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.

Anyone else enjoying a cigar in the snow?

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.

I'm fine with the Proton Mail desktop client being an Electron app, but it still need to use desktop-based interactions. For example, when right clicking on the inbox, I expect to see options to mark all as read etc. - not an Inspect Element menu (that actually works and opens up devtools inside Proton Mail).

And to those that can't cope with 3981 unread emails - I've just imported from Gmail, and a lot of them appeared as unread, which is why I'm now looking for a way to mark all as read.

I want to travel to London and catch a game some time in February - April.

The only options I can find from Norway to purchase currently costs around £700 per ticket.

Is it really that expensive? I just have no clue about prices or how to purchase tickets. As I’ll have to secure flight seats and hotels soon to get a good deal, I’d like to secure game tickets up front as well.

How do you do it? Do I register as part of some official game club? Do I have to wait in a queue? Do I have to pay with my liver if I want to secure tickets up front?

Has Proton added this yet? Most competitors I’ve used always had it. Just go to some url and it will tell you if you’re on Proton.

So far I’ve just been told to check my ip - this is cumbersome and often impractical. I don’t want to break my connection to compare, I’m on my mobile and VPN is on the WiFi router so if I just disconnects from WiFi that will send me to my carrier network so I can’t compare with the WiFi, I may have VPN also on mobile and want to verify that I stay on proton both on and off WiFi, etc.

I think first of all, there should be a clear message when visiting proton sites if I’m on their vpn or not, at least on ProtonVPN, and there should also be a separate url like test.proton.me that tells me just this and is easy to curl etc.

On Reddit, someone was mentioning information and questions in a Drive for macOS channel somewhere, but i can’t find it.

Are there other channels / forums than Reddit / Lemmy where such discussion are taking place? X? - I’d hate to have to reinstall it.

Edit: Also, I guess, this could stay as a thread for the topic here on Lemmy.

I just released Pixel Pals 2! 🎉 With iOS 17 you now have a FULL virtual pets experience where you can add and battle friends, and play full games, like PixelQuest, 2048, and Eternal Stroll, all right on your literal home screen! (Plus fidget spinners, mech keyboards, and more!)
