Also, out of curiosity, did you use an LLM to write this answer, or to edit it? It reads like you might have, but I'm not sure how good I am at picking up on this sort of thing.

It's unmuting system audio though! Unless I'm misunderstood what the hardware "mute" button does on my MacBook (and I'm pretty sure I'm not).

It seems like turning down the volume to zero instead of muting prevents this, at least for now. Hopefully they don't work around this work-around. It's crazy to me that apps have this access. This could lead to a lot of embarrass

How does YouTube unmute ads? Can this be disabled?

A charitable interpretation of what you're saying is that humans produce lots of original data from their experiences of the world, like thinking about their experiences, imagining what they would have done differently, and perhaps eve

I would add to this trying to find other people who know your friend and can help. Ideally local, but if he has friends who he trusts that he can talk to over phone/video that works too. Get their connect information. It sounds like th

The ad that bothers me most is actually the one where the guy just reads an AI-generated summary of a document at a meeting without having looked at the original. This is an amazing usecase for AI and I'm excited for it to get to that

Helping people be more productive with less effort, I'm all for it. But letting people fake the appearance of effort or sincerity by passing off AI-generated content as their own? Nope nope nope.

Is my knowledge out of date, or is this a step change in robotics capabilities? Boston Dynamics robots are impressive, but this seems way beyond what their robots have been able to do.

I'm looking forward to a non-Windows device that has two screens. Gave up on Windows a while ago, and as much as I love their Surface tablets, I don't think I'll go back.

Has anyone here tried a dual screen or folding screen laptop like the Lenovo 9i or the X1 fold gen 2? I imagined using them similarly, one screen for reading and one for writing.

I bet that book would end up with some very strange content, like attributing the invention of all sorts of obvious things to patent trolls.

by qnleigh 2y ago
A pro of foldables is that you mostly use the outer screen, but the battery is big enough to handle the inner screen. So you get excellent battery life for daily use. If you only use the inner screen for reading in dark mode the battery lif

I wish this were a viable option, but it is not. US national labs are horribly, horribly mismanaged. For some slower-moving fields like particle physics where institutional knowledge is key, they hold up alright, but for fast moving fields

Remember that podcast of two AI learning that they were AI? If anyone has used a tool like this to determine if that was actually made by NotebookLM, say so. There's been a lot of incredulity both ways.

I hope they add a feature to tune frequency of the word "like." The hosts in the example were using it multiple times per second. But more seriously, I suppose there will probably soon be a flood of AI-generated podcasts, if this

Funny you mention that. I've been experimenting with reading only Wikipedia as my source for news. I agree it seems to be an excellent source. What I can't figure out is how it seems to still be so neutral, given that it's co

by qnleigh 2y ago
This is an interesting claim. What evidence do you have for it? I don't mean this argumentatively, but rather that I'd like to read more and learn for myself.

Random question related to the photos of the phone's motherboard: Why does the PCB have so many holes in it? It looks very unusual. There's quite a large area with nothing but holes.

There was an excellent article here a few months ago about what drives the cost of nuclear power up so much, at least in the US. The US Navy has managed to develop relatively cheap nuclear reactors for submarines, so the technology exists.
