Use Mimestream. It's wonderful and GMail-backend-only fully native Mac App by one of the former lead engineers of the Apple Mail app.

I can (barely, but sustainably) run Q3.5 397B on my Mac Studio with 256GB unified. It cost $10,000 but that's well within reach for most people who are here, I expect.

They already got swiss-cheesed by DOGE though.

They likely saw you as a narc.

The law is just an annoying thing getting in the way of our profits.

Porn, for one.

And when you turn it down, people freak the F out because you lobotomized their "friend".

The market, for consumers, will flock to whatever products surge their neurotransmitters the most. This is the bull case for Anthropic (who are serving business with alternative success metrics) and bear for OpenAI who seem (with all their hiring of Meta execs) to want to go for the masses, who have no objective function for product selection beyond "I like it".

I made some camera and GPU-heavy features in the Facebook and Instagram app in ObjC++, and yes, it was nice to have that impedance match.

I don't work there anymore, I wonder if they're using the C++ - Swift interop that now exists.

When I was writing apps at Apple for the low-integer-version-numbered iOSes, this is what we typically did (since we had a single-core CPU in the MHz and <1GB).

UI shell in UIKit Obj-C, over a C++ or CoreFoundation (C) business layer, talking directly to sqlite.

I haven't seen the source of Apple apps and frameworks in over 10 years now, but I hope for their sake a lot of it has moved to Swift by now.

If I were CFed I'd mandate 2026 as the Year of Claude Code Radar Burndown. Their backlogs are insane and Apple actually addresses maybe 5% of what it knows to be wrong in a given year. Make it 2% when a UI Refresh is mandated.

Unless you had a prototype.

Hello.

(I'm not aware of anyone doing this, but GDM is quite info-siloed these days, so my lack of knowledge is not evidence it's not happening)

Thats one dimension before another long term milestone: Realtime generation of 3D mesh content during gameplay.

Which is the "left brain" approach vs the "right brain" approach of coming at dynamic videogames from the diffusion model direction which the Gemini Genie thing seems to be about.

You never travel with a snack fish for later on? He's going to be burning calories.

More wires and jumpers on the breadboard.

Yes, this looks like O(1) actions, where before, its likely that harnesses are ingesting and outputting huge portions of the source files for each step, and the local uses of str_replace() are themselves O(N) on the users computer. The excess reads and writes from the LLM are O(N^2).

Given that you're likely in San Francisco, make sure you say "AI Harness".

"In the pipe, five by five."

People always considered "The AI that improves itself" to be a defining moment of The Singularity.

I guess I never expected it would be through python github libraries out in the open, but here we are. LLMs can reason with "I want to do X, but I can't do X. Until I rewrite my own library to do X." This is happening now, with OpenClaw.

I appreciate that you wrote this, it's a take on this issue I've been thinking about from the perspective that I was looking for.

It's literal, since 50% of the "discourse" on politics has been computer-generated by adversarial nation-state-actors for nearly 10 years now.

I genuinely believe that all open source projects with restrictive or commercially-unviable licenses will be cloned by LLM translation in the next few years. Since the courts are finding that its OK for GenAI to interpret copyrighted works of art and fiction in their outputs, surely that means the end of legal protection for source code as well.

"Rewrite of this project in rust via HelperBot" also means you get a "clean room" version since no human mind was influenced in its creation.

Where do you think those model weights came from?

This kind of bullshit rhetoric has been well honed by human bullshit experts for many years. They call it charisma or engagement-maxxing. They used to charge eachother $10,000 for seminars on how to master it.

Having read Apple's git contents, Claude vibecoded results would be a massive improvement to their code-quality.

They might even have .... a test.

I don't think the amount of ship that it touched imparted much of a momentum vector for a thing of that mass.

I'm genuinely so worried for the current crop of kids.

Sounds like Brazil.

\> kill dragon

-bash: kill: dragon: arguments must be process or job IDs

\> sudo kill dragon

-bash: Congratulations! You have just vanquished a dragon with your bare hands!

And spend $600 in Anthropic credits to do so.

I, for one, support this kind of meta philosophical poetic reflection on our current times.

"You must always take two steps forward, for when you are off the clock, your adversary will take one step back."

See, now this comment actually made me fucking laugh.
