People are generally assuming Apple is also developing these internally. They just don't show off their tech until it is ready. But I would love to know where they are in comparison with respect to weight, size and field of view. I kno

If you put kids in them 8 hours a day, it would be a concern (although I don't think there is substantive evidence either way yet). I think there's a safe middle ground where using something like this for up to couple of hours in

I was an early adopter of the Galaxy Note which looked outlandishly large and goofy, back when people still spoke in awe of how Jobs made the 3.5" iPhone to fit the human hand naturally and no other form factor could possibly be right.

They are definitely walking a fine line to portraying a dystopia. I wonder how aware of that they are internally.

heh ... i'm frustrated that the schools my kids are going to aren't embracing this tech. the applications in education are absolutely mind blowing.

I know Europeans will probably be all high fiving each other and congratulating themselves on how much better their regulatory environment is. But consider the other side of this coin : one of the biggest risks identified for AI is bias in

The elephant in the room is that true randomised controlled trials take decades to do and even then are almost impossible to build in a way that teases out nuances such as the specific effects of individual compounds within a supplement. So

The question I would have is what the long term consequence is. I can completely believe there's a real benefit over weeks to months. I've experienced this myself in using a chatbot to talk through career decisions. It was nothing

Looking forward to the AI that is just really excited to tell you it has a new IT certification or promotion from mediocre middle-manager position X to mediocre middle manager position Y.

i find it so much harder to grok the structure of Vue 3.x code. A data variable or prop can be defined literally anywhere. And it could be directly reactive or a ref. It's all cognitive load I didn't need before. Vue was always &q

I wonder if they have read the study that showed that mentioning AI in a product description significantly reduced intention to buy. It seems intuitively plausible and a significant and measurable effect in the study. [0] https:/&#x2F

What about "small tech"? ... because it's small tech that need Section 230. If anything, retraction of 230 will be the real free ride for big tech, because it will kill all chance of threatening competition at the next level

It depends on what you mean by "soon". For sure, it's not happening next year. But within 5 years I think the hardware will get to a point where it's possible, and then within 10 it will be compelling. The "strappi

I think the teleportation angle is even more compelling from the point of view of enabling virtual co-presence. With photo-realistic avatars as Apple and Meta have both demonstrated are fully possible, we'll soon be in a situation wher

I think the chain of logic is that due to anaemic reception and the Quest3 being unexpectedly good, Apple has pulled forward the cheaper Vision Pro. This has lead to Meta launching head to head with that product, and hence needing to either

Interesting point: > Despite the ban, news organization content is still available on Meta platforms through work-around strategies like screengrabs, with 36% of Canadian users reporting encountering news or links to news on Facebook or

they give you the code and they give you the model it runs, and you can customise and redistribute both. It's all open source in that respect. What people are complaining about (totally unreasonably in my view) is obviously Meta is no

I found this dubious as well, especially how it is portrayed as a simple game of compute power. For a start, there is an enormous asymmetry which is why we have a spam problem in the first place. For example a single bot can send out millio

They open sourced Gear VR. The are a stark contrast to other players in terms of how they have built everything on open standards (OpenXR, WebXR, etc), and they have just opened their platform by allowing third parties to build and customis

You make a good argument. The sad thing is that I could see this might put an end to open models while still allowing big tech to host them. Because creation of a derivative work isn't a problem itself, it only infringes at the point &

We use a custom tool that bases everything on markdown for this type of thing. It also integrates Jupyter notebooks. It is mostly very effective but the limitations of Markdown certainly grate. Having said that the best thing by far is that

Do you think it comes from a fundamental misconception of how these roles should be structured? My take is that you just can't fundamentally assess technical elements from the outside unless they have been designed that way in the firs

Another version of the "fail big" or "big lie" type phenomenon. Impact 1% of your customers and they sue you saying the gradual rollout demonstrates you had prior knowledge of the risk. Impact 100% of your customers and

There's some irony there in that the whole point of CrowdStrike itself is that it does behavioural based interventions. ie: it notices "unusual" activity over time and then can react to that autonomously. So them telling you

So since I do mission critical healthcare I do run into this concept. But it's not as unresolvable as you portray. Consider for example HIPAA "break the glass" requirement. It says that whatever else you implement in terms of

So CrowdStrike is deployed as third party software into the critical path of mission critical systems and then left to update itself. It's easy to blame CrowdStrike but that seems too easy on both the orgs that do this but also the ups
