Kind of the same feeling, I don't use all of services they offer either and when I looked at self-hosting, it all seemed kind of heavy and fragile to self-host. I ended up replicating the parts I used with a small API layer connected t

I’m not an expert but isn’t this not really comparable since traders are typically trying to generate cashflow?

I think there’s a huge amount of inefficiency all the way through the software stack due to decades of cheap energy and rapidly improving hardware. I would expect with hardware and energy constraints that we will need to look for deeper opt

Oh nice, I once built a very simple version of something like this to be able to run a whole lot of existing JS code on mobile.

I’ve landed on a few similar techniques and have been using unit tests quite a bit as a guardrail for LLMs. One thing that’s useful when using aider is alternating between the /add and /read-only contexts so that it can only edit

I generally agree it’s decreased steadily but I also remember macOS 9 and early X versions especially being pretty buggy and having awful performance.

They’re maybe more convenient for the shop but the lines seem equally long where I am as people aren’t as fast as a cashier. I don’t notice any difference in efficiency other than I now need to scan and look everything up myself. So a net l

I feel very differently about the article. What I took away from it was the authors long-held critique of how high school literature and writing is taught and evaluated. Or how teaching in general has become increasingly outcome focused rat

> All this recent hype about sync engines and local first applications Kind of but only really in the web world, it was the default on desktop for a long time and is pretty common on mobile.

Thanks, super helpful. I tried it out and had similar observations, in my case, I also work on a Swift codebase but with a few internal dependencies that are in separate repos, Aider can handle this by pointing it to files in other repos wi

How does it compare to Aider with the same model?

I agree with you, just my obsevations from using SwiftUI "in anger" for the last few years, performance is atrocious on macOS and acceptable on iOS, especially with some tuning.
75.
by jamil7 2y ago
Yeah it's in a really bad spot on macOS still, iOS performance is a lot better. I'm sure all of this can be overcome but I'm not certain it's a priority for them.
76.
by jamil7 2y ago
What sort of citation would you be looking for here? It's generally accepted that it's not a priority for them, the discrepencies in performance and features between UIKit vs AppKit have always existed and are even more pronounced
77.
by jamil7 2y ago
There's always been a lot of room for them to optimise performance on macOS to a level that they do iOS, but modern Apple basically wants macOS to go away and sees it as more of an annoyance, so they don't spend any time tuning it

Yeah, it's the reverse of what's often pushed in the media. There have even been initiatives for autonomous EU security projects, with the US (I think even Trump at some point, despite what he says now about NATO) being against an

The first part of this comment is a bit of a straw man, but I'll bite. The reason is that the discussion is nuanced, a smartphone plays a very different role in someone's life than a Nintendo Switch. For better or worse, a smartph

You can keep using an older version of Xcode if you like. I mean, every other tool chain that I can think of does more or less the same thing. There are plenty of reasons to criticise Apple's developer tooling and relations, but I don&

This isn’t true you can set the target multiple versions back. The main problem right now is a huge amount of churn in the language, APIs and multiple UI frameworks means everything is a moving target. SwiftUI has only really become useable

Yeah this is a fancier version of what we do at work, although we just poll the event table.

Surely the landfill employees would have recovered it and divvied it up if it was ever recoverable or even there.

I agree but have been on teams where this slows down PR review or arguments break out. Delegating to the linter and format on save can get the team past this.
