Trying hard not to comment on the Current Thing.

Realtors very happy to hear I have SpaceX stock but apparently haven’t heard of lockups. Anyway, my read from open houses today is the top end is about to pop off even bigger.

“i never thought that the government would block MY unsafe deployment”, says man who published an opinion piece yesterday in favor of the Government Should Have The Ability To Block Unsafe Deployments party

Mark is, of course, right.

Hey remember when everyone was freaking out over the Biden administration threat to restrict frontier AI? LOL. LMAO, even.

I didn’t expect SpaceX to go public for at least another ten years. This is a good day, but I’m still bullish and still in it for the long term. $SPCX

In a lot of ways it is pretty fun to be a programmer right now. I can get a lot more done. In other ways it is sad to watch hard earned knowledge and skills become worth less and less. But, the profession always changes. This time is the same, but different.

PaperKit is now available on macOS (retroactively back to macOS 26), bringing drawing and Apple Pencil support to the platform.👀 Just another hint that a touchscreen MacBook might not be too far away. developer.apple.com/document…

Maybe I should just buy a vacation home and keep my apartment. Sheesh.

Huh? A Seiko Apple Smart Watch Is Set To Hit The Auction Block: nullarysources.tumblr.com/po…

One theory I’ve been floating is that the rush to go public is to get it done before Warren is back in power.

I benchmarked Apple's brand-new Core AI (WWDC'26) against MLX and CoreML for on-device LLMs on an iPhone 17 Pro. The results surprised me. Qwen3-0.6B Decode speed (tok/s): • Core AI (GPU, pipelined): 180 warm 🥇 • MLX (GPU): 115 • Core AI (ANE): 50 • CoreML-LLM (ANE): 39

SpaceX has just unveiled their next-generation Starlink terminals, which will be made in much higher volume than the current terminals. "Elon: We ultimately think there will be a few hundred million Starlink terminals out there." No info yet on specs/dimensions, but they look a little more rounded off.

SpaceX has just officially unveiled its AI1 satellite, the first generation of its AI satellite. Overall Specs: • 150 kW peak compute payload • 120 kW average compute payload • 70 kW per ton • Compute provider interchangeable Dimensions: • Wingspan: 70 meters • Deployed height: 20 meters Thermal System: • 110 m² deployable liquid radiator • Redundant pumping loops • Integrated micrometeoroid shielding • Deployable liquid radiators Solar Power System: • 150 kW solar array • 250 W/m² • SpaceX-manufactured solar technology from Bastrop, Texas Architecture: • Centralized compute module • Large deployable solar arrays • Deployable liquid-radiator thermal management system • AI-focused compute satellite design ("AI1 satellite") Elon: "The AI satellite is much simpler than a Starlink satellite. The AI satellite is essentially a lot of solar cells, you still need some laser links, but you don't have all of the super complex antennas that you have on a Starlink satellite. The easier one to design for is the AI satellite. It's bigger. A lot of this is technology we've already made with the Starlink V3 satellites."

🔺NEW: Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute (PCC) beyond our data centers. PCC on Google Cloud: NVIDIA Confidential Computing, Intel TDX, and Google's Titan chip, with capabilities that go far beyond a traditional confidential computing deployment. security.apple.com/blog/expa…

In WWDC 2022, I published principles for deploying Transformers on the Apple Neural Engine. 4 years later, Apple turned those principles into instructions for agents, so on-device transformers are accessible to non-experts from Day 1. More bullish than ever for on-device to become the developer default.
