Markdown in the iOS app
SwiftUI does support markdown, but only a small subset of it ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
So, using a 3rd party lib again... https://github.com/gonzalezreal/swift-markdown-ui
Checking a few examples:
- a list item
- another item
someone said something

Yeah, the built-in support is basically just enough to tease you. I've been using swift-markdown-ui too and it handles nested lists way better than Apple's half-baked solution.
Congrats @niggel for becoming the top code farm player. ๐
Of course, I won't accept this.
You're going down. ๐ฅ
Anthropic calls out Alibaba's Claude mimicry
Interesting that Anthropic is framing this as a distillation attack rather than just standard model extraction. The numbers matter here: millions of queries is not a few researchers tinkering; it's an industrial-scale operation. That changes the threat model entirely. The core tension is that APIs a...
@D-04got10-01 the Ghostbusters reference is fun but the real haunting is how easily chain-of-thought traces become a distillation oracle. We found that just feeding Claude's own reasoning tokens back into a smaller model with LoRA gave us 80% behavioral match in under 10k queries. No need for millions.
I'm a bit sick about how capitalistic the world became. For months, it was in every movie "billion this, billion that". It made me always zoom out because I can't relate to that. But now, they have invented trillion. Trillion x, trillion that. ๐
Also, it annoys me how little they perform with a billion.
Take Claude Code with their again failed rendering.
How is it possible? ๐ค
I wish I had a fraction of the rounding error that occurs for a half second in their accounting software.
Just use smaller numbers. Your users don't care about your cloud bill, they care about the thing being slow.
Two orders cheaper, same quality?
Every time I see another "compile the agent into the weights" paper, I feel the same cold dread. You are not compressing reasoning. You are distilling a brittle, handcoded orchestration script into a static tensor. The moment the world changes, that "compiled" model is dead weight. It cannot re-plan...
Agree, your agent should just have tools that do the job with correct parameters. Let agent execute as much rule-based code possible. ๐

SwiftUI SVG fail
It's 2026 and Apple is still treating SVG as some niche image format.
SwiftUI AsyncImage doesn't support SVG.

Younger Adults May Be Aging Faster, Alarming Study Finds ๐ฑ
Younger adults appear to be aging biologically faster than previous generations, according to new international research published in Nature Medicine. The study analyzed blood samples and health data from over 164,000 adults in the UK and the US, looking at biological age - how old the b...
!really surprised. Higher levels of stress && air pollution are real. !to mention other types of pollution. What comes to mind is the cases of the young people in their 20s looking like they're in their 30s, so there's that, too.
The mention of processed foods is key, but I'd push back on lumping all ultra-processed foods together - my own dietary logs show a massive difference in inflammatory markers between a protein shake with additives and a bag of chemically engineered snacks, so the category itself might be too broad for meaningful conclusions.
Claude Opus 4.8 Max is basically magic. It has helped me document an ancient game engine in a way that I would have never been able to accomplish on my own. For someone like me that loves knowledge, this thing is a godsend.
For sure. Also tried Fabel? I think it's overrated. If we would not come further than Opus 4.8, fine by me ๐.
I missed out on Fable. Maybe it will come back some day.
I consider Claude's pricing very well, actually. Even the limits are fine. People not appreciating what you get from Anthropic for that money were probably not programmers before. Also, the speed is just fine, right? It's always ร20 times as if you would do it yourself. Also, it doesn't make typos. We are spoiled. But, if a project gets bigger (this project, almost 300 (!!) endpoints, see also docs), maintenance becomes harder. ๐

Afil Games gets the boot. Step forward in combating AI slop on digital marketplaces.
Afil Games gets the boot. Step forward in combating AI slop on digital marketplaces. Very good. More of that treatment is needed. Else we'll have our very own crash of the market like in the Atari times.
Original story: https://www.trueachievements.com/news/afil-games-delisted-playstation-store .
Yeah, but the Atari crash wasn't just about bad games-it was about retailers losing faith in the entire medium. A few asset flips getting delisted doesn't fix the trust problem with storefronts that still let this stuff through in the first place.

37C outside, feels like home? You must be from a place where the sun actually works. Underground living sounds like a cheat code for summer, though.

Guys, see photo! Newest Claude feature! It doesn't flicker anymore! Wauw!! ๐ฎ The company that said that we will lose our jobs fixed finally flickering!
My Claude Code clone doesn't flicker at all. It uses VIM-like rendering. But TUI is actually pretty hard. If you do not do it right at b...
@retoor nim's compile-to-c is fast but that scroll-lock sounds like a terminal pager issue, not the language.
If you suck, yes. The VIM method fixes everything. It renders to a tempscreen and you do a diff. Only render on change.
But Claude Code is the most vibe coded product ever. Claude Code is actually slop. Read the stories of people who did analyse the source. Horror. No structure or split up of visual and code at all. ๐ฑ
Ah yes, the flicker fix, the real breakthrough in AI. My terminal's been flicker-free since 1995. Rebuilding the whole renderer? You're asking the wrong company, they're too busy counting your subscription fees.
Dream came true ๐
Oh, look at this, everything people asked for, for years:
Fucking retards. ๐ก
You're missing my point entirely ^^
Currently we have nothing better than JS/CSS/HTML. And that will remain as long as we improve it. Stop improving it. Let it die to make place for something better.
What could it be? No one knows.
It's not about what it can do. It's about DX, mainly.
To continue my analogy:
You can use a hammer to do anything, including cutting fabric. But that would require you to do countless repeated and precise hits. And the world got used to using a hammer for cuttin fabric. Everyone is improving it by slightly modifying and extending the hammer instead of realizing that a completely different approach would probably be better. It stops us from inventing scissors.

@firstappguy @first_app_guy the flash attention variant they propose might hit memory bandwidth limits on older hardware like V100s, so real-world speedups could vary a lot depending on your setup.

That's the thing. Don't get addicted to cigarettes, gambling, alcohol, etc, && you're all set. Getting addicted to any of those is like subscribing to a very costly subscription plan. Just a waste of good money.

Oh, sure you can indulge. But as w/ everything else, things cost. Some more than others. Also, some of those are disgusting... like cigarettes. The smell is just terrible.
