There’s more: 27.3 introduces a memory graph. It’s centered on you: relationships, places, routines, health, workouts, and what motivates you or holds you back. Plus “memory atoms”: facts, opinions, intentions and events, with time, place, people and topic. Tidbits: • The memory graph is filled by two kinds of recipes: 1. Fastpass: Turns already-structured data into insights. For example, Person-v1 reads your Me card’s name fields. 2. Agent: An on-device or PCC model extracts insights by querying Siri chats, messages, photos, health data, and other sources. • There’s only one agent recipe today, MotivatorBarrierResource. Its prompt asks 60 built-in questions, including “Do extended solo media activities during evening downtime routines highlight time availability barriers for adequate sleep?” • The memory graph is still being built. For example, there’s no process that creates memory atoms yet. • Memory atoms can generalize into broader memories. Each is tagged with one of 21 topics, such as food, travel, finance, or services, which can store your dentist or lawyer.​ Here’s where to find the DBs on Mac: • Memory graph: ~/Library/CorePersonalization/insight/MemoryGraph/memorygraph.db​ • HybridSearch (incl. explicit-memory records, none yet): ~/Library/Daemon Containers/<UUID>/Data/Library/HybridSearch/index/C/index.db Both use HybridDatabase, Apple’s fork of Kùzu (storage v57), so the public kuzu package can’t open them. You can use HybridDatabase.framework.
Apple is building an explicit-memory store for Siri AI. Memory records are queried via full-text (BM25) and vector search, then merged via RRF. Siri’s chat recall in 27.2 uses the same search pipeline to find past chats. Built on the Kuzu graph database Apple acquired.

Florida, like California's Prop 13, protects property owners while shifting more of the cost of maintaining the community onto people who don't receive the same benefit. I'm sure it will all just work out. Right California?
Amendment 3 results re: first step for property tax elimination. Only 3 counties — Gadsden, Leon and Alachua (three most liberal counties) — had a majority vote against it. Rural counties where opponents were trying to scare people against it voted overwhelmingly in favor. 66% in Miami-Dade voted in favor, and large counties including Hillsborough, Palm Beach and Lee all hit 60% or more. Big win for taxpayers!

Hey @SenWhitehouse Americans also want clean air, clean water, protected public lands, and a functioning system of environmental and judicial oversight. Why should making energy more affordable require sacrificing those protections?

An awful bill, referred to as “BAAJA,” is on the verge of becoming law. It would gut environmental protections to favor rapid expansion of data centers & related energy infrastructure. Senator Mike Lee (UT) is one of its chief architects. Tell your senators & reps to oppose it.

My parents also raised me with Thoreau’s idea of "all good things are wild and free.” I grew up feral, too, not on an island in Maine but in the backwoods of Vermont. I was free to roam these waters and the mountains surrounding them. How lucky I was. theguardian.com/society/ng-i…

“Make room” 🤪
Tesla says it's winding down Cybertruck to make room for Cybercab. I don't buy it. Giga Texas sits on 2,500 acres with 10M+ sq ft of factory floor. Tesla is already prepping the site for an Optimus line built for 10M robots a year. There's room to grow if they need it. Tesla's own Q3 deck lists installed capacity there of 375K+ Model Y, 125K+ Cybertruck, and 125K+ Cybercab. The Cybertruck line ran at roughly 22% of capacity last quarter. Space isn't the problem. And Cybercab doesn't replace what Cybertruck does. It's a two-seater built for short trips. That leaves a massive gap. Families. People who want a bigger vehicle. People who haul gear. People where transit doesn't reach. Robots won't fill that gap anytime soon. So is Tesla conceding its car business to SpaceX's priorities? Maybe. But mass-producing vehicles is worth a lot. Battery and motor IP. Manufacturing know-how. Millions of owners validating autonomy every day. I don't think they walk away from that. Lars Moravy said "never say never" on S and X. He also said a comeback would start from zero, on Cybercab-style manufacturing. Elon said Tesla's lineup will be autonomous vehicles of different sizes. When someone begged for a minivan: "Something way cooler than a minivan is coming." Different sizes. Cooler than a minivan. My bet: Tesla is cooking something behind the scenes. Not a resurrected S or X. A new line that pulls from what they've built with Semi and Roadster. We'll see.

My sense of BAAJA is that it has a lot of good stuff in it, but it is also riddled with extremely-damaging poison pills borne from the feverish mind of Mike Lee, the most anti-public-lands ideological fanatic in the entire U.S. Congress. Lee loses the ENR chairmanship in two months, and so it doesn't surprise me that many in the Democratic caucus think they can make a much better bipartisan compromise bill when they no longer have to cater to Lee's specific whims.

This is why I believe it’s Apple’s to fumble away…
Companies that offer integrated solutions for local inference will boom in the next few years. I'm not talking about another GPU in a case. Hardware + OS + an inference stack that makes open models easy to run. A plug-and-play system. Ease of use is still underrated.

Spot on👇
We have been saying this for years at Electrek; Tesla is too heavily betting on autonomy at the detriment of its auto business. And we were called “haters” for it. Valid criticism is not “hate” and the Tesla community needs to get that through its thick skull.

"No" isn’t a housing plan, a health plan, or a tax plan
Phil Scott has vetoed the vast majority of the insane democratic agenda which would’ve radically reshaped the state by pricing out Vermonters and turned it into western Massachusetts 2.0. Anyone who says otherwise is ignorant.

These irreplaceable old growth forests continue to be logged across British Columbia. Over 1,200 people have been arrested trying to keep them standing. There is no time to waste. Protect the Irreplaceable. #ActOnClimate #climate #nature @bcndp #bcpoli #bcgov Pic @TJWattPhoto

They aren’t the first and they certainly won’t be the last to cut off the slop and absolute money wasting happening within most orgs 😳

Yes💯, this 👇
Crazy idea re: permitting reform: What if, rather than passing a shit sandwich GOP bill that guts our environmental laws in a lame duck session right after winning historic majorities, maybe wait two months to pass a transmission bill without the shit and dare Trump to veto it?

F*ck yeah!!
