A big differentiator is that local models have access to more user data without sending anything over the wire (which ignoring privacy implications, isn’t free).

Local models can also more easily plug into existing macOS/iOS facilities like AppleScript, Automator, Services, Shortcuts, and NSUserActivity which means they’ll be a lot more functional, with the ability to wire together apps that haven’t explicitly added AI support.

In other words there’s a lot of potential here. If implemented well, LLM-powered Siri would have vastly more context and integration than anything else right out of the gate.

I think you've heard quite a lot. There is a reason why people invent GraphQL or BFF

In a nutshell, I think today's Web APIs can't be simply descriped as a bunch of "resources" or "states" (which Roy Fielding used in his PhD paper about REST). A database system like PG is much more complex. The SQL itself is an API and comes with a data transfer protocol. You get a leaky abstraction by mapping it to REST.

Your comment isn’t helpful to have a good and useful conversation about this. There are multiple viewpoints and levels of acceptance of new technology.

Skepticism is healthy and even warranted. We don’t have to gleefully embrace every new shiny thing the tech companies throw at us.

Heck the founder of this site himself once wrote an essay cautioning about adopting new services or tech too quickly because it is too often turned against us [1]:

> It took a while though—on the order of 100 years. And unless the rate at which social antibodies evolve can increase to match the accelerating rate at which technological progress throws off new addictions, we'll be increasingly unable to rely on customs to protect us. [3] Unless we want to be canaries in the coal mine of each new addiction—the people whose sad example becomes a lesson to future generations—we'll have to figure out for ourselves what to avoid and how. It will actually become a reasonable strategy (or a more reasonable strategy) to suspect everything new.

IMHO Google may be a good example. They shifted their entire philosophy from innovation to securing their profitability. And it seems there's nothing more boring to the media than a company that's stable.

IBM is not insignificant, it just doesn't get much attention in the headlines.
It is possible to search/filter software testing jobs by title/designation on our portal and also on LinkedIn. But, you get the correct results when you filter jobs by designation on our website.

how accurate is this? like percentage wise
Yeah this is it. It's all fine until a product manager asks for analytics on this via their analytics tool of choice, and you have to say "sorry can't do that", or you have to build a complex data pipeline all because you can't do an HTTP POST to an external service.

Also database migrations are notoriously hard to get right, at scale of traffic, at scale of development pace, at scale of team, and often require a bunch of tooling. This pattern pushes even more into database transactions.

I'd rather take a boring ORM plus web framework, where you need a little boilerplate, but you get a stateless handler in Python/whatever to handle this. So much more flexibility for very little extra cost.
Not the parent but I just don’t. I have used it to basically help with some largely boilerplate writing—as in get a pre-draft down on a page and adapt it from there.

Don’t do a lot of programming any longer.

It’s sometimes useful but at this point it just isn’t revolutionary for anything I do.

That is different issue. Anything can be spoiled by moisture, or other factors.

A best by date implies it is stored properly even then there’s a difference in taste/quality before and after the best by date. Which is not true for salt.
You still have to borrow money to:
start the car company, pay yourself, pay workers, build a factory, get raw materials,
design a car, then manufacturer and sell it before that $7,500 subsidy kicks in. Compious amounts of subsidy earlier in the pipeline makes it substantially easier to do all the of above steps. How much easier would it be to start a company if your salary and the salary of the employees was paid for by the government before you ever made and sold a product?

so it's six of one now, vs a half-dozen later,
except that you have to get to later to get the half dozen, and there's no guarantee you'll get there.
It's crazy the amount of power maintainers hold over someone else's software. This reminds me of the time when Fedora maintainers disabled GLES1 support in Mesa because "nobody should be using it anymore (there are newer OpenGL versions)", disregarding the fact that GLES1 was well and fully maintained upstream, and was and is still the only option on many devices.
Please ask them not to add rice if you plan to throw it away. Thanks :)
So it's not just me! ;-)

I do not understand the love of Python.

Generally I assume it's just me and I must be missing something.

If nothing else I cannot abide the four-spaces indentation standard and the short line lengths.

Why waste so much space!

I read right to left, and I can read long lines of code just fine!

I'm forever scrolling up and down in Django code and losing my place!
Hissy-fits like these are one of the reasons there's never going to be a "year of the linux on desktop"

But why do they care, right? Most people on their irc channel (that have a basement NAS may I add) agree with their decision.

Now my bet is that your average Debian user does care about convenience. Replacing (default off) selection boxes with different sw packages is acceptable in only a minority of cases, and doesn't seem to be the case here.

Nice work!
Suggestions

1)Jam requires being on a website page to load, which might not always align with how users interact with browser extensions, often using them independently of a webpage

2) Wouild be nice to have an option to record two windows

3) Visibility of the extension popup in recordings when sharing a browser window - I can see extension popup open on the recording only when I share the entire screen

Thank you! Haven't explored all functionality yet but already love Jam <3

True, but git is good not because of GitHub, git is good because it's so simple.

Our eyes definitely do not see "pretty much without the color". Born and raised in Norway I've watched more aurora borealis than I care to count. On many occassions you could see all kinds of colors and dancing lights with the naked eye, very strong and vivid, too. Important to be in a dark environment without light pollution. At the arctic circle during polar night you will see northern lights that almost match the most stunning photos you have seen.
Check out the Agilex-M device: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/fpg...

Up to 38 TFLOPs of FP16 performance, up to 116 Gbps transceiver rates, and up to 3.9M logical elements (LE).

Memory bandwidth of over 1TBps using the NoC, using in-package HBM2E (up to 32GB capacity) and hardened DDR5/LPDDR5 memory controller (supporting 5,600 Mbps).

Maybe doesn't come into the power envelope (Agilex 5 is looking good on that front) of a low-power device, but it's an awesome chip. About £8k for a DevKit though.
You can fit a Q5 Llama-3-8b or many other models on new iPhones.
It seems to me that many of the questions confuse language and logic. Or, at least, it seems more about philosophical logic than mathematical logic.
This means you’re scared a tablet can replace you as a musician. If you have that fear, maybe you should look into it more because from a non musicians perspective, I don’t believe it replaces them, just makes those sounds available to everyone.
Hey if you think it is so ridiculous for someone to be significantly offended by the ads that you don't even believe that people were, then you are basically agreeing with me.

I am glad that you seem to now agree with me that it would be dumb to be personally offended by this in a significant way.

You agree with me so much, that it is so dumb to be mad about this, that you actually don't think that people were!

You actually believe this argument even more that I do, because it isn't even conceivable to you that people were very upset about this.

I am glad that I convinced you at how dumb it would be to very mad about this ad.

It doesn't have nothing. It has keybinds. There's nothing to click on, but still plenty to do, and you can do it with more than one finger.

Flat... Whitespace. In modern graphical applications, nothing is broken up in your field of view, everything is an object on a slate. There's no organization, no context grouping objects together that help you understand how to interact with them, they're not ergonomic. Contrast that with this, while it's not a perfect example, there are clear borders, clear sets of interactions, the mind can formulate a procedure by looking at the organization of everything in front of them. It's almost like fonts, some fonts are better for readability, others are just ideas people had that might help that don't work out, and others are just there to look fashionable. UI maps and interactive flows can be easy to understand at a glance or look pretty but not give the user much of a clue what to do with what they're looking at.
Those were not real. It’s very clear based on the movement of various items that this is all CG.
Law enforcement is handled so terribly in the United States. In most of the country, police run amok, barely accountable to anyone and appearing to operate without any sense of civic duty. In other parts of the country, we just legalize crime to deal with it. A better approach is sorely needed.

We used to deploy on Debian at my previous place, and we hit this sort of shit all the time. Maintainer ripped out features they disagreed with (political reasons, or just engineering/product taste), maintainers changing the configuration files to things that suited them better, etc.

I understand it's all volunteer work, I understand it's open source so anyone can add their own custom packaging, on top, but Debian (the OS) certainly uses the ecosystem as a selling point, and it really can come back to bite you.
not parent, the suggestion is to stop being so sensitive. if this is what you worry about then life is pretty damn good for you clearly.

meanwhile parts of the rest of the world are concerned with legitimate matters like being bombed.

Since the mid 1980s, the median age in Italy has gone from 34 to 46 and the trend is accelerating. This is despite massive immigration. Expect this to happen everywhere in the next 40 years. India and China are already below replacement. All of LatAm, Europe, and South East Asia as well.

Unless someone thinks of a democratic, scalable solution it's going to be a lot of pain for a lot of people for a long time.
I can't wait to see what accessibility updates they can do with local/remote AI! I'm definitely getting the Pro iPhone this year if it's running a faster CPU or has more RAM for bigger models. And that could be a selling point for the pro phones this year. Get AppleLLM 3B on a 6 GB iPhone, or Apple 7B which can describe images/videos right on device, describe animations in apps, and try to describe what's happening in all those emulated video games, with the 8/12GB iPhone Pro. I know, wild. But Apple's current screen recognition, using image classification ML from like 3 years ago, works a good 1 description per 2 seconds or so. If they can make AI updates that fast, with a buffer to only keep describing changes in the scene/video, I think it'd work well.

On the other hand, isn't it a bit late for Apple to be finalizing things before WWDC? I mean, that doesn't give them that much time to make the video and prepare dev builds. And then they have to tune the system prompt, slide it into the OS (although maybe they have just an API field they can just plug it into), and then do QA. I don't know. Maybe this is old info. Still, I'll be eagerly awaiting any VoiceOver/accessibility updates!
I agree, I haven't come across the usage of these terms either in my career, save for people who specifically wanted to make a point.

If it hadn't been in '99 already, I would say it's the language insanity which has plagued the world for the past decade.

While I understand the SI argument, computers "simply" work with the powers of 2, so a magnitude of 1000 "simply" never is the native unit here and the usual SI prefixes really shouldn't be an issue and never were. It only is a convenient excuse for harddrive manufacturers ;)
I’d argue that Ford and Carnegie foundations are not good examples here, having veered very far from the intention/goals of the original donors into directions that are arguably diametrically opposed. Essentially they were hijacked from within by hired “professional managers” who pursued their own agendas. Maybe in the future we can set up AIs to make the decisions on our behalf after we’re gone, because humans are extremely unreliable over longer time frames!
The data on comfort using eye tracking is fascinating (4.5 Results and Discussion):

>power maintainers hold over someone else's software

There's some subtle assumptions about ownership in this comment that aren't accurate, insofar as free and open source software is concerned.

FOSS software is not "someone else's" software. They may own the trade mark, but by releasing the software under a FOSS licence, they lose the right to control the direction the software may take. I'm free to copy it, edit it, and redistribute it as I see fit. So are you. So is Debian.

I remember a discussion back when the first M1 chips came out where someone observed that it was quite likely that they had the Linux kernel running before they got XNU ported. The theory was that the hardware engineers would've probably used Linux during the hardware validation phase before the MacOS kernel team got their hands on it.
DRAM and SRAM capacities are in binary, but storage device capacities (from device manufacturers) are decimal. (I thought that storage device capacities were actually mixed, that is, decimal kilobytes, so a megabyte is 1000 * 1024, but I can't find a source for that.)

I think that Windows and Linux both use binary for disk space.

Most of the usage for kibibyte that I see is in articles advocating its use.

Imo if the northern lights are strong, the live experience is superior to photos because of how they move, while photos are still images. But many times they are not as strong and they do not look like much with naked eye, while long exposure will catch more of it.

Apple is primarily a hardware company. Privacy claims aside, on-device gives Apple a reason to keep making, improving, and selling hardware.

I also don’t think the GDPR consent is a good measure. Those suck to opt out of manually and I doubt most people consider finding an extension. Apple sells its privacy as zero to low configuration. You “buy” privacy, you don’t configure it. Whether their claims are misleading or not. That’s extremely appealing.

* Local models would be a requirement if Advanced Data Protection[0] were enabled

* Local models could potentially do some interesting work with hefty data (something media related maybe) that isn’t fit for cloud workflows

Actually that makes sense. I'd never want a Mac because I want to always know what my machine is doing and what's on it. I also use Linux as my daily driver and haven't had the bad luck you've had with desktops. Even if I did or had though, I couldn't go to a mac because I think I value always knowing what my machine is doing more than avoiding infrequent crashes. If the crashes were too bad on Linux I'd o for a severely neutered and caged Windows 10 install.

My previous reply was talking entirely about tactical nukes. They're not exempt from the concept of deployment. Even the Russians don't just let them float around willy-nilly. Most sit in storage.

>But speaking of a deployed tactical nuke is somewhat nonsensical.

The people whose job it is to track deployments of tactical nuclear weapons would probably disagree.
"Tin foil". Arranged in the right shape, and spun to maintain positioning at L1. About a million square kilometers give or take should do it, plus ancillary things like positioning thrusters etc.

Call it five to ten million metric tons, if we're using ultrathin kapton with sputtered aluminum. Launch costs alone would be in the upper billions to low trillions, combined with construction and maintenance, probably 1-2 trillion as a lowball estimate.

N.B. this only reduces power by a factor of 0.1%, about 1 W/m^2!
Yep, moreover they cost a whopping $7. Not only can you ensure things are in a safe range, but also not too cold to further improve efficiency.

An oven thermometer is another one I’ll recommend, as the temperature the oven claims it’s at is a function of where the sensors are. It’s not uncommon for it to be consistently off by 5-6%, which can really matter if you want the best results. Again, about $7 can solve that one too.
They do. According to State of European Tech 2023 Europe is a net importer of Global Talent.

What's the deal with rice? I come from a culture we eat a lot of rice. You can keep rice in the fridge for nearly a week. The only time I throw away rice is if it has visible fungus on it.
I think that's an unfair comparison. By using Nagle's algorithm for interactive work, you save bytes, but the software you're interacting with is that much less responsive. (If the client was responsible for echoing typed characters, then it wouldn't matter. But ssh and telnet don't work like that, unfortunately.)

So by saving bytes and leaving your pipe empty, you just suffer in user experience. Why not use something you're already paying for to make your life better?

(In the end, it seems like SSH agrees with me, and just wastes the bytes by enabling TCP_NODELAY.)
Still, most of it often still works, why not give it for repairs, instead of replacing it?
There's this extension https://postgresql-anonymizer.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ which lets you do this, eg: `MASKED WITH NULL` - though I don't have much hands on experience with it / haven't looked into it's implementation details so not sure what trade-offs it might come with.

My general feeling is that it's an extension you'd apply to your human users, whilst exempting your machine users, but it feels like it could work for both in the context of something like postgrest
