Worth noting that if you want a local LLM on android MLCChat can run Vicuna-7B, RedPajama and several other models from huggingface on fairly average hardware. The interface is still basic but it's functional.

Oh nice. An entire language that is write-only.

Anyone who isn't at least mildly interested that you know Morse code isn't someone you want to know :-)

Good filter technique.

No. I only use Android as my PC via AR glasses. Is there even any antivirus software for Android? Probably, but I don't care I guess. Never had a problem.

I'm just using a Samsung S20+. You need a Samsung if you want Dex.

My phone is my sole PC and has been for about 7 months now. I use it for everything. I'm using nreal AR glasses for a massive virtual 80" screen via Dex. I use a Bluetooth mouse and mechanical keyboard. I use libre office for real work, I do development work right on the phone. I also use andronix on the phone for when I need a more full blown Linux desktop for gimp, IDEs, GIS, etc.

At risk of running against the obvious tide here, if you take the word "skilled" literally then of course everyone becomes skilled in whatever job they do. However, here "skilled" is used not literally, but in the sense of the industry term that means the job generally requires formal training and/or qualification before employment.

Edit: Not to say I don't think it's not a demeaning term (possibly intentionally so). It's a sucky word but let's not allow ourselves to become overly indignant by misconstrueing the sense of the term used.

That sounds much like the "just asking questions" excuse. As a writer you should know the power of words and how the nuances of their meaning affect the message. Dismissing the meaning of your words with the excuse of just "throwing words around" is dangerous and frankly shameful for any writer who isn't a hack.

Edit: maybe I got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning. You're good, but that did not resonate well with me.

It seems likely, even highly likely, but not "definitely". Making absolute claims without supporting evidence is the sort of thing that antivaxers do.

Creating a new sub so I'm a moderator brought Boost back to life. Maybe that will help here?

It's not like it needed further proof. It's clearly happening. The latest starlink sats are better, and we need to continue to minimise it where we can, but the problem is not going away. Not much point in complaining really. For a lot of the science it's not a huge problem since it can be removed from the data, but it's terrible for astro-photography.

FYI, you are able to edit titles on the fediverse in case you want to the missing word.
