I imagine this depends on the platform to some degree, but I have an question: Is the home timeline chronological on post publish or when your instance becomes aware of the post?

For context, @posts sometimes publishes a post with a publish time well in the past, for instance right now the most recent post delivered to followers (delivered just now) has a publish time which was 18 hours ago. Does this show up in your feed now, or never get seen because the feed files it away chronologically with all the other 18 hour ago posts?

When I was a kid, I couldn't wait to be an adult because I imagined that adulthood would be a time when no one would interrupt me when I was trying to read.

If I could go back in time, I would tell that little girl she has never been more wrong about anything in her life.

@evacide By gosh I wish I could get my daughter to understand this. She's so eager to grow up, it's painful to watch.

@jerry It would explain some things. But I'm also confident it's BS. Maybe they have better systems than I've ever seen, but I'd say it's extremely unlikely that they've invested the money that would be needed to make an assessment like that with any usable level of accuracy.

if I were running Apple AI I'd first and foremost ensure autocorrect weren't worse than when the original iphone came out.

There should never be a typo or contextually incorrectly chosen word, and the UI around typing (the #1 user input action by far on phones, laptops, tablets) has not changed in decades (as I typed this autocorrect suggested 'decaes')

start thinking about AI as a way to improve product experience, develop those muscles, not BS greenfield IMAGINE keynote fodder".

@johnallsopp 💯 — I don't understand how this isn't completely obvious to everyone involved.
