How? It's all on machine. Which is the point.

Doing inference locally is a significant improvement, but other issues remain, like prompt injection and data exfiltration.

Especially if the whole point is to have it search through a giant pile of arbitrary un-vetted stuff, like all the emails you ever received from anybody.


That people still put sensitive information into cloud based AIs still boggles my mind.

And this right here is why I think Apple should have renamed the new stuff to something else. Go into Settings/Siri, enable Apple Intelligence (you will probably have to join the waitlist), give it a day or two to re-index and then try.

I think you will be astonished at the difference in behavior. It's night and day.


Did you go into Siri and join the waitlist for Apple Intelligence?

If not, you’re still using spotlight so the behavior is 100% expected.

Yes, Apple could do a better job making it more obvious but then again Apple Intelligence is Beta so I can see why they require a positive action right now to enable it.


Yes - if Cities were so inherently attractive why did so many willingly flee them during the pandemic and not return?


The pandemic was not a normal situation. There are centuries of evidence about cities, pre- and now post-pandemic.

Some clear empirical data is housing prices: People are willing to pay far more to live in many cities than anywhere else, often for much smaller residences.


Different strokes for different folks. There's an attraction to having more space/less noise/etc. and being able to travel into a big city for activities without too much hassle/time. There's also an attraction to having a probably smaller place and just walk/cab/transit to those activities.

I ended up mostly gravitating to the former but I understand the attraction of the latter and, who knows, I may change my preference some day.


Probably because the things that make cities attractive were literally outlawed during COVID?


Framed differently, I think that for most people, jobs are the primary driver for urbanization.


If Apple hadn't adopted USB for the iMac, especially the fruity colored iMacs, which then spawned hundreds if not thousands of brightly colored accessories, who knows if it ever would have taken off on the PC side of things. I still see the occasional motherboard with a PS/2 port :p


Yes, agreed... on both.


My favorite were SCSI network adapters and SCSI "graphics cards". Ah, the days before USB!


Based on what? The receiver knows where it is since it has GPS. Starlink knows the orbits of their own satellites. Why wouldn't they queue up connections to upcoming satellites and then hand off from one to the next in anticipation of the one you are on eventually rotating out?

What's up with the apparent assumption they only track one satellite at a time or until there is a communication problem? That would be stupid (and why they obviously don't do that).


Based on life experience with anything wireless.

From cellphones to wifi to bluetooth, it's all shit compared to fiber.


Group coaching has been a godsend for me. Find a local group or join a virtual one like https://www.adhdrewired.com/about/


Also lots of great resources here: https://romankogan.net/adhd/


"FWIW Grainger has created a consumer-targeted website called Zoro"

How the heck did I not know this existed? Thanks!
