I am in the same boat as I have an iMac 2015, although I specced it up from Apple at the time and it's just about holding on. You can buy something like the camlink 4k from elgato which will give it a HDMI via video capture. I'm a

Would Gemini pro be better for that perhaps? It has a much bigger context window.

I mean it’s good but all the answers seem to be coding which seems like is the main use for large language models.

I find all these systems, things like notion, obsidian etc intreasting but ultimately just hugely overwhelming when I come to use them, like I'm storing a lot of thoughts and ideas, but when I read through them, they sound nice to read

Exactly. It's amazing how many people seem to be missing this. I think a big problem is the amount of companies rushing to add AI to it's products when it's not really that good at the moment or not really that useful so ther

Isin't it a problem for youtube though for the amount of devices it has to work on? If they suddenly changed all of there DRM, then a lot of things would break including various smarttv's etc.

I got bored of it a few years ago when it basically became a thing for people selling expensive notion templates and thinking they had created some form of amazing product or 'operating system'

It's the cycle of most companies that are successful. Start as the rebel/upstart being more bold, fighting the system, disrupting, until they become big enough to become the system. It's just different games, as a startup you

It depends, it's just different viewpoints, I'm glad Apple reviews all software and decides if it's worth it and a lot of action from the EU tends just to make things worse/annoying for most users, while collecting big f

Yes but chatGPT very quickly switches to the very outdated 3.5 model. Plus right now this is going to be peak demand as everyone tests it out.

The more damning part is this though 'Ticketmaster refused to confirm it to reporters or customers and instead notified shareholders late on Friday.' They cared more about there shareholders than users.

Next week. Ticketmaster introduces new 'data protection fee' to all ticket purchases.

I'm out of luck. I bought the car thing via a third party as I'm in the UK where it was never sold. I get that is the risk of such things, i.e if the device malfunctioned I wouldn't be able to do anything, but it's still

I'm not sure how it would. The Spotify Car thing is just a controller for your phone, it doesn't actually do the streaming of the music, that is still handled by the app on the phone. It's just a kick in the teeth for users t

This is infuriating. I bought the CarThing for a Christmas present for someone just six months ago. I understand it was no longer supported at the time, but there is no reason why it couldn't still function as a controller, there solut

Now I'm just sad that it doesn't respond in a flirty Gilbert Gottfried style voice.

Is this not really only relevant to the US though and where Waymo are operating? Here in the UK, they recently passed this law, which could allow self driving cars from 2026 - https://www.theregister.com/2024/05/22

That wasn't my intention, so apologies if i've come across wrongly, I was just taken aback by the reaction. To me the situation is clear and common sense, you have a different view, which is bizarre to me, but likewise then I assu

I don't need to explain anything. Why should I explain a tweet? The tweet is the tweet, they used it for marketing. It doesn't' change anything, they can make it seem similar to her if they want by hiring a voice actor with s

by ChildOfChaos 2y ago
Wow. Having something similar to someone else does not equal theft. What is wrong with people? Why are they acting so weird about this. What about the voice actor that did this? Is her voice 'theft'?
81.
by ChildOfChaos 2y ago
No they didn't though. They hired a voice actor who had a similar voice profile to her, a similar voice to what they were looking for. If you just hear the voice they used, it sounds very similar, but if you actually play them side by

by ChildOfChaos 2y ago
This article is terrible. There is a lot of nonsense and drama about all of this, but the voice is clearly not Scarlet, even though they were clearly trying to get someone to sound like her. So much drama over nothing.

The Problem is though, iPadOS is basically iOS, there isn't much difference. So it's basically a phone with a bigger screen.

I remember even Sam said this, he said something along the lines that if you are just building something that is effectively a missing feature of ChatGPT or one of there products, they are going to end up replacing you, so you need to be bu

Eh maybe from a company point of view. But this race to add 'AI' into everything is producing a lot of nonsense. I'd rather go fullsteam ahead on the science and the new models, because that is what will actually get us somet

There was talk of 'voice engine' and the trademarks and details for that recently, I wouldn't be surprised to see that, mixed with the Gpt4-lite model which seems to be floating around (possibly GPT2-chatbot), maybe the light

Original comment I was responding too 'Probably as a stop gap solution until they make a true AI-centric chip.' They are using M2 Ultra on the servers because that has enough power / memory, the issue is there baseline machin

I'm not sure that a MacBook Pro at £1,899.00 should be a 'lower end configuration', if we are talking bout running AI locally and Apple want's to get in this game, they can't expect everyone to buy an extremely high

by ChildOfChaos 2y ago
It's also £4,199.00 for the M2 Ultra studio. I'm talking about more normal machines, all have 8gb including 2 out of the 3 MacBook Pro models, meaning you have to drop two grand for a MacBook Pro with 16gb memory and even that is

by ChildOfChaos 2y ago
I was responding to a comment that directly said this was a stop gap before they made a real AI centric chip, in that context, the chips will need more ram, until they do, they will be offloading a lot of stuff to the server. The Ultra may
