Who on Apple design team thought removing launchpad was a good idea? Spotlight increases the time it takes to launch my apps. I have to scroll or type instead of just clicking.

To check the GPT5 API I have to give biometric data! That’s not going to happen.

Trying GPT5. It’s a lot colder in its responses. It failed to solve a riddle and then appeared annoyed when I pointed it out.
Sure GPT4 couldn’t get it either, but at least it wasn’t stroppy about it.

Using LoRA with Granite 3.3

LoRA stands for "Low rank adaptation" which is a way to fine tune LLMs fast and cheap, while mitigating "Model collapse" that can happen with normal transfer learning. It does this by locking down the model except for a few parts that you can tweak.

How does teacher @jenroberts.bsky.social persuade students not to use AI in academically dishonest ways?
“Once my students know that I am knowledgeable, that AI is fallible, and that AI writing is easy to spot, the temptation to use it seems to drop a lot.” Here are her strategies. 💻
