The real problem is the amount of Ram they include in the processors, Apple's insistence on keeping 8gb as the base is going to hold them back here.

This is all really silly. Don't people have anything better to get upset about? I wish companies/Apple didn't cave every time a couple of people start crying. It must be really annoying to work in such industries, you spend a

AI is not going away. The bubble might burst though when there are big break throughs by someone like OpenAI or google, as right now money is being thrown at anything with AI in the name, when those startups fail to deliver the bubble will

I use Gemini pro 1.5 for this as it has a large context window. https://aistudio.google.com/app/ Feed it the pdf and prompt it that you only want answers from the supplied text with references to appropriate page numbe

There is a rumour of an OpenAi event apparently next week, so likely what this is. Some creators also seem to suggest they know what is going on, youtube mattvidpro hinted at it when talking about the gpt2-chatbot, he mentioned he knew some

I love perplexity, but I can see there days being more numbered. I heard Sam talking in an interview where he mentioned that OpenAI would end up killing a lot of startups building on top of GPT, if they were just adding missing functionalit

Isn't this what they are expected to be announcing next week at the press conference?

Sam seems to have referenced this in his tweets, were he tweeted: "I have a soft spot for GPT-2" and then "I have a soft spot of GPT2" Considering that it reports back it's GPT 4, I'm guessing the underlaying m

Thanks, it's annoying some of the best places seem to be the places I am trying to avoid due to wanting to avoid the more negative aspects of it. Do you have any recommendations on twitter of who is good to follow? Particularly interes

Where are the best places to keep up with all of this? I'm very interested in this area as I want to use these tools to create things with and my own voice isn't great for this. Speech to speech seems like it might be better than

The advancement in AI and LLMs with decent context windows is a usecase I am excited about for all of this. Because I can read a book without taking such a huge amount of notes, which makes it easier to stay with those ideas and quicker to

This is great. A few years ago I read a book a month and too this day my thinking is still guided a lot by a lot of those books, but I stopped doing it because it was taking so much time in the amount of notes I was taking and I just don&#x

There was a thread yesterday which was on /r/getmotivated, the typical word spew from a teenager who had started a newsletter. Advising people that all they had to do is outlast everyone and that was easy because everyone else qui

And also a counter point, just because things are simple, doesn't mean it is easy. Those two things are separate and we often get them confused, when things are hard, we think it must be more complex than it is, which is not usually th

Nice, I was exactly the same, I looked at the alternatives and I put of buying it for some time due to cost, in the end just went for it as I realised although expensive for a timer, it wasn't a massive cost. It's been useful so f

Recently bought a Time Timer. Great little timer and since I run my life by timers/time blocking things I find it really useful, just to set a timer and go and I can easily see it visually which helps keep me focus. Completely analogue

I use cold turkey to block sites on Mac, it's really good, it's quite powerful with lots of options, many different blocklists and you can have a lot of control over it, i.e block things at certain times, time limit sites, or have

You've also got to consider that we don't really know where OpenAI are though, what they have released in the past year have been tweaks to GPT4, while I am sure the real work is going into GPT5 or whatever it gets called. While a

I wish apps and phones were more customisable so I could get rid of all the crap I don't want. I very much vibe with this life and the idea behind the phone, however it still just isn't practice, I still want to have a great camer

Reddit is kinda trash these days, more rubbish is added to it when all that matters is the core functionality. However with growth, it's just full of idiots, you go to any subreddit for something that you are interested in and it'

Yes, but how much software does something similar? if you are going to penalize Apple for this you will have to penalize a huge amount of companies, it's a very slippery slope, as what do you define as being anti-competitive and what d

I don't know why, but for some reason why I see something like this, I can't help but imagine what it must be like for Tim Cook receiving this news when he is randomly going about his day. It's got to be a huge punch to the f

Seems rather unfair on Apple to me. You don't have to buy an Apple product, when you do, you know what you are getting, there is choice. These things always seem like some strange powerplay, if such bodies weren't happy, they shou

So the basis of the argument is a different coloured bubble for a messaging application? that is a society issue, not an apple issue, the different messages should be different colours, so you understand the difference.

"the reality that in 2024 their software kind of sucks, and that their customers only use it because they don't have alternative" That's an extremely hot take. When devices are mostly just slabs of glass and the interfac

Wouldn't a personal AI help you live a more well-balanced life, allowing us to offload tasks to it so we can appreciate the world around us and simplicity, rather having to do it all ourselves?

I fear that Claude will become neutered, it's already refusing a prompt that I was using a few days ago without issue, infact I can still go back to the old chat and continue it, but restarting it Claude refuses.

I get what you are saying, but that is why the Vision Pro is still an over engineered dev kit for a half baked OS. At least the Meta Quest for example has a lot of content and VR games. The Vision Pro doesn't seem to have much use apar

by ChildOfChaos 3y ago
I mean the Vision Pro seems like an over engineered dev kit to me, like the article describes. The vision pro seems to miss the mark in some many areas and seems like it's ahead of it's time, which is odd for Apple and the Quest 3
