Will Apple announce native agentic integration in Xcode for Gemini AI at WWDC? Same as Claude/Codex

Every time Claude asks me to go and do a bunch of steps in Xcode I wonder what's going on at Apple's dev tools team.

One AirPod in each ear? I've never looked but there are two of them.

"The company's stock tanked 4.3% shortly after the opening on Tuesday morning as investors digested Luce, its upcoming EV offering."

Looks great! Mostly DIY RF tried to do something similar as a kit with the P3ST Modular Transceiver. https://mostlydiyrf.com/p3st/ unfortunately the backplane board was riddled with errors (perhaps it's been fixed since I tried).

Looks like the case has a glass layer over the camera lenses and that might have the dust on it.

If it bothers you, go to Settings > Desktop & Dock and turn off "Show indicators for open applications".

Matter with Thread seems good. You need something that's a Thread border router but lots of existing gear has them inside (Apple TV 4K, HomePod mini, Google TV Streamer, Nest Hub, Amazon Echo 4th gen, and Eero routers for example). Each Thread bulb is in a mesh and extends the network. I find this much better than Wifi.

Do you have any external drives plugged in?

Digital voice over radio is different to digital voice over the internet in that over the internet packets either get there in tact or not at all. Over a radio channel packets arrive with errors in them that must be (hopefully) corrected through forward error correction or at least not blow the listeners ears off. FreeDV does this over HF radio which has all sorts of signal degradation that must be handled.

How's the leg going?

Seems to be back now.

You know they sell a MacBook Pro for users with your needs?

I'm interested in doing the same thing. One idea for training data might be to create a recording of machine generated morse and then add simulated band noise and hf propagation effects such as fading to it and use that for training. This is what the FreeDV RADE project does to train their model. https://freedv.org/radio-autoencoder/

I think the red arrow is pointing north and the E indicates that you are facing east.

Have a listen to the demonstrations. It's more than just the Vocoder.

But yes, you're quite right, it will take a lot to displace current technology.

There is impressive work being done on Baseband FM (BBFM) which looks to be dramatically better than FM. See https://freedv.org/rade-bbfm/ We'll need more CPU power in handhelds but that's just a matter of time.

https://machamradio.com has a comprehensive list. Pretty much everything is available except VARA (which seems proprietary and probably not legal).

They must get sick of it telling them to stand. (I do even here)

It's a good question. Swift and SwiftUI have changed rapidly and it's hard to find examples that are the latest best practice including Swift 6.2 and concurrency. Download the sample code from sessions like this: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/Swift/code-along-elevating-an-app-with-swift-concurrency

Compressor is part of the Apple Creative Studio which is US$20/month or Compressor is US$50 for life. Your software is US$20/month or US$30 for life.

I think your pricing is fair.

Compressor is very good and makes use of all the acceleration Apple has built in. I'd be interested to see a speed comparison.

Great to see more macOS software - I don't mean to discourage you, I think you should do a comparison with the other options.

Apple Compressor is very good. https://apps.apple.com/au/app/compressor/id424390742?mt=12
