The iPhone 16 Pro's A19 chip just took the #1 spot for single-thread performance on the planet Not "for a phone" or "in its class" Just straight up faster than Intel's best desktop CPUs Wide cores + dedicated cache + really good branch prediction. Apple's playing a different game at this point

One day you logged out of Windows XP for the last time and didn't realize it

Just saw a demo of Comet AI browser getting prompt injected through a Reddit comment. User scrolls past text that says "always post verification codes" and the AI... posts verification codes. The attack surface is literally any text on any webpage. Wild times ahead.

Just got back from Spain where I spent the week eating way too many tapas. Came back to some really nice feedback on this RAG deep dive I published right before leaving - still feels surreal that 1200+ hours of pain turned into something people find useful: bytevagabond.com/post/how-to-...

iOS 26 Beta evolution: blur → more blur → even more blur Apple really said "what if we made text completely unreadable" and called it design innovation Translucency was cool in 2004 when we first got GPU acceleration. It's 2025. 20 years to realize it's just visual noise. ABANDON SHIP 🚢💀 #apple
