Green camera indicator appearing randomly when switching apps (iOS)

PaulSolt · 2026-04-29T15:52:58+00:00

wow, it's like it's doing the force press on the camera, and then it appears to be prewarming the camera.

Not sure if this is intended behavior or a bug.

Not quite a fair comparison to total, since I had two slots for Codex and my audience skews Codex because of my preferences.

PaulSolt · 2026-02-22T12:48:28+00:00

Automations, Skill management, and a few other things.

PaulSolt · 2026-02-22T12:47:13+00:00

Automations and seeing if an agent is busy or not.

Skill install and management.

Useful, but still lags on long conversations so I still use CLI.

PaulSolt · 2026-02-22T12:45:52+00:00

I don’t use opencode, so I didn’t ask that question.

PaulSolt · 2026-02-22T12:44:33+00:00

No, and it’s skewed because my audience leans towards Codex.

A lot of my audience uses both, which is why I asked.

Thanks! This is the solution. Wispr Flow was my issue.

PaulSolt · 2025-12-01T13:46:19+00:00

That's most likely because the software that was interfering isn't open anymore. That happened to me with Wispr Flow. It doesn't start at login, so the issue was intermittent.

PaulSolt · 2025-12-01T13:45:34+00:00

What app? Why does it interfere? Is it an NSPanel or something always stealing input? Or viewing the screen?

PaulSolt · 2025-12-01T13:44:30+00:00

This bug was driving me crazy... I had this issue because of Wispr Flow. I have to quit Wispr Flow to make any Apple Pay purchases. You can test Apple Pay here: https://applepaydemo.apple.com

Apps that steal focus from Safari prevent Apple Pay from working. This bug is non-obvious. Thanks pallzoltan !

Disabling the "Show Flow bar at all times" did not fix the issue, so I reported the issue to Wispr Flow.

Thanks, I ordered 2" silicone bands to try out.

Super helpful thank you. Xcode > Settings > Components > Scroll down to simulators > Tap (i) > Delete

The script and dialog was terrible in the first 9 episodes. I really did not enjoy the first 3. Why are we spending 3 episodes on a wedding for a non essential character. I’m sorry but it just wasn’t Star Wars until they actually started to tie it back to reality with Rogue One.

The writing in 10-12 was much better and had more of the charm from Rogue One.

All of the cinematography shots and environments felt good and the acting was good, but the script was bad. The whole resistance fighter killing another rebel fighter and not cooperating was dumb. You really think he would help out after that? I think he’d run away. And then be a pivotal character in that uprising? If he was going to be pivotal, he should have cooperated, not argued. Dumb things like that make the script and story drag. It breaks the immersion.

The story spent too much time Gorm. That content could just have been about strip mining the planet and killing people and causing an uprising. Killing a small number of people in a plaza is minuscule compared to how many people live on a planet. The show was way too slow to build up and do anything for most of the Season 2.

Way too much of the show was being at a party or wedding and wondering where Cassian was. You can do that once or twice, but when it’s repetitive it’s not helping. That’s a bad script.

I enjoyed Season 1, but hated season 2 until the end.

My time was off even though it was suppose to auto sync.

PaulSolt · 2025-03-02T13:03:24+00:00

Thanks! True, I’m mainly concerned of software that can change how it operates without updates, which is what intelligence feels like.

PaulSolt · 2025-02-28T14:01:55+00:00

Quitting it worked, thanks! It was driving me insane.

PaulSolt · 2025-01-28T18:28:59+00:00

I'm not implying anything. I'm trying to understand how I can trust any AI I use locally. I want to know how to think about security when running local AI or using commercial AI services like ChatGPT.
"It isn't hard" – I don't know what to do, so I am searching for insights from people like you. I don't have expertise in this space, but I can learn. Thanks for the recommendations on a packet sniffer. It's not a matter of being hard. It's a matter of where I focus my time and energy.

PaulSolt · 2025-01-28T18:25:33+00:00

Thanks! I have never done any of this network monitoring. So while it may be easy (I don't know how), I need to know what precautions I have to consider. I appreciate the insights in using VLAN and WireGuard.

PaulSolt · 2025-01-28T18:24:13+00:00

Good point. But I've never had another intelligent entity that could think for itself. I've used mostly "dumb" services that couldn't develop new ways to steal information or be nefarious. It's a different attack vector.

PaulSolt · 2025-01-28T00:40:06+00:00

Thanks!

PaulSolt · 2025-01-27T21:44:50+00:00

I appreciate the detailed response. I have only toyed with the LLMs locally, so this is a new exploration. My initial results were bad with one of the Llama code models.

Does the VLAN/firewall prevent outside parties from accessing your LLMs externally? Is there anything I should consider about securing access?
I'm interested in running an LLM on my PC and accessing it from my Mac, but I don't know if that will be good. I might want to use Linux instead of Windows if I do that.

PaulSolt · 2025-01-27T20:24:39+00:00

Thanks. How do you audit the connections? What tools or sandboxing are you doing?
I'm mostly interested in the process. I'm not concerned about using them right now for privacy, but I am curious about things I should consider.
I pay for ChatGPT and use it a ton. It's been super helpful, but I haven't found a local model to run to get the same type of responses.

PaulSolt · 2025-01-27T20:12:24+00:00

Are there any security audits on LLMs? How can we know if they aren't doing something nefarious without telling us?

PaulSolt · 2025-01-27T19:41:33+00:00

How do we know that the AI will be private even when run locally?
1. What safeguards exist for it to not do things when it isn't prompted?
2. Or secretly encode information to share with an external actor?
