Yea, it is

For both iMessage and RCS, your phone number essentially acts like a username. Both services communicate with the carrier to “claim” it, otherwise everything would arrive as an SMS.

I’ve got an M4 Mac mini with 32 GB of unified memory, so I can run MoE models in the <40B parameter range quite comfortably. I use LM Studio as the backend with Hermes as the frontend. Works great for everyday chat, web search, and RAG.

I am not in the AI==bad camp because I believe in nuance. I see a lot of people shit on Firefox for integrating LLM-related features. What the blog post points out and people fail to recognize is that if Mozilla stopped maintaining Firefox, almost all of its forks would die. People make similar arguments about Canonical and Ubuntu. Would these people pay Mozilla or Canonical for their work? The corporate investors do. I’m not saying I agree with it all, but that’s how it works.

People love to shit on Ubuntu, but I do think it’s important to remember that their primary customers are enterprises. That’s what pays the bills, and it’s also the reason that it’s so well-supported. And since it’s still Linux, you can disable or remove anything you disagree with, or go with a fork that’s done that heavy lifting for you. Some companies (and individuals) will want the best-in-class Linux support for AI inference. Get over it.

It’s not that there aren’t some risks to LLMs that produce illicit output, but the training data that made such output possible is openly available online already. As far as the risks of flooding the web with misinformation and propaganda, well…

“iCal” is often used to refer to Apple’s calendar serrvice. Using DAV5x is the preferred way to sync this to your Android device

Create an app-specific password for your Apple account. You can use that to log into iCloud from DAV5x with the “login with email address” option. This will add the account to your system, making it accessible from any calendar app including Fossify Calendar.
