@KrauseFx You should give @with_multi a shot, literally what you are asking for and more. We are loving it and I cannot recommend it enough. Best Mac app for remote teams.

@emergetools @DLX Ohh yeah, that was fairly unspecific. Particularly the playfulness of the first animation of the website reminded me a lot of the motion design language of Pow.

@simonw Following the de facto standard.

Being able to sense the edge of your capability and use titration to keep yourself at just the right balance of effort and comfort is an immeasurably useful meta-skill that applies to every type of growth.

These package-level APIs are pretty bloated, have messy dependencies and are in eager need of thorough revision. It’s apparent that they were not designed for use outside of Apple.

Some of SwiftPM’s code being open source is an incidental detail rather than evidence of a genuine commitment to an OSS ecosystem.

So declaring them as package-level only is just being modest. It’s a courtesy to spare external developers, like you, the frustration of attempting to build upon it.

“When you do something, you should do it with your whole body and mind; you should be concentrated on what you do. You should do it completely, like a good bonfire. You should not be a smoky fire. You should burn yourself completely. If you do not burn yourself completely, a trace of yourself will be left in what you do.” — Shunryu Suzuki

Took me years to understand this quote deeply and apply it to my work. I kept making stuff I hated and thought I wasn’t cut out for this or that. But the peace you get from this pride in your work — it doesn’t come from an egoic place at all. It comes from exhausting all the possibilities that came up during the creation process, exploring them all, thinking them through, applying the skills you have so you’re pushing up against their edges, to make the best thing you can make *at that time* with the resources you have and the skills you possess. To give your all and know that no corners were cut, and to put utmost care and attention into the details.

The times I’ve hated my work the most, it wasn’t because the work was actually bad. It was because I know I could have done better. I could tell I was living halfheartedly, and thus creating half-heartedly. It was a cowardly thing to do, and I can say that even with self-compassion, because the hardest person to lie to is always yourself. I might be able to fool others, they may say my work is good, they may offer me money for it. But I can never fool myself, because I know even when others don’t, when I am working at my own edge and when I am not. And working at my edge is the only way I can grow — as a person, and as a creative.

@KrauseFx @ChristianSelig Oh wow, getting the X-T5 here. Hey fuji fam! 👋

As part of our goal to make MLX a great research tool, we're expanding support to new languages like Swift and C, making experimentation on Apple silicon easier for ML researchers.

Video generating text with Mistral 7B and MLX Swift 👇

MLX is an array framework for machine learning research on Apple silicon. MLX is intended for research and not for production deployment of models in apps.

@nikolaykargin @SebJVidal I’d love to read that blog post. :)

If you’re doing CI on Intel but build for visionOS:

defaults write https://t.co/Cj7K2yNQOO.dt.Xcode AllowUnsupportedVisionOSHost -bool YES
defaults write https://t.co/Cj7K2yNQOO.CoreSimulator AllowUnsupportedVisionOSHost -bool YES

(Before xcodebuild -downloadPlatform visionOS)

@embirico @reidhoffman @fbarbat @jnpdx Amazing progress! 👏

@thesamparr Toyota LandCruiser 79.

While this one is not stock at all, it has brought me all thru Botswana. Sand, mud, grass, river crossings. Low tech. If sh*t really goes down, this is what I’d want to rely on.

@embirico M-10000?? 🤯 Are you for real?

[Marius Rackwitz @mrackwitz]

@jasoncwarner @_Caro_N would agree 🍿
