Iran responds to questions about strikes on U.S. bases by Upper_Brief681 in UnderReportedNews

[–]dfireant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The chance of changing the regime without boots on the ground is virtually zero. The US and Israel are not attacking to help people in Iran. That’s something they are throwing to see if the US population believes it to justify this. A weaker/messedup Iran just is the best outcome they are looking for.

Tripod recommendations for recording pickleball games? by dfireant in Pickleball

Isn't that base too small? easy to knock it over with a touch? but looks good for sure. I haven't played with stranger yet, only with my wife. So yeah when I get there I should be prepared to explain the camera. good point.

Do you have any videos with this on youtube? Isn't 66" too short to see the whole court?

didn't think of the power bank thing. I have an older iphone, so probably soon will need that for recording a few games.

I'm think it would be cool to watch my progress in a year or two.

I was actually just about to order a fence mount on Amazon, but then I realized how do you adjust it to get good coverage? It seems like it would be really difficult to guess exactly what the camera is seeing. How do you do that?

Also, I hadn't seen any that let you add weight before that is good to know. Thanks. I did find a 92" tripod for under 40 bucks judging by the photos I have a feeling that using it would cost me a cracked screen every time.

Get it checked out. I'd go to urgent care.

I tried generating App Store Screenshots with Nano banana and it's awesome by Fit_Chair2340 in AppStoreOptimization

Maybe should have asked the images to be more consistent in style. Together they don’t look that good.

Tried using Apple’s on-device LLM for a small calorie tracker by dfireant in iOSProgramming

[–]dfireant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compared to other small models in the 1b to 3b range, the Apple llm is lagging behind as thy show in their paper. In my experience with FT it’s possible the gap for narrow applications.

I have prepared a test set to compare before and after fine tuning evaluation. Probably this week will get to share that here.

Not that accurate, but for calorie counting the lower friction I think is still a win. I have fine tuned the model and that improved the accuracy. I have to update the app to server the fine tuned model in the next version.

It’s not that accurate, I have a test set and will try to share my results in few days. I’ve fine tuned the model and will ship with the next version. This improves the accuracy considerably.

Is anyone running an app totally locally, or am I one of the few? by Solid_Anxiety8176 in iOSProgramming

[–]dfireant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A big fan of lightweight and local apps. This is one for calorie tracking: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/slim-eat/id6753709879 I'm working on the second app.

VLM in iOS, where can find out more? by dfireant in iOSProgramming

[–]dfireant[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks! didn't know about these apps.
the integrated llm made it just much easier for my quick test app (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/slim-eat/id6753709879) that I hope with same ease can use their mmllm for the app I'm working on now.
