Seriously, why can't we just have a law that makes entirely illegal the retention of any personally identifiable information in any way that is legible to the retainer.

You can store my data for me, but only encrypted, and it can be decrypted only in a sandbox. And the output of the sandbox can be sent only back to me, the user. Decrypting the personal data for any other use is illegal. If an audit shows a failure here, the company loses 1% of revenue the first time, then 2%, then 4, etc.

And companies must offer to let you store all of your own data on your own cloud machine. You just have to open a port to them with some minimum guarantees of uptime, etc. They can read/write a subset of data. The schema must be open to the user.

Any systems that have been developed from personal user data (i.e. recommendation engines, trained models) must be destroyed. Same applies: if you're caught using a system that was trained in the past on aggregated data across multiple users, you face the same percentage fines.

The only folks who maybe get a pass are public healthcare companies for medical studies.

Fixed.

(But yeah it'll never happen because most of the techies are eager to screw over everyone else for their own gain. And they'll of course tell you it's to make the services better for you.)

Agree. Also they say it’s not personally identifiable if they know everything about you but associates it as anonymously. Basically renaming you to random artifact. Fees La like major loophole. That’s why I don’t like chrome.

Saying that I think I am already hooked on free and/or easy to search etc etc BS. Basically take my data for convenience and some advanced tech. Honestly feels like addiction.

Resonates well with me. I was thinking same lately as many other comments.

Random stranger on Reddit mentioned - *The art of frugal hedonism* https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/216874949

This book is indeed eye opener. Though I am too deep to turn around quickly without crashing I am well on may way and there is many more miles to go. Hoping to take few of my friends with me too.

Duckduckgo browser is highly rated than Firefox in Apple Store. Has anyone tried it? Is it really better than Firefox?

Unfortunately apply doesn’t allow ublock in Firefox like android.

PS this comment is with reference to Apple Store and policies discussion in one of the threads

I moved from Chrome to Firefox for this.

And found out Firefox is much better browser than Chrome anyway. Moved due to post here as well. Can’t find the post easily to link here for credit.

This is great. Maybe having total or stats/tools for comparison will be awesome plus.

Set input and output and check cost.

Nvidia already has unified memory on Grace Blackwell etc.

I guess M5 Blackwell could be better, but there are business and technical barriers to making that happen.

I meant Apple ecosystem does not support NVIDIA GPUs anymore. NVIDIA itself with CUDA Support DMA.

I’ve come to hate Notion with passion because of its abysmal performance, but I still pay for it for my small business. My non-technical employees use it as a database for clients, tasks, payments etc. I tried to research replacements several times, and still haven’t found anything good. Sometimes I wonder if I should build my own.
tekawade · 7 months ago
There are many suggestions already let me through in one more: Affine : https://affine.pro/

You can self host too if you like. Not all features as Notion but comes very close. Seems more private too compared to Notion.

I am also looking for more private and secure Notion alternatives. My company doesn’t allow using Notion.

I like templates, tasks, scrum etc. which I use for personal use. But I am reluctant on saving any personal information in it.

Just curious. I'm a Rust developer. But I don't see myself discriminating between tools written in C, C++, Rust, Zig, etc. They all seem easy to install and use, as long as they're reasonably bugfree. Scripting languages are slightly different as they require me to maintain their respective interpreters and tools on my system. What difference do you see between applications written in Rust and those written in other compiled languages?
tekawade · 7 months ago
What @tkcranny said. They are better usability now and more sensible defaults. I also find them marginally faster.

I also using them as way of supporting them. Tmux is great and I have used for years. Zellij is not there yet but does some things better than tmux too.

So to make sure I understand, this would mean:

1. Programs built against MLX -> Can take advantage of CUDA-enabled chips

but not:

2. CUDA programs -> Can now run on Apple Silicon.

Because the #2 would be a copyright violation (specifically with respect to NVidia's famous moat).

Is this correct?

tekawade · 7 months ago
I want #3 be able to connect NVIDIA GPU with Apple Silicon and run CUDA. Take advantage of apple silicon + unified memory + GPU + CUDA with PyTorch, JAX or TensorFlow.

Haven’t really explored MLX so can’t speak about it.

Anthropic ARR went $1B -> $4B in the first half of this year. They're getting my $200 a month and it's easily the best money I spend. There's definitely something there.

Genuinely curious for the value add with Claude code here. Some perspective and/or data is appreciated.
