Just because there is porn on Twitter doesn't invalidate the fact it is the app for spreading ideas in public. The most popular people on Twitter post their thoughts and opinions, Instagram's most popular users are people who like

An AI coding assistant is different, it will write an entire loop, including the body, with proper guards, and so on, in 1-2 seconds.

Have you actually tried it? Copilot + vim for me is faster, and less frustrating tbh, than vim without Copilot. Typing obvious things is a PITA, and in code we type a lot of obvious things.

Don't forget the Steam Deck is a bridge to the standalone VR headset that will run games like Alyx.

Accusing someone of being naive is rude when it could be that you just missed the point.

Twitter is the idea app, Instagram is the thirst trap app. It's not going to work.

Eventually guys like this get tuned out because they tear other people down. There are plenty of rational, thoughtful critics of technology, and the ones who are most listened to are the ones who have built things and shown themselves willi

"Harbor any kind of naive optimism" - weasel words, is it bad to have any optimism? or just naive optimism? or just some naive optimism? write more clearly next time. there are a variety of actors you are talking about and there a

Yep it's gross. I got downvoted of course but what I wrote is the truth.

Nice mental gymnastics and self-rationalization, but I never said calling people tech bro's was bigotry. It absolutely is tribalistic stereotyping though, which is a key part of the same underlying mental phenomenon that leads to bigot

It's really fascinating that our industry produces these kinds of bitter, cynical guys who are so brainwormed they talk in terms of ridiculous tribes like "tech bros" without realizing they're stereotyping people in a wa

No, it's a push from Congress to determine if the US has been storing retrieved non-human spacecraft. Hope that helps.

No, you said they are 'unrelated to security.' Just admit you made a mischaracterization. It happens.

Yes, one would assume if you charter a boat to the middle of the ocean hunting for alien debris, you are inclined to want to find some. Fortunately, as we know, it isn't the end of the world that humans have motivations to do scientifi

You've constructed a very elegant frame here that says basically nothing at all.

Not really, newer LLMs do a better job than older LLMs at not making things up, and there is a lot of research going into this issue, since it’s the most obvious problem with LLMs right now.

Apple already showed you can bring your Mac screens into the Vision Pro. Unfortunately I don't think anyone is going to be able to compete with the frontier hardware leaders right now on desktop computing, since we're at the point

Anyone who thought reprojection was the solve for AR considered this solution since you'd have to find a way to simulate glass. The first consumer grade passthrough VR was the GearVR in 2015 or so, so I don't think the idea was or

You don't troll someone to the point of letting them go testify under oath to the IG.

It's absolutely a useful realization since there were many things we could have and should have done, that would have been cost-free, if only people were a little more willing to admit that the vaccines did confer meaningful rates of h

Yes, thanks for demonstrating what I meant by "not reckoning" with it.

Yes like I said, we won't reckon with it, we'll continue to argue about if more people were killed than not killed by the mandates.

No, they didn't just say that, that was the problem. They said that there was no evidence to support the idea that masks were effective against COVID-19. This is the usual weasel word approach of saying "there is no evidence"

the real immediate risk isn't either of these imo. it's agentic AI leveraging some of that to act on the wishes of bad actors.

Here's my proposal: https://gfodor.medium.com/to-de-risk-ai-the-government-must-... tl;dr: significant near term AI risk is real and comes from the capacity for imagined ideas, good and evil, to be autonomously execute

Language models struggle specifically with token games like this, since they can’t see them at that resolution or something.

I can't believe he spent his precious time on this and didn't instruct the grad student to pay $20 to use GPT-4. Sigh.

My short list of expected requirements for an Apple HMD to be released, I posted on Twitter a while ago. - Continual eye contact (reverse passthrough) - All day wearable (not all day use) - Rapid toggling of AR (via flip-up, probably) - Fas
