Indeed, and the entire concept of smarter Siri, chatGPT integration as well as apple's ever-increasing Ad surfaces ... is powered by aggegading more and more usage analytics from users. There are so many that come on by default when yo

How likely is it to even remember “the AI stuff” 2-3 years from now? What we’re trying to do with LLMs today is extremely unsustainable. NVidia/openai will run out of silly investors eventually…

There is also the matter of how training data was licensed to create these models. Local or not, it’s still based on stolen content. And really what transformative use case is there to have AI in the browser - none of the ones currently ava

Claude reads and writes Gleam just fine. I think as long as the language syntax is well documented (with examples) and has meaningful diagnostics, LLMs can be useful. Gleam has both brilliant docs and diagnostics rivalling Rust. Gleam is al

I wonder why in every movie about Steve Jobs, he is somehow "inventing" the mp3 player / iPod as a better alternative to the walkman, only to find ourselves in 2025 wanting to buy a walkman and not even knowing what iPod is?

It doesn’t actually solve those math problems though, does it? It replies with a solution if it has seen one often enough in training data or something that looks like a solution but isn’t. At the end, the human still needs to proof it. Sam

I think it’s a fair concern, e.g. forgejo is a simple directory on disk, with an option to make that into an S3 storage. It really is a no brainer to set that up for as much resilience as necessary with various degrees of “advanced” dependi
