Ok, TODAY I will get actual output from the app ...

Gonna set this as my system prompt.

Ok, today the goal is to get the app to generate something other than progress bars. (Although I do think my progress bar is pretty neat, I don't think end users would be satisfied with that.)

Currently implementing the naïve CPU search algorithm (again) as a baseline for "correct".

Rewrote this to just call the GPU process once per sheet with all regions instead of once per region within the sheet, and then collate the results.

Now it's down to 3 seconds, from 3.5 minutes.

ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ

On second thought, perhaps this is a poor choice of parameter name.

Using Metal shaders to perform transformation task reduces time from 3.5 minutes to about 25 seconds.

Friendship ended with CPU. GPU is now my best friend.

Is there a good / canonical set of image training data these days? I have the old CIFAR 32x32 images available but I vaguely recall there being some issues with that.

(This is not for image recognition, just want something to use to develop hyperplanes for a locality sensitive hash idea I have.)

I feel like I may have found this before, but just discovered in Swift you can do

return if someCondition {
case_when_true()
} else {
case_when_false()
}

Which seems clearer than the traditional ternary format.

The autocomplete code generation in Xcode seems to be getting really good. Seems to be trained on Swift and somewhat context and maybe stylistically aware. I wrote the doc string and the function signature and it completed the rest of the code on its own. This runs entirely offline, too.

Back at it.

Been thinking about the screenshots / Live Photos / etc stuff and realized that I can make a more dynamic experience where the user can turn those on and off without needing a full parse / index.

The way that it works now is that I parse through local library, which is all thumbnails.

It captures shapes much better in monochrome. I might also make a version of this that uses the luma data from the tiles and the chroma data from the target. (It’s in LAB format already so that should be easy)

Ok time to figure out WTF

"Capture of 'someVar' with non-sendable type 'SomeClass<String, Int>' in a '@Sendable' closure"

means.

(Well, more specifically, figure out how to get it to stop warning me about this.)

This account is a sub account of my main at @xaiax.net and will just be for dev stuff / maybe software in general, so I'm not going to just mirror my following list here.

Fave this one if you want me to follow you from here, maybe if I see dev stuff I can help.

(Mostly I just do Swift and Python)

Getting back to working on this the only way I know how: turning it into a shitpost.

I'm going to attempt to use this for dev logging, probably in an extremely verbose manner so that I can get all my thoughts down in text in a way I can get to from anywhere and also that other people might be able to read if they care to.
