Comment Re:Freecell (Score 1) 45

Wish I kept the prompt, but I didn't give it much at all. I have also done solitaire as well. I gave it no hints on what the rules where or what the game looked like. It was something as simple as this.

"I want freecell for Mac. Make it as close to the windows version as you can. Write it in swift and make it a native MacOS application with an icon and everything that goes along with that. If you need to download any libraries or compilers ask me to approve them."

I already had xcode installed and I THINK it used that to compile it, but I'm not positive. I didn't need to download anything to get it done, took it about 10 minutes.

Comment Freecell (Score 4, Funny) 45

I got tired of my mac not having freecell. So I told claude to create it as a python app with a gui. And it did. But the graphics were a little kludgy. So I told it to try again as a swift app. Boom, I have freecell for mac now. I've never coded anything for mac, I haven't even looked at the (vulnerable) code it's created.

Good Response, nice to meet you neighbor!

And being oracle, I don't think I'd want to work there if they put it right in columbia. But I WOULD be thankful that it would drive up competition and increase IT salaries along with it. And drive up my house value as well. I'm not an oracle hater, but I'm not interested in working in a highly competitive environment any longer. I hear horror stories about amazon and google dumping their bottom 10% each year. No thank you! I do good work, but I don't want to live in constant fear or constantly having to prove myself every year.

- Which is why I'm in Columbia. I don't go downtown to save my life.
  - again, many areas outside of town are still affordable (Murfreesboro is too damn busy now)
  - yup, but believe it or not, there are still affordable areas in williamson County (I was in nolensville before columbia)
  - Mass transit, yeah I can see your point of view is living IN Nashville. I'll try to quit harping on living outside of town.
  - That tunnel will only be for people who want to stay drunk between the airport and downtown, not for anyone local.
  - Meh, they can be high, but it's not impossible to find some towns that are safe, clean and cheap.

Anyway, I don't really agree with anything you say. I think the solution for most is find one of the areas within an hour driving distance. The problem is oracle made that pretty hard with where they put it. Don't put it right smack downtown where it's hard to get to. Not sure if that side of the river is any easier or not. But it's further away from most of the population. The growth is all East and South of nashville. They put it somewhere that would be great for the opposite.

On the other hand, I don't want any of you people moving here. Stay away. Don't add to my traffic and housing prices. This place sucks!

No kidding. I'm in Columbia, basically commuting distance to Nashville. And while I love this area, I would NOT drive to where they've put that place. It's a traffic nightmare, they're on the wrong side of the river, making traffic worse. And, oh yeah, it's oracle. I'm already at a Mega corp, but it's not a super competitive one. Count my out of anything like Oracle, MS, Google, Apple, Amazon...

Comment Mixed feelings about this (Score 1) 44

Good and bad here and I can't decide which side I'm on. When apple did this they SEVERELY reduced the theft of iphones. And while no one wants their phone stolen in any way, it's the muggings in large cities that really went way down. People saw those white iphones cords going into people's pocket and they new an expensive, desirable and easy to sell phone was at the end of it. I've never been mugged, nor have had a family member, but the idea of someone stopping my wife or kid on the street demanding their phone terrifies me.

On the other hand, I work in corporate IT. I've seen the stack and stacks of iphones and ipads that have been locked by the user and we can't reset them. For whatever reason our predecessor didn't lock down icloud with the MDM, so the users logged into icloud. We told them when they quit they had to remove it, but many didn't know how and they just shipped us their locked phone. Holding their last paycheck is illegal, so we ended up with stacks of expensive, shiny and useless hardware. I even brought about 5 ipads home because I was going to see what sort of 'hacking tools' I could use to unlock them. Haven't gotten around to trying yet.

Comment Beta bug, big deal (Score 1) 119

I'm not really very pro-Siri for just about anything.

But I just tested both prompts on my 16pro and got "It's friday march 21, 2025". That is a perfectly acceptable answer. A little more than I was requesting, but it's certainly not wrong.

But yall are running beta software. Obviously there's a bug. That's why it's beta software. Now if this still happens after it's released software, THEN you have a story. But now you're just trying to get famous.
