Dynamoose Live Coding Stream - Vector Search 🔴 www.youtube.com/live/dkV5GVjsQBE

Charlie Fish @charlie.fish · 31/08/2026

I've never done a live coding stream before, so I'm really excited to hang out, chat with you all, and build this feature together!

Charlie Fish @charlie.fish · 31/08/2026

I’ll be hosting a live coding stream this Wednesday at 3pm Eastern / noon Pacific! We’ll be implementing AWS DynamoDB’s new vector search feature in Dynamoose. youtube.com/live/dkV5GVj...

Open weight #AI models are critical to the future of innovation. As efficiency and cost become the next major battlegrounds in the AI race, the #US must invest more in open models and the infrastructure needed to build and run them.

#Kimi K3 is #1 on the arena.ai webdev leaderboard. #AI

Screenshot of the Code Arena WebDev leaderboard dated July 16, 2026. Kimi K3 ranks first with a score of 1679, followed by Claude Fable 5 at 1631 and GPT 5.6 Sol XHigh at 1618. The table also lists vote counts, API pricing, context windows, and several other top models, including GLM 5.2, Claude Opus 4.8 Thinking, and Grok 4.5.

The #Siri app #UI is awful. Who thought using tiles for the conversations list was a good idea? #WWDC #Apple

I really hope #Apple fixed the spell check on #macOS this year. The amount of times I have to copy a word, paste it into my search engine as a spell check is insane. If they fixed that, that is a huge win for me. #WWDC

Apple's one device that is 100% dedicated to #Siri didn't get a single mention today: the #HomePod. #WWDC #Apple

Charlie Fish @charlie.fish · 03/05/2026

#Apple should completely rebrand #Siri when they add Apple Intelligence capabilities to it. The Siri brand has so much negative baggage that carrying that brand into their most significant voice assistant update ever won't be a good idea.

It's truly unbelievable how buggy #iOS 26 is. Live Activities are broken. Apple Home is broken. App icons are broken. iMessage is broken. Liquid Glass is 🤷🏻‍♂️. Widgets are broken. Basically nothing is stable in this release. #Apple

This is incorrect. WhatsApp is also a supported app.

iPhone screen showing the “Satellite Data Usage” settings page. At the top, a toggle labeled “Satellite” is switched on, allowing the device to connect to a satellite network. Below, under “Satellite Usage,” there are two tabs: “This Billing Period” (selected) and “Last Billing Period.” A list of apps appears with toggles to allow or restrict their satellite data use. Compass, Fitness, Maps, Music, and Weather are enabled, while WhatsApp is disabled. System Services and Uninstalled Apps are also listed, with System Services not having a toggle. A search bar is shown at the bottom of the screen.

Six iPhone apps now supported
The slow data speed means that it is only suitable for a relatively small number of apps, but the company has promised to continue expanding those supported. As of today, six iOS apps are able to work via satellite:
Apple Compass
Apple Fitness
Apple Maps
Apple Messages
Apple Music
Apple Weather

I'm still skeptical about this feature. I'm not sure it's going to work well in practice. The idea is sound, but there are already problems with call center representatives hanging up on customers too often. Won't this just make that problem worse? (4/4)

010

Charlie Fish @charlie.fish · 16/09/2025

The time between the call center representative stopping talking and the pre-recorded message about notifying the caller is significant in my opinion. (3/4)

100

Charlie Fish @charlie.fish · 16/09/2025

When the call is no longer on hold, it is just silence, and when the call center representative says something, that clip gets transcribed, and they will hear a message that says “This message has been transcribed. One moment while I notify the caller.” Then it is silence. (2/4)

After asking it to add debug logs and reproducing it, it solved it instantly. If AI coding isn't working for you, take a step back and ask yourself: what context is the AI missing to solve this?

000

Charlie Fish @charlie.fish · 18/07/2025

My use case: I was trying to work with this intermittent issue that wasn't possible (or easy) to reproduce in an integration test. The AI kept making changes that just weren't correct and weren't solving the problem. Even with high thinking mode.

100

Charlie Fish @charlie.fish · 18/07/2025

Pro #AI #Coding Tip: Describe the bug you're trying to solve, ask AI to add extra debug logs to help it troubleshoot, then tell the AI you will reproduce the issue and share the logs with it to help it solve the bug.

Even tho I'm a huge #Apple fan. This is one of the most disappointing #WWDC events I can remember.

AI coding agents (GitHub Copilot Coding Agent, Codex, etc.) seem really bad at formatting code. It's the spaces vs tabs debate, remixed for the AI era.

010

Charlie Fish @charlie.fish · 22/05/2025

TIL: You can right click (or press and hold on mobile) the copy button in ChatGPT and "Copy as Markdown". Why don't all AI clients do this?

After reading all the news about #OpenAI's new 4.1 model, I still don't understand why its API is only.

The #iMessage #spam has really gotten out of control recently. Surprised that no one is talking about this more. #Apple #iPhone

In this age of online scams and impersonation accounts being so common, you should really do more to cross-verify this with official sources. (2/2)

Charlie Fish @charlie.fish · 26/02/2025

This account has zero trust at this point. It's not linked on the DPD website. There seemingly haven't been any press releases about this new account. The only evidence we have is this account telling us that it's official. Any fraudulent account can say that. (1/2)

And they already fixed it.

#Google just changed their #Map to say “Gulf of #America". However, if you continue to zoom in, the name changes back to "Gulf of #Mexico”. Clearly they rushed QA on this one. #GoogleMaps

The first time I've personally seen #Apple Intelligence inaccuracies in news content. Just to set the record straight: #TikTok ban was NOT ruled unconstitutional. #AI #AppleIntelligence

Image of a stack of notifications on iOS with the Apple Intelligence summary of:

Biden issued executive order to bolster cybersecurity; hackers exposed AT&T customers; TikTok ban ruled unconstitutional.

A list of notifications from WIRED in the Apple News app on iOS:

- The US Supreme Court has just ruled that TikTok can be banned this Sunday
- Hackers exposed "nearly all" AT&T customers—potentially compromising FBI informants
- US president Joe Biden just issued a 40-page executive order that aims to bolster federal cybersecurity protections and direct government use of Al
- Crypto execs funneled millions in donations to swing the election. Here's how Trump's "crypto cabinet" could shape the next four years

- Finally for the #datascientist experts out there. I have released a complete dataset of raw #FAA XML (& JSON) data on Hugging Face that #AirportStatusBot has collected so far. If you use this data for any type of #data #analysis or #AI and/or #ML projects I would love to hear about it! 🧵(3/)

For #AI applications that allow multiple model selection, I wish they'd offer functionality to run a query on multiple models so you can compare and contrast the results to determine which is best for the given use case. I never know which AI model to pick anymore. 😅

Charlie Fish @charlie.fish · 18/12/2024

💯. Honestly once you use Copilot, there is no going back. That is how amazing it is. It's hands down the best AI product today. Our industry has a long way to go in terms of integrating AI into useful products, but GitHub Copilot is already there.

130

Charlie Fish @charlie.fish · 18/12/2024

No problem at all! I pay for GitHub Copilot anyway, so not applicable to me. But I was just talking with someone yesterday about Copilot in Xcode and they were asking if Copilot had a free tier 😂. 1 day later, it does. 🎉

Charlie Fish @charlie.fish · 18/12/2024

Oh I JUST saw this. "Copilot Free includes the following features: Code completion in Visual Studio Code,[...] Xcode [...]". Is that documentation incorrect then? docs.github.com/en/copilot/m...

Does this work with the Copilot for Xcode extension too? Or is it specific to VS Code?
