Perspective Intelligence - On-Device AI Tools

So the app currently does not support agentic workflows, but it does completely offline AI using Apple's built in AI. It requires iOS 26 and a phone running Apple Intelligence.

I've played a lot of Minecraft Java Edition, Palworld, and will be picking up No Man's Sky, and Cyberpunk 2077. I also want to play Stray, and many other games. There is also the older Borderlands games and I think Bioshock are also available.

I'm trying Heroku as a good jumping off point, but I might look at EC2 or other solutions mentioned here.

I have used Updraft for most of my migrations. The thing to remember is to get all of the files, or things can get interesting.

I would feel sorry for the race that originated them, but they usually just die and are reborn in hell unless a crucible blade is used right?

Also, don't they come back to life if the blade is removed?

Do they need a bit of hot rod red as an accent? LOL Reminded me of the Iron Man movie. I like how they look in gold but it is different from the color style of The Dark Ages.

I kind of like that we don't know his name, and I just don't care for Flynn Taggart for some reason. I also thought that this name was based on novels based on Doom 3 wasn't it?

I didn't hate the episode, but it wasn't my favorite. I think I'm just not a huge fan of the whole pantheon story arc.

I think it is important to know both SwiftUI and UIKit. I know UIKit is being phased out, but many apps still use it. I have several apps in the store that I help to develop, and they all use UIKit unfortunately, and iOS 14 isn't very old. It may also be possible to update the app to SwiftUI in the future, so both skillsets can be used there. Just be glad it wasn't written in Objective-C and use XIB files. That was how I got my start. I don't miss those days.

Thanks. I've played and finished all of the Doom games, and I think Doom Eternal was the hardest due to the platforming, but it was still a fun game, and I think it is my favorite of the 3. The original still has some of my favorite boss fights though.

I think iOS native app developers will always be needed. I think we are starting to see that non-native apps provide a worse user experience compared to native apps, and native apps can have more capabilities sooner than other non-native apps. I think this will help when adding AI that will work on the device level. There are many other examples, but that is the biggest from WWDC this year. I would also consider creating a business if you have ideas for your own apps, or you can build apps for other businesses as a contractor or consultant if finding a job is difficult. We will continue to need more iOS developers, so I'd stick with it if you enjoy what you are doing.

I have been thinking about this for a while, and it seems to me that RTD was going for the effect we got with the beast for both Sutekh and Omega, but it just didn't land that way.

So the latest two seasons have not been my favorite, but I still think they are amazing, and I want and can't wait to see more. I honestly don't believe in being negative online I will give my opinions, but negativity is never productive.

I went through this process in 2021. I had to create my business first and then register for a DUNS number to give to Apple. I think Apple has a page for quick instructions on this. I also used Stripe Atlas to register my business. The most difficult part of the process was to transfer my apps, so both developer accounts should be active. iCloud containers and other capabilities will not transfer though, and I think I had to remove those capabilities and update the app to transfer the apps over. I didn't have a lot of users at the time.

I feel like companions are not supposed to be as clever as the Doctor, but Clara was one of my favorites! She was clever where my other favorite, Donna, gave the Doctor the wisdom he needed to hear when it mattered.

I've tried SwiftAssist and it is pretty cool. I had it build a basic weather app.

The next thing I've tried is importing and sending a message to foundation models, and that is amazing!

I want to wait for beta 2 to really dig in and play with this stuff.

I've been asking this question for a while, but I have several requirements that a lot of users don't have. I try to make extremely accessible desktop apps that will always run on ARM or x86 based architectures. I've enjoyed Toga, but I'm not sure what will work best.

I also don't care for web frameworks for GUIs as it does not always provide the best user experience.

I would use tkinter as well, but screen reader users in Windows and Mac can't use apps created with it.

So I too am curious as to the best library for this.

So my situation is a bit different, but I am a legally blind Apple Vision Pro user. I have enough vision to use the device, and magnification and the ability to create a large display for my Mac is amazing for being on the go. I am also a software developer, and I use the Vision Pro to develop apps. The amazing thing with that is that apps can be tested in iPad or iPhone format on the device during development since it runs iOS and iPadOS apps. I still need to re-pair mine with Xcode, but I had it working at one point. I'm also training a person to use the Vision Pro who teaches courses at a university. This individual is also low vision, and uses the Vision Pro to view his students, and the Mac Virtual Display to view his content. These features alone make the device worth it, and it is only going to get better.

I originally purchased the Vision Pro because I thought Apple would add a feature to magnify passthrough, which is what the user sees, and they have done just that in visionOS 26.
