This is huge. There's been 3rd party Signal library for this for years -- and for some reason I can't determine, the developers have opted NOT to do this.

Yeah, the Signal team's roadmap seems very strange to me as an outsider. There are some low hanging fruits which they just seem to refuse to fix.

And given how in this case Molly could fix it it cannot have been that hard to fix.

In the 80s I read all the comics compilations from the late 50s -> 70s, that was the golden age of the strip. It was an amazing comic and you'll see why all the strips creators since then were inspired by it.

You’re not the only one talking about just how wonderful the earliest strips were. I think I’ll be checking those out

Yeah, I wonder what gaps in Litellm Proxy made Mozilla want to even do this.

For all my constant freak-outs about AI in general, it turned out to be a godsend last year when my wife’s mom was hospitalized (and later passed away a few weeks afterward). Multimodal ChatGPT had just become available on mobile, so being able to feed it photos of her vital sign monitors to figure out what was going on, have it translate what the doctors were telling us in real time, and explain things clearly made an incredible difference. I even used it to interpret legal documents and compare them with what the attorneys were telling us — again, super helpful.

And when the bills started coming in, it helped there too. Hard to say if we actually saved anything — but it certainly didn’t hurt.

Doubters say it's not as accurate or could hallucinate. But the thing about hiring professionals is that you have to blindly trust them because you'd need to have a professional level of knowledge to qualify who is competent.

LLMs are a good way to double check if the service you're getting is about right or steer them onto the right hypothesis when they have some confirmation bias. This assumes that you know how to prompt it with plenty of information and open questions that don't contain leading presuppositions.

An LLM read my wife's blood lab results and found something the doctor was ignoring.

All these things are language parsing and transforming. That's the kind of thing llms are good at.

And statistical modelling. LLM's must have a weights that associate _seen X chemical high, so Y condition likely follows in the documents I've read_.

This post resurfaced a thought I had. MSFT is really, really pushing AI. It would be really cool if someone attempted, with any of the coding models / agents, to recreate Windows from "scratch". THAT would be very interesting, and useful -- on my levels.

This is what people like Grover Norquist fought hard to stop. They want every part of the tax collecting/paying process as hard as possible:

When I ran the Python Meetup here in Phoenix -- an engineer for Intel's compilers group would show up all the time. I remember he would constantly be frustrated that Intel management would purposely down-play and cripple advances of the Atom processor line because they thought it would be "too good" and cannibalize their desktop lines. This was over 15 years ago -- I was hearing this in real-time. He flat out said that Intel considered the mobile market a joke.

On Snapdragon / ARM Windows, it is the only game in town -- and it works great too!

100% -- firs time I have seen providing a docker compose file is a sign of weakness.

MSFT simply has done half-assed attempts at ARM for each wave / attempt over the past 10+ years. APPL, for each processor move, "bet the company" and it was full speed ahead whereas MSFT has never HAD to align everything for a move.

Having said all that, I've been using a Snapdragon Elite X laptop since day one and the experience has gotten better over the year plus I've been using it. Once there was a native port of command line git (yes, THAT didn't even work) - my life got a lot better.
