I'm a bit of an eclectic mess 🙂 I've been a programmer, journalist, editor, TV producer, and a few other things.

I'm currently working on my second novel which is complete, but is in the edit stage. I wrote my first novel over 20 years ago but then didn't write much till now.

I post about #Coding, #Flutter, #Writing, #Movies and #TV. I'll also talk about #Technology, #Gadgets, #MachineLearning, #DeepLearning and a few other things as the fancy strikes ...

The images show two separate iterations of the same app — the first is a SwiftUI app for doing #StableDiffusion image generation using #CoreML. That took several weeks of work to create and it never really worked right — I could only do single selection of images, couldn’t drag and drop more than one image, and it took a fair amount of time to implement even trivial stuff.

The second is the same app implemented using AppKit. It took essentially one day (yesterday). Multiselection was built-in, drag and drop (for multiple items) was a couple of lines of code, and I implemented a bunch of other things I wanted to do fairly easily.

On top of that, the app feels faster, lighter, and more responsive than the SwiftUI version for the exact same task, using the exact same models.

SwiftUI has a long way to go still, if it will even ever get there …

Opera is going to use #ChatGPT to shorten articles — so that people have to read less and think even less —, Microsoft is building ChatGPT into their Office tools — again, less thinking —, we already have ChatGPT in search engines ..

So this is how the world ends — everybody growing stupider because we are too lazy to think for ourselves, and not with a bang?

I guess SkyNet did arrive but not in the way we thought … 😛

For those of us outside the Dole/Chiquita hegemony, bananas can have a variety of tastes — sweet, sour, bland and all the other stuff in between 😛 So when you say “water bugs taste like banana”, which banana are we talking about?

I really miss having @qikipedia posting facts over here. For a week or so, they did and then they’ve gone back to only posting on Twitter 😞

So I guess I’ll have to repeat their facts since I do enjoy them … but then there is no quoting posts and I have to resort to screenshots .. Ah, well 🙂
