I have been been playing with the Apple Intelligence beta’s in iPadOS and macOS and while I like the direction Apple is heading I am getting more use from Google’s Gemini, both for general analysis of very large input contexts, as well as effective integration my content in Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Docs. While I find the latest Pixel phone to be compelling, I will stick with Apple hardware since I don’t want to take the time to move my data and general workflow to a Pixel phone. The iPhone is the strongest lock-in that Apple has on me because of the time investment to change. The main reason I am feeling less interested in the Apple ecosystem and platform is that I believe that our present day work flows are intimately wrapped up with the effective use of LLMs, and it is crazy to limit oneself to just one or two vendors. I rely on running local models on Ollama, super fast APIs from Groq (I love Groq for running most of the better open weight models), and other APIs from Mist...
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI am working on facebook apis, and would really love to have an invite for Google+ so that I may explore its capabilities for my dev work.
If you have an extra invite could you send it my way? Or maybe suggest my name if any of your friends have one extra.
cyrilgupta@gmail.com
Thanks Mark!
hi mark,
ReplyDeletegood to know.
i'd like to explore myself. can you give me an invite ?
thank you,
BR,

Mark, I've been enjoying your blog for a while, and I'm an AI student and Clojure hacker. I'm on g+ and would love to be in your "Circle" while I experiment with g+. :) joshuaeckroth "at" gmail.com
ReplyDeleteCG and humbled: if you let me know your gmail email addresses then I can invite you to a circle (specify artificial intelligence, Clojure, or Java)
ReplyDeleteJoshua: I see that you are already on g+ so I added you to my artificial intelligence circle.
Apparently, I need ot know peoples' names to add them, not just their gmail addresses.
ReplyDeleteWould you please invite me.
ReplyDeleteHere is my information

hi Mark,

Hi Mark,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the offer,
I'd love to have an invite.
you could add me to your artificial intelligence and ruby groups.
My handle is lexlapax at gmail dot com
Hi Mark,
ReplyDeleteDying to check this out.
If you have an invite available
please send one.
Also interested in your AI and Ruby group.
ian.garmaise at gmail dot come
Cheers,

Greetings Ian, I have already put you in my Lisp and Clojure circles - that should get you an invite sometime, hopefully soon :-)
ReplyDeleteI'll add you to the Ruby circle also.
Hi Mark,
ReplyDeleteThanks your for the offer,I would like to get an invite. Also, I would like to invite me to your Ruby circle.

Thank you
I think that I have added everyone who asked to at least one circle.
ReplyDeleteI don't have an 'invite' link on my G+ page, but my understanding is that when I post messages to circles and enable sending the posts as email to non-members of G+ then that starts the process started for getting invites to G+.
Mark, Hi. Could I get an invite to the CLOJURE circle, please. Thanks a lot

Hello German,
ReplyDeleteDone: I entered your email and name as belonging to my Clojure circle.
Hopefully this will speed up getting an invite for you.
I don't have an invite link on my G+ page, otherwise I would send you
one directly.

Hi Mark,
ReplyDeleteI've been working with clojure for a couple of years now, could you invite me to your Clojure circle, please?
I have yet to receive an invitation for Google+, but hopefully I'll get one soon.

Thanks!
Hello Ivan: I added you to my Clojure circle.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I now understand better how Circles work. When I add you to a specific circle, and select that circle, then I see public posts by you or things that you allow me to see. For non-public things that you post, I will be able to see them if you have added me into any of your circles.
I find it best to put people in just one circle, and make it the most fine-grained and relevant for them. If I, fo example, put you in 3 circles, then I see your posts repeated each time I look at the stream for each of those 3 circles.
Hi, Mark. I would appreciate that you include in the clojure Group

==> i'm coming back --> due to errors my account cannot access the google+ features, I've created a new one.
Thanks a LOT
Hello German (and everyone who needs a G+ invite):
ReplyDeleteA fraction of people I have added to my various G+ circles have got invites, but many have not. I don't know what Google's selection process is.
Please be patient, definitely put yourself on the waiting list and when you get invited to G++ you will be in my appropriate circles.

thanks, Mark
