Spec-Driven AI Development

You write a prompt, hit enter, and watch the console light up green. Code pours out. It feels like magic. Then you try to maintain the thing a week later, and you realize your shiny new AI agent just built a leaking bucket.

Auto-stack and auto-process HDR in Lightroom 4

My camera marks HDR images quite clearly: They are a sequence of images, where the first second one and third one are equally many stops removed from the first one, and they're usually within a couple of seconds from one-another, with all other settings the same. That sounds like something that should be easy to stack in the import-process, right? Preferably followed up by a rendering to a 32-bit pr channel image straight afterward that is set as the stack top image.

A colleague of mine showed me how it had been compiled on iOS 4, using these scripts, but with iOS 5 I ended up with binaries compiled for the arm architecture instead of the armv7 architecture.

Application-switcher not responding

From time to time I get the same problem: the application switcher (command-tab) stops responding. It usually takes closing a lot of programs or restarting to get it working again. Today, I seem to have found the gangster: Screen Sharing. When I closed it, application switching started working again. It must have taken over the control over a couple of keys too many.

ubd wanted to connect to windows.net, so I looked it up, and it belongs to Ubiquity.framework, that is a part of the iCloud integration. Hmm...
