remember when corporate PR launches in tech were attended by journalists who didn't clap. it wasn't a party, it was a thing you had to cover. and now I'm going back to crumble into dust.

as many of you know (and disapprove of), my beef here is not with an on-device LLM. it’s about so many other things! first of all who needs quick theory on the go? second of all having a tool “just for leftist activists” on your phone is not a great idea. third of all, having a “private” and a “not-really-private” version of the same product is a disaster waiting to happen, i could go on.

a confusing thing about English is the existence of the “evening” which doesn’t exist in Spanish. for many of us 1am to noon is the morning, noon to 7pm is afternoon, and the rest of it is night. you could add a “madrugada” from midnight to 4-5am but that’s more imprecise.
