I understand the existential problem that Meta faces here, but those forces have created a worse product. As a Meta Ray Ban owner my biggest takeaway is that these glasses shouldn't have a CPU. They should be a dumb camera, mic, and sp

Disagree with you there having used Rayban Metas for about six months. Always-on access to an LLM via voice is a useful and novel way of interacting with computers. From trivial things like asking it about a landmark I'm seeing or when

Here's the deal, you don't need any of this. I have Rayban Metas and the hardware is great...but the software borders on being unhelpful. If they merely served a dumb camera and bluetooth headset to my phone they'd be an unbe

You missed the most important one, strong social connections. Maybe smoking might beat it out, but otherwise make sure you have a strong social network if you want to live longer (and with better quality of life).

You're conflating a president (highest executive) with a monarch. Perhaps on purpose given current goings on, but a key distinction between monarchies and democracies is explicitly that all people in the country are subject to the same

Just tried it out, interesting product! I can foresee it being useful when I write documentation, e.g. given an existing repo and my new guide, can the AI agent implement said feature? Does it fumble? I only got one run it looks like for fr

Why are science communicators so consistently missing the mark? Is it not obvious that if you're writing an article proclaiming to capture _explosions_ at 7mths of a second, people want to see some pictures of said explosions? Clearly
