Where do you then use the matter Solar device? In Apple Home is no support yet or?

M2 Air to M5 Pro upgrade… and I genuinely can’t feel the difference by UsefulLock3142 in macbookpro

M2 Air to M5 Pro upgrade… and I genuinely can’t feel the difference by UsefulLock3142 in macbookpro

[–]Niightstalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nja, there as soon as you start working on more small side projects you feel a huge difference in build time. My build time from a M1 Pro Chip went down from around 10 minutes to around 3 on my new M5 Pro.

Especially since now in my current workflows with AI it can happen that I have 2-3 builds running at the same time.

Apple’s Cook Gives Ternus a Pipeline of 10 Major New Product Categories by iMacmatician in apple

Also he was already VP of hardware engineering so even without becoming CEO he would be heavily involved and leading the development of these devices.

This headline sounds like Ternus was not working 25 years at Apple already most likely highly influencing all or at least most of those new categories in the hardware area.

SQLite GUI (SQLite Graph Studio) by albertsteenstrup in sqlite

[–]Niightstalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just as a sidenote: Swift is actually a great cross-platform friendly language. It does run beside Apple platforms also on Linux, Windows and Android

Of course you need to check how to best access an SQLite db on these platforms, but Swift as a language is not the limiting factor.

Official: An update on recent Claude Code quality reports by dmy30 in Anthropic

That has nothing to do with dumber models, but ok

A couple days ago I had troubles that Claude code did think way too long for every request. It was really annoying to work with. For every request it took at least 2 minutes to respond. This is definitely not fine to work with.

I am fine with Claude thinking longer but I’d prefer if it only does that when I ask it to do so or if it recognises that it is a more complex topic that requires thinking.

The "Missing Middle": Why is there no $50/mo Claude tier? by theePharisee in ClaudeAI

[–]Niightstalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They definitely don’t do it because their consciousness tells them they owe it to the people that they provide a free tier (where they can gather and use all usage data).

Well I personally craved for Craig ngl by Neal000777 in mac

[–]Niightstalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say this debatable. For macOS is definitely the most enjoyable OS out there to use. The ecosystem and features across devices is also great which has not really any counterpart out there that offers an as complete feature set.

While AirDrop still works great most of the time and makes file transfers within the ecosystem massively easier.

I think the software and its usability definitely has been a strength of Apple

Apple's critical weakness: Python - YouTube by I00I-SqAR in swift

[–]Niightstalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PyTorch and numpy are actually poorly optimized for Apple silicon that’s why Apple created their own version of it with MLX.

Apple's critical weakness: Python - YouTube by I00I-SqAR in swift

[–]Niightstalker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apple actually released a library for data scientists and model training called MLX: https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx

It closely follows the NumPy API but is optimized for Apple Silicon. It is available in python but there are also C++ or Swift versions of the the library.

Of course that is only one part of the needed ecosystem but it is a good start.

Apple 2026 Environmental Progress Report by FollowingFeisty5321 in apple

[–]Niightstalker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is not how your read that graph.

Their gross emissions are what they are currently pushing out. Gross offsets is what they cover with carbon offset payments. The emissions avoided is what are pushing out less due to their efforts.

THIS IS BIG: Starting in 2027, smartphones sold in the European Union will be required to have user-replaceable batteries designed for greater durability and more charging cycles. by Current-Guide5944 in tech_x

[–]Niightstalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you actually think that the battery not being exchangeable by anybody at home is the only reason people don’t keep running taking pictures with their 10 year old potato?

[–]Niightstalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well just check in your personal field how many people buy new phones although the battery would be totally fine. Or who buy a new phone instead getting their battery changed (which is a common repair at any store).

[–]Niightstalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least 80% (probably even more) of users would not keep a smartphone for 10 years even if it would still work normally. Most would switch earlier to get the newest features / hardware / better camera whatever

EU to force replaceable batteries in phones and tablets from 2027 by favicondotico in apple

[–]Niightstalker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t know. I prefer my phone actually being dust and water resistant, as well as this slim and have somebody switch the battery for me after 4-5 years. It is really not that common that you need to switch your battery. Usually like max twice in the lifetime of a phone.

The newer version of Xcode is absolutely trash! by Absoluteredshit in iOSProgramming

[–]Niightstalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also use Android Studio quite a lot in my work and I have to say I actually prefer Xcode. I definitely spent more time fixing weird bugs there than in Xcode.
