I’m also a software engineer, but much earlier in my career and mostly having worked at small startups. But I hope some of the tech giants fall and make way for smaller players and innovation. But maybe that’s too optimistic.

This is insane. Idk what google is thinking.

I’m pretty sure they discovered in the google monopoly case that google realized a couple years ago that a worse search experience would not negatively impact their bottom line. So makes sense

I don’t think it summarizes single texts. Maybe really long ones? But “stacks” of texts, it will summarize.

It’s summarized an any “stack” of notifications. So a bunch of messages from the same group chat, or a single app sending you a bunch of notifications, etc.

I’ve only been trying it for like 48 hours, but so far I’m impressed considering this is a local LLM running on my phone.

It’s been a year or so since I’ve gone down this rabbit hole, but what I remember, the more you block ads and tracker, the more unique your browser becomes, and the more fingerprintable it is.

Tor’s approach is to make every instance if the tor browser look as identical as possible to websites. But Tor is pretty niche. If Apple did the same with Safari, you would be an identical device in a match larger pool of devices.

I think Apple has taken some measures, but not as well as Tot has.

Btw it’s possible to fingerprint people with JavaScript disabled. I found this article explaining and demonstrating if you’re curious.
