You'd think stores would've unplugged the router after the widespread hacks a few weeks ago. Easy to say from my armchair I suppose.

You have to be logged in and, if I understand correctly, if you don't log in to old.reddit for six months (retroactive) they take it away.

It's the top image on the product page: https://www.apple.com/ipad-mini/

I would assume, however, that they didn't "fake" it - that they instead chose a filming position and lens such that camera was obscured behind the edge of the device (the edge facing the viewer is the far side from the camera). Bit of trickery for sure though.

The amazing part of DeepSeek's caching is that the TTL is (although not guaranteed) like 8-24 hours. Makes a big difference to how much time I can spend reviewing code, when most everyone else offers maybe 1 hour (for subscribers - often minutes for API users).

The flying-on-RCS-in-gravity reminds me of those old videos of exoatmospheric kill vehicle tests: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnofCyaWhI0

Patently absurd, of course, but amazing too.

Yes, although the original patent expired in 2017 so it's a little less clear-cut nowadays. They do have hundreds of patents and bought up basically all non-Chinese competitors though.

Regular old trade secrecy is also a big factor I think. I look for interesting new EPD papers on scholar.google from time to time, and they tend to be about stuff an undergrad would think of in the first twenty minutes, which suggests to me that everyone is trying to keep their tech very much under wraps.

For pure reading of text it provides minimal benefit (color highlighting and cover art, mostly) while costing contrast ratio and dollars. Especially since some devices (e.g. Kobo Libra) are now offered only with a color display, I can see why someone would call it a gimmick. I personally view the reflectivity of eink as the entire point and thus have no interest in it.

That said, of course if you want to view color content on an EPD then it is quite necessary and not a gimmick at all.

Dermatologists (at least, the mundane sort you come across in a suburban office park) are another matter entirely. I assume it comes from doing a lot of elective work for wealthy people who are concerned with their appearance rather than their health. The PCP is more surprising to me.

The Opus 5.5 implementation is noticeably slow on my machine as well (Firefox, Fedora, Gnome Wayland, AMD 6800U).

They proved it is possible, by doing it themselves. Whether anyone is actually hiding in the wild is unknown.

This kind of possibility was the subject of some discussion on r/localllama the other day: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1wxvt41/my_qwen...

(in that case it seems likely to just be an overfit to the training environment, imo)

Muse Glimmer, Muse Spark, Muse Wonder?

What's next, Sun Shine?

No, the directive is that all AI should now be called super intelligence (SI), and this stems from a single decision from the president rather than being an ongoing political debate. (AI was of course political before, but this terminology seems to have come out of nowhere.)

Why, I don't know. The OP's "purity test" theory is a possibility.

there's even an extend api key in there (invalid though, would've been cool if it did something special)

I don't know what that Arianespace figure is referring to (perhaps just the commercial satellite market, or the portion of it they expect to capture?) but there were 317 successful launches to orbit in 2025. Last April there were six in 24 hours: https://www.space.com/space-exploration/launches-spacecraft/...

Three launches from one company is unusual though.

For personal use I simply need less than $20 of tokens, even at API rates. If they (Anthropic or OpenAI) offered a $5/month plan that gave you ~$50 of credit I would probably sign up.

Personally, it takes me longer to write the specifications than it takes the model to implement them (and it takes me much longer to review the resulting code, although maybe that makes me old-fashioned). Consequently I do not have enough tasks to run more than one agent at a time.

Yeah, I'm thinking the nigh-unreadable AI-speak we get these days makes a lot more sense if this is what they're training on. Or maybe the author has translated the prompts from another language?

My reaction precisely when I first heard the specs for this thing. Espressif works in mysterious ways.

2412 x 2288 per eye (and horizontal FoV is around 70 degrees). Not sure it's really enough for monitor replacement, but certainly an upgrade over Xreal's offerings.

I think they're calling them "VR" because they use camera pass-through for AR, whereas all their other AR products are see-through. (I think this is a reasonable place to draw the line - pass-through AR kind of sucks in my experience. Although maybe a third category would be appropriate.)

They've been using that branding since last June (with the reorg into "Meta Superintelligence Labs"), for better or worse.

Rumor is they are going to do a Quest 4 (late next year).

I agree that these seem like a stopgap short of the thing everyone wants - Vision Pro specs (ahaha) in a pair of regular glasses.

Personally, as a glasses-wearer, I'm not quite convinced it's the right target though - even my 20 gram glasses are uncomfortable to wear all day and I take them off whenever they're not needed. I'd rather have a ski-goggle device (similarly light, but with the weight more evenly distributed, and still with optical see-through) with fewer performance compromises. Of course that wouldn't let the manufacturer dominate "the next form of personal computing" or whatever.

I don't know if there's an overall limit, but their regular tunnels have a limit of 100 MB per request which breaks stuff like Immich.

I get the impression that Nvidia employees don't care too much - I started seeing fully AI-written "documentation" on some of their smaller projects more than a year ago (i.e., before it was even slightly a good idea).

People definitely like teepees and yurts (and thatched roofs, dry stone walls, log cabins, etc.), it's just that at some point the practicality gap becomes too wide to contemplate.

But this is a reasonable point to raise. Although both would serve their purpose a concrete viaduct is much cheaper to build than a masonry one, to the point that it may be difficult to justify the latter no matter how strong the public preference is for it.

Agreed; not writing your own prose is lazy and disrespectful. If you expect/hope that humans will read something, you should demonstrate that it is important to you by spending your own time on it, and you should respect their time by being as clear and eloquent as possible (which Claude et al. are decidedly not, for now anyway).

Yep, across a smaller fov too (100 degree horizontal).
