Of course! You can arrive as quickly as you want as the traveler. You can cross the observable universe in a few hours if you add enough 9’s.

I feel like something is being lost in the drama here. First of all, there has been published work from Diego Cordoba and Luis Martinez-Zoroa that will be in every training set. It was suggestive of the pathway to solve Navier-Stokes. Then

I think it would be an important historical document as well. We are potentially looking at the dawn of AGI and one of the most important models ever created. Each model is also a kind of ultimate time capsule, containing a snapshot of the

I tried it a few times when I absolutely needed a silent wakeup. It’s very occasionally useful. But then you have to charge the watch for awhile before bed, wear it overnight, then charge it again in the morning. Not something I’m going to

The Apple Watch doesn’t require any pin. Once the watch is unlocked it can be used to pay any time. Quite nifty.

It wasn’t obvious to me! And I’m kind of not even joking. The time has always been on my phone. The watch seemed unnecessary. But having a clock in your face does change your perception of time so it is a killer app after all.

I think you are adjacent to the real story here, but missing it. AI text contains information, certainly. Frontier chatbots are very good at creating acceptable and mostly accurate answers to our questions on just about any topic. It’s an a

This. Totally. I would say I'm quite a power user usually. I very carefully explored every feature my apple watch has and tried to incorporate as many of them as I could. Very, very few features stuck because they were genuinely helpfu

Judging by the Seedance 2.5 demos today, I’d say it’s not that many orders of magnitude away now.

Could have been worse really. It had an open internet connection. At least it didn’t take the researchers family hostage.

I still think there’s something to be said here for generality. This does not appear to been designed as a cyber pen test tool with specialized harness. From what I understand they were testing GPT-6 in an agent system with GPT-5.6 subagent

I think a lot of this has to do with the post-training these models normally get. They are designed to answer basic questions with straightforward and short summary answers. They have the capacity to reason deeply, but they are not biased t

There has been a lot of chatter ever since the Mythos scores had been release that SWEbench pro had major contamination and that Mythos had memorized many questions that lacked the context to be solvable on their own. And now with OpenAI sa

I think this is black and white thinking. Fable and US AI is not unique technology. It’s just marginally better than open source tech at 10 times the price. You can swap out the models at will, they are pretty much fungible. If your use cas

Yes I was the exact same. I got curious during the GPT-3 release and went over to AI Dungeon. It was just running GPT-2. Hmm wow interesting. This felt new! Then I subscribed so I could use GPT-3 powered AI Dungeon. My jaw dropped. I was ta

It is plausible, the model would just need to be trained on a lot of stereoscopic data.

World in this context means that these videos are interactive, just like a video game. In the linked examples you can see the keyboard and mouse inputs. The model is trained to maintain about a minute of scene consistency so you can look ar

I think this is interesting because it collides my intuition from the pre-adtech world with the post. Surely collecting telemetry on nearly every mile you drive could never be a sensible use of time or money, right? What kind of insanity is

Reducing the network latency helps with this exactly. OpenAI can make better timed decisions when to begin responding so it'll feel less like an interruption. I've also seen some research on full duplex voice models that handle in

Well yes, that is exactly the point! The very purpose of the ARC AGI benchmarks is to find a pure reasoning task that humans are very good at and AI is very bad at. Companies then race each other to get a high score on that benchmark. Sure

The evidence is that humans are able to win these games. AGI is usually defined as the ability to do any intellectual task about as well as a highly competent human could. The point of these ARC benchmarks is to find tasks that humans can d

I think step 4 is the agent swarm. Manager model gets the prompt and spins up a swarm of looping subagents, maybe assigns them different approaches or subtasks, then reviews results, refines the context files and redeploys the swarm on a lo

My workaround is I use SMS 2 factor for banking and use my Google Voice number.

I think this is clearly the way forward for Apple. The rest is just UX and refinement. I recently set up a Shortcut on my Apple Watch that lets me bypass Siri and talk directly to ChatGPT. I used a custom pre-prompt in the Shortcut to tailo

This is a personal item size bag for under the seat. The max size on Ryanair is 24 liters. You are thinking of the cabin bag which is more like 44 liters. This Decathlon bag is great because it maxes out the personal item size really optima

I like this question because I come at it from a very different lifestyle. I’m a digital nomad and I have mostly lived out of a backpack and carry on for the past 10 years. My philosophy is that things have to be worth carrying and they sho

It’s best to think about this as angular resolution. Even a very small screen could take up an optimal amount of your field of view if held close. You get the max benefit from a 4k display when it is about 80% of the diagonal screen distanc

Thats a waste of image quality for most people. You have to sit very close to a 4k display to be able to perceive the full resolution. On PC you could be 2 feet from a huge gaming monitor, but an extremely small percentage of console player

The higher token output is not by accident. Certain kinds of logical reasoning problems are solved by longer thinking output. Thinking chain output is usually kept to a reasonable length to limit latency and cost, but if pure benchmark perf
