They used to support that. Isn’t possible to do unified memory in those configurations? If not, then I expect it’s a headache Apple does not want to deal with. For example, earlier versions of Metal have unified/discrete memory modes w

I've always used em-dash. I got familiar with the hotkeys when I started using Mac OS X in 2002. Option+Hyphen for en-dash, Option+Shift+Hyphen for em-dash. It's unfortunate that it's an LLM tell. I'm glad the LLMs haven

I stopped reading almost immediately. The stylistic choices in the writing just felt like LLM to me. Examples: "depth estimation that beats PyTorch on CPU in half the memory" — "…beats X in Y…" "Most LocalAI backend

SwiftUI has a lot of failings, but it can also do a lot of things that are really tricky in UIKit. I can render Metal shaders trivially in SwiftUI. Rendering glows, and blurs, and animated effects is much easier in SwiftUI than in UIKit, ju

It’s incredible some of the little details in LEGO instructions. My son and I were assembling a set, and one of the corner pieces was strangely absent. My son asked, “why can’t we put this piece in yet?” The answer came when we turned the p

Their docs seem entirely LLM written. It seems especially obvious in the FAQ. While I'm not against using LLMs for writing assistance, they've left a lot of the unnecessary language and typical stylistic choices in there, which er

There are a lot of ways that AI speeds up software development processes that aren't the actual software development. I am finding that lately I do not allow LLMs to write any code I am interested in maintaining. Or if they do, I have

To repurpose a quote from Walt Disney, I don’t make software to make money, I make money to make more software. I want my hobby project to be my job, because I don’t want to work for someone else. I want creative control, freedom to explore

I always wondered how this compares to the 1999 algorithm Texture Synthesis by Non-parametric Sampling [1]. The results look very similar to my eyes. Implementation here [2] — has anyone tried both? [1] https://www2.eecs.berkeley

I was unclear. I meant it's not difficult to feel nurturing towards them and form a bond. That's what I thought the OP meant about being difficult.

Woah. As an adult man with five kids, two of them infants, the most natural thing in the world is for them to be present in almost every second of my life. It’s not difficult at all. Minutes after birth, naked baby was on my naked chest, an

We had a contention between MCP / Skills for our product and ended up offering both. We built a CLI tool that could interface with the MCP server [1]. It seems redundant but our app is a coding app on iOS (Codea), and the issue with of

I had Opus 4.6 running on a backend bug for hours. It got nowhere. Turned out the problem was in AWS X-ray swizzling the fetch method and not handling the same argument types as the original, which led to cryptic errors. I had Opus 4.6 tell

The example given in the article is acceptance criteria for a login/password entry flow. This is fairly easy to spec-out in terms of AC and TDD. I have been asking these tools to build other types of projects where it (seems?) much mor

That's a pretty extreme take. I've been using the Mac since about 2001. I like Tahoe and a well designed Tahoe app can look really nice on the platform. There are bugs, inconsistencies and other issues, but it doesn't feel th

I believe you can do regular hard edged intersections. You can see in his operator list some are listed as “smoothSubtract” and some are just “subtract” It’s just easy to do the melding thing with SDFs so a lot of people do it
