Came here for this. I hate it too. When I make a site with dark mode, I make sure the dark color loads by default and then changes to light if needed to address this specific issue.
That's helpful insight. My prediction is that as it keeps getting more expensive for the big players to run these models, we will start to see some kind of hybrid workload where they offload some of the work to your computer for smaller agents while keeping the orchestration and planning running in the data centers.
So I think the investment in the extra hardware is worth it, even if you don't currently plan on running LLMs locally.
I don't yet know how to give it money to spend. I could give it a small crypto wallet, but few places accept that as currency. I was thinking of using one of those virtual credit card services that lets me set limits and block certain merchants. I will treat it like an intern. If it can show responsibility and reliability with small amounts then I will slowly increase its spending limit over time (and depending on the nature of the tasks it's performing).
The slippery slope argument is no doubt a valid one. But Apple specifically implemented (almost) the CSAM scanning after being threatened by multiple politicians - notably Lindsey Graham - that if they didn’t find a solution that they would legislate a backdoor into the OS for law enforcement. I think Apple was doing everything they could to appease the demand without actually violating users’ privacy. While it’s clear they failed to please end users, the solution itself was pretty ingenious.
Ditto, but the fact that they still can’t handle more than ~300k files is a long-standing problem they have yet to solve. I have close to a million syncing files and startup time for the app takes about 20 minutes on a brand new MBP, and CPU and overall energy usage is ridiculously high. All while they keep pushing me to backup more files.
I pay over $700/ yr for their business plan and would like to have better performance for it.
I’m fully in the camp who believes critical, top-level security should not co-exist with npm pulling dozens of 3rd party libraries which each pull even more 4th party code.
Is there anyone here with a counter argument? Has a security review been performed on each dependency? Any reason to think my fear is unfounded?
You might double check which version you’re on. Might still be on v7.
> the industry should collectively come up with a solution that incentivizes app developers away from electron rather than hoping they swim against the current of incentive.
They have the financial resources to build it in ~Rust but still chose electron. It’s a mind boggling decision.
