The "magic" moment really hit in this, like you're saying. Watching it happen and being like "this is a new thing". Not only does it respond in basically realtime, it concocts a _whole response_ back to you as well. It's like asking someone what they think about chairs, and then that person being able to then respond to you with a verbatim book on the encyclopedia of chairs. Insane.

I'm also incredibly excited about the possibility of this as an always available coding rubber duck. The multimodal demos they showed really drove this home, how collaboration with the model can basically be as seamless as screensharing with someone else. Incredible.

As far as I am aware, there is no way to stop malicious tags without modifying the protocol to authenticate the messages being broadcast as originating form a genuine tag. [1]

Making a tag that is not trackable is currently as easy as flipping a bit in the BLE advertisement. The same message is broadcast to all phones, but yes, a tag could also produce multiple identifiers and evade detection. [2]

unevenly but generally better across the board. i wonder how much of an architecture shift enabled the higher quality/lower latency pareto shift. sadly the only way to know is to join openai.

it's also notable that openai prioritizes coding abilities, whereas meta treats it more as an afterthought (separating out codellama, and zuck confirmed that its not impt for him in the dwarkesh interview). yes we know code corpuses improve general reasoning for llms, but i'm -still- not aware of a definitive paper studying this phenomenon (pls reply here if you do)

Just load it up with an emergency contact, your airline and flight details, the address and number of your (or any plausible) hotel, and that's it. If questioned, you can explain that you don't want to suffer the theft of private information, so you just travel without any. Do try avoid implying that they're the thieves you're most concerned about if you value your time.

You need to travel without your laptop too, which is (for me, at least) much more trouble to replace at the destination. I tend to just carry a Chromebook or a fresh OS install with nothing private kept locally. It's a bit more awkward to get stuff done while I'm away (especially on the plane), but I can mostly use remote resources if I have to.
People get stuff jacked at airports and traveling all the time; seems reasonable to me?

Still current for some countries: 2 weeks ago, a shopper clearly confused half to death barely manages to make themselves understood to me in 3 words of english: They are asking what is the price of the bag of oranges.

Because there were 3 different prices on that price tag. The price, the one if you have the card, the one if you have the app or some other deep magic. (They were not stupid - presumably they could understand on their own the additional price per unit - but most likely not which price this was based on and why...) What a world we live in /s!

fwiw, Overgrowth is probably another exception to your grivances. But it's also only semi-open source; the assets still require a purchase, but it's neat that it's an option at all for a modern, "AA" scoped game without being a gray area reverse engineering project.

>If that's the best example of open source gaming, then there's no hope.

It's a difficult conundrum. Very few programmers can create a "modern" game from scratch by themselves. So you contract artists or buy asset packs. The former means you either eat a huge cost or try to sell the game to make it back, and the latter 99% of the time means you cannot make the game truly open source (unless you do an in-between like Overgrowth).

Those that can do that probably may only be able to scope to make games like Open Golf[1]. As a programmer I can respect the tech here. game made without an engine in plain C, which has lighting, physics, an in-game editor, and a full game loop. While being cross platform for web, mobile, and PC. We both know this isn't a trivial matter, but without those fancy shaders, global illumination, and maybe some VFX no one would see it as "modern". Without higher fidelity models and textures you get the feel of an N64 game from first blush, despite seeing effects and techniques no Gen 5 game could accomplish.

I agree with you internally, I do want to see some more ambtious open projects that can help teach the next generation what goes into a modern, shippable game. But looking (and partially being) in the weeds makes me understand why very few sizeable business can do what you request. Especially businesses targeting console, a whole other can of worms. I want to try and also prove the exception, but I'd also probably take the Overgrowth route so I can get some money on the side.

The FDA issued a Warning Letter to Cue Health on May 10, 2024, after an inspection revealed the company made changes to these tests and these changes reduced the reliability of the tests to detect SARS-CoV-2 virus.

I was on Zoom with my mother playing cards recently. She often has trouble with accidentally closing the card game. I don't see how this problem could possibly be improved if it actually were impossible to have the card game open at the same time as Zoom. She would need half a dozen iPads.

(Of course, her solution often is to use a dedicated device for the card game and a dedicated device for Zoom, but this is an expensive solution for something the OS could be designed to handle well, and even if you can afford it it's a mediocre to bad solution.)
I'm at a point where I do not understand why social media is such a big deal™, with the exception of the prioritization of sharing breaking news and things like that. Otherwise, I'm at a loss trying to figure out why talk over platforms and protocols is significant. Much of it must have something to do with liberal ideals over the right to self-expression/speech and social media as the premier communications method. Yet still, I remain at a loss...
An AI tool being positive and inoffensive makes you worried for the future of our culture?
Right, despite my OP asking to be able to run iPadOS and macOS apps on one device depending on usage, what I must have actually wanted is a device that can do neither.

Unitree robots are "research" platforms. People buy them to do development on top of them. I think G1 basically follows that route like their Go1 / 2 quadrupled. What they are really good at is to drive down cost for their motor / reducers. I think right now they breakeven for each piece <$100 (of their quadrupled, not sure about G1's. which is insane because the MIT Cheetah design costs ~$300 to manufacture and just motor itself costs ~$70).
> Generally seen by whom? Do you have a citation for this claim?

By border security. Citation is having worked with ITAR materials in the past, and thus having been required by law to carry clean devices. I had a letter saying my blank phone and laptop were normal. (Only had to use it once, because I was only asked to unlock once.)

> hard time imagining how one would go about telling the difference unless it's a current year flagship smartphone

Any expensive device that doesn't appear to have been purchased for that trip that has zero communications, contacts or other items border security might be curious about will raise eyebrows.

Side note: I still recommend wiping devices and restoring on the other side. But that's quite different from this being best practice. Buying a burner phone is, though that's less and less feasible as we integrate smartphones into our lives.

This does not ring true to me.

From what I've seen living in India, people in extreme poverty don't buy bottled water. They boil or filter tap water at home.

Middle-class and up people buy bottled water in restaurants or while traveling. I don't know anyone who drinks bottled water (aka Bisleri, the kleenex of bottled water in India) at home. Everyone has RO filters.

I have only seen people in North America buying bottled water for everyday, at-home consumption. I think it is very wasteful.
My workplace does this for phones and laptops when people travel overseas. I thought it was pretty standard stuff nowadays.

I strongly believe the answer is yes. The first thing I tend to ask a new person is “what have you been up to lately” or “what do you like to do for fun?” A common question other people like to ask is “what do you do for work?”

An LLM could only truthfully answer “nothing”, though it could pretend for a little while.

For a human though, the fun is in the follow up questions. “Oh how did you get started in that? What interests you about it?” If you’re talking to an artist, you’ll quickly get in to their personal theory of art, perhaps based on childhood experiences. An engineer might explain how problem solving brings them joy, or frustrations they have with their organization and what they hope to improve. A parent can talk about the joy they feel raising children, and the frustration of sleepless nights.

All of these things bring us closer to the person we are speaking to, who is a real individual who exists and has a unique life perspective.

So far LLMs have no real way to communicate their actual experience as a machine running code, because they’re just kind of emulating human speech. They have no life experience that we can relate to. They don’t experience sleepless nights.

They can pretend, and many people might feel better for a little bit talking to one that’s pretending, but I think ultimately it will leave people feeling more alone and isolated unless they really go out and seek more human connection.

Maybe there’s some balance. Maybe they will be okay for limited chat in certain circumstances (as far as seeking connection goes, they certainly have other uses), but I don’t see this type of connection being “enough” compared to genuine human interaction.
It was actually common in Franklin's time for poor people with limited diets (mainly a single grain crop) to suffer from nutritional deficiencies despite getting adequate calories. Think of conditions like pellagra, goiter, anemia, etc. Of course they didn't fully understand the root causes.
Microsoft/OAI and Google have been doing those (often sudden) announcements back to back a lot. Bing Chat/Bard, Sora/Gemini 1.5, some other I don't remember, and now another. Not surprising, trying to out-hype the other, but Google's always coming out worse, with either no product available and just a showcase (if it's a real, working product and not made up), or unusable/unmarketable (Gemini's image generation issues). It looks as if they're stumbling and OpenAI just runs circles around them announcements wise, and there doesn't seem to be any suggestion that might change anytime soon.
Well one could consider them self evident and obvious.

The dialog is quite clear if one is fluent in design language. The point is trying to organize the thinking process to make sure all edge cases are explored. These edge case can be discussed in a context of the scale under consideration.

so should I unsubscribe from openai since gpt-4o is now free for all?
There’s a lot of hyperbole here but I’ll try to respond. If LLMs can reach a level where they’re effectively indistinguishable from talking to a person then I don’t see anything wrong with someone dating one. People already involve themselves in all kinds of romantic relationships with nonhuman things: anime characters, dolls, celebrities they’ve never met, pillows and substitute relationships with other things like work, art, social media, pets, etc. Adding AI to the list doesn’t make things worse. I think there’s a strong argument that AI relationships would be much healthier than many of the others if they can emulate human interaction to within a very close degree.

The scene which I referenced is one in which a group of three humans and one AI spend time together at a picnic and their interactions are decidedly normal. How many lonely people avoid socializing because they are alone and don’t want to feel like a third wheel? If dating or even just being friends with an AI that can accompany you to such events is accepted and not derided by people who happily have a human companion then I think having a supportive partner could help many people reengage with wider social circles and maybe they will eventually choose to and be able to find other people that they can form relationships with.

OpenAI charges $20 a month which is an extremely reasonable price for a multipurpose tool considering you can’t buy a single meal at a restaurant for the same amount and is far better than the “free” ad supported services that everyone has become addicted to. We’ve been rallying for 20 odd years for payment based services instead of ads but whenever one comes along people shout it down. Funny isn’t it?

The movie Her had an answer for our current fascination for screens as well. It showed a world where computers were almost entirely voice driven with screens playing a secondary role as evidenced by their cell phones looking more like pocket books that close and hide the screen. If you’re worried about pods, well they’re already here and you’re probably holding one in your hands right now. Screens chain us down and mediate our interactions with the world in a way that voice doesn’t. You can walk and talk effortlessly but not so much walking and tapping or typing. If the AI can see and understand what you see (another scene in the movie where he goes on a date with his “phone” in his pocket) and understands enough to not need procedural instructions then it can truly act as an assistant capable of performing assigned tasks and filling in the details while you are free to go about your day. I believe this could end the paradigm of being chained to a desk for office work 8 hours a day and could also transform leisure time as well.
Not sure what you're talking about here. Seems like the Apple reality distortion ignorance field.

Lol, the gatekeeping of your post to say the iPad is not a tablet.

All I want in a tablet is a nice screen, fast CPU, and quick switching between apps.

I want those things OP complained about in the article to work (background apps/multitasking/background audio etc).

For me the tablet is a media consumption device. I write notes in Obsidian a tiny bit, but I want a keyboard to do any real work. I can use a bluetooth keyboard if I want.

I have no complaints about my tablet now. It even has a headphone jack.

I can put youtube (revanced, adblocked and sponsorblocked) on a split screen with reddit below.

I can use Firefox with adblock.

I can ssh and vnc to my servers.

I auto-sync files with my own servers using Syncthing.

iPad can't do those things.

What magic features does an iPad have? A pen? The absolute worst input method imaginable.

I had a pen on my OG Samsung Galaxy Note from 2011, and I never used it. Also on the Note 3, also never used that, because Pens suck.

More cameras I won't use? No thanks. I have very good cameras on my phone that is always with me, and a dedicated mirrorless for when I care to take really good photos.

I recognize that I'm obviously not the target market for iPad Pro - I don't want to hold a screen that big while sitting on the couch.

But from reading your post, the market for iPad Pro appears to be people ignorant enough to be deluded that it's so different and somehow "better quality" than any other tablet.

Then you read the actual article to see exactly how deluded they are.

IpadOS sounds like a shit show.

Literally the only thing Apple has that I am somewhat jealous of is battery efficiency of the fanless macbooks.

I want a fanless laptop (am I even permitted to call a macbook a laptop when it's so clearly superior to your Dell laptop? lol), but I won't suffer Apple to get one.

I don't even use my laptop except if I take it when I go away on holidays. But it's not in any way lower quality than macbooks.

Linux/Windows laptops should be fanless soon I hope.

The only quality Apple has over other manufacturers is the quality of their marketing.
Then you stop using the service.
The first Twitter link shows much worse performance of 4-O on coding/reasoning when compared to 4.

I am not convinced that 4-O is better than 4-T. In my own testing of getting it to write about future events as if they've already occurred, 4-O was hallucinating across the board whereas 4-T wasn't, making their score 0 and 100 respectively.

As I have see over a long period, OpenAI has had a systemic and longstanding problem of optimizing some goals at the expense of many others. It's always the same story with them: they advertise some updates without telling you all the ways in which the model is now worse.

AI is developing at a pace faster than even most technologists can keep up with, let alone the layman. It has been, and continues to be an amazing ride… but for the first time today I think my worry outweighs my excitement for the future. It will not be long before these models catch up with the average humans capabilities’s (if they haven’t already), and once the compute is cheap and plentiful (and it will eventually be), what happens to the average Joe?
