Andrej Karpathy endorses Apple Intelligence

Actually, really liked the Apple Intelligence announcement. It must be a very exciting time at Apple as they layer AI on top of the entire OS. A few of the major themes.

Step 1 Multimodal I/O. Enable text/audio/image/video capability, both read and write. These are the native human APIs, so to speak.

Step 2 Agentic. Allow all parts of the OS and apps to inter-operate via "function calling"; kernel process LLM that can schedule and coordinate work across them given user queries.

Step 3 Frictionless. Fully integrate these features in a highly frictionless, fast, "always on", and contextual way. No going around copy pasting information, prompt engineering, or etc. Adapt the UI accordingly.

Step 4 Initiative. Don't perform a task given a prompt, anticipate the prompt, suggest, initiate.

Step 5 Delegation hierarchy. Move as much intelligence as you can on device (Apple Silicon very helpful and well-suited), but allow optional dispatch of work to cloud.

Step 6 Modularity. Allow the OS to access and support an entire and growing ecosystem of LLMs (e.g. ChatGPT announcement).

Step 7 Privacy. <3

We're quickly heading into a world where you can open up your phone and just say stuff. It talks back and it knows you. And it just works. Super exciting and as a user, quite looking forward to it.

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.

Hi everyone! We're incredibly excited to announce that we're launching a beta of Finamp's redesign today. This is a major update to the app, and we're looking for feedback from anyone willing to try it out before we roll it out to everyone.

The beta is a work-in-progress, there are several new features already, but we will be adding more features over time.

Looks very nice!

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.

At Proton, we’re always working on new and innovative ways to protect the privacy and data of the Proton community.

Yeah, I guess that’s nice. I do like Proton.

I’d love for Proton to focus on completing some current services and make them actually usable though.

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.

Are there any modern games like Carmageddon?

The freedom of that game was fantastic. You could finish the race, but you could also instead waste all your opponents instead and / or electrocute zombies and perform epic stunts.

Setting the app icon for Voyager seems to only apply to the icon shown for the app on the selected screen, but it does not for example apply to the icon shown for the running apps carousel.

Sometimes I accidentally hide posts by swipe gesture.

These posts are forever gone :/

Can functionality be added so that we can see and unhide hidden posts?

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.
