This was expected.
Apple will carefully choose what & how people can use AI in their ecosystem and will make sure of it. I hope "Apple Foundation Models" Eco-system grows with support from major model providers.
As I read this, all of my favorite things about ruby compared to something like python were influenced by lisp.
Ruby is a joy to program and it seems mostly due to design influence from lisp.
I have always been fascinated by Hash Functions.
Modern hash functions are incredibly fast and unbelievably secure (crypto hashes).
Also, equally important is how hashes have adopted to the usecases. We are intentionally developing slow hashes (BCrypt, Argon2id) with memory, time tradeoff to slow down hash generation as a security measure. One of the fascinating corners of Computers
Take a fast, small and powerful LLM running locally to index my personal data like images, videos, documents and enrich them and tag with the enriched metadata.
Want to group by people - Search tagged metadata and group it
What to search an image by description - tagged metadata
What to organize by anything - tagged metadata
This should (hopefully) put an end to my file clutter
Deletes are Writes and Writes are resource intensive. This is more prominent on databases like Elastic Search.
When I was tasked to delete millions of (old) documents, it overloaded the cluster and almost brought it down. Only scalable solution was to split the index and drop the whole index.
I honestly don't think this is bad. For anyone who is not a frontend engineer / designer, using tailwind gives good defaults and better LLM support.
Frameworks were always about lowering the bar for entry with cost to genuine new design. The alternative is worse than this. I honestly prefer this over a backend engineer using WordPress / static site generators / other no-code platforms.
> MiMo Code is a terminal-based coding agent built by Xiaomi's MiMo team on top of OpenCode and open-sourced under the MIT license.
I think it is great that they built it on top of open code. Open Code harness is good and I want it to grow. Harness is very important and more projects use it, the more it is adopted.
> If Fable had been acting on malicious instructions—a prompt injection attack ... it’s alarming to think quite how far it could go to exfiltrate data or cause other forms of mischief.
Yet another reminder to use Sandbox and Guardrails. Trusting model to be nice is not a good way.
I'm worried at the general direction of this.
More and more companies will gatekeep the model capability even if it is just a few percent increase in capabilities than other models.
Lot of companies will start doing this in various degrees.
The line that stuck with me: "Recovery after congestion collapse is an uncommon regime, but it is exactly the regime a congestion controller exists to handle."
This generalizes well beyond congestion control.
Most control loops have the same property. The path the system follows 99% of the time gets well-exercised; the path it falls into when things go wrong is the path you actually need to be correct on. There's usually no way to discover the bug until you deliberately drive the system into the bad regime and watch it try to climb out.
