New podcast with @bugarela.com on @ColorsofWeb3pod talking spec-driven development and how we benefit from precision and executability of specs, especially in the AI era. Why specs can't just be English and markdown↓
Quint, an executable specification language for reliable systems
Quint is an executable specification language. Write specs you can run, simulate, and verify, so subtle bugs get caught before reaching production.

The Emacsification of Software
We’re all reading a ton of Markdown. It’s been the lingua franca of software development since long before LLMs. But now agents have led us into a cursed renaissance of TUI tooling, and the reading experience has become intolerable. I’m certain that at least 14% of the agita about AI code is driven by exhaustion over incessantly scrolling terminal Markdown.

SWE-Bench Pro: Can AI Agents Solve Long-Horizon Software Engineering Tasks?
Large Language Model (LLM) agents have been widely adopted in modern software development workflows. SWE-bench [13] and related works [23, 24, 22, 25, 15] establish the task of issue resolution as a de-facto standard for assessing their capability and usefulness. In this setting, an agent is given an entire codebase, a task description (e.g., a bug report or feature request) in natural language and is instructed to produce a code patch that resolves the issue and passes the repository’s test suite. These benchmarks have been instrumental in demonstrating both the substantial potential and the persistent limitations of current models as SWE agents.

Apple's on-device SLM, while not as strong in simple multilingual tasks as Google's Gemma 3 4B (3.3GB, 5GB in memory), seems to outperform Qwen3 4B or Phi 4 mini reasoning. It's very very impressive, especially considering its extremely reduced size of around ~1.4GB— INIYSA (@lafaiel) June 10, 2025
\robotoslablightdots.tts Technical Report
Text-to-speech (TTS) systems have largely solved intelligibility on standard read-speech benchmarks. What users expect from a modern system is broader: expressive and controllable output, real-time synthesis, and coverage of neutral reading, emotional dialogue, paralinguistic events, singing, and general audio. Current systems pursue this goal along three roughly distinct technical routes, and each route has its own unresolved problem.

LLMs as Collaborators in Language Specification and Design (PLSS 2026) - SPLASH/ISSTA 2026
Workshop on Programming Language Standardization and Specification This workshop aims to foster cross-pollination between researchers and industry professionals with experience in programming language specification and standardization. It provides a forum where participants can share insights, case studies, and best practices, and collaboratively explore solutions to current challenges. The goal of the workshop is to improve the collective understanding of how programming languages are specified, standardized, and evolved in practice. The workshop examines specifications as the foundation ...

On March 29th, we held an in-person meeting to check in with the community and discuss potential updates to the standard.site spec. A huge thank you to @cozylittle.house for putting together a detailed summary of everything we discussed. leaflet.pub/p/did:plc:kydzcmnywraao2srchq…
