They are building OSes like RAM is free.

    i don’t mind terribly local ai models whatever, local photolibraries has been doing them for a while, i mind a lot unobvious behavior (bias). win10 start search is also biased to local, it’s still feeds everything into bing

    also, linux is shit at using npu, how on earth are they integrating this stuff, on gpus? (i think they’ve integrated them in last 6 months, with questionable availability on other open software to them, ollama or otherwise)

      Yeah it’s pretty neat, sort of feels like you are running your own personal surveillance program on your friends.

      For me at least it’s pretty counterproductive if the OS indexes all contents of all my files and includes them in a global search. That’s just going to be a lot of noise and lead to worse search results. And it’s a huge drain on computer resources and battery life. I don’t like it on MacOS either. And that to me seems like one of the most conservative adoption scenarios.

      Canonical could just fix that probably.

        it’s more like multitude of albums concurrently existing (by date/location/people/animals) tbh, it’s not like i surveil anything we didn’t take picture together of.

        the most conservative and sane way is probably voice to text and translation, they can be neatly collapsed in local submenus, the search is meh-meh, unless you drown in myriads of docs, not named and sorted, its not even doing anything mega neat without ram usage

          You are creating pretty tight social graph of all the events you were invited to/took pictures at. And a facial recognition db.

          A couple of decades ago that would have been some advanced intelligence agency shit.
