The AI I want to see on a Mac or an iPhone is a configuration assistant that would analyze all of the configuration parameters and then ask me using plain English questions how I would like to use my system, my privacy preferences, my risk tolerance, etc. and then make suggestions for recommended changes.  Or being able to instruct Siri about configuration changes I’d like to make and it goes and makes the changes without me having to plod through all sorts of menus. 

This would actually very cool and useful

I really hope they separate the scanning capability from Notes.

It really should be part of Camera. Open camera app, select scan, take pic (scan). Ask me what to do with it (like a screenshot does). Message, email, save to Photos or Files, save as Note etc. 

I often need to send PDF scans of documents. I never need to save them as a note.

Using this feature as a part of Notes adds a lot of unnecessary steps and time to the process, including deleting the unnecessary note I just created.

You can also scan in the files app and save them directly to your iCloud Drive.  This makes much more sense if the destination of the scan is NOT going into a note.

Did not know that. Thanks!.

Less than 90 days to complete a marathon? S l o w

Article quote:

“This time using specifically data from April 2023, they found that half of participants would run or walk 26.2 miles in 90 days or fewer.” [of training]

I’m not sure if you’re serious in your statement or being facetious.   I’d agree that the article needs an edit to make clear meaning of what is done in 90 days. It sounds like what you said, it takes 90 days to complete the distance of a marathon.  In 90 days one has to sleep and eat every day among other bodily functions. 

I believe the study actually showed that training vigorously nearly every day for 3 months produced results of the ability to complete a marathon event.  

I wish the age and health of the cohort was revealed in the reporting.   I don’t think it would apply to folks in my late 70’s age group. In my age group it might take a year or more of training to be able to complete a marathon event.  

I would not run that distance as it is too hard on the spine after aging with normal wear and tear and decline of protein repair at this age. Swimming is a better sport for less wear and tear on joints and connective tissue. 

At a younger age of 55 yrs old, I did compete at a very fast pace.  Heck, we have professional athletes competing into their 40’s.
