About Missed Minutes
Missed Minutes is an independent technology wire. It follows AI, developer tooling, macOS software and the companies shipping them, and it files a short, sourced brief on each story within minutes of it breaking — not a week later in a round-up.
How a story gets made
- 1. Discovery. The pipeline watches the wire — public posts, launches, repository activity, the Mac release notes.
- 2. Clustering. Duplicates and rewrites of the same announcement are folded into one thread so you read the event once, not nine times.
- 3. Drafting. A language model writes the brief from the clustered material. It is instructed to summarise, attribute and never invent quotes.
- 4. Review. A human approves or rejects each story before it reaches the feed. The channel is published to, and mirrored here in the same minute.
Editorial standards
Attribution over aggregation. Every story links to the account or publication that broke it. We name the source in the byline and link the original post, so a claim can always be traced back to the tape.
AI is disclosed, not disguised. The brief is machine-drafted and human-approved. We do not fabricate quotes, sources, images or first-hand reporting, and the automation is stated here rather than hidden. When a story is wrong, the fix goes in the story.
Headlines say what happened. No cliffhangers, no curiosity gaps, no invented numbers. If the headline promises it, the first paragraph delivers it.
Dates are the real dates. Published and updated times come from the wire itself; we do not re-date old stories to look fresh.
Corrections. If something is wrong, incomplete or misattributed, tell the desk on Telegram and we will correct it, or pull the story if it cannot be fixed. Corrections are noted in the story.
Who runs it
Missed Minutes is an independent publication: an automated wire that a human reviews before anything goes out. The feed carries no sponsored posts, and no story is published in exchange for payment. The archive is public, the feed is free, and the same stories go out on the Telegram channel.
