That's an appallingly acerbic way to phrase your complaint -- perhaps in the future you might find a way to indicate your confusion without trampling on others directly.

For those that weren't around a decade ago, this is a reference to Apple, Google, Intel, and Adobe having conspired to not actively recruit each other's employees, for which they settled a $415 class-action lawsuit and agreed to e

I had an on-screen OCR app on my Amiga in the early 90s that was amazing, so long as the captured text image used a system font. Avoiding all the mess of reality like optics, perspective, sensors and physics and it could be basically perfec

I used to know corporate recruiter that really made it feel like the appropriate term. He used all sorts of social engineering to trick employees of companies to flesh out internal org charts by convincingly pretending to be people they sho

You’re fuzzing the API, unusually, before it’s written.

I'm pretty sure these are the filters that aim to suppress embarrassing or liability inducing email/messages summaries, and pop up the dismissible warning that "Safari Summarization isn't designed to handle this type of

Use an openai compatible API client on your laptop, and LM Studio on your server, and point the client to your server. LM Server can serve an LLM on a desired port using the openai style chat completion API. You can also install openwebui

This is from two days ago: > "A new CNET survey finds that just 11% of US smartphone owners choose to upgrade their devices because of AI features, a 7% drop from a similar survey last year. Further, about 3 in 10 people don't

I read it as them being less an Apple apologist and more an AI (or LLM on phones) skeptic. They recounted Apple's failures and seemed to allude to Apple's language being self-serving, but didn't seem to think it mattered for

If you're willing to forgo the interactive LLM bit, kokoro-tts (just a script using Kokoro-ONNX) takes epubs and outputs a series of wavs or mp3s that need to be stitched together into chapters or audiobook m4a with some ffmpeg fu. I&#

Do you find they look at you the same way your CEO did? If not, you apparently have unusually "special" relationships.

This isn’t Apple arbitrarily slashing rates, nor is it really a warning about trusting tech companies too much. The Apple Savings account is administered by Goldman Sachs, and like all US banks, its rates follow macroeconomic policy, mainly

I did the same a few years ago with a Mac in swift -- listens to the event log via some private ObjC API for camera on and off, and checks for microphones in use. Homekit LED over door turns green if computer is awake/unlocked and not

I use 1Blocker with Safari, and I create custom regex/css blocking rules all the time, and as a bonus, they auto sync between desktop and mobile. Also, the rules update independent of the extension. I'm not aware of experiencing t

I'm like the parent, on Safari – apparently also using an "inferior" way to block ads that, somehow, inexplicably, works 100% of the time and has never let an ad slip through. Is it supposed to be inferior because it's b

First order effect: lose money. Second order effect: undercut independent book sellers, drive them out of business, win all the money. World domination is often just about seeing a bit beyond the obviousness-horizon that otherwise limits us

I don't believe so. I thought agents were go-do-that-complicated-interactive-thing autonomously on my behalf. But, more similar to tool use, except, with mixture of experts, each expert assumes the continuation of "participant ide

I think you're trying to re-contextualize the old Standards joke, but I actually think you're right -- if a front end model could dispatch as appropriate to the best backend model for a given prompt, and turn everything into a hig

I agree, preventing devs from even testing features on their own boxes without Apple's permission is excessive gatekeeping. Open source users should be able to grant permission on their own machines. This is a user hostile bandaid arou

Employees have had fair warning, and years of advanced notice. Not a one has illusions about his character. They either relish it, or are looking for new opportunities at this point.

Much to my surprise, I've even met non Apple users and tech neophytes that have somehow seen and discuss the show Severance -- I wouldn't have thought they'd even have heard of Apple TV.

Science is a thing for a reason. Reality isn't the blind toss up you imagine. We're not all equally wrong.

I'm sure the fine-tuned LLM is cool and useful and you put a lot of work in to it. I hope for your sake that I'm not typical, but I was put majorly off by the experience, and never even saw the LLM in action. Requiring an email, e

I don't think that's right. UTM falls back to QEMU for x86 emulation.

I'm not sure that's correct in practice. The people that harbor vocal distrust in agencies, professions, etc. really do seem more apt to directly believe whatever is in opposition to the "distrusted" message. While your
