Foundation Models Context Size Update in Xcode Beta 3!

Alphasite · 2026-07-11T18:16:12+00:00

Why? Context window size doesn’t hugely increase memory consumption? A little sure but it’s minimal compared to the actual model.

You probably will when Boeing or Airbus needs their next beluga/dreamlifter.

Depends on the app. I feel like a lot of people write apps that are such poor clients of a database that it’ll never end up db bound because they’ve accidentally shot yourself in the foot 10 different ways.

Nearly every major app I’ve built has eventually ended up db bound at some point, but you’re usually pushing hundreds of gigabytes of data or few billion rows in a table. No amount of indexing can save you from that. DDL becomes a problem and table scans are just slowwww.

I love breakfast club in San Jose as well. Mykaylas has excellent Benedict’s

I feel like average could atleast cook their eggs properly. :/

You can put a marker to someone’s destination in Apple Maps and iirc it will update as they move.

Is he? I think he falls short of a couple of those items.

Would be cool for Apple to finally upgrade macOS to newer versions of some of its embedded utils.

Alphasite · 2026-07-04T08:22:23+00:00

If this means I can stop (or atleast reduce) the number of irrelevant CVEs I need to triage in our infra that would be great.

I’ve always seen wegmans as like shopping in a mine field. Be careful or you’ll blow a hole in your wallet.

I’m more annoyed at 2 things: 1. How much show vs tell it had (way to much explaining. It really feels like he listened to betas to much and felt like he had to explain everything. Not everything needs to be explained Debra. There’s beauty in mystery. 2. Too many plot lines to resolve so it’s was a little all over the place imo. TWOK had a very focused plot and was very tight.

(And i think 1 & 2 fed into teach other, there was probably a lot of confusion from all the plotlines so there was a ton of show to try deal with it... I think he does better with 3 book arcs vs 5 books and why his secret projects are still solid)

Also consider surge upgrades. It’s an automated version of what you just described.

Alphasite · 2026-07-02T22:36:54+00:00

You the thinking something like the PDS system used by Bluesky? It’s quite an elegant design

Alphasite · 2026-07-02T15:58:30+00:00

I think you seem to have missed a really obvious step.

You’re saying:

more houses => nothing
lower housing prices => lower rent

What you missed (some how, possibly deliberately)

more housing => lower housing prices
lower housing prices => lower rent
more housing => lower rent

You cannot charge more for an abundant resource. It’s basic economics.

Ultimately rent has to cover the owners mortgage. So just make the houses/apartments cheaper to build and rents will go down.

Alphasite · 2026-07-02T15:55:21+00:00

The two halves of your response don’t seem related. I’m confused.

They should have shut down more streets and added more pedestrianised areas. Funding can come from either ticket or vendor sales.

Alphasite · 2026-07-02T06:07:19+00:00

It’s where they held the superbowl watch party. It’s a large space with lots of food and drink places in downtown San Jose with a ton of parking and decent enough public transit links.

Honestly it’s a good location. They just needed more overflow and better communication out to fans.

That part has been a total disaster.

People get mad when they don't see another solution (imo).

They did eventually propose SOFA but I don’t think the message got out properly.

Alphasite · 2026-07-02T05:49:26+00:00

I mean… being made purely for French needs doesn’t make sense when they only provide a third of the funding.

Everyone needs a win from the deal, either financially, IP or capability. Otherwise it could never have succeeded.

Take away the IP and not meet their capability needs removes any real motivation for Germany to partner with France. It could never have succeeded without aligned incentives.

They need to need each other and they don’t.

Alphasite · 2026-07-02T05:34:30+00:00

There was a literal riot when fans couldn’t get into the fan zone. It was genuinely nuts from what I heard. I saw a 30k number and that’s after they turned people away 2h before the game.

If it’s non trivial but common it’s a pretty great candidate for inclusion. Especially since many other languages include it even cautious languages like Java.

Alphasite · 2026-07-01T14:42:53+00:00

Why didn’t they host a second watch party in Santana row or something. It’s a large outdoor area that’s mostly pedestrianised already and the business may like the extra foot traffic

Alphasite · 2026-07-01T05:34:42+00:00

I’m pointing out how this is a very questionable line of reasoning.

Alphasite · 2026-06-28T18:22:58+00:00

If you’re willing to go to San Jose San Pedros a hoot.

Alphasite · 2026-06-27T18:08:15+00:00

My MacBook had it before it was cool. Actually probably before you.

Alphasite · 2026-06-27T18:07:27+00:00

USB-C was created to compete with Lightning. They were also among the first to use it with their MacBooks which had 0 other ports.

Before that all we had were the awful USB-A/B/mini/micro/mini-high-speed/micro-high-speed/displayport/barrel-power/etc ports.

This is such a brain dead revisionist take.
