In our case we use CoreML on iOS and LiteRT (ML Drift) on Android. I also have working LiteRT implementations on servers (CPU and GPU) and in the browser with WebGPU.

Australia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage. We traded our privacy for no reason. theconversation.com/more-than-80...

theconversation.comMore than 80% of kids still using social media despite ban, new eSafety report findsThe report provides more evidence Australia’s world-leading social media ban isn’t going to plan.

Programmers often talk about ergonomic keyboards, more rarely about ergonomic mice. I use a Cherry MW 4500, if you are prone to tendonitis it is life-changing.

I can be very efficient when using automatic programming because I know exactly what the agent is doing. I would be able to do it myself, albeit slower most of the time. I have *no idea* how people who have not spent years programming, designing and operating systems will ever reach that point.

Pour se rendre compte de la taille de la commune de Cestas (où j'ai grandi) qui a été évacuée intégralement... Seulement 17000 habitants, mais c'est immense.

Un risque de la canicule auquel on ne pense pas : la température peut diminuer l'efficacité du tirage d'une chaudière gaz, voire provoquer une inversion. Mon détecteur de monoxyde de carbone en a détecté une ce weekend... Équipez-vous si ce n'est pas déjà le cas.

The Emmi AI acquisition comforts me in what I think Mistral is trying to achieve, and I it can be an incredible play if they do. Physics simulation is a very underestimated application for AI.

Controversial opinion: this is absurd and will result in either worse, more expensive phones, or just the good ones not being sold in the EU.

Starting February 18, 2027, smartphones and many portable devices sold in the EU must have batteries that users can remove and replace more easily. That means #Apple #Samsung #Google #Xiaomi etc may need to redesign future devices to meet the new rules www.business-standard.com/technology/t...

OK, actually it looks like IP67 devices with batteries that retain 80% capacity after 1000 cycles are exempt. In other words: selling good phones is still legal :) so that's fine.

Bonjour à tous.tes Nous avons l'indicible douleur de vous faire part du décès de Séverine Erhel, survenu ce lundi 13 avril 2026 à Rennes. (information diffusée à la demande / avec l'autorisation de la famille)

Controversial opinion: with how good AI has gotten, as an industry it's probably time to stop focusing on Web / application accessibility on the provider end (Sisyphean task) and switch to building great assistive tech on the client end.

Current free agentic coding setup: pi + GLM-5 on OpenCode Zen. I still use Amp too but the free credits don't last long so I keep it for the harder parts.

Several of the best engineers I know have joined the performance teams of Anthropic and OpenAI. They are probably part of the few teams with the highest concentration of talent in the world by now.

I wrote this in April, before Claude Code and Codex. Now I am changing my mind: The Carpenter can indeed just ask for a nice table.
