I see these clocks often in railway stations (I live in India). There is no seconds hand. The minute and hour hands move in clicks, not smoothly like most clocks.

I'm amazed at the pace at which this company ships. Probably faster than many software companies. But they're putting satellites in orbit...

The problem is that phone makers will keep more and more compute-hungry software. For example, when you take a picture on a modern phone, it takes several pictures across time and with different exposures etc. and measures gyro/acc dat

This was a pretty nice feature for me in the now defunct arc browser. It simply deletes tabs that you don't interact with for 12 hours. If its important I'll open it again!

I've a very simple rule after multiple bad experiences dealing with google products: I'm never going to pay for any google service or product ever again. If its free I'll use it, and make sure i can move my data off it when (

Notepad++ is the single biggest reason I prefer a windows pc over a macbook. It's such a no nonsense app with exactly the right mix of features and usability. One of these days I'll ditch vs code in favour of np++ for all my editi

I wrote my own. I know you're not supposed to do it, but I copied the django implementation as best I could so its probably OK. It's not much work actually.

So if you want to look at your phone there's a voice going "I shall pick up my phone and swipe the lock away now."? Trying to understand if ALL thinking is in words or some subset.

I don't even have any options to choose a different voice. It's just a very mechanical voice. I feel the default google assistant voice was way better than this one.

I used the newly released gemini live mode. I thought they were positioning it against chatgpt live mode. But the voice is hilariously unnatural. It makes you not want to talk to it at all. If this is the best google can do, they are years

I don't think you need to fully understand how the brain works to be able to create AGI. Did the invention of the wheel/cart/car require us to fully understand how we walk? Did we need to fully understand how fish swim before

So can we run it on a computer now? That's the end goal, isn't it? Or maybe ask an LLM to look at the upload and figure out what makes it tick.
