AI & TechnologyWriting
Thoughts on design, development, AI infrastructure, and building products.
Foundation Models on Private Cloud Compute
iOS 27 adds a server-scale Foundation Model on Private Cloud Compute with on-device privacy, plus a protocol to plug in your own LLM provider.
AI & TechnologyAccessibility in iOS 27: Reading Apps & Custom Controls
iOS 27 accessibility for reading apps and custom controls: text navigation linking, causesPageTurn, UITextInput, the adjustable trait, and direct touch.
AI & TechnologyFoundation Models in iOS 27: Tool-Calling Control
iOS 27 adds GenerationOptions.ToolCallingMode to steer how the on-device model uses tools, plus built-in Vision tools: OCRTool and BarcodeReaderTool.
AI & TechnologyYour Agent Has Two Untrusted Inputs
AI agents have two untrusted inputs: code the model writes and tool output it reads. One now has a real WASM sandbox; the other, MCP tool poisoning, does not.
AI & TechnologyMLX on Apple Silicon: When You Need Your Own Model, Not Apple's
Foundation Models gives you Apple's sealed on-device LLM. MLX runs your own: quantized open-weight models and LoRA fine-tunes on Apple Silicon.
AI & TechnologyEngineering Philosophy: Kyunghyun Cho
Kyunghyun Cho let models learn their own control structure -- gated memory in the GRU, soft alignment in attention -- and paired it with honest, reproducible science.
Engineering & CraftApple's Translation Framework: Free, On-Device, and Sharper Than It Looks
Apple's Translation framework: free on-device translation via translationPresentation and TranslationSession, plus the offline-download edges demos skip.
AI & TechnologyThe iOS 26 Widget Surface: One App Intent, Many Places
iOS 26 widgets, Control Center controls, and Live Activities are all App Intents surfaces. One intent powers buttons, controls, and Live Activity actions.
AI & TechnologyEngineering Philosophy: Salvatore Sanfilippo (antirez)
Salvatore Sanfilippo built Redis around one principle -- do less. A small, single-threaded, in-memory store you can hold in your head, written in C for humans to read.
Engineering & CraftEngineering Philosophy: Demis Hassabis, Solve Intelligence to Solve Everything
Demis Hassabis built general intelligence from first principles -- games as the proving ground, neuroscience as inspiration -- then pointed it at protein folding and won a Nobel.
Engineering & CraftEngineering Philosophy: Satoru Iwata
Satoru Iwata was a programmer who became Nintendo's president without ever stopping being a gamer -- technical mastery in service of the player's joy.
