I gave a talk about the ACP protocol & @zed.dev at the Agentic coding meetup at MOIA in Hamburg yesterday. Here are the slides form the talk:

Anyone else realize the uncanny behavioral similarity between TIM COOK and the dragon SMAUG?

The iPad came out 15 years ago and still it is impossible to use it for software development without resorting to kludges (e.g. run in Cloud, use limited playgrounds, be limited to languages like Python or C).

But hey we got a new UI that unnecessarily burns GPU cycles

This weekends project, generate extruded 3d meshes from rich text for use in the Bevy Game Engine

Thank you Claude. Yes, deleting the file certainly is one way of getting rid of the errors lol.

In line with Luca Maestri and the Apple Court Order decision:

Remember that Luca was *also* the person who told the Siri team that they were not allowed to buy more GPUs and should make do with less. A decision that severely hurt Apple's current AI ambitions.

Gemini is really becoming my favorite vibe coder AI. By far.

I wrote a Model Context Protocol Server that gives Cursor access to Rust's type system, Docs and tooling. This allows the LLM to reason better about your codebase.

Llama 4 was just released in two model sizes

The (smaller) Scout model is really attractive for Apple Silicon. It is 109B big but split up into 16 experts. This means that the actual processing happens in 17B. Which means responses will be as fast as current 17B models

I just finished a benchmark study to evaluate the impact of programming language choice on the quality of various LLMs. The findings were quite intriguing:
For instance, there was a 20% quality difference between Python and Rust when tested with o3-mini.

And I was wondering why 77% of my 128GB ram were used up lol.

It's cute how at the same time the prevalent wisdom is that "AI companies have no moat" *and* "apple is terrible at AI".

What is it? If AI companies had no moat, a company as big as Apple should have been able to release much better AI than the junk they shipped. Small Qwen models are way better.

Lets see if this site is a great at finding talented developers as that dead bird site used to be.

We're hiring in Cupertino, San Diego, Seattle and Vancouver BC for a bunch of different roles.
