【AI】232. From Typewriters to Transformers AI is Just the Next Tools Abstraction
Writing and learning with AI is the typewriter, the word processor, the encyclopedia, and the almanac rolled into one. Seeing it as something scarier than that is just fear of new tools and new paradigms. Again. It is not surprise that we're seeing so much writing about concerns—writers are the ones who are directly challenged. Just as electrical engineers were challenged by software abstracting out hardware.
这篇文章的观点主要是 AI 是新时代的工具，家长和老师没必要像以前恐惧打字机、电脑和百科全书一样恐惧它（说实话我们这边的家长从来没恐惧过这些，甚至计算器都不怎么恐惧）。观点我不太同意，但是文章值得一读。LLM 和打字机有很大不同，电脑打字出现的时候我们都知道写字能力会退化。LLM 会让什么能力退化？这些退化是你愿意接受的么。
【AR】Inside Aria Gen 2 Explore the Cutting-Edge Tech Behind the Device
Meta 公布了 AR 眼镜的第二代，虽然号称并非概念产品，但是也完全不是能零售的水平。这个集成度还是很厉害的，在这个尺寸上加入了眼动追踪和额外的机器视觉摄像头，我猜可能能实现七成 Vision Pro 的手控和眼控能力，主要是功率限制，精度不会很高。
可是真的挺丑的，以及拍照只有单目。
9to5Mac Reports Apple Notes Will Gain Markdown Export at WWDC, and, You’ll Be Unsurprised to Know, I Have Thoughts
The other great use case for Markdown is in a context where you either need or just want to be saving to a plain text file or database field. That’s not what Apple Notes is or should be. I can see why many technically-minded people want to use Markdown “everywhere”. It’s quite gratifying that Markdown has not only become so popular, but after 21 years, seemingly continues to grow in popularity, to the point now where there clearly are a lot of people who seemingly enjoy writing in Markdown more than even I do. But I think it would be a huge mistake for Apple to make Apple Notes a “Markdown editor”, even as an option. It’s trivial to create malformed Markdown syntax; it shouldn’t be possible to have a malformed note in Apple Notes. I craft posts for Daring Fireball; I dash off notes in Apple Notes.
John Gruber 是 Markdown 的发明者（和 Aaron Swartz 一起），他对 Markdown 的适用场景非常清晰。作为一种标记语言 Markdown 有一个非常明确的学习门槛，而且为了轻量化编辑器一般是不做严格的语法检查的，所以它不适合大众，但是在写 blog 这件事儿上特别合适。
