  Phishing / spam detection with local LLMs? I’ve tried giving screenshots of phishing emails to a local Qwen instance and so far it always correctly detected it as scam, even points out the exact elements that it based its judgement on. Sending screenshots to it ad-hoc isn’t too scalable for family and friends. I’d like to be able to either forward emails for screening, or perhaps have it screen everything from a mailbox. Has anyone done anything like this? Is there anything self-hostable that...

  Anyone know much about the efficacy of the flu part of it? Says it's more effective than existing ones but is this the revolutionary flu shot that takes us out of the yearly flu vaccine rat race or not that far yet?

  I use Home Assistant (running on Yellow) with ZigBee, Matter/Thread and Z-Wave. If I had to start today, I'd get a Pi 4/5 and Home Assistant ZBT-2. I would not run anything else on the Pi. Let HA OS take it over to ensure smooth updates. Then I'd add ZWA-2 if I need Z-Wave. Not you'd need 2x ZBT-2 if you want both ZigBee and Matter/Thread.

  > People who used AI tools for hints and clarification had a much easier time once the chatbot was removed when compared to those who used the bot to essentially prompt the answers. Probably important for people who want to get some of the benefits of AI without paying the heavier costs. This reminds me of how I used Wolfram Alpha understand solving integrals in multivariate calculus. I paid for subscription that allowed viewing the steps it made to reach a solution. That helped me understan...

  LOL, like we took control after the DotCom crash or The Great Recession, or the pandemic. We can only hope to gain control by organizing and exercizing our labour power. Economically and by extension in AI. Until then, the political class would keep serving whoever holds capital at the moment, bail them out with our surplus and pretend to regulate them.
