I would love this tbh, but it's just that context window issue for me right now. For my personal use, I have a MacBook Air M5 (maxed out), but I don't think I can run anything decent with large context window (for longer chat sessions) on it. I should also mention that I'm still learning about LLMs, so if I've missed something please do let me know. Running local LLMs is something I'm very interested in.
> Logseq is cool, but the desktop client is slow and keyboard usability is low.
this was my issue as well: both the desktop app and the ios app feel slow and clunky, and i don't think they have gotten any meaningful updates in a very long time... i do love logseq, but i have since built that workflow into obsidian through a bunch of templates and plugins.
I would love to be proven wrong, but if you ignore all the hype pieces and (from what I can tell) a TON of pseudo-scientific shit floating around, while it's possible to make these systems as accurate as possible, they would still be fundamentally unreliable since the systems aren't deterministic. Try asking the usual "is 9.11 greater than 9.9" question, on my last test with 3.7 Sonnet it first said "yes" and then eventually converged to "no". Quite hilarious at times.
Point being, LLMs don't really understand what they're saying; they're just predicting the next word. I'm not trying to downplay that, by the way - it's all very impressive. But it's not intelligent intelligent, and I think we should all be wary of comments like "oh we should just keep throwing more compute and data at it and consciousness/self awareness would eventually emerge". I think that's just fodder to raise/burn VC money (and the planet).
I fucking hate LinkedIn so much it's unreal. When it comes to that platform, I lose all rationality altogether. Perhaps I need to go to therapy, but not before LinkedIn influencers are all assembled in the town square and publicly executed for their crimes upon humanity.

I feel like there's heavy observation bias here. Maybe you had a bad experience or two, but I've been living in London for the past 4 years and haven't had any such encounter(s) so far. You make it sound like London's some third world warzone; I personally felt that New York, SF, and LA were far more unsafe when I was living there with the amount of homeless people and fentanyl addicts walking around.
A bit OT - how do I work on developing the skill set necessary to find vulnerabilities like these? Should I take some particular courses, or some other “track” of sorts? At the moment, I have an undergraduate in Computer Sciences, and I’d say I’m a fairly OK programmer.
