## Worth attention

- **Apple Foundation Models — Claude integration documentation**
  https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/cli-sdks-libraries/libraries/apple-foundation-models
  Anthropic has published official documentation for integrating Claude with Apple Foundation Models. This enables developers building on Apple platforms to combine Claude's capabilities with Apple's on-device models, relevant for hybrid cloud/on-device architectures and native Apple app development with AI features.
- **The only scalable delete in Postgres is DROP TABLE**
  https://planetscale.com/blog/the-only-scalable-delete
  PlanetScale explores why large-scale DELETEs in Postgres are fundamentally slow due to MVCC, vacuum pressure, and index maintenance. Recommends partition-based table rotation (create new partition, DROP old one) as the only truly scalable delete pattern. Directly applicable to anyone managing growing Postgres tables.
- **Why AI hasn't replaced software engineers, and won't**
  https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jun/14/why-ai-hasnt-replaced-software-engineers/#atom-everything
  Narayanan and Kapoor analyze AI job displacement through the lens of software engineering. Key data point: NY's first year of WARN Act AI disclosure produced zero AI-related layoff filings. They argue AI speeds up coding but the bottleneck is understanding requirements and systems, which AI doesn't solve. Credible authors with a data-driven argument.
- **Curl will not accept vulnerability reports during July 2026**
  https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2026/06/15/curl-summer-of-bliss/
  Daniel Stenberg announced curl's 'summer of bliss' — the project will not accept or process vulnerability reports during July 2026 to give maintainers a break. If you discover a curl security issue in July, disclosure will be delayed until August.
- **Show HN: Kage — Shadow any website to a single binary for offline viewing**
  https://github.com/tamnd/kage
  Open source tool that captures a website and packages it into a single self-contained binary for offline viewing. Could be useful for archiving documentation, creating offline-first tools, or building portable reference materials.
- **I indexed 669 GB of my GoPro videos using my M1 Max computer and local ML models**
  https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48528029
  A developer built a local ML pipeline on M1 Max to index 2,207 GoPro videos using open-source models. Demonstrates practical local ML video indexing on Apple Silicon, relevant to on-device AI workflows.
