Reminds me of project CHIP: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHIP_(computer)

Hooefully, with better economics.

I bet they forgot to rig the webcams, microphones, seat weight sensors, and infrared desk presence trackers.

Is this like people offering to pay artists with ‘exposure?’

  • Just order Flaming B-52s all night long. You can’t go wrong.
  • Order rounds, then point at someone at the far corner and say: "It’s on my friend, Bob, over there."
  • Remember: hangover treatments are covered by the NHS.

They’re propping each other up.

They could make Siri change its voice and Genmoji based on the degree of certainty of the response:

  • Trust me: Arnold as Terminator 😎
  • Eehhhh, could be bullshit: shrugging old man meme 🤷🏻‍♂️
  • Just kiddin’ here: whacky Jerry Lewis 🤪

They could sell different voice packages. Revive the ringtone market.

Wait. Am I getting this right? They want to inject high-pressure steam and chemicals into a massive underground natural gas reservoir. Then set off a big fire + explosion.

Surely, nothing can go wrong.

Don’t Call It an ‘Ethnic’ Grocery Store: As Asian groceries like H Mart, Patel Brothers and 99 Ranch expand, they are reshaping American eating habits, and the American grocery market (www.nytimes.com)

Last year, Americans bought half a billion packets of Shin Ramyun, the spicy, beefy Korean instant noodle. The bold red-and-black packaging feels inescapable: It’s a staple of college dorm rooms, bodegas, middle-of-the-country Walmarts and viral TikTok videos....

During COVID lockdown, my work did remote ‘cook together’ team-building classes, led by a cook on Zoom. They would send out list of ingredients to buy ahead of time. Only a few managed to get ALL the ingredients, no matter how obscure.

They were all people who had a 99 Ranch near them. It turned into a running gag.

Somebody starts streaming VR porn on the same cell network. Latency drops to a second. Patient flatlines.

The future is here.

That was amazing! Watched the video with my Trackmania-crazy kid. I’ve played it a few times but I’m total crap at it. We couldn’t peel our eyes off the action. The first external shot of the track shows how insanely difficult it was going to be.

In our neck of the woods, membership in the Automobile Association comes with free maps. You have to go into their offices and request them, and they’re very helpful about which maps may come handy.

I usually get them before a long roadtrip into areas where they may be weak cell service. To be safe, I also download digital maps, but a paper map gives better broad context on where we are and what is nearby.

Problem is, we’re terrible at getting rid of them after the trips…

My needle on my BS-meter just snapped off.

This is as useful as polling relatives on whether a couple should go through with a divorce.

Given the amount of money they’re looking for, guessing it’s for the unreleased products in the pipeline and their patents. Anyone who buys them is not purchasing their v1 product.

Wisconsin attorney general files felony charges against attorneys, aide who worked for Trump in 2020 (apnews.com)

Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul filed felony forgery charges Tuesday against two attorneys and an aide who helped submit paperwork falsely saying that former President Donald Trump had won the battleground state in 2020....

When mathematicians switch to psychology.

fubarx ,

You still need a massive fleet of these to train those multi-billion parameter models.

On the invocation side, if you have a cloud SaaS service like ChatGPT, hosted Anthropic, or AWS Bedrock, these could answer questions quickly. But they cost a lot to operate at scale. I have a feeling the bean-counters are going to slow down the crazy overspending.

We’re heading into a world where edge computing is more cost and energy efficient to operate. It’s also more privacy-friendly. I’m more enthused about a running these models on our phones and in-home devices. There, the race will be for TOPS vs power savings.

I remember Samsung trying to run a WWDC-like conference in San Francisco many years ago. They were offering free Tizen watches as enticement for developers to show up (AppleWatch devs had to buy their own). None of the professional mobile devs I knew back then said they would go.

As Microsoft found out with WindowsPhone, it’s really hard to get traction if you’re third.

If my grade school art teacher was correct, they could take some red cranberry juice and add some yellow lemon juice to get the same result.

That is actually kind of brilliant. Having to go through MFi and getting the Apple DRM chip into the manufacturing pipeline can be a real pain (and expensive).

With this scheme, they could also run all the wired on/off and volume control actions through Bluetooth AVRCP. Even have a Mic on the wire, so if a call comes in, switch to HFP to talk/manage the call.

Damn, that’s clever. Hats off to whoever came up with it.

Incidentally, there’s very little Apple can do to make this stop, unless they decide to break Bluetooth and third-party accessories.

“It also includes optimized support for Raspberry Pi SBCs to deliver enhanced performance and compatibility.”

This is so strange.

There’s an AWS service called CodeArtifact (aws.amazon.com/codeartifact/) that’s literally designed to cache binary distributions so you don’t have to keep hitting origin repos.

For starting basic structure, have had good luck with Plottr. If there’s a complex timeline, Aeon Timeline is pretty handy. And once ready to write, Scrivener.

I haven’t but my kid playing Osu! Lives and breathes the game. Used birthday gift money to buy a special three-button keyboard. Walks around all the time, tapping fingers on every surface.

Have you looked into the suid bit? You can set it on the file, then change the script owner to root and it runs in elevated mode: linuxhandbook.com/suid-sgid-sticky-bit/

There are browser userscripts out there now that do this automatically.

So many old and new ones. But if I had to pick one: American Pie by Don McLean.

Not to worry. Someone will build a utility that flashes a spreadsheet image for a millisecond every time the system tries to take a snapshot.

Enterprises IT policy may have a say in that.

It’s Elmer’s Glue. Kindergartners have been chugging it for years. What’s the problem?

It’s cool tech that is ahead of its time. 5-10 years from now, a big tech company will make something like this and everyone will cry Huzzah!

Magic Leap went the same route.

Edit:

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Leap

Judging by the downvotes, I didn’t state my point well enough. Magic Leap took a LOT of money, got a lot of hype, and nearly went out of business multiple times.

But they were also the first ones to demonstrate and kick off overlaying data on top of real world, what we now call Augmented Reality. Their implementation was clunky and the device was expensive, but it showed people a glimpse of what was possible in a head-mounted, immersive form factor. 10 years later, Apple released the Vision Pro which used different tech, but did pretty much what ML1 was trying to do.

I think the Humane AI pin tried some interesting concepts, but is heading in the same direction. The idea of a small, wearable, AI device is interesting. Ten years from now, when you can run it all on-device and have a hands-free, GPT-8 level conversation with it with no cloud connection may well be a yawn.
