It can write (some) code that works. Just roughly guessing from my use, but I think of it as being a bit like ChatGPT circa-2024 in terms of capability & speed. Disappointing if you compare it to anything else from 2026, but fairly impr

These are speed bumps for you but they make it nearly impossible for something to go mainstream, so rest assured they work extremely well on others.

Really cool! Is this using a Google API? How is it not costing a small fortune?

Really nice. Bookmarked it. Thank you for making it!

They will always be training new models, so if training is expensive, that's just part of the business they are in. Vast amounts of capital have been poured in, but they continue to raise more. Presumably because they need more. Is the

Reminds me of Facebook's memories feature which used to say: "<name>, we care about you and the memories you share here." For an app to suggest a personal relationship with you is ridiculous.

> Self-driving vehicles need aircraft-type maintenance. That's a hyperbolic false equivalence. Aircraft typically carry hundreds of people and can crash to the ground. As long as a self-driving car can detect when it is degraded, it

I don't think it's anywhere near peaking yet. It's probably already far more popular than the 3DTV of the 2010s.

I think VR gaming can easily grow 10x - 100x by having cheaper, better fidelity, less bulky hardware and a better games library. I bet plenty of gamers haven't bought their first headset yet despite being interested.

When the problem is particularly exacerbated, it's not even "I got mine", but rather, "I already went into eye-watering levels of debt and I'm still paying off the roof over my head."

I think this approach gets the whole industry to adopt it. Consider the opposite approach. If they let airlines charge any amount for it, the airlines that installed it would make it expensive. No one would use it. Other airlines would feel

You're not wrong, but it also seems the most plausible use of VR for now. Those shortcomings also apply to Horizon Worlds.

Meta essentially made a sequel to Second Life. I've always been blown away by the fact that they didn't more fully pursue VR gaming. I think they could have found a more enthusiastic audience.

Except compatibility, but the biggest gap is browser support, which is in the process of getting closed. Chrome has shipped JXL support behind a flag. Firefox are in the process of implementing support. In Chrome you can enable JXL from her

Even if directed by a human, this is a demonstration that all the talk of "alignment" is bs. Unless you can also align the humans behind the bots, any disagreement between humans will carry over into AI world. Luckily this instanc

They are certainly far behind their original schedule, but do you mean to suggest that they are not making progress? If the original schedules hadn't been made public knowledge, the progress they have made would seem quite fast-paced.

I agree with you, but I find it interesting that BYD got started around the same time as Tesla. They took quite different paths to international distribution.

I wonder if the destruction would actually go ahead. What's worse, China having a monopoly on production, or the entire world being set back by X years? In this scenario X is a two-digit number, right?

Can you provide an example of something that the Tesla doesn't do well that the others do better?
