I've thought larger bi-folds have an odd aspect ratio for anything but two-app multi-tasking. E.g. there's ~ no benefit for videos compared to non-foldables with half the screen area. Is aspect ratio not an issue in practice someh

Great points. Re safety, I wasn't imagining the consumer doing it themselves but some robot like ones imagined for whole-battery swapping (e.g. https://youtu.be/Oj6LaYFall4 ); I think any battery swapping only makes sen

Neat idea to mix batteries of different age and chemistries. I've wondered why EVs couldn't do that too with some power electronics and SW. If an EV battery could have multiple such modules, it'd: 1) Make it easier to carry a

Apple and Google are now competing on being more closed, rather than on being more open. Perhaps because we gave Apple a free pass on curbing our freedoms, and even defended its actions as needed for 'security'

AI interviews don't make sense when it's each company making the candidate do separate interviews, coz the company isn't spending any human time (no skin in the game) and can easily abuse candidates' time. I think it&#x2

I had filled out the form for this. Wish Eric stuck to this instead of the Pebble revival: it'd have a bigger market. I don't understand how the market isn't considered big enough for any phone OEM: how can it be smaller than

Beautiful work! I appreciate how this robot clearly does NOT try to look like any natural creature. I don't want a future where we can't easily distinguish nature from robotics. So far humanoid robots look clearly robotic too: hop

All current AR glasses are fundamentally designed to see the real world with existing light, as opposed to XR (mixed reality) glasses that block out all existing light from reaching your eyes and create a real-time "passthrough" v

Blended price (assuming 3:1 for input:output tokens) is 3.24x of what was stated before [1], and now nearly 5x of 2.0 Flash. Makes 2.0 Flash a still competitive option for many use-cases, particularly ones that aren't coding-heavy I th

What's the SOTA for generating animated vector graphics these days? The text-oriented LLMs don't seem to be able to draw aesthetic SVG paths, and the image diffusion models do bitmaps rather than vectors. I think there's a bi

Now all the big 3 LLM providers provide web search grounding in their APIs, but how do they compare in ranking quality of the retrieved web search results? Anyone run benchmarks here? Clearly web search ranking is hard after decades of cont

Strongly agree with the author that the original prompt is much more substantive, but I think they're mistaken that "skin in the game" is a small motivating factor for human written text. It's the entire motivation: we a

Yup I directly search Wikipedia often too. Hmm Hackerpedia could work, or ReddiRank.

Is there any way to access this via the API, after perhaps some oauth from the Anthropic user account?

Much better visualization of personalization options compared to other websites. Am genuinely excited. It's like Project Ara was for smartphones, except on phones there's inherently limited space to allow for personalization, and

V v cool: first time I've seen such expressiveness in TTS for laughs, coughs, yelling about a fire, etc! What're the recommended GPU cloud providers for using such open-weights models?

One of the things that bothers me most about advertising is that we sell attention to the highest bidder. It happened before online ads too but online ad networks 'perfected' the bidding process. And I say this as someone who&#x27

How is the latency (Time To First Byte of audio, when streaming) and throughput (non-vibe characters input per second) compared to the existing 'tts-1' non-HD that's the same price? TTFB in particular is important and needs t

Text allows developers lots for flexibility to do other processing, including RAG, calling APIs yourself and multiple chained LLM invocations. The low latency of realtime API means relying fully on one invocation of their model to do everyt

I'm super happy about the revival (I backed the first Pebble Kickstarter) and the bullet list of key features you're targeting would make my dream watch, but I hope you take this as constructive criticism that you're way off

Any provider already hosting this (similar to how many providers host Whisper for STT)? Looks like doesn't support streaming tho (same with Whisper coincidentally), but great to see open models get so much better.

I backed the first Pebble on Kickstarter. I didn't like its industrial design but voted with my wallet for the _idea_ behind it. I had high hopes for subsequent iterations but IMO it never evolved into a sufficiently beautiful industri

I agree that seems like the next step, but how will that help push salaries down? I thought remote work would do that much more, coz many employees would move to less expensive areas in the same country and new hiring would focus on lower-i
