Question. How will this play with distributions like graphene that allow for no Google play services?

In the age of vibe coding and that we are literally talking about a single markdown file I am sure this has been well tested and achieves all of its goals with statistical accuracy, no side effects with no issues.

You can do some signing hackery and allow Emacs to see executables from termux https://gsilvers.github.io/me/posts/20250921-emacs-on-androi...

For anyone who ends up here and curious.

It also behaves weirdly if you use a VPN.

As someone who saw this and was interested but also skeptical of this being low effort are there other open projects for running small models locally on android / iOS?

I've found https://github.com/alichherawalla/off-grid-mobile-ai but haven't tried anything in this space yet.

Stop using MIT licensed software being run by small vc backed operations if you value stability. They are risky and often costly Trojan horses.

The software designed car and continued price growth of automobiles is going to push them out of price range for consumers. Maybe Honda just wants to go out of a dying industry on good terms.

Good to see you kicking around and here in a thread about things small enough to think about! I've not seen any blog posts from you in a while Kartik but I come back to your lua musings from time to time.

I don't think you are being naive but I do caution you before you don't worry.

Its not always clear what the desired outcome is here. The dark pattern could have nothing to do with the tracking most folks worry about. We like our phones more than our laptops because we touch the screens for example. The dark pattern here could simply be you use the site more because you do more actions there driving you to waste time and view ads. Who knows.

That's awesome and based on my experience I'm not shocked this went well. I'm not sure what the features would be in this but I am assuming they could be specific pixel combinations or other things which would be easily labeled in a few ways. I hope you had fun with it.

My previous project was far from that. https://healthverity.com/audience-manager/

I had a lot of fun, really the last fun project I've had. I hope you had fun as well.

I worked (professionally) on a product a few years ago based upon decision tree and random forest classifiers. I had no background in the math and had to learn this stuff which has payed dividends as llms and AI have become hyped. This is one of the best explanations I've seen and has me super nostalgic for that project.

Gonna try to cook up something personal. It's amazing how people are now using regression models basically all the time and yet no-one uses these things on their own.

Why does everyone associated with this administration sound like a 17 year old who got dumped when they post on twitter.

I've had a Mac rather than a Linux machine at home for the last five or so years. Before that the arch wiki saved the day for me so many times.

Reading this has me looking for a junker laptop on eBay.

Full disclosure this is my employer but I find HN is a bit GLP1 engaged so I figured it was a good share. Do folks here anecdotally follow this trend of not continuing these drugs long term?

GLP1 adherence lower in the real world

Why should booting a Linux VM require network access right away.

I'm thinking maybe they just want me to keep using termux over their sketchy shit

Add to this list that it tends to not work while connected via a VPN. Not sure why but this makes me very skeptical of it.

I dunno I just copied it into emacs. Another free short story to keep in my digital collection.
