What does E2E sync mean here? They already know what you wrote because you submitted it to them, similar to a Google search.
Oh, so it's still a cloud thing. Quaint. :-) I wasn't sure, since people are complaining that it makes their phones hot, and it's only a matter of time before this stuff runs locally. I guess that answers my question, though.
Can someone chime in if local runtimes are likely to come soon? Can 10B params or so contain all the compressed contents of the internet?

I love my iPhone but god damn does apple suck at a number of things. It’s 2023, and they have a terabyte of storage but they won’t store more than 100 numbers in your call history. Like what.
My favourite is that giving in and clicking the “open in app” banners on Reddit etc just take me to the App Store page for Reddit, even though I have the actual app installed already.
Apollo just auto-redirects to the app for me. Maybe it’s an issue with the official Reddit app or a config value somewhere?

#304Sadly, more and more, releases these days means U.S. only. Here in Germany, App store tells me, not available in your region or country.
That been said, Bing-App is pretty good so far, waiting to look at openAI one. Far too many fake ones masquerading as chatGPT apps and it is really painful to see my friends paying for some of these fake ones to remove adverts and trying to figure out how to make it do things.

#305I'd be worried downloading it because there's so many fake spyware ChatGPT apps in the store. But I have Android anyway.. Hopefully that will come too!
What does spyware mean in this context? Some phishing-like cover websites prompting users to input their credentials of openai? Apart from that, I thought Apple handled permission handling well?

#306What does this add over opening chat.openai.com in Safari? It seems like I could perhaps browse conversation history offline (but I can't tell for sure), and voice dictation. I've just used it in Safari with no problems, so I want to know if any compelling reasons exist to use the app. I'd guess it includes additional tracking enabled by an app and other undesirable aspects of an app.
I had chat.openai.com saved to my homepage so here's my finding so far: - snappier - search through conversation history via title search - whisper built in for record -> transcribe workflow (does not work "live" unfortunately) - easier to scroll through history and delete history - long press prompt or response to copy/select text or perform voting/regeneration actions - better text resizing support (via the control…
> whisper built in for record -> transcribe workflow
How is this any better that Apple's built in dictation?
> easier to ... delete history
This is actually the one advantage I see to this app. Deleting history on the desktop is a pain and requires far too many clicks. I can delete history more quickly with the iOS app.

DNS records take a minute or two to update
DNS records take a minute to update and take 24-48 hours to propogate to all nodes globally due to caching. [0] https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx...
> ISPs have different cache refreshing intervals
They're omitting the detail that ISPs are violating the spec.
If you set your DNS TTL to 3600 seconds, a caching resolver should store both that and when they received the response. Then, when another client requests the same name in 30 seconds, it should pull the result out of the cache and send it to the client with a TTL of 3570 seconds. This way, once 3600 second pass from the authoritative query, all the cached data is expired everywhere. If you know you're about to make a change you can lower the TTL to 300 seconds an hour before you make the change, after which the change should only take 5 minutes to propagate.
Some ISPs ignore the TTL and tell all their clients that they can cache the result for 72 hours so the clients don't make as many queries to their DNS servers. If you find your ISP doing this, stop using their DNS servers (or stop using that ISP) because it can obviously cause you problems whenever anyone changes a DNS entry and your ISP is handing out a stale one for you to cache for days. Maybe just never use your ISP's DNS servers in general.

One problem I have with their website is that it constantly signs me out. It’s why I ended up downloading an app (GeePeeTee had the best privacy policy I could find) to use their service personally.
A valid complaint, though that isn't a lack of capability in the browser, it's a big of the site. I think that happened to me a while back, but I haven't had a problem with it in weeks.
Don't get me wrong, I'm someone who prefers a browser over apps as well. I'll have to give their website a try again, maybe it's not an issue any longer.

#309"This app is not available in your country or region" Seriously? When is this idiotic corporate idea going to die? Internet has no regions. (BTW, I pay for ChatGPT plus)
The internet most definitely has 'regions' when it comes to laws and resulting potential liability.
Re: ChatGPT app for iOS
#310I was excited to try this because I want to be able to use ChatGPT hands-free in certain circumstances. The ideal would be to put it into voice assistant mode, have it listen to me and then answer after a sufficient break in speech. From what I can see, this app lags behind their web interface a bit, and I wouldn't be surprised if they had some approval trouble at Apple and will be rolling out updates more frequently…
