minorities are the loudest.

truth is its quite difficult to function today without a smartphone.

banks, uber, food etc etc

edit: remember iphone mini? so "many" asked for it and apple finally made it. it was a flop.

I think the iPhone mini sold 5-10 million units per year. I don't view that as a flop, and I don't think it merits sarcasm around how "many" people wanted it.

People often use this a argument against small phones like this wouldn't be amazing for any company outside apple or Samsung

If small phones were a widely popular thing then there would be a company making them successfully or it would’ve been greater than 5% of iPhone sales. An individual company with zero brand power or presence wouldn’t have any decent sales. This is not even considering that the value proposition would be way worse than just buying a slightly bigger and significantly better phone with more R&D put behind it.

The reality is 90% or more of people don’t care about that or even think about it, this sentiment only exists in online tech enthusiast spaces. If you’re in HN you’re as non-representative of the average consumer as one can get.

5% of iPhone sales is an enormous amount of revenue. Billions right?

Bring back OS licensing, Apple!

I think you should always include the iPhone SE in those numbers. It had similar dimensions, was cheaper and even more minimal. If it weren't for the SE, I would have picked a Mini right away.

Banks for what?

Uber can be done totally headless, without a screen?

Food? Get outta here.

from my limited tests, it can work with up to 10 tools/definitions.

over that and it gets confused

Hi, thanks for the feedback! And yes absolutely less tools and better tool descriptions make a huge difference for this model.

this reminds me of laravel boost, which does something similar.

it can generate classes/models/routers etc via tool calls, doesnt write the actual code.

Seems like what Chrome has with the default built-in Gemini Nano model.

Hey at least "some" news/things from Mistral. Seems like ages ago when they launched vibe-code.

> Powers context-aware search, page summaries, and memory retrieval across browser tabs.

> Live in France and North America, with launches in the UK and Germany planned for later this year.

> Built on a zero data retention policy; conversations are not saved on Mozilla’s servers by default.

> Models are fine-tuned on regional languages, dialects, and local nuances to provide native-feeling responses.

> Extends Mistral’s open-weight AI models directly to consumer web browsing alongside its enterprise offerings.

I don't think it is comparable. Nowhere in the news they say it is offline but IMO Gemini Nano is offline (?)

I'm not a Google fan but I never understood the outrage as it is a local model ... sure, you have to trust them, but if you use their browser you already do.

The outrage about Gemini Nano in Chrome was the surprise extra 4GB download plus their attempt to expose it as a non-standard browser API, IIRC.

> Nowhere in the news they say it is offline

Reading HN, I 100% understood “private” to be marketing copy for “local inference”.

How else could the information be kept private?

I begrudgingly suppose that there is precedent for the usage, like Apple’s Private Relay, but I really don’t think they are comparable.

> conversations aren’t saved on Mozilla’s servers by default, and partners like Mistral agree to zero data retention.

I don't read this as offline ...

People only read the headline, and the headline lies.

> Reading HN, I 100% understood “private” to be marketing copy for “local inference”.

Pretty ironic then that here, Mozilla is specifically labeling their "we send it all to the cloud" service as "private."

So does duckduckgo with their duck.ai. No outrage there.

I mean encryption is a real thing (Edward Snowden sometimes would simply say "Encryption works" in online Q and As) and there are ways to do zero knowledge data crunching Eleven while interacting with servers. Kim DotCom famously launched Mega as a zero knowledge file host after his legal issues with with megaupload, and lots of apps and services across the internet have been doing the version of this even with online services in the ensuing decade and a half. For instance I use StandardNotes which is online but encrypted.

I have no idea the extent to which any of that speaks to the Mozilla thing in this context, and local is preferable if that's achievable. And of course you should always do due diligence on what exactly is and isn't being promised when it comes to sending your data to the cloud, it certainly is possible to do that in privacy preserving ways. It's not a doubt about the technology so much as a question of institutional credibility.

New apple watch markets their new listening feature as private, but they are not happening on device.

>like Apple’s Private Relay

Reading this as “Private Cloud Compute“ (PCC)

(Not iCloud Private Relay, the VPN)

Private here means "trust me, bro".

wtf the guy payed what 40billion for this website?

yes, he can enforce whatever ToS he wants .

i tried visiting kagi now, and there is no way to search if you dont signup first?

also this page doesnt have a submit button and pressing enter doesnt submit the form either:

i can not believe you really use Haiku?

To ask for web search, simple commands and research, or passing logs to analyze it's more than enough

Here is the script https://github.com/mariocesar/dotfiles/blob/main/common/.loc...

this is a really neat idea. thanks for sharing!

i like Luna but only until 130k context, over that it becomes dumb.

why can't it do that? just run a VPS inside WSL or another container inside your PC. give the agent that sandbox.
