Easy for everyday users to deal with, and effective for verifying humans vs bots.

But holy hell, if your phone is a requirement to access sites and you have to go through the security theater like a work device and setting this behavior as a default assumption to have? Ugh. The privacy and security implications of this is quite ugly to think about too, now that Google can link your devices to a stronger degree with this approach.

The lines drawn by their consumer vs commercial TOS was clear and I never subscribed because of it.

Back in the days of GPT-3.5, LiteLLM was one of the projects that helped provide a reliable adapter for projects to communicate across AI labs' APIs and when things drifted ever so slightly despite being an "OpenAI-compatible API", LiteLLM made it much easier for developers to use it rather than reinventing and debugging such nuances.

Nowadays, that gateway of theirs isn't also just a funnel for centralizing API calls but it also serves other purposes, like putting guardrails consistently across all connections, tracking key spend on tokens, dispensing keys without having to do so on the main platforms, etc.

There's also more to just LiteLLM being an inference gateway too, it's also a package used by other projects. If you had a project that needed to support multiple endpoints as fallback, there's a chance LiteLLM's empowering that.

Hence, supply chain attack. The GitHub issue literally has mentions all over other projects because they're urged to pin to safe versions since they rely on it.

Checking the settings also tells me that Segmentation (used in Object Selection) is provided but Depth Estimation (used in Portrait Blur and Select Sampled Depth tools), Colorization (used in Colorize filter, apparently intended to colorize B&W photos) and Super Resolution (used in Super Resolve filter) are all paywalled.

Honestly, I think that's fine. While I'd wish these are all available (and they could be if you looked hard enough for models that can do this) for a flat price (for parts that are not handled server-side), this is still imho mostly fair.

Funnily enough, I was quite savvy with the features several years ago but as my work changed and things aren't as easy to list down like a routine or in neatly defined projects and such.

And when regular tasks becomes freeform, it's no surprise that a plaintext file is sufficient.

- The app didn't have any updates since July 2024, then got a handful of commits last June and no recent commits ever since.

- I've tried to calibrate with it and managed to discharge but failed to charge back up. It's not a big deal since I could force it back with a `battery charging on`.

- There's also [some issues](https://github.com/actuallymentor/battery/issues/322) reported which [I've also experienced](https://github.com/actuallymentor/battery/issues/301) on my end.

So it works, but it has some complications to keep in mind. Apparently [someone forked it](https://github.com/js4jiang5/BatteryOptimizer_for_MAC) and aimed to fix some of the issues, but the fork is err, opinionated and may or may not be ideal.

I feel like they're competing against Hugging Face or even Colaboratory then if this is the case.

And for cases that require strict privacy control, I don't think I'd run it on emergent models or if I really have to, I would prefer doing so on an existing cloud setup already that has the necessary trust / compliance barriers addressed. (does Ollama Turbo even have their Trust center up?)

I can see its potential once it gets rolling, since there's a lot of ollama installations out there.

I've been using this setup for several months now (over a year?) and it's very effective.

The proxy also benefits pretty much any other application you have that recognizes an OpenAI-compatible API. (Or even if it doesn't)

Well, I learned something new today. I always thought the pencils were part of the group but apparently they're not.

Seeing the iconic three diamond mark along with the name always made me think the pencils were related to the cars.

I went from being unorganized to somewhat organized, then went back and now it's a case of "I'll keep things organized when it makes sense, but the rest is up to my memory, the natural way of doing things and wherever I left it."

I'm just going to try the next thing, see and adopt whatever works, but if it doesn't, I'll just stick to whatever does.

At the end of the day, it's up to our brains on whether to use systems or not and if they fit our needs or if it doesn't.

When links in email come into mind, so does phishing.

I hate these magic links a lot.

It's inelegant and could be better, but good enough.

And it looks very handy! I'll use this myself because I do want to invoke OpenAI and other cloud providers just like I do in ollama and piping things around and this accomplishes that, and more.

I guess you can also accomplish similar results if you're just looking for `/chat/completions` and such if you configured something like LiteLLM and connecting that to ollama and any other service.

I agree. I've been keeping track of FIDO tokens and where they work in my password manager and it's great.

I honestly want to extend this idea not just to FIDO tokens, but for anything that would ever need to be revoked and replaced. So stuff like FIDO tokens, 2FA secrets, Passkeys (both already handled by my password manager), payment methods, GPG keys and such.

You don't even press the keyboard to start, but you position the mouse over the window's titlebar and just use two-finger swipes. The website's homepage does a better job demonstrating it under a minute.

Everything that is magic will be labeled under AI for now, until it gets seated into their proper terms and are only closely discussed by those who are actually driving innovation in the space or are just casually using the applications in business or private.

The closest I can think of is expanding one item's preview by pressing Shift after Cmd+Opt+C but not the history window itself.

> As a developer, my requirements are:

> 1. Keyboard-centric operation to avoid using the mouse. I don’t want to waste my time moving my hands from the keyboard.

> 2. Display many clipboard history items at once. I don’t like the idea with big tiles, so I can see only 5-7 history items on my 32” monitor.

> 3. Full content preview for each clipboard item.

> 4. Quick search functionality.

But... Alfred literally does all of these? It's part of the paid features though and thankfully yours is free. But still, the functionality is mostly there and I'm actually curious about comparing what you've built versus theirs. https://www.alfredapp.com/help/features/clipboard/

But for some reason, they decided to just stick to feature tidbits here and there and chose not to roll out quality-of-life UI features to make Gemini use easier on normal apps and not just select Google apps. And then it's also limited by various factors. They were obviously testing the waters and were just as cautious, but imho it was a damn shame. Even summarization and key points would've been nice if I could invoke it on any text field.

But yeah, this is truly the ecosystem benefit in full force here for Apple, and they're making good use of it.
