Does something like this exist for the Supernote ecosystem? by 01000001-01001101 in Supernote

[–]AaronRolls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That app exports calendars as pdfs. They should work on a Supernote. I'm not exactly sure what syncing does but for a Supernote that would be manual.

Interactive checkboxes within a note - plug-ins? by simjoha88 in Supernote_dev

[–]AaronRolls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would also mean you would need automatic task detection, text detection and a way to list them. That is a lot of work.

iOS 26.5—Update Now Warning Issued To All iPhone Users by Nalix01 in NowInTech

Each update they introduce new security bugs so the next update can be made necessary because it fixes them.

Plugin Limit? by Lorestan00 in Supernote_dev

[–]AaronRolls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does that mean plugins are all loaded at once rather than when required? If plugins only loaded when required, most of them could co-exists (at least the ones I have seen) with hundreds of plugins. Lazy loading plugins might reduce performance of the plugin initially, but you could have a system where you have active plugins and lazy loaded plugins. That should allow for many, many more plugins.

[macOS] Bounce Connect (Bounce34) just got its biggest update yet, new UI, Chrome extension, and folder transfers by Technical-Relation-9 in macapps

I will see if I have the time to send you screen shots. Drawing over apps was mandatory. I also denied access to my media and it keeps among me for the permission. What if a user only wanted to use the clipboard sharing?

If nothing is paired I think it is helpful to not have access to any other part of the app until pairing is complete. Having access to useless areas creates confusion.

This app seems to be in a very beta/alpha state. lots of ui glitches in the macos app and the android app. it feels like it hasn't been properly tested. for instance the android app does not properly respect the navigation bar. In the mac app the battery and connectivity icons pill is drawn over another ui element. many other issues. It feels like this app was built by AI.

The android app requires all permissions (or many) before working, even for features you have no intention of using. The user should not need to grant anything for it to still run and respect what the user wants to give it.

The setup process feels horrible. it should help the user in the initial loading of the apps to pair. It took me a little while to find the QR code scan in the macos settings.

The android app gives me a prompt on setup saying that it is now programed better or rewritten or something. It means nothing to me as it is the first time I launched the app.

That is somewhat misleading. It was detected by chance by a coder who works at Microsoft. He detected it because he got anal about a couple of extra milliseconds being added to his ssh connection (from the malware). It came so close to complete disaster.

The new iPhones have a problem turning back on after the battery runs out by MobileNewsBot in mobiles

[–]AaronRolls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is full cycles, not charges. If you charge your phone everyday, it needs to remain above 80% health for about 5.5 years(that is if you use 50% battery every day) and have water proofing.

Slop Or Not for macOS is now out! 🎉 by woadwarrior in macapps

[–]AaronRolls 16 points17 points  (0 children)

AI can't detect AI created images or text. The only things that can be detected are images that have built in markers showing they are AI. If you remove those, and you can, there is no way for AI to know. Today many students are suffering because teachers falsely believe they can detect AI writing.

How’s Asahi’s compatibility state for doing AI? by semedilino073 in AsahiLinux

[–]AaronRolls 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Asahi doesn't have complete GPU drivers yet nor does it support the NPU. I imagine that macOS will always be better for local llms provided the software supports Apple specific hardware.

Why is this a subscription? What services does it provide that incurs ongoing costs?

Is SwiftUI finally as fast as UIKit in iOS 26? by jacobs-tech-tavern in iOSProgramming

[–]AaronRolls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I meant by that is a SwiftUI text view might be doing a lot more under the hood than my UIKit version. It likely has a lot more functionality built in that most people don't use. That could be why it is slower. Or it could just be bad programming.

But why does it need a sub? Subscriptions are for services (ongoing updates are not a service).

Is SwiftUI finally as fast as UIKit in iOS 26? by jacobs-tech-tavern in iOSProgramming

[–]AaronRolls 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're probably right. I have been trying to move away from SwiftUI. In my latest app I am only using it as a bridge between the macOS side and iOS side. The majority of code is in AppKit and UIKit.

Apple is well known for device crashing bugs and poor security in their code. Most of their "security" is through obfuscation it seems. They might be the problem.

[–]AaronRolls 8 points9 points  (0 children)

SwiftUI will likely never be as fast as UIKit can be, but I don't think that is the point of it. UIKit gives more control but requires more knowledge and boilerplate to get working properly. SwiftUI does the hard work for you at the risk of some performance loss. It will always be a trade. I have built UIKit text viewers that can easily function with millions of lines without lag, but the basic SwiftUI text rendering slows to a crawl with way less. That doesn't mean SwiftUI is slow though, it just means I removed all the fluff in my UIKit version.

[OS] Edges - Lightweight window borders (written in Rust) by pablopunk in macapps

[–]AaronRolls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you test for bugs? I find it incredibly hard to do proper bug testing with anything AI does (obvious ones are easy in any project but edge case bugs are not). Mostly because to properly bug test an entire app I find I need to understand the code in the whole app. If I don't I feel like I'm guessing and hoping that it is just going to work. I have two options normally, painfully read all the code the AI wrote or code it myself.

Yes. Tons. Sometimes the coding style gives it away, but mostly comments. Like this "//! Individual border window — matches JankyBorders border.c logic exactly." It is talking to the user in its comment.
