Symphony turns project work into isolated, autonomous implementation runs, allowing teams to manage work instead of supervising coding agents.

Looking forward to hearing more of this gorgeous looking and sounding upcoming release.

What a treat: full David Bowie concert on Musikladen Extra from Bremen on May 29, 1978 restored in 2025!

Began reading Tim Berners-Lee’s memoir today. Such a treat so far. I’m only two chapters in but already hooked. Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in the web’s roots, the story of modern computing, and the possibilities ahead.

Stunning musical sculptures

The results are not surprising. China is well ahead of everyone else. In fact, its additional solar and wind generation alone is more than the other 19 countries in the “top 20” combined.The United States is in second, followed by Brazil, India and Germany. Again, unsurprisingly, a lot of the most populous and/or richer countries appear on this list.

I agree with my friends comment on this that, "vibe coding is an almost tailor-made evaluation for PMs"

Absolutely beautiful alt-rock album by Helen Franzmann (McKisko) and Mick Turner (Dirty Three, Tren Brothers).

Awesome to hear someone demo stem splitting improvements in Logic—especially compared to recent versions of iZotope and Logic from a year ago. You can really hear the progress Apple has made.

Always been a fan of this track from Dusk—Matt’s new take brings it to life in a whole new way.

Digging this band and video!

It’s lovely to recall how I used to consume the weather in the 90s.

cua is an open-source framework built to:

• Launch and manage macOS and Linux VMs using Apple Silicon’s Virtualization Framework.
• Enable AI agents (like those from OpenAI, Anthropic, or UI-TARS) to interact with the OS UI, click buttons, type text, take screenshots, and run commands.
• Run near-native speed VMs using tools like lume and lumier.

The machine contains three heads: one for erasing, one for recording, and one for playing back. Because each head can be switched off or on, we have the option of sound-on-sound looping, and delay. A feedback path sets the amount of repetitions, and voltage controlled motor speed allows for external control of the motor via keyboards and other synthesizers.

All the tools are slowly converging feature-wise with the aim of autonomous development.

That seems like an accurate snapshot of where today’s AI coding tools stand. If engineering teams aren’t embracing these tools to meaningfully boost development speed and effortlessly manage small changes, it points to serious cultural challenges—and imho could ultimately undermine a company’s competitiveness.

I can’t wait to buy and use these real-time audio plugins from the maestros in audio processing. Comes out in September 2025.

I’m looking forward to seeing this incredible modern jazz quartet live someday — but until then, I’ll savor whatever I can get.

What a treat.

A streamlined approach to resolve Xcode build errors, test app behavior with UI automation and screenshots, and verify runtime output through captured logs—entirely autonomously within Cursor.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides Xcode-related tools for integration with AI assistants and other MCP clients.

I invited Christine to present a section or idea from her book for After Babel. She chose one of my favorites: the loss of “interstitial time.” Interstices are the gaps between things, as with the cells in your body or the spaces between architectural columns. When applied to time, it means the many bits of time scattered throughout the day such as the five minutes that students have in between classes, or the unknown number of seconds that pass while you are waiting for an elevator. These moments used to be given over to silent reflection or conversation with whoever is around. Now, for most of us, nearly all of them are grabbed by our phones.

I’ve noticed I tend to bring my phone with me during small moments throughout the day—times when I really don’t need it. Whether I’m heading to the garage, walking upstairs, or waiting for the microwave, it’s like a security blanket that keeps me from just being alone with my thoughts. I’m going to make a conscious effort to stop doing that and try to appreciate those quiet, in-between moments instead.

Huawei is involved in projects that aim to develop alternatives to technology from chip designer Nvidia, equipment maker ASML, memory-chip maker SK Hynix, and contract manufacturer Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company.

Each of these projects is insanely ambitious. Doing them all in parallel, under one parent company, is unprecedented.

My prediction is that the demand for great thinkers will remain unabated. It’s unclear if we’ll call them engineers or if it’ll matter, because these people will have a lot of full stack impact on the whole business, as they’ll have access to prompt their way to any successful outcome.

I wholeheartedly agree. Developing refined taste and the ability to think through business logic are the crucial skills to master.

Experimental command-line audio tool focused on sample manipulation, structural effects, and song structure workflows inspired by prior generative music tools.

I plan on only using samples and trying to elevate the samples by restructuring and juxtaposed effects chains - and have its creation based entirely in a terminal.

I wonder if the testimonials are real people.

Looks like it could be a useful app for tracking miscellaneous stuff but will I remember it exists when I need something like it?

The two companies are in active negotiations to let Apple license Gemini, Google’s set of generative AI models, to power some new features coming to the iPhone software this year

Spicy rumor! It's easy to speculate that this is being driven by Apple being behind the leaders in genAI capabilities. I assume Apple has observed Microsoft's strategic investments and see the value in following a similar path. With users likely to explore billions of different use cases on their devices, Apple could face increased regulatory attention from anything they launch using AI. It's possible that Apple aims to profit from this platform as they enhance their genAI features, potentially securing a lucrative new multi-year agreement in spaces they are not motivated to enter (yet) like search. But, who knows! Buttering my popcorn.

It’s not just that their customers want to make some of the money that Nvidia has been raking in — it’s that they can’t afford to keep paying so much. Microsoft “went from spending less than 10 percent of their capital expenditure on Nvidia to spending nearly 40 percent,” Luria says. “That’s not sustainable.”

That is serious money. One must assume MSFT and others are investing in alternative solutions.

Been meaning to understand the tech behind Passkeys better.

DSPy is a framework for algorithmically optimizing LM prompts and weights, especially when LMs are used one or more times within a pipeline. To use LMs to build a complex system without DSPy, you generally have to: (1) break the problem down into steps, (2) prompt your LM well until each step works well in isolation, (3) tweak the steps to work well together, (4) generate synthetic examples to tune each step, and (5) use these examples to finetune smaller LMs to cut costs. Currently, this is hard and messy: every time you change your pipeline, your LM, or your data, all prompts (or finetuning steps) may need to change.

A framework for programming—not prompting—foundation models.
