A lot of the form factor is already mostly available in smart watches. They have to, at the bare minimum, conver the bsse functionality of those before moving onto real time ai interaction that is never real time and is hardly a proper interaction.
Progressive enhancement would be great here, smart watch in a pin form factor but with AI powered features when they make sense. Maybe some kind of super fine tuned orchestrator that know when to pass onto siri/assisstant vs. some cloud model (setting a timer requires simple parsing but a complex philosophical question can be offloaded to AI)
Eternally grateful for people uploading and storing things like this, as well as to you for sharing it with me!
The opposite of this realization is the plot of Nightfall by Isaac Asimov, now it makes me interested in a story about some kind of people realising that there is sunlight out there. I'm sure someone has made a story about this.
Always boils down to the "If I buy a bigger car I'll be safer!" fallacy. If I buy even bigger shoes I'll be safer from injury in running! If I buy bigger and better trousers I will get less injured at work! If I buy a bigger phone I will get scammed less!
I hope people in all the countries facing their initial "Yank Tank" fevers will vote someone in that is responsible enough to reverse this process. I recently sold my 2003 "Combi"-style car because it was simply too big, looking for something smaller has me left wanting but I'll make do without a car for the time being.
It is a typical Youtube clickbait title but the Youtuber in question doesn't seem to be nefarious, it does what it says on the tin :P I'd say the description covers what the video is about better.
I think it's a sensible position to be in. I tend to use AI in order to build awareness of it's capabilities. I find that sometimes it is useful for brainstorming or "tip of my tongue" searches but as you say the actual coding capabilities are exaggerated.
To me Cognition AI is doing what most other hype-based startups do which is generate good headlines so that VC money can keep pouring in. It is up to us to spot and question things that don't quite make sense... and anything with the words "AI understands X" don't make sense currently ^^
YouTuber Internet of Bugs examines the latest demo from Cognition that showcases their "first AI software engineer" allegedly solving UpWork programming tasks.

Saudi Arabia’s wildly ambitious plan to build 500m tall, mirrored, 170km long parallel skyscrapers, forming a 1.5M population desert city has been curtailed to 2.4km long.
The news was broken by the financial news publication Bloomberg, which said that Saudi Arabia’s government had “scaled back its medium-term ambitions” for Neom, of which The Line is the most significant sub-project.
The Saudi government had hoped to have 1.5M residents living in The Line by 2030, but this has been scaled back to fewer than 300,000, according to the report. It is unclear how it intends to house a higher concentration of people considering the proposed length (and therefore area) has been massively slashed.
I think it would be fair to doubt your point, could you share which earbuds you were using and how you were using them? I think the disagreement here will also stem from the fact that IEMs + playing music is pretty great "active noise cancellation" in itself.
When I listen to a podcast on my IEMs I hear quite a lot of the outside world, when I do the same with ANC headphones on I hear much less.
I think the police have stated they are not yet aware of a possible motive, we know the child's weapon was registered to a close relative but how they got it and why they used it is still a mystery. Terrible and sad that someone so young felt like taking a life is a valid course of action.
You're right, there seems to have been some misreporting initially.
Police say a shooting north of Helsinki has injured three children and a suspect has been arrested.
Police say they responded to the incident at Viertola school before 09:00 (06:00 GMT) on Tuesday and urged local residents to remain indoors.
A suspect, who police say was also aged 12, has been arrested.
The school has 800 students and 90 staff. Witnesses told public broadcaster YLE that two ambulances had left the scene.
In common with other Finnish schools, children had just returned to classes in Vantaa, north of the capital Helsinki, after the long Easter weekend.
Somehow I did not even consider the fact they lobbied for the position to purposefully undermine women's rights... just horrific.
I think it's more about knowingly switching out a meal rather than just patting yourself on the back because you eat mac and cheese twice a week. For every conversation we have online there are a few people that learn something from it, myself included, I think the thread is interesting!
This entire fiasco is completely confusing. As far as I understand there was pressure for the current chair to drop the position and hand it over to someone else, Bangladesh was expected to take over but Saudi Arabia lobbied for the chair (this is the part that confuses me, do they think holding the position will boost their public image?). Since there were no rival candidates, part of the lobbying, they were unanimously voted for because the UN cannot be bothered to actually give a damn about women's rights and wanted the whole meeting to be over with*.
So now we'll get another 2 years of minimal progress from the CSW, as has been the case in the past, and Saudi Arabia will be in a scrutinising light for the duration but not much will fundamentally change.
I hope I'm proven wrong!
- pessimistic? realistic?
Exactly, in the last decade or so I went from pescetarian to vegetarian to vegan and for the last few years I have been "flexitarian". My own adoption of it is different to others in the sense that most of what I eat at home is still vegan but on average I probably have 1-2 vegetarian meals at home a week and I don't have many issues eating vegetarian (sometimes meat) outside of the house.
I still avoid a lot of meat, especially things like veal, but I find being "flexible" also helps talk to people about it. It is much less intimidating asking someone to try having 2 veggie meals a week than telling them they need to universally drop all animal products from their diet.
A sample size of a few dozen people complaining online while thousands quietly purchase said bibles. Absolutely not buying into "the fury of Christians" either.
I always thought it had more to do with the aesthetic of vinyls rather than any sort of ownership dilemma. A good chunk of my friends own multiple vinyl records but no record player. I also wonder what the production rates are like for vinyls vs CDs, are we producing about the same quantity of them?
At the end of the day this company is pouring a ton of money into a technology that could use it, I'm incredibly excited for the accessibility potentials but just so scared of the malpractices that might (and probably will) be going on. Sadly I think most of the "external" BCIs are in the "study" phase rather than any sort of production. If you do find something that is consumer available, please let me know!
I agree that the usage of "white" is irrelevant here. That being said, are you in academics? It is not an unusual situation for people to not be aware of the "face behind the maths" so to speak. Granted, this is not entirely unique to women in science but it is exhaustingly common for women to be questioned more than their peers.
I think questioning this is fine as many people lie but I wouldn't take this to mean this type of situation didn't happen/couldn't happen.
