I did some googling and it seems you are right, at least for now. I expect Linux support for ARM macs will continue to expand.

As far as I can tell it’s a limitation if moving from the more popular x86 to ARM with some other hardware related caveats. Importantly, the macs are aren’t locked from booting other OSes, its just the hardware support hasn’t caught up yet.

Strictly limited to MacOS, no Linux no nothing.

You can run Linux on the ARM MacBooks.

Qwen 3.5 can be run via ollama

Qwen 3.5 is one of the best of the open-weight (self-host able) models right now. It’s not as good as some of the extra massive proprietary models like the bigger Claude models.

These days we have websites for exactly that purpose.

A lot of the major furniture in my apartment came from people getting rid of stuff that I found via free-and-for-sale pages.

Just make it “dee” like how people pronounce “D20” and it can keep “dice” as its plural.

Signal already has that setting. It’s up to the user to decide their level of convenience vs security.

NileRed is basically an actually skilled scientist trying to do alchemy with the vibes of a high school student.

data security in that case had nothing to do with the llm

That’s kinda my point.

“I don’t trust companies to hold their promises” is a very different argument from:

LLMs are inherently bad at data security and there is no way these companies can, in good faith, promise HIPPA compliance

It is certainly possible to implement a secure LLM service.

High physical fitness is a requirement and that helps with the jaw line

Phone, wallet, keys, and headphones

This is about extracting data that was used as training data. Just don’t do that with sensitive data.

LLMs are inherently bad at data security and there is no way these companies can, in good faith, promise HIPPA compliance

This is simply false. AI sucks but it doesn’t help to lie about it.

EDIT:

Go run a local model on your own computer, and delete the context when you are done. Boom you just used an LLM in a way that maintains your data security.

That fake moon landing movie might be the worst movie I’ve ever seen

I have a bare private git repo on my homeland server. Not great for sharing my work but great for personal projects.

LLMs tend to be a “jack of all trades, master of none”. You are likely to find them useful for helping you with something you are inexperienced at, but not at something you are an expert in. However, because they lie a lot, it’s best to double-check your information, but the LLM can still be helpful with the ”you don’t know what you don’t know” issue.

That’s rock

Two weeks is about how long I took when I made that trip, but I did some sightseeing on the way. Also even on the longest day I don’t think I drove for 10 hours in one day.

Natural disaster -> no longer can access everything you have online, including bank and insurance accounts, at precisely the time you most don’t want to deal with that.
