<p>After the steep increase in sales of Mac Studios specifically for LLMs, I'm waiting for Apple to release a frontier level model, optimized for highest end of apple hardware (probably would be hardware locked by a certain neural processor needed (which would then lock the memory config).<p>The built in Apple Intelligence right now is very small, but even just having a small LLM you know is <i>always</i> there, online, fast and ready makes you think about building app differently. I would love the context to expand from the meager ~4K tokens.</p>

<p>I've been thinking a lot about this lately. It seems like what is missing with most coding agents is a central source of truth. Before the truth of what the company was building and alignment was distributed, people had context about what they did and what others did and are doing.<p>Now the coding agent starts fresh each time and its up to you to understand what you asked it and provide the feedback loop.<p>Instead of chat -> code, I think chat -> spec and then spec -> code is much more the future.<p>the spec -> code phase should be independent from any human. If the spec is unclear, ask the human to clarify the spec, then use the spec to generate the code.<p>What happens today is that something is unclear and there is a loop where the agent starts to uncover some broader understanding, but then it is lost the next chat. And then the Human also doesn't learn <i>why</i> their request was unclear. "Memories" and Agents files are all ducktape to this problem.</p>

<p>Floats break the basic expectation of == for round-trip verification, not due to programmer error, but because NaN is non-reflexive by spec. A bit-perfect round-trip can reproduce the exact bit pattern and still fail an equality check. The problem is intrinsic to the type, not the operator.</p>

<p>I've been saying this for the past 2 years. Even think about the stereotypical "996" work schedule that is all the rave in SF and AI founder communities.<p>It just takes thinking about it for 5 seconds to see the contradiction. If AI was so good at reducing work, why is it every company engaging with AI has their workload increase.<p>20 years ago SV was stereotyped for "lazy" or fun loving engineers who barely worked but cashed huge pay checks. Now I would say the stereotype is overworked engineers who on the midlevel are making less than 20 back.<p>I see it across other disciplines too. Everyone I know from sales, to lawyers, etc if they engage with AI its like they get stuck in a loop where the original task is easier but now it revealed 10 more smaller tasks that fill up their time even more so than before AI.<p>Thats not to say productivity gains with AI aren't found. It just seems like the gains get people into a flywheel of increasing work.</p>
