I think this needs to be heavily qualified. GPT-4 does well at mathematics taught to children, but so does Wolfram Alpha with some prodding. Calculus is also taught to bright high schoolers. What can GPT-4 do with group theory, topology, un

There are ads for paid iCloud features in the iCloud prefpane. It’s not anything as egregious as Windows ads but it’s disappointing for me whose first experience with macOS was Snow Leopard that felt like magic compared to Windows XP.

This is why the scene in Mando that’s clearly just some random hill outside LA still looks so much better than anything else in the show. Andor has some great scenes that are shot on location in Scotland.

Eyes are not focused at 2cm in VR, that's ridiculous. The focus distance is several meters but it varies between sets. You notice this when objects get close to you and your natural instinct causes you to focus closer, making the entir
