Who’s “you guys” a developer from Bay Area? A student with a MacBook Neo? Or John Appleseed who bought basic iPhone 17e?
replyI'm guessing it's a BlizzCon joke.
replyI have a Mac with 4TB of storage but it’s still annoying when every new AI app I try installs its own virtual environment with a fresh copy of Python, PyTorch, other duplicate libraries, and then models on top of that.
replyAs an occasional python user I'm always amazed and frustrated that it seems that the only way to be able to use/build anything is to create a whole separate environment.
replyAnd now given everybody now does this I guess the incentive to stop breaking stuff reduces even further.
Might as well have static binaries.
The meme phrase “it’s fractally wrong” applies to the entire python ecosystem, IMHO. Virtual environments are just another layer of this fractal wrongness in the layer cake of ecosystem awfulness.
replyIt’s a nice language though.
I have a couple small apps that have a (non-LLM) model, and originally the models and code were in PyTorch, built by Python devs.
replyThe original plan was to ship Python. However I found out I can migrate them to CoreML, and now it's a model file + Swift code. I got some massive performance improvements as well.
Of course, this doesn't work at all for non-Mac environments, but it was nice to be able to do it. (Also doesn't solve the duplicate large models problem)
No? iPhones don't come standard with that much storage.
