To be honest, I’m not sure what we’re arguing - we both seem to have a sound understanding of what LLM is and what it is not.
I’m not trying to defend or market LLM, I’m just describing the usability of the current capabilities of typical LLMs.

It goes a tad bit beyond classical conditioning... LLM’a provides a much better semantic experience than any previous technology, and is great for relating input to meaningful content. Think of it as an improved search engine that gives you more relevant info / actions / tool-suggestions etc based on where and how you are using it.
Here’s a great article that gives some insight into the knowledge features embedded into a larger model: https://transformer-circuits.pub/2024/scaling-monosemanticity/

That’s fair, but you are misunderstanding the technology if you’re bashing the AI from Apple for making macOS less secure. Most likely, it will be just as secure as for example their password functionality, although we don’t have details yet. You either trust the OS or not.
Microsoft Recall was designed so badly, there’s no hope for it.

He sort of invented it, so you have to think he’s commenting on the concept here, not the implementation.
I have tried a lot of medium and small models, and there it just no good replacement for the larger ones for natural text output. And they won’t run on device.
Still, fine-tuning smaller models can do wonders, so my guess would be that Apple Intelligence is really 20+ small and fine tuned models that kick in based on which action you take.

I do agree, but privacy in 2024 is sadly about trust, not technology, unless you yourself can design and create every chip used in your devices and in the network cells you connect to. No setting on your device on “do not allow…” have any meaning without trust in the creator.

Unless you are designing and creating your own chips for processing, networking etc, then privacy today is about trust, not technology. There’s no escaping it. I know iPhone and Apple is collecting data about me. I currently trust them the most on how they use it.

Hehe no it was actually surprisingly light when I looked it up, sorry for being lazy and just referencing it still.
He’s just one of the top 3-10 AI scientists in the world. If you want to start up a groundbreaking new AI research company, he’d probably be top 3 on your headhunting list. Anyone of Google, Microsoft, Meta, Apple, Tesla etc would hire him asap if he was available, probably as their new chief AI scientist.
But yeah, my whole title was fairly narrow in only making sense for people who already knew who he is. Maybe it would have made more sense to most if I just said “Top AI scientist endorses AI” or something. Uh, without abbreviating Apple Intelligence to AI I guess. I hate their naming on this.

How so? Many people want to use AI in privacy, but it’s too hard for most people to set it up for themselves currently.
Having AI tools on the OS level so you can use it in almost any app and that is guaranteed to be processed on device in privacy will be very useful if done right.

I had hoped that my last sentence showed my post was clearly in jest. The factual information was just needed to set up the joke. Neither hostility nor condescension was applied.
In fact, the avid reader might catch that I have implied myself in the group of people causing OP’s annoying trouble with light-clothed females since I too am here - presumably a tech nerd like OP and meddling with the algorithms affecting him by clicking on unsavory content.
Z4rK 5 months ago • 92%
Well that’s just not how recommendation algorithms work. A part of it will be content based, directly related to what the user can be associated with.
However, the largest part is collaboration based filtering of content. That means, our user is put in a group based on his other preferences, let’s assume nerdy tech stuff, and then is shown content that he has not liked yet but his group of peers has, meaning he could probably like it too.
In other words - he’s not the one in fault here, YOU are (you pretty much have to be nerdy tech folks to be here).
Please, could everyone here stop clicking on this stuff so that OP don’t have to be associated with your filthy behavior, thank you.

Adobe putting spam in notification tray on Windows
Z4rK 6 months ago • 100%
I can hardly remember the last time any notification was not some kind of spam or self-notification.
I turn 99.95% of notifications off on any platform. The worst offenders are the apps that will show me a permanent in-app notification that I have turned off notification permissions… especially those that do so blocking the regular UI of the app to tell me this. Even some apps I’ve paid for do this. I condemn those to the deepest pits of app-hell.
Proton announced some new optional way to swipe automatically to next email, that you could turn on in settings. I can not find any setting to turn this on or off. However, since it was announced, the default swipe changed. When I open an email, I can no longer swipe back to the inbox. I can swipe to next message if it is not the last. This brakes my primary way to navigate, and it was not announced, and I can’t change it back. It’s extremely annoying. It’s also different from how Mail, Outlook and Gmail works, which all have the swipe action proton used to have, where you swipe back to the inbox.

There are two modes of AI integrations. The first is a standard LLM in a side panel. It’s search and learning directly in the terminal, with the commands I need directly available to run where I need them. What you get is the same as if you used ChatGPT to answer your questions, then copied the part of the answer you needed to your terminal and run it.
There is also AI Command Suggestion, where you’ll start to type a command / search prefixed by # and get commands directly back to run. It’s quite different from auto-complete (there is very good auto-complete and command suggestion as well, I’m just talking about the AI specific features here).
It’s just a convenient placement of AI at your fingertips when working in the terminal.

Warp.dev! It’s the best terminal I’ve used so far, and the best use of AI as well! It’s extremely useful with some AI help for the thousands of small commands you know exist but rarely uses. And it’s very well implemented.

It’s his distinct style that he has kept since before most of us tried anything like ChatGPT etc, so personally I welcome his consistency.
I love Proton Privacy as a company, and most of their products. However, I hate their current SoMe campaign of just ranting and bashing on every other company out there. It’s so negative. Is more negativity really what we need? Can’t you just be positive and talk about all your good stuff - are you 100% sure the only way to grow is to do negative campaigns on everyone else? I’d really love for you to be different ❤️
Is there really no way to view a week and / or work week on the Proton Calendar on mobile (iOS)? Who is only interested in either a day or month view? It’s just so weird, I feel I have missed a setting somewhere obvious. Even the new beta desktop app provides a week view, even though a work week view is still missing there too.
I'm fine with the Proton Mail desktop client being an Electron app, but it still need to use desktop-based interactions. For example, when right clicking on the inbox, I expect to see options to mark all as read etc. - not an Inspect Element menu (that actually works and opens up devtools inside Proton Mail). And to those that can't cope with 3981 unread emails - I've just imported from Gmail, and a lot of them appeared as unread, which is why I'm now looking for a way to mark all as read.
I want to travel to London and catch a game some time in February - April. The only options I can find from Norway to purchase currently costs around £700 per ticket. Is it really that expensive? I just have no clue about prices or how to purchase tickets. As I’ll have to secure flight seats and hotels soon to get a good deal, I’d like to secure game tickets up front as well. How do you do it? Do I register as part of some official game club? Do I have to wait in a queue? Do I have to pay with my liver if I want to secure tickets up front?
Has Proton added this yet? Most competitors I’ve used always had it. Just go to some url and it will tell you if you’re on Proton. So far I’ve just been told to check my ip - this is cumbersome and often impractical. I don’t want to break my connection to compare, I’m on my mobile and VPN is on the WiFi router so if I just disconnects from WiFi that will send me to my carrier network so I can’t compare with the WiFi, I may have VPN also on mobile and want to verify that I stay on proton both on and off WiFi, etc. I think first of all, there should be a clear message when visiting proton sites if I’m on their vpn or not, at least on ProtonVPN, and there should also be a separate url like test.proton.me that tells me just this and is easy to curl etc.
On Reddit, someone was mentioning information and questions in a Drive for macOS channel somewhere, but i can’t find it. Are there other channels / forums than Reddit / Lemmy where such discussion are taking place?

Just in case you wondered how many photos you really can have in your Apple Photos library, I can report that I have so far added 1 000 264 Photos and 10 242 Videos without any issues. I’m fairly impressed and happy about it since all I could find was that it should support up to 100.000 photos, with a few reasoning about the limit being increased to 300.000 on modern hardware.  I’m running this on my MacBook Pro M2 Max with 64 GB ram. Most formats gets converted to HEIC and HEVC on import, which are staggeringly effective compared to their original formats. The whole library file still only takes up 1.7TB, which is much less than expected. The original source on my NAS is around 5.6 TB. Edit: Maybe I should add that I do not recommend this, and view it as an experiment for now. I’m still importing data. If it’s still stable and performant after a year and some OS updates then I can start recommending it.

When is this coming to mobile apps?
So, a month ago or so a limited windows client for proton drive was released for everyone, and at ca the same time this statement was given about macOS beta: > [We'll be expanding the beta over the next days starting with visionary users and our goal is to release it all very soon.](https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonDrive/comments/14xopob/comment/jrps8ev/) Further statements were made about how much quicker the rollout would be than for Windows. However, as a Visionary user, I’ve still heard nothing. Also, there are zero posts about macOS beta on Reddit, so it seems like hardly anyone have been given access to the beta so far. I don’t mind that it takes time. I just can’t fathom why it was necessary to tease it as just around the corner, making it seem like we would get it in a very short time? Who has anything to gain at all from these false promises? It’s annoying when a company I trust and rely upon does so poorly with communication.
Not long ago, Proton had a news blog or email I cannot find that said ProtonVPN had now expanded support for watching streaming services and content like Disney+, NRK etc in Norway, and I see this support article up: https://protonvpn.com/support/watch-nrk-with-vpn/ I always use Proton through WireGuard instead of through the official app since I use a custom DNS setup to avoid ads etc. Do you need to be on Protons app / DNS to get streaming to work? I wish Proton allowed for custom DNS in their iOS app and I wish they said something about streaming services and geo blocks in the app.
So I thought it was worth it to buy the pre season pass so that I could watch the games afterwards instead of staying up at night. But I can’t find anywhere to do it, so… it’s not possible? Payment will only get me permission to stay up at night and watch the games live, and that’s it?
I use system auto theme on my iPhone, which means it switches between light and dark based on time of day (sun). On dark theme, Voyager is fine, but on light theme, Voyager has a color in the top bar that does not work.

So I’ve gone through and deleted all my comments and posts. For now I’ve only edited the content to `. ` or `deleted `. I’ll see if that sticks, and then go through with actual deletion later. However, I have a fair bit of comments in some subreddits that are restricted, like interestingasfuck and jellyfin. Do anyone know if moderators are open to requests for deleting comments? Or have they all left? Edit: Just to be precise, I want to shred my data by overwriting it before I delete it.
I love my time here on Lemmy vs. the recent years on Reddit. However, as we grow there are still a few weird actions / experiences in this vaste and diverse new fediverse of ours. What I wish for more than anything is openness and transparency. With that in mind, * How can I see who is moderators in a community * How can I see what moderator actions has been performed in that community? * And how can I see what kind of moderator actions if any has been taken towards my own posts and comments? These are really Lemmy-generic questions that I don’t know the answers to, but since 99% of my Lemmy explorations have ended up being performed through Voyager, I’m also specifically wondering how I can answer these questions through Voyager.

Both me two colleagues posted questions on various Proton subreddits the last days, and they are all blocked waiting for mod approval. Is moderation just much slower now with the lack of tools, or are Proton no longer officially active on Reddit? I wish they would set up their own Lemmy / Mastodon instance and take questions there instead of deferring to Reddit, Twitter and Instagram.
