If you have a Virtual reality app you can create a full space immersive app using stereo metal rendering with compositor services. Consider switching URP to get access to foveated rendering.
If you want to create a mixed reality app it will be rendered with reality kit.

1. Task breakdown
For better performance and higher accuracy, it is very important to break complex tasks into simpler ones.
An interesting tactic is to use intent classification to identify the most relevant instructions for a user's query:

2. Giving GPT time to "think"
Requesting immediate answers from the model might yield inaccuracies as it doesn't allow for 'reasoning' time. Remember how LLMs operate is heavily reliant on thoughtful processing.
A tactic is asking the model if it missed anything previously:

- What market will they enter in? As @ananddass said, will they try to enter the TV/screen/home theater market? Will the headset be proposed as an XR headset or a "TV replacement"?
Apple WWDC releases according to AI
I asked ChatGPT what to expect from #WWDC this morning.
Looks like the AI predictions are:
✦ Apple Reality PRO AR/VR headset
✦ Macbook Air 15"
✦ iOS 17
✦ watchOS 10

Apple's @vidhigoel07 had a great session at #WWDC last week, talking about improving network latency through:
🔛implementation tuning (for example buffer sizing)
🔜network assistance (like L4S, the new Low-Latency, Low-Loss proposal!).

Some thoughts👇

Some thoughts👇
A big part of observed network latencies/delays is due to so-called bufferbloat:
Too large intermediate buffers, both on the endpoints and in the network, cause packets to stay in the buffer too long, delaying them.
Too large intermediate buffers, both on the endpoints and in the network, cause packets to stay in the buffer too long, delaying them.
On the endpoints, this can be improved by tuning buffer sizes for different protocols (TCP/QUIC, TLS and HTTP have their own buffers!). Default sizes are often too high.

Why you may want to use #ReactNative in 2022. A thread.
Pros:
- Lots of big companies use it and provide great experiences: Microsoft, Tesla, Discord (excellent), Shopify
- Active community

- Atwood's Law: "Any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript."
- React's state management framework is still a million years ahead of SwiftUI/UIKit. Recently I tried #zustand recommended by @GeekPlux.

The more I used this framework, the more I regret how much time I've wasted on Apple's toy framework. Totally unnecessary.
- In scenarios where it doesn't fit, you can fall back to the system native solution
Cons:
- Adds a lot of compile time.

简单说说为什么还想在 2022 年用 React Native？
Pros：
- 很多大公司都在使用，并且体验都很棒：微软，特斯拉，Discord（极佳），Shopify（目前还不是用户）
- 社区活跃
- Atwood's Law: “Any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript.”

Pros (cont'd):
- React 的状态管理框架依旧领先 SwiftUI/UIKit 一万年。最近使用 @GeekPlux 推荐的 #zustand 越多，越后悔自己在苹果的玩具框架上浪费了太多时间。完全没必要
- 在不适合的场景，都可以 fallback 到系统 native solution

Cons:
- 增加了不少编译时间，不过可以用一些 hack 比如打包 React Native 为 xcframework 来解决。
- Meta（FB）未来是否会维护存疑，但是这个问题在 5 年内应该都不用太担心。这也是开源框架的好处。对比 SwiftUI 这些年的迭代，优势尤为明显
- 社区轮子比较混乱。这也是社区活跃的一种表现

#WWDC22 is about to kick off & rumours are that Apple will have an announcement on search.
What can we expect?
Let's put the Spotlight on how 🍎 already seeks to control search. 🧵

Let's put the Spotlight on how 🍎 already seeks to control search. 🧵
1️⃣ Safari constrains your freedom to seek, by blocking any custom search options, like @mojeek
We've explained before how Google, Microsoft & Apple practice coopetition in browsers & search.

We're minutes away from Apple's #WWDC22, where new features for Mac, iPhone, and iPad are expected. Our team will be live blogging the event, and we'll be threading updates under this tweet so you can follow along wherever you are: (THREAD)
wired.com/live/apple-wwd…

And we're live! Apple CEO Tim Cook has taken the stage to announce a slew of new Apple software updates at #WWDC22. Follow along on our liveblog here: wired.com/live/apple-wwd…
First up: iOS 16 features. Apple says they are "bringing the biggest update ever" to the lockscreen 👀
#WWDC22
#WWDC22
It’s time to start a #WWDC Wishlist Mega Thread. Here we go, will keep adding things until the event.
1. iOS 16: Add new languages in Apple Translate. I can hope for Indian languages, especially Hindi, but I think they have a long list before reaching there.
2. Wider rollout for Apple Pay, hopefully we get it in India as well. Indian market is quickly shifting towards Tap to Pay, and the government is encouraging digital payments more than any other country. Apple Pay would be a great addition.
Today's #WWDC day. Who else wonders if there's a render rush panic right before the stream starts?
I guess they didn't know how to open WWDC this year.
They went with arena rock.
I've done some #SwiftUI lately for @pushheroapp @PastePalApp , and amazed by how easy and fun it is to make apps. If you want to get into SwiftUI but don't know where to start, here are my recommended resources #iosdev

And so I begin the Late Night AWS #requinnvent tweet thread: Corey Quinn's own version of AWS's own version of Cloud Next.
To make it more like the #reinvent I gave my kid $20, watered down my drink, and spent the last 3 hours standing in line outside my home office yelling.

Researchers & app developers, are you trying to synchronize your CareKit app data to the cloud? My team, #NetReconLab at the @universityofky has released a set of open-source tools to help #WWDC #Swift #CareKit #Cloud #synchronization #Postgres #mongodb
developer.apple.com/videos/play/ww…
developer.apple.com/videos/play/ww…
Apple engineers discussed all of the new synchronization features they added today within CareKit (19 minutes - end of the video). I was fortunate enough to make some contributions to this effort on CareKits official GitHub Page (I'm " cbaker6" 🙃)
github.com/carekit-apple/…
github.com/carekit-apple/…
The CareKitSample-ParseCareKit which shows off all of the tools at once. It combines the data sync tool (ParseCareKit) that syncs the data from your device to parse-hipaa. The sample app will have you synching data to your server in 3 minutes!

Good to see you can finally import modules/app code into an Xcode playground - you may need to do an testable import of your main app code as it is all internal by default.
You'll need to check this box to make it work. #WWDC
Spoke to soon - it imports framework code fine, but even though testable import YourApp_Module satisfies the compiler, it fails at runtime with missing symbol errors.
Amidst all the details, installing pre-release, and commentary (including my own) I want to take a moment to reflect on #WWDC putting it in context of the past two decades. Quite simply, what we're seeing is some of the most remarkable product engineering over time in history. 1/
2/ It is easy to get wrapped up in debates about specifics, excited by tweaks or surprises, even an occasional scandal, or to wonder about the quality (is this is a good beta?). Under the hood, is a team that over time has done more and executed better than any I can name, ever.
3/ Having walked in similar shoes for many years, and importantly starting from when Mac was a hammer smashing through a screen, through the lowest lows (fine, we'll keep doing Office), resurrection, and reinvention, it's wild for me to consider what makes it so amazing to me.
I don't need to watch Apple #WWDC 2020 because I watched Google I/O 2016.
When Android got Apple features announced in 2020:
Change default email/browser app: 2008 (inception)
Widgets: 2009
Translate (app): 2010
Cycling directions: 2010
Picture in picture: 2017

#WWDC kicking off! The Timothy C opening the conference at Apple Park
First, Tim Cook addresses racism and talks about the events happening in Black and brown communities and how Apple is "inspired and moved by passionate people around the world" #WWDC
Tim talks about Apple's two initiatives: $100M Racial Equity and Justice Initiative as well as the new developer entrepreneur camp for Black developers, a first for #WWDC
Okay, let's get this started.
I'm live tweeting my thoughts and some analysis as I read Bolton's "The Room Where It Happened". I'm using a PDF version that I got for free, so I'll provide annotations and highlights.

My first thought while reading this is just utter amazement at how highly Bolton regards himself:
For someone whose livelihood depends on the Resistance buying his book, Bolton isn't holding back words. I've felt insulted at least 5 times and I'm only a couple pages in.
