I’ve worked with flip phones for years, and I think this is the first one I’ve seen with Sailfish! I didn’t see the specs, but it’s got to be comparable to a budget Android phone to run that well. I’m curious to see more of the UX, performa

What happened to kit homes and plan books? Rather that bring down the cost of custom design, can we bring down the cost of partially pre-fabricated, modern code-compliant homes that still resemble something traditional (not a shipping conta

The work of a true masochist, but in all seriousness, it’s a solid article explaining aarch64 assembly in plain language.

I love SQLite and have ran it even on networked drives with queued writes for read-heavy applications. It’s an incredibly robust piece of software that’s often cost me pennies per month to serve 100k+ monthly users. But there’s definitely a

Subjectively, AFM isn’t even close to Qwen. It’s one of the weakest models I’ve used. I’m not even sure how many people have Apple Intelligence enabled. But I agree, there must be a huge onboarding win long-term using (and adapting) a model

Sent a LinkedIn request. I’m building a language-specific coding agent using Apple Intelligence with custom adapters. It’s more a proof-of-concept at this point, but basic functionality actually works! The 4K context window is brutal, but t

Rig sounds cool, I just joined the waitlist! I’m building something similar although with a much narrower purpose. Excited to learn more

That’s awesome! I’ve got a similar project for macOS/ iOS using the Apple Intelligence models and on-device STT Transcriber APIs. Do you think it the models you’re using could be quantized more that they could be downloaded on first ru

Neat! I’ve actually been building with AFM, including training some LoRA adapters to help steer the model. With the right feedback mechanisms and guardrails, you can even use it for code generation! Hopefully I’ll have a few apps and tools

I’m also working on agents in Swift with the AFM, just having it locally already installed is a huge selling point. I think narrowly-focused agents with good tooling and architecture could accomplish quite a bit, with tradeoffs in speed and

Pretty nice to have menu bar integration. For macOS 26+, why not use the already-installed on-device speech transcription models?

Love the idea, would be great to see a modes to switch to circular interface for the Time Round 2. Definitely lots of potential for rapid iteration on new watch faces and apps!

I tried Elixir a few months back with several different models (GPT, Claude, and Gemini). I’m not an Elixir or BEAM developer, but the results were quite poor. I rarely got it to generate syntactically correct Elixir (let alone idiomatic).

How do sites stop background playback? I’m guessing there’s more than just FocusEvent on the window.

Cool app! It’s quite polished and scrolling is smooth on a 13 Mini. Some quick thoughts: - I didn’t see any loading indicator, and some videos took multiple seconds to load - When I scroll up then back down, I get a white gradient at the bo

I run a podcast app for flip phones called PodLP. Revenue hasn’t always been $500/month, but averaged over the past 5 years it’s been over $500. It’s been primarily from sponsorships (podcasts get featured on the homepage to get more l

As a counterpoint, consider reading Kevin Kelly’s “The Inevitable.” I also avoid most social media and have an aversion to all things “smart,” but these may actually be “inevitable.” In a capitalist society, these forces feel inevitable bec

Are there viable options? I run Asahi on my M1 Air and it performs quite well, but certain software like Android Studio has issues and hiccups. I’d love a decent ultrabook to replace my Air, but I hate Windows and got overwhelmed with readi

I’m using Pico for a hackathon project. It’s a good way to prototype, especially the class-less version. You don’t need to pay attention to every detail to get the concept in a good enough state, nor do you need an LLM to remind you of Tail

Well many have come true, a few have not. As someone who gets vertigo from headsets, I’m a VR skeptic. But his AI predictions are pretty much spot on

I saw this header recently while profiling headers from feature phones. I think Opera Mini or another browser might’ve injected this header, which is odd because it’s meant to reduce bandwidth and sending it with each request goes against t
