I am curious if this will bend.
punitvthakkar··on I have left Branch and am no longer involved with Nova Launcher
The first app I ever paid for, even when I didn't have any money to pay for apps. Miss you, Nova Launcher.
punitvthakkar··on Experimenting with Local LLMs on macOS
Whoa. I didn't think about using embeddings for screenshot management. How would I do this?
punitvthakkar··on Experimenting with Local LLMs on macOS
All totally valid points and insights. This is great, thank you!
punitvthakkar··on Experimenting with Local LLMs on macOS
Yes - emergency use cases make tons of sense.
punitvthakkar··on Experimenting with Local LLMs on macOS
That is fascinating. One insight I read about LLMs is that they do represent a world-view of the people who train it, and hence the country that ships the dominant LLM technology can spread widely its world-view on others. Your experience seems to validate that insight.

So far I've not run into the kind of use cases that local LLMs can convincingly provide without making me feel like I'm using the first ever ChatGPT from 2022, in that they are limited and quite limiting. I am curious about what use cases the community has found that work for them. The example that one user has given in this thread about their local LLM inventing a Sun Tzu interview is exactly the kind of limitation I'm talking about. How does one use a local LLM to do something actually useful?
punitvthakkar··on Show HN: Goodreads for Newsletters
Thanks for sharing this, and great work on the website. It seems extremely polished and well made. I've submitted my newsletter as well <https://hellouniverse.substack.com>, hope you'll be able to feature it. Just one input - the categories when submitting are a bit limiting - could you add a category of creative writing as well? Would be relevant for writers like me.
