I think this "Mythos" situation, whether real or hype, points to the endgame here. Eventually, when you have a model powerful enough to have big consequences in the world, you stop worrying about selling it to consumers and start

My wonder isn’t why he is doing this, it’s more why everyone else is t doing the same? Are we all that sure we know what happens to the stock market when the government collapses?

Security companies? Seems like a lot of people would pay to have this on a dock in the back of their house checking their property every so often. A lot of camera systems are sold and this could replace a lot of permanently positioned camer

Not only that—anyone who's ever tried to have FaceTime sex knows that the only video they would capture is of your face watching porn... it's not like they can see your body unless you're specifically placing your phone in or

As a disabled person, I admit to being made slightly uncomfortable by the uncritical framing of genetically modified people as "therapy" that all people should want. Where is the line between "gene therapy" to eliminate

Two more small pieces of feedback, in case they're useful: - Consider a time-based free trial. As others have said, tokens are confusing, but also your model is unlimited so the chunk of tokens doesn't allow me to see what it migh

Thanks for all your hard work! Even, as a start, I found myself asking the app to copy the text to the clipboard for me without even thinking. Might be nice to be able to do that more seamlessly, just as a start? You've moved us all a

This is so cool! Great work. I'm writing this comment using Aqua Voice, and it's very impressive. I've been waiting for something like this. As a neurodivergent person, certain tasks (cough, email, cough) are about 10 times h

Our thoughts are not who we are, they are often motivated manifestations of our subconscious and often mal-adapted to our present circumstances.

Longtime HN poster here, asking for your help on the eve of the 15th anniversary of my first project, which has since grown into a tiny non-profit organization. Our goal is simple: to organize, preserve, and make accessible the art history

I've seen this sentiment repeated ad nauseam since this morning, but I can't fully understand it. The comparison isn't between Vision and full presence. Imagine watching the same video with Dad pointing his phone at everyone

My doctors have always said that losing weight too quickly results in the metabolization of one's muscles and other important, healthy tissue in addition to fat. Could it be that crash dieting works narrowly to solve, for example, diab

To be clear: we were talking about a "food forest," not the kind of row-based farm tractor in the video. I certainly agree that the kind of tractor in the video is simpler than the swarm units would be. But a giant tractor that ca

I guess it's true that the originally propose 1000 is an arbitrary number, and it would take some experimentation and work to figure out the ideal number of robots per acre to optimize whatever you care about most (yield, power consump

I guess I don't really understand your assumptions. Why would 1 massive machine capable of doing all the various tasks of managing this farm require less maintenance than 1000 presumably much simpler, smaller machines? Assuming other t

I love this vision and hope it becomes the dominant telos for all of the work underway in this area. In addition to "beautiful farm," imagine a world where farms, parks, wildlife preserves, decarbonization centers, and biological

This isn't intuitive to me. If one big tractor has a failure, the whole operation shuts down. If 1/1000 drones breaks, swap in a spare and move it to some kind (potentially automate-able) repair area. If the ideal number of drones

Furthermore, with the right sensors, there's an opportunity for the swarm to self-correct without human intervention based on results. It doesn't have to be exactly right at the moment, because any ill effects will be noticeable a

How about something more central for us east-siders? The new Konbi in Culver City would be great! Insanely delicious, lots of outdoor seating?

Why? Delusions can be fascinating, right? There's no contradiction between being curious about something and thinking it's delusional at the same time, right?

I'm curious what the (presumably delusional) for case for this is. Like, why would anyone think this would even be useful? Is it to combat crime? It says something vague in the article about "rider safety" but I don't
