Swift & Rust. Formerly XING, now doing all kinds of things.

I have more side projects than are good for me. There's the markdown presentation app Hyperdeck (https://hyperdeck.io), there's the Mastodon Client Ebou (https://terhech.de/ebou/), there's an app to Group your email inbox (https://github.com/terhechte/postsack), and more on my Github Profile...

I've start to call Tim Cook "Smaug". As a reference to LOTR: It's a fitting name in that the roots of Apple's success were software development (the "dwarves"), and for a long time developers had a great standing (internally and externally). But then Tim "Smaug" Cook took over the Iron Mountain of Apple (the hoards of Gold). And boy does Tim like money. And anyone who dares wanting any of his money are thieves. Hence software developers are thieves for wanting to maybe pay a bit less than 30%.

I'd be happy to pay a $99 per year "additional" developer subscription so that I could run a macOS or Linux virtual machine on the iPad and do development work in there. That's it, use the already-existing virtualization framework.
Whenever I travel I have to lug the iPad and a Macbook around, and I'd just love to be able to just take the iPad.

The iPad came out 15 years ago and still it is impossible to use it for software development without resorting to kludges (e.g. run in Cloud, use limited playgrounds, be limited to languages like Python or C).

But hey we got a new UI that unnecessarily burns GPU cycles without any kind of functional benefit and at worst distracts attention away from the content.

This is what Apple should have build. Google build it.

https://developers.googleblog.com/en/introducing-gemma-3n/

Lightweight model that can run on device, understands audio, smarter than GPT4.1 nano.

By listening to long to the employees who hate AI or don't believe in LLMs Apple lost the edge of intelligence.

Gemma 3n can run with your data fully private

Thank you Claude. Deleting the file is certainly one way of getting rid of the errors lol.

In line with the Apple Court Order decision:

> [...] but Tim Cook ignored Schiller and instead allowed Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri and his finance team to convince him otherwise. Cook chose poorly.

Remember that Luca was *also* the person who told the Siri team that they were not allowed to buy more GPUs and should make do with less. A decision that severely hurt Apple's current AI ambitions.

Tim Cook approved big AI investment in 2023, but Luca Maestri slashed it: NYT - 9to5Mac

Apple’s AI struggles have been blamed on a variety of issues, but a new report says budget and former CFO Luca Maestri shoulder some blame.

Gemini is really becoming my favorite vibe coder AI. By far.

I wrote a Model Context Protocol servers that gives Cursor access to Rust's type system, Docs and tooling. This allows the LLM to reason better about your codebase.
