    Everyone is so surprised that a fly’s brain can play games and I don’t get it at all. Like, have you met gamers before

    You know you’re in for a good time when you’re working on something in an area you’re unfamiliar in, wonder how a specific edge case is handled by other implementations, and find out the answer is “they don’t lmao”

    It’s hard to find good things to say about GitHub these days but I will give them credit that their terms of service are refreshingly succinct and really easy to understand. If you haven’t given them a read yet now is a good opportunity to do so: https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-of-service

    It’s amazing how the “try a bunch of undiscoverable stuff and see if it works” programming model of SwiftUI seems to have been totally saved by the existence of AI which excels at doing exactly this

    This Thursday I’m tricking a bunch of iOS developers into listening to me speak about threat models and secure design. Come join me at Verkada’s San Mateo office to hear about pushing the state of the art forward in sandboxing AI agents on macOS! https://luma.com/51htcbzd

    Hot take: program stacks should be (more or less) infinite

    I have to admit that the Siri Recap stuff all being “documented” using AI slop is really giving me confidence in the level of care that went into designing this feature

    I swear there is someone at Apple who thinks their job is to find every surface in the OS that is currently empty (and some that were being used!) and splat the new Siri AI logo there. It’s infested everything whether it makes sense or not and this only increases with every beta

    You can learn a lot about advanced packaging techniques by watching YouTube Shorts with obnoxious background music apparently

    My sister is applying for internships and just showed me an application form that asked her where she went to high school and made her list her past employers by selecting from a drop-down list (I will let you guess what options were there besides “Other – Technology Company”)

    LEGO “for adults” is just so depressing to me because they’re always like several hundred dollars and horrible looking renditions of, like, mega Pikachu with super custom parts that you build once and never touch again

    I think it is very good that Claude Code just passes slash commands to the model directly. Definitely nothing wrong with telling Opus that I used /context. It certainly won’t bring up that it’s close to compacting every response as an excuse to avoid doing work…

    Slides: https://github.com/saagarjha/Presentations/tree/main/CocoaHeads%20%2B%20SLUG%20June%202026. But, also, a GitHub repo for a new project fo mine: https://github.com/saagarjha/DeviceSupport. Think unxip but for “copying shared cache symbols”. It is currently slop as a proof of concept so I could demo it but I plan to clean it up soon https://federated.saagarjha.com/notice/B7LCZIh1mzdj3AllNg

    I keep hearing about sufficiently smart compilers but have we considered working on getting rid of sufficiently dumb compilers

    Tool use? Ah, that’s a common misconception. It’s not named for what the agents are calling but rather refers to the guys who are using the AI

    Me: So does your apartment have cable TV, like Comcast or something? Realtor: We have cable you can watch Me: …uh, it’s not Comcast? Realtor: You can enjoy the cable Me: Why are you saying it like that Realtor: It’s cable Me: Dude seriously what is it Realtor:

    I keep hearing about Claude’s Constitution but when are we going to get Claude’s Declaration of Independence

    Yeah so imagine that someone suddenly became very rich and got a hot new side piece and so their crazy vindictive ex (who everyone warned them to avoid in the first place) is now airing a bunch of dirty laundry during the divorce. Except it’s somehow about computers

    My hot take is that if you spend an appreciable amount of time posting about your CLAUDE.md or subagents strategy you are just LARPing as doing real work, in much the same way guys that talk about their vim config are rarely doing anything useful

    I don’t know about you but if my AI compiler got 30 TFLOPs on a 4096x4096x4096 matrix multiply I might hesitate to say it “rivals Triton’s extensively optimized stack”

    It seems like news of the death of CTF were somewhat exaggerated
