Codetown ::: a software developer's community
Just a little food for thought... If you use the new Mavrick OS on a MAC do you like it? or hate it? Why and Why not? I would like to hear how software developers feel about this.

Jack, I haven't tried Mav yet but am excited both about it and the strategy behind it. What are your thoughts about it? I look forward to this discussion.
Jack, How are your explorations into Mavrick coming along? I have a 2008 MacBookPro running 10.6.8. I'm thrilled to see that I can switch to Mavrick since 10.6.8 was the terminal OS supported by this hardware. I'm very interested to hear what you've learned ... and others here at Codetown! All the best, Michael Levin

Hi Jack - I am considering loading Mavericks onto my '08 MacBook Pro. I wonder whether it will run efficiently. Any ideas? /Mike

Oracle added the GraalVM Just-in-time (JIT) compiler as an experimental feature to Oracle JDK 23, its OpenJDK distribution, in September 2024. The GraalVM JIT compiler is faster than the standard OpenJDK JIT compiler and easier to maintain. Oracle's move is controversial because it has investigated including the GraalVM JIT compiler in all OpenJDK distributions, not just its own.
By Karsten SilzNexa AI unveiled Omnivision, a compact vision-language model tailored for edge devices. By significantly reducing image tokens from 729 to 81, Omnivision lowers latency and computational requirements while maintaining strong performance in tasks like visual question answering and image captioning.

By Martin ThwaitesPhysical Intelligence recently announced π0 (pi-zero), a general-purpose AI foundation model for robots. Pi-zero is based on a pre-trained vision-language model (VLM) and outperforms other baseline models in evaluations on five robot tasks.
By Anthony AlfordAWS has unveiled Lambda SnapStart for Python and .NET, enhancing serverless app performance by reducing cold start latency. This feature builds on the success of Lambda SnapStart for Java, allowing faster initializations through early environment caching. Available in multiple global regions, it offers efficient management of caching costs with Python 3.12+ and .NET 8+.
