Yeah I was primarily speaking about the LLM part, as apple is doing that (smaller LLM models will handle simpler tasks on device and hand over to cloud when necessary + apps will be able to efficiently deliver fine-tuned LORAs for the alrea

So, if I understand correctly this “built-in” Gemini is 100% just calling to the Gemini cloud backend? Honestly, Apple Intelligence is looking much better than this. But I suppose it’s no wonder, I don’t think Pixels are a large market fo

Yeah, the videos and projects here are excellent.

Agreed. Having a passing knowledge of many languages is of course easy (even being moderately productive with them, esp. with Copilot now), but knowing the ins and outs of a language and its ecosystem is a very nontrivial time investment. T

Yeah, this. It's just good enough for 95% of use-cases, while being very productive. Personally, one of the biggest selling points for me is that imo modelling concurrency and asynchronicity via fibers (goroutines), rather than async&#

Yes! And books. Importantly, I want it to be a verbatim reading and mention e.g. in-between sections that "it's now reading an info box", or describe a picture, etc. I tried this by getting Claude to write the text (based o

> Whatever, async/await is no replacement for parallel programming with threads. Is it not for the vast majority of use-cases? Sure, you can use async/await without parallelism, via a single-threaded runtime to just get single-

Totally agreed on that. What I hope will happen is that they will be part of building that ecosystem.

Found an interesting article about the internals of async specifically[0], also the docs[1]. TLDR: Seems like it uses a global thread pool, where each async method call yields to the runtime. Additionally, you get actors which are special c

Honestly, Swift seems like such a nice language. Most of the performance and power, great interop, but more directed at application development than Rust (with e.g. refcounting being the default). But as they say, you choose a language for

I think the parent wasn’t suggesting this. I think that they suggested that in many strength-oriented disciplines biological women with the most masculine features (e.g. high testosterone level) will win.

iirc whisper-diarization uses whisperx under the hood. I’ll be honest, I haven’t dived much into this as I just needed something transcribed quickly, but when I was looking at WhisperX I couldn’t find a CLI that would just out of the box gi

Ah, that will be fun to get back to! Only pity is it's not available for mobile - the first game was perfect on an iPad with touch as the input method.

The author mentions that this was the inspiration for the question, and called it more a gardening robot, while they’re looking for something that works at a larger (medium) scale.

For those curious, I found this article[0] going into the details, differences, and interactions between them. TLDR: the Gulf Stream originates from a very different phenomenon than the AMOC and is not at risk of collapse. A small part of t

They’re planning to update it to use on-device models, their “private compute” models, and optionally for certain prompts (with explicit user approval) OpenAI models. This is not directly in contradiction to what you said, but I feel like t

I think you missed the part that ChatGPT is completely optional in Apple’s architecture. You have to explicitly allow ChatGPT per-prompt if you want to use it. The primary models are on-device and their “private compute“. Importantly, I hav

Sure, they’re taking their time. I’ve read through Apple’s Intelligence architecture and I liked what I saw (context graph on device; how the integrations work; if doing remote inference only sending the relevant parts; the architecture of

Apple has announced basically this on WWDC two months ago (Apple Intelligence), with a multi-tier architecture (on-device, private Apple compute, 3rd party models), a ton of integrations, and a focus on privacy. My main problem with startup

Rust doesn’t model IO in terms of types though, does it? Sure, an async function likely does IO, but maybe it’s just receiving from a channel? At the same time 90% (completely made up number) of Rust just does plain blocking IO and you abso

To be fair, they have a very long history of open-sourcing internal software, and it becoming industry standards, this is not at all new, as some have been saying. Especially so in database technology: rocksdb, zstd compression, presto, Cas

> since it's mostly a rant about callback-based concurrency which everyone agree it sucks It really isn’t, it’s a rant about there being two worlds (colors) of functions - async and not async, which don’t compose that well together.

Yeah that’s fair, you only target it, but would have an ad-hoc internal IR of your own making for optimizations.

At the compiler’s course in my university we just had the option to use either LLVM text format as the target, or assembly (for bonus points). Frankly, I don’t see much point in a “special IR for teaching” because llvm text format is just r

The greenery is a spectrum of course, depending on how close to the very center of the city you are. I never had big problems with busses, but trams are good too, and I generally prefer them. I disagree with it not being walkable somewhere

As a person who lives here - I can say Warsaw is a great city to live in. I’ve considered many destinations for emigrating and in the end decided to stay. Anecdotally, so did many others I know. Green, walkable, clean, good public transport

Fwiw (and this is meant to be strictly factual, not a political statement) this is pretty normal in European democracies. Take e.g. Poland where actually both the president as well as all members of the parliament (corresponds to your congr
