What's New in Swift (2026): The WWDC26 Update
Swift 6.3 and 6.4 from WWDC26: anyAppleOS availability, module selectors, borrow/mutate accessors, the Iterable protocol, Swift Testing interop, and MLX.
AI & TechnologyWriting
Thoughts on design, development, AI infrastructure, and building products.
Your 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 & TechnologyEngineering 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: Jim Keller, Transistors Are Free
Jim Keller architected the chips behind AMD's comeback, the iPhone, Tesla's Autopilot and more -- by spending silicon to remove bottlenecks and rethinking from first principles.
Engineering & CraftEngineering Philosophy: Radia Perlman
Radia 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 & CraftThe 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: Mark Shuttleworth
Mark 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 & CraftEngineering Philosophy: Raj Reddy, Technology for the Bottom Billion
Raj 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 & CraftMLX 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 & CraftSwift 6.2 Concurrency in Practice: Default to MainActor, Escape on Purpose
Swift 6.2 inverts concurrency: default your module to MainActor (SE-0466), run nonisolated async on the caller (SE-0461), escape with @concurrent.
AI & TechnologyEngineering Philosophy: Fei-Fei Li, Data Is the Foundation
Fei-Fei Li gave AI its eyes by building ImageNet -- betting that data at scale, not a cleverer model, was the missing ingredient, and that AI must stay human-centered.
