I agree. No matter how good LLMs and voice recognition get, having a screen is still the best way of inputting and reading information in many scenarios. If I'm trying to find a restaurant to go to, unless I'm in a real "just

SnazzyLabs bought their case a few years ago for a hackintosh project and did not review it favorably. They send you a bunch of flat panels of metal you have to bend into shape yourself, and are supposedly very flimsy and can be easily bent

I think that explanation proves perfectly that it can be translated. Depending on the context, you'd want either explanation. If you're learning Japanese you'd probably want the explanation of how and when it's used, and

Perhaps I'm just taking the word "untranslatable" more literally than some, but I think if you can explain the surrounding cultural context, you've translated it. Different scenarios require different methods of translat

I wouldn't really say that's untranslatable though. I feel like you could pretty easily translate something like "you are poop" into any language and explain that in the English phrase, adding "the" is modern c

I get hung up when people say there are terms that are "untranslatable". What does that mean? Is it just a series of sounds that people use in a certain context to convey a certain meaning, but the greater phrase can't be bro

LLMs are impressively good at confidently stating false information as fact though. They use niche terminology from a field, cite made-up sources and events, and speak to the layman as convincingly knowledgable on a subject as anyone else w

I think the issue is just bad direction on that video. They released this "video handbook" a couple weeks ago that's much more human. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyPxwp3SxdU If there's anything about

Yeah, that video infamously had mistakes of it telling him the wrong location to view the eclipse, as well as saying a handful of almonds had WAY more protein than it should have.

I don't know if Google Glass really fits in with the rest of that list. That wasn't some overfunded VC startup that ended up releasing a bad, overhyped product. It was essentially a side-project from Google. I don't think was

Do we even know if Humane developed their own laser technology and it's not just an off-the-shelf, or custom-ordered part from another company? The one thing Humane seems to have done good is make a nice piece of hardware with a sleek,

Yeah but if you look at a lot of single-screen apps with about 5 input boxes developed for Windows/Linux, they've got a face only a FOSS fanatic could love.

I'd really urge the author to rethink doing something like this at all. The app looks great but those stats on the front page were an immediate turn-off for me (not to mention how it pops up in what looks like an annoying cookie banner
