Thoughts on design, development, AI infrastructure, and building products.
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 & CraftApple's Translation framework: free on-device translation via translationPresentation and TranslationSession, plus the offline-download edges demos skip.
AI & TechnologyiOS 26 widgets, Control Center controls, and Live Activities are all App Intents surfaces. One intent powers buttons, controls, and Live Activity actions.
AI & TechnologyMark Shuttleworth built Ubuntu on one idea -- Linux for human beings, free software for everyone -- grounded in ubuntu: humanity to others, shipped on a clock.
Engineering & CraftMargaret Hamilton coined 'software engineering' and wrote the Apollo flight code that survived the 1202 alarm. Defensive design, error recovery, and no second chance.
Engineering & CraftSwift 6.2 inverts concurrency: default your module to MainActor (SE-0466), run nonisolated async on the caller (SE-0461), escape with @concurrent.
AI & TechnologyKyunghyun 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 & CraftSatoru Iwata was a programmer who became Nintendo's president without ever stopping being a gamer -- technical mastery in service of the player's joy.
Engineering & CraftRadia Perlman invented the Spanning Tree Protocol and built networks that heal themselves -- loop-free, self-stabilizing, and correct even when nodes lie. Robustness as a first principle.
Engineering & CraftRaj Reddy pioneered machines you can talk to -- speech recognition, the blackboard model -- then aimed the most advanced AI at the world's poorest, not its richest.
Engineering & CraftSophie Wilson designed the ARM instruction set -- now in nearly every phone on Earth -- with a tiny team and a ruthless RISC efficiency that made low power almost an accident.
Engineering & CraftRoberto Ierusalimschy designed Lua around one principle -- mechanisms, not policy -- a small, fast, embeddable language that hands you the levers instead of the rules.
