Goole taking a page from Apple’s playbook.
- delfinom 3y agoI remember when Apple marketed swift as being xx times faster! In fine print, compared to python, lul.
- refulgentis 3y agoThis didn't happen
- tyrd12 3y agohttps://www.apple.com/in/swift/ https://www.apple.com/in/swift/ Upto 8.4x faster Than python
- refulgentis 3y agoClaim: "In fine print, compared to python," Reality: In bold call out: Up to 2.6X faster than Objective-C
- hu3 3y agoNot sure what your point is but Apple also claims up to 8.4x faster than Python: https://i.imgur.com/CZ6vTZV.png https://i.imgur.com/CZ6vTZV.png
- refulgentis 3y agoMy point is we shifted from "compared it to Python in fine print" to "compared it to Objective-C and Python in bold focused callout". People are jaded, we can argue that's actually the same thing, that's fine, but it is a very different situation.
- miohtama 3y agoAs a Python developer, I am happy that Apple mentions Python and acknowledge its existence.
- danielbln 3y agoAt least Apple really delivered with the Ax and Mx chips. Let's see if that pans out here as well.
- FdbkHb 3y agoIt's google, so probably not. Their claims should always be taken with a grain of salt. They went with their own stuff route for the SOC on their Google Pixel phone lines and those SOC are always much worse than the competition and are the main reason why those phones have such terrible battery life compared to Qualcomm powered phones.
- madeofpalk 3y agoAt least with Apple's Bezos charts usually there's fineprint that'll tell you which 3 year old pc laptop they're comparing it to.
