Apple’s Spatial Scene does again what Live Photos did for photos: adds another dimension to memories.

Only gripe: mirrors break the illusion. Reflections stay flat, glitching like a game whose graphics engine is just slightly off.

AI coding tools are the new LEGO for adults. They are so much fun, and have truly shortened the gratification loop for hobby projects!

(3/3) At the foundation are two levers: compute and the supply chain that feeds it—energy, water, bandwidth, silicon. Models will commoditize; differentiation shifts to orchestration, data, and the scale and efficiency of compute. In industrial-revolution terms, more compute is simply a larger labor force—only this time, the workers are digital.

(2/3) That moment marks the birth of an AI-native operating system—AIOS. The intelligence allocates and controls compute across local devices and the networked cloud. Interfaces stop being fixed artifacts. Each “OS” is generated for the person using it, shaped by their goals and the resources at hand—not by a handful of vendors or a static FOSS baseline. Hyper-local. Hyper-personal. Whatever the user needs, within what the system can supply.

(1/3) The era of live, fully AI-generated app experiences is close. You state an intent; the system comprehends it, plans the work, queries and fuses data from many sources, and responds in whatever form fits best—text, voice, visuals, or something new. Caching won’t just store outputs. It will preserve entire execution graphs: the plan, the data stitching, and the interface itself.

Meet Jottings: my tiny corner of the internet for quick thoughts. My own microblogging platform, if you will. No likes. No retweets. No trending hashtags. No algorithm trying to engage you. No performative threads. No strangers screaming into my timeline.

Just me, jotting down whatever crosses my mind. The only echo chamber here is my own—and I like it that way.

Think of it as my blog Musings' scrappy younger sibling—shorter, sharper, and with no filter.

What's even better is having a team of subagents on claude ranging from architects, product spec managers, specific technology exprts, debuggers, auditors, network engineers, and more, each specifically configured to use Opus or Sonnet based on need.
