When I was writing the Learning Core Audio book back in the day, AI wouldn’t have helped me because there was no Core Audio sample code out in the wild outside of two or three things from Apple in WWDC sessions or the docs. I wrote much of the publicly-available CA sample code that the LLMs then stole.

Loved that book.

And…. there is still not enough CoreAudio / macOS audio sample code out there… 🤷‍♂️

@darryl_ramm Thanks. Glad to know it helped.

@invalidname What does that fool expect to have the LLM learn from if it can’t steal the content from a book?

@invalidname All these AI braindeads who think AI is know it all… Until the power goes down…. Then AI is useless. Books however are offline and do not need power “to work”.

@canleaf @invalidname wait, what? the power's gone out but somehow computers are still running?

there are local models and you can augment them with never-before-seen code that was just revealed to help you get the new syntax right.

@invalidname My little metronome app would have never seen the light of day without that book. Thank you for writing it!!

(Also shout out to Michael Tyson - atastypixel.com, Loopy Pro app - for all the info about how to use the “remoteIO” Audio Unit for real-time output! Couldn’t find a Mastodon presence for them).

@rdsquared Glad it was helpful for you. It’s always nice to hear stories like that.

I remember Michael Tyson too. Audiobus was heroic back in the day.
