Linux. I'm still on macOS for my daily driver but Linux is tempting me more and more. I'll see where Apple is going with macOS 27. If I ever make the switch, I'll bring @longplay.rocks with me though :)

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

It's so quick to triggering specific albums quickly through Alfred, and Claude can be useful for organising my albums, like asking it to look at the albums that I haven't yet added to any collection and suggest which albums fit well into any of my collections, and then file those where I agree.

My favourite feature of bringing Longplay to the Mac is making it integrate and interoperate with other Mac tools. iOS has Shortcuts, which is great, but things go so much deeper on the Mac with AppleScript and now also #MCP.
