Its called Gemini. Google's own mega-multimodal model.
Google merged google brain and deepmind to start developing Gemini. All the talent left at Google to go all in on this.

The other AI products at google were just polishing up their old stuff to hastily release. Gemini is their real attempt at catching up to GPT-4.
Can you provide the exact prompt?
Kind of playing devils advocate here, but would you not expect your probabilistic hatespeech detector to score "common hatespeech" higher?

If 90% of your hatespeech focusses on disabled promiscuous jewish homosexuals, would it not be expected for the hatespeech detector to "perk up" when talking about them? Because the conditional probability that ANY paragraph about jewish homosexuals is hatespeech IS, in fact, increased?

IF you wanted your detector to be unbiased, you would have to train it on fictional, unbiased hatespeech (or remove that bias otherwise)-- decreasing its real world performance!

edit: That viewpoint would predict that the hatespeech detector "favors" groups that are actually frequently hated on, NOT groups that "californian progressives" deem worthy of protection. That seems plausible to me; atheists, for example, are NOT favored even though they should be much more "californican" than catholics or mormons.
The new nodes also typically go towards iPhones and tablets as well, and in total that's only hundreds of millions of people benefitting from improved devices, so yeah pretty much nobody.

Thanks. I guess since no gambling technically takes place, there's no reason to exclude minors.
Yeah, Phind has replaced Google for half of my searches. My only small complaint is reliability — occasionally I get “inference service not available” (paraphrased) and have to regenerate once or more.
I feel like you are talking about gacha games and didn't say so, would make more sense than children physically going to casinos.
> AI hype guys on Twitter work pro bono. Nobody pays them they just shill whatever the latest thing is.

I thought this was the case, until I saw how identical all of the messages were, including the order of the bullet points. It was clearly some form of paid marketing - or fake accounts, except they all had blue ticks (not that that means much these days).
351483773 was also fairly popular for reasons I wont disclose here...
I’ve never even tried it, so no. Docs are usually sufficient, and reworking prompts just doesn’t look that enjoyable to me.
> My experience is that when managers stop doing their jobs, people start working on whatever is the most fun

If people aren't doing their jobs they should be fired - not have someone babysit them and the whole team so everyone just suffers.

All that ends up happening is introduce things like broken scrum and push to show cards getting down rather than real value.

Congrats. You've gone from 1 extreme to the other. No difference.

>It didn't work, but it still generated it.

So neither could generate the plugin, it's just that one of them lied about it.
> Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s a great engineer and a great businessman

What proof is there that Elon is a great engineer? What has he invented or developed? As to whether he's also a great businessman the jury is still out on that one. He's a great salesman and a marketing genius, I'll give you that.
> What we need is a sudden and massive increase in memory on these chips to make having LLMs viable on everyday affordable devices. I do wander if that may be something Apple surprise us with.

Honestly, I just wish that they'd refresh the Mac Studio. I know that probably won't happen in any processor generation which they plan to roll out the Mac Pro, though.
> You can build a mechanical, digital computer from many systems like pneumatics for example.

This is mentioned in the video (kinda), in that the video talks about Stibitz’ Model K, an electromechanical digital adder using relays, followed by various systems culminating in the programmable general-purpose Model V.

As the video then explains, ignoring nuisance (noise and vibrations) the problems of mechanical computers are signal propagation, and wear / reliability, they’re awful even compared to vacuum tubes.
> very much like religion to hold humans on a magical pedestal where the rules that apply to animals suddenly cease when applied to humans

Well .. yes? Isn't it a major premise of most religions that humans are different, and are in some way connected with the divine, and in particular have consciousness that obliges us to use our thoughts rather than our instincts? That we might probe the universe for its physical rules, and attempt to determine moral rules for ourselves? Or that the rule that applies to animals, that you can kill and eat them if you like, does not apply to humans?

Short Circuit adds ChatGPT to Siri, really shows what Siri could be. https://shortcircuit.chat/
Besides ChatGPT, I'm getting enough added value from CoPilot and Grammarly to make them worth paying for.

https://www.perplexity.ai/ is favourite "search" tool (ironically beating GPT enhanced Bing) for outright speed and quality of results.
The purpose of the law is clear though: it recognizes the need of platforms to moderate problematic content and thus provides immunity when platforms moderate such content - effectively, it's an incentive for platforms to provide moderation.

Even the US has legal mandates to take down certain contents in any case - CSAM, IP violations (DMCA) and terrorist content come to my mind.
> If you work from the office, you mostly have to: 1. walk around the office and ask someone. Interrupt whatever they're doing to ask anything you want anytime.

In the office one person at a time can DOS attack my attention and everyone else can see I'm busy helping them. Slack is far worse, multiple coworkers are DDOS attacking me and 10 more unread messages pop up before I finish helping the first guy.
Everyone, please let me have "Bad Siri" for the name of my next band.

How improved though? iPhones are already pretty fast. I don't know about you, but i've never compiled a kernel on my phone. Having a faster, actual workstation grade computer would be better. But yeah you're right, sarcasm is the right approach.

This looks really promising. Looking forward to them to support all the top 5 spoken languages.
Cynical take, but to me the only preference the WFH people are putting on the in officers is the WFH's preference not to be made the source of socialization and entertainment for the in officers.
I was planning to purchase a Macbook, but now I think it's better to wait for M3. I am impressed with the M3 specifications. It would be ideal if I could run LLM models on my computer locally.
I wouldn't call something a toy that has shown the most impressive growth rate for a commercial product since the invention of the internet.
If you care about the combination of portability, battery life, performance, and display+audio quality, then Apple’s laptops have been price competitive for quite a while now. People who think they are overpriced usually don’t care about at least one of these things.
He's 11 months old tomorrow. I guess I could have said "young dog" instead.

As for "pup" think of it like a term of endearment similar to sweetie, babe, honey, etc etc.
> Religions tend to become the opposite of what they preach.

I'm not a fan of such generalizations, not least of all because the term "religion" is itself commonly thoughtlessly applied and vague. Every human being has a religion according to a technical reading of the term because every human being takes something as the highest good to which all others goods are subordinate and to which he offers some kind of worship. So the question isn't whether someone is religious, but what they are religious about, and then, how good and true their religion is, whether their religion is the best, whether it is the true religion, etc. (Shocking perhaps to the adherents of the blandness that is moralistic therapeutic deism.)

> The church of Jesus became an actual state for centuries.

The Church never became a state (though I'm not sure what this is insinuating about the alleged teachings of Jesus). Those with authority in the Church have historically had both ecclesiastical authority and secular authority, yes, and this continues to this day (the pope is the prime example as he is both the supreme pontiff and monarch of the Holy See, and historically, has been the monarch of, e.g., the Papal States). But so what? There is nothing in the teachings of Jesus that contradicts the notion of secular authority or that those in the Church might also have such authority. Indeed, it is in the teachings of Christ that we find the very distinction between and recognition of religious and secular authority and institutions in the first place (e.g., Matthew 22:21). The liberal notion of the separation of Church and State is just an exaggeration of this distinction (which is why liberalism is, quite literally, a Christian heresy). You cannot make sense of this distinction outside of the broader Christian tradition. This is probably one reason why American attempts to spread the Gospel of Liberal Democracy have generally been hamfisted failures in other civilizational contexts. In any case, the state is a natural institution according to the natural law and a necessary institution.

Here's an interesting explanation of the significance of the Holy Roman Empire that you and others might find interesting[0].

Agreed. I've worked remotely and in-person. Both are nice once you develop the right processes.

But having half the team in one office and the other half remote seemed to be the worst of both. When I was remote I felt relief when everyone else in the discussion turned out to be remote as well, and when I was in-person it was similarly nice when we realized that everyone in the meeting was physically present.

So it's not surprising to me that companies would gravitate one way or the other.
Laptops? Phones and tablets.
> There is some overlap between the two uses of this term, but it isn't that big.

Yes, conflating separate things, also labelled false dichotomies, using strawmen, etc. I used to despair at our seemingly endless talent for using such techniques (and I'm not saying I'm not guilty) - now it seems there glimmer of hope: just run our arguments by a (well aligned) LLM, and get some pointers before posting. Could be a thing soon, and it would not be unwelcome ...

Hrm. Well, I guess I "touch grass" too often to have run across that one before.
if China invaded Taiwan, probably we'd have 100x more problems and demand for apple hardware would dwindle

prob not his worse case scenario :)
Local LLMs do best on big GPUs, which aren’t an option on Macs.

What Apple has done with the M-series silicon is really impressive, but it’s not as fast as big, dedicated GPU silicon.

> like if the most cost-effective work boot of 2025 is produced by Gucci.

Apple M-silicon laptops are high quality, but they’re not the same as overpriced luxury goods. The price of entry level M1/M2 Macs is extremely reasonable, IMO.
It's not surprising, humans have a thin veneer of rationality but are emotional creatures at their core.

The last 3 years events proved it beyond any doubt.
It is a little funny... but the combination of pretty good integrated graphics and (potentially) large amounts of on package ram mean that macs are actually a pretty inexpensive way to get access to a GPU with lots of graphics memory.
Many countries go so far the other way that the government taxes the people and gives the money to the church.
Did A.P. ever followup? It's hard to believe they just let it slide.
I'm not religious as an adult but I was raised so. I attended Catholic school and went to church twice a week during the school year. In addition, I attended several churches in the region for different events over the years growing up. Never once did the church become political while I was there and I had substantial time there. In addition, it was a major denomination. I can assure you just because someone goes to church does not mean they belong to one political party either.
(apparently) Unpopular opinion: It's pretty cool that there are so many "look what I made" responses here. This feels like what happens in a renaissance; there aren't the tools so people are making their own. It might also be demonstrating that the tools are helping to speed innovation, allowing people to "punch above their weight".
> A metaverse concert as good as attending a real concert in person, but also your friend who lives 500 miles away is right there next to you. Business meetings as good as meeting in person, but with infinitely luxurious surroundings and no travel time. Office buildings where everyone gets a private office and a dozen huge monitors. And so on.

I personally would be more engaged if they looked a bit further.

For example, this may not be the best idea, but making spaces more accessible to those who have difficulties navigating them could be helpful? That at least is something that doesn't exist, I mean I can go to a real concert to visit a friend hundreds of miles away, but when I was younger I had vertigo. I'm still a bit uncomfortable with heights, going into VR and seeing views from a height with little prep knowing that I'm both safe, but get to experience it on some level was quite liberating.

There are people with much more significant challenges, some of whom I assume would like to be able to have another way to engage with people and spaces that they currently feel are impossible to navigate.
'We Built a Robot That Types': The Man Behind Computerized Stock Trading (2015)
It's similar to Buzzfeed (News) really.

Vice always did clickbait / lifestyle, but they also invested heavily in real hard hitting stories that other outlets ignored. Of course they also continued the clickbait / lifestyle stuff alongside it.

For a while the Real Reporting was surfacing frequently, but not so much these days, even though they're still doing it. For whatever reason, people just don't seem to see / care / value that Real Reporting as much (I have my theories...), and these outlets are struggling.
we can learn to be though.
It could be if the money goes towards helping to build food production systems as opposed to buying food. I wonder if charities do this? Buying food just kicks the can down the road for sure.
The NY/DC duopoly on media is largely because they have the footprint to be everywhere and write with depth and accuracy. Read the NYT and Axios and you'll have all you need on politics and world news. The ascent of independent media (the substack/podcast crowd) has started to take a huge bite out of the opinion/analysis market. The damage is coming in the middle. All the local newspapers and evening news shows are approaching irrelevance and it's going to be a disaster.
I wish gaming on Mac became more popular due to the same reason.
>Oh yes you are 4 times better than everyone else but treated just the same.

I never said that. It's clear you're not arguing in good faith so this will be my last reply. Not to mention that completely misses the point.

Even if you have to work 1.5x more than everyone else to get promoted, only to get a 10% salary increase, that's already a bad bargain.

>The person who wrote the article is making the ‘bad faith’ argument passing on cynical stupid delusions.

Sorry but that's not an argument. You're saying it's wrong without saying why. If I were to guess you identified as a Clueless and you're angry at it. It's okay. It's normal.

>This idea that most orgs promote willy nilly is ridiculously wrong. It’s a contradiction of reality.

Yes, most orgs promote the people that double down on bad bargains. Of course, as with anything, there are exceptions.

As an example, it's extremely common to promote people that do unpaid overtime. It doesn't matter the quality of that work or that it's clearly exploitative. What matters is that it signals to the company that you can take advantage of that person. They demonstrate willingness to take on more work, responsibilities and/or bad conditions for a small increase in pay (sometimes just a bit more power). That's the most profitable bargain the company can get so it absolutely makes logical sense.

Maybe you've experienced exceptional companies where only the people that deserve get promoted and they do so without having to get exploited for it. But that's not always the case and I've seen that multiple times in my career.
Apple was cost-effective most of the time if you wanted high-quality tools.
Makes me sad. I love their content.
This was fascinating to scroll around. I knew NYC was noisy, but it was interesting to see the massive patches of color. Even the few other cities I looked at were less colorful & had the highest-decibel color only around airports; NYC was loud almost everywhere, with some of the highest-decibel color even away from airports (Hasbrouck Heights).
Since this thread mostly only seems to get into why state machines are great, I wanted to see what else there is on the other side. You rarely see state machines in application development (backend or frontend). And if I saw it there I'd think someone was making overcomplicating things.

https://workflowengine.io/blog/why-developers-never-use-stat...

On the other hand, programming in state machines makes more sense when you're dealing with network protocols like TCP or distributed systems like Raft (both the implementation of Raft and the clients of Raft are modelled as state machines).

It's hard for me to explain why state machines feel like overkill/overengineering in application development but feel natural in network and distributed systems programming.
From my experiences with Google integrated AI, I'm skeptical that Google can win any battle with it.

ChatGPT and other modern AI tools are useful specifically because they do what I want when I want to do it. Compare this to Gmail's smart compose: by the time the AI makes a suggestion I'm already half-way through typing that text, so its prediction is completely useless even if it's correct.

(Also, I really enjoy the random historical rambling at the end of some Stratechery articles).
Most American voters are moderates. Party primaries and gerrymandering produce politicians that reflect the most active elements of the party base, rather than the majority of party voters.

Yes, you can still find moderate politicians if you look hard enough. They tend not to get the level of media attention of the extremists, but as they're inherently in "purple" districts, they tend not to have the political longevity of politicians in deep red or deep blue districts. More's the pity.
Goog = $110B
MS = $100B
Amazon = $64B
Meta = $37B

So no, Apple is not the big tech with the most cash. They do have a much higher market cap than the others but it's simply based on their brand image and speculation.
> Things that a team could discuss and resolve over a coffee break now need to be pushed through tedious official communications

Maybe that's a good thing? If the team can solve it informally why can't it be done over other mediums? Most of the time this happens because there's a lack of documentation or other issue.

WFH is a symptom. Fix the real problems.
I'd have a bit more (still not much) sympathy for them if they hadn't said they're actively targeting inexperienced investors. That's just inevitably going to fuck someone over. And yeah, a notice like that is about as valid as a warranty-void-if-removed sticker.

I took a look at their site, and it seems like they're pushing NFTs as well, and although their site doesn't seem to mention blockchain, their investor pitch deck does seem to. So many red flags.

It's times like these I think that maybe software engineers should need to be professionally licensed.
Exactly. TSMC can spend tens of billions of dollars on new processes because they know Apple will be there day 1 to use it all.

The iPhone and Mac have good performance and power efficiency, but people will always want their phone and laptop to do more and get longer battery life. Apple customers’ appetite for compute is practically bottomless.
There's a double standard here, though.

Tax-exempt charities are prohibited from using tax-exempt funds to engage in certain kinds of political speech. Those that do electioneer or conduct lobbying, for example, have separate non-tax-exempt branches that handle it, with their own funds and strict financial firewalls separating them from the rest of the organization.

Churches, on the other hand, get to flout those rules all the time. And I do mean churches; other religions don't tend to enjoy quite the same latitude.

And that selective enforcement by the government is a separation of church and state issue.
Apple is giving some pretty funding guarantees TSMC. The rest of the industry will certainly benefit.
Yeah, definitely more of these (which is even more of a waste), I was more just thinking about myself :)
This doesn't track. What's considered "constitutional" in the US varies as the wind blows. Such a law would not survive today, but in 50 years' time, who can say?
To be more than a toy it needs to be profitable and have a moat.

OpenAI just implemented something (well) that was developed in other places.

LLMs are indeed very cool and maybe even revolutionary, but their main accomplishment was beating big tech to the punch.
I don't think those criticism are valid. Apple has insane order numbers, competitors do not. It's only natural they prioritize who gives them more business.
Pakistani, here.

What happened to Imran Khan is similar to what happened to and continues to happen to world leaders in unstable countries where the west financial and/or national security interests - sloppy regime changes.

As far as whether or not this turns out for the people of PK, we will never know bc he was nto in office long enough to do anything meaningful. PK needs like 20 yrs of stability to see any real progress.

I will say this - Imran Khan was very popular among the young, middle class types I know in PK (bc he is a populist), but not liked by western establishment governments. Take that for what it is worth.
Read the last sentence of your comment, then read your comment. (Edit: they edited out the last sentence, a line about not judging and reading carefully)

Then read OPs comment. compare the general, nonuniversal statement they made about political advocacy vis a vis tax status laws in the United States, to the judgements you envisioned of religious people and yourself and your religion.
> A well informed human being gets their information from many sources

They're actively targeting uninformed, inexperienced investors though.

Incitement is a felony in multiple countries. Just because you did not write it but used an AI to write it, it doesn't mean you get a free pass. You spread it online, or made it possible to do so.
