The image-to-text model is impressive. I could see it being useful for smart search of your library, allowing users to find photos with a high-level description.

I’m not sure why it’s being reported on as though the technology is a privacy or security threat, though. If you’ve given a storage provider access to your photos anyway, using a vision model isn’t going to give them anything extra.

That said, I do love self-hosted photo solutions like Immich and Ente. Hope they continue to grow.

Whether the new Apple Intelligence features are useful depends on who you ask. But I do greatly appreciate that inference is performed on-device. I think that’s a step in the right direction.

No thank you

Human-generated slop has been flooding Medium since forever

Thou shalt not browse The Internet

I’ve been using Zen Browser on macOS and Linux for a few months now. It’s a great browser experience, and I hope it gains traction. One thing it currently lacks that I’d like to see is a tab group feature like Chrome.

Nope. Snowflake has been around for a while. I’ve been running my node for at least a year now

Sick photos!

I thought it was going to be the Chinese lady who recorded, “the Bluetooth device is ready to pair” 😂

Finally! I’ve always been enamored with Swift, but Linux compatibility has been a consistent pain point. Can’t wait to give it a try

Terrifying

:D

No support for the Fold? ;-;

I’m going to give it a try :)

“Found”

Interesting. Scary.

So cute! The roast site made me laugh, but this is wholesome. The world needs both ;)

I highly recommend “Essentials of Compilation” by Jeremy Siek, which explores the same nano-pass approach using both Python and Racket. His course is easily one of my favorites.

Safari refers to it as “Privacy-Preserving Ad Measurement”, and Chrome includes an option as part of its “Privacy Sandbox.” Please have the decency to do a basic google search before being an asshole :)

Literally every browser has this option, and it gives users a choice. If you use an ad blocker, it has this option as well and has had it for several years now.
