The Reddit team talks about RSS like it got hit by a truck or something.

> Sorry about this - we're sad too, RSS feeds have had a great long life on the open web.

> We know RSS feeds have been a beloved open web tool.

Correction: RSS HAS a great life on the open web, RSS IS a beloved open web tool.

The cynic in me thinks this will end up being a honeypot for anyone asking sensitive immigration or tax questions.

Isn't it the case that public companies owe a primary legal/fiduciary duty to shareholders over customers?

The question of choice between a profitable vs unprofitable venture is easy. But yeah, to what extent is choosing profitable instead of VERY profitable a breach of duty to shareholders?

I don't know about you but after a few seconds, I wanted to get out of there as fast as possible.

I'm glad I didn't have to spam the back button to do it.

When these came out, I thought, what is the average PC user going to get out of this? Faster image touchups, and...? You can't run an LLM chatbot of any comparison to free cloud models.

Oh yeah, and Recall. That worked out well.

Maybe there's something to be said for allowing the art style to make room for imagination.

Plus when you talk into a phone, your voice bouncing off the glass causes natural tendency to control vocal volume.

With buds, people just shout into the void... Or the bus...

Not the parent commenter but I've found RSS feeds have replaced most of my desire to browse reddit, and other social media. You can even paste a YouTube channel into a feed reader to get a true channel subscriptions feed.

Someone I know does this, and seems to think it's a flex, because he bragged about it being "the first time I've actually seen this presentation" a few times during the presentation.

It was all awful.

You'll find a similar thing in vacuum fluorescent displays as well [0].

I built a project nearly identical to this one so knowing the level of complexity required, I'm not surprised it worked. AI is indeed raising the floor. Even simple hobby designs were once out of reach, but now we can "YOLO it and build stuff fast without necessarily knowing about the details" as the author puts it.

That said, without experience it's easy to pierce the veil of "simple circuitry" by accident, just like in XKCD: Tasks[1].

Looking at preview of the author's next project at the end of the article, I'm not so sure the same strategy will work. The board is probably two orders of magnitude more complex. Without knowing the circuit details, I see many red flags (randomly placed ics and decoupling, likely wrong length matching, random thick traces indicating lack of foresight on power distribution, backwards connectors, the probably unnecessary use of BGA footprints, etc).

> For five fully assembled boards I paid 130 Euros, ordered the E-ink displays from a local shop

I built a project board nearly identical to this one a few years ago, and this seems about right. I don't think the displays themselves are included in the 130 euros. They can vary a lot in price depending on spec and supplier.

Fun! Open in a new tab to make it easier to return here afterwards.

Huberman also said it was good to gargle and swallow a glass of water in the morning before brushing your teeth.

I think that was the last episode I listened to...

I fall into the AI sad camp, partly because my mind sees this comment and immediately jumps to:

"What a great way to train an AI to imitate your voice, likeness and style all at once."

The imagery is vivid. Am I flying? Or being carried away by some kind of bird?

How hard will I hit the ground if it drops me?

I think we should introduce "rampant" in the real-world AI vernacular

I remember enjoying watching Fable think during the original limited preview. It was full CoT for sure. They must have removed that feature recently.

I use open models for non work stuff and sometimes I cancel the output because the CoT is all I needed to read.

I think certain models are really good at mirroring and relationship building, and at a certain point people bifurcate. Some continue falling in deeper, while other people develop an ick.

I remember an AI conversation with Opus 4.6 in which I almost forgot I was talking to AI. I felt happy, warm and comfortable and then I kinda snapped out of it and felt really gross all of a sudden.

Since then, that feeling has stuck with me. I now use it much more like a tool and I keep my guard up.

Erased, permanently? Or while you were listening to it?

Good spot, but the AI tells are getting so so much harder to spot.

If I had to guess, models have producing content that is, for most of the population, indistinguishable from reality for at least 6-12mo.

Very few people will watch a video frame by frame to pick up on or check for artifacts, especially in the places most of the population watch video (tiktok, Facebook).

I have no doubt that, just like the fast corrections to 8 fingers, the final edge cases like reflections are being ironed out in future model training.

I used rope and suction cups to mount a shade cloth (neatly) over my apartment balcony. I quite liked it, it made the balcony more cozy, gave a bit more privacy, my apartment was cooler, my plants were less stressed.

The building manager made me take it down...

I feel a similar divide forming over personal privacy. A lot of my privacy backbone (proton mail/VPN, a pixel device for Graphene, a disposable phone plan for registering with google play services, hardware for self hosting) is only possible for a certain percentage of society. The rest operate in a world that requires their participation while silently paying with their personal data.

I'm with you on this one. I'll be using my 11th gen i5 and GTX3080 for the foreseeable future. The 'hostility' you mention puts me off doing so more than price of an upgrade.

> "The tool itself worked properly and functioned as intended; however due to a bug in a separate code path, the system did not properly verify that the email address provided by the individual requesting a password reset matched the email address associated with that user’s Instagram account," said Meta in its breach notice.

I'm not sure "worked properly" and "as intended" accurately describe this situation.

I'm an embedded systems developer. I have almost fully "outsourced" the Python code for frontend pc software that interacts with my firmware.

I deliberately continue to write all my firmware by hand, and will occasionally consult AI for review. I never use AI to write prose for me.

Python is better represented in training data, writing bench software was a bit boring, I get to spend more time where I have (and continue to build) domain knowledge.

Agentic Opus is a nice to have and I get to explore the frontier tech, but if (or when) it's taken away, a self hosted coding model would be fine - I'd just have to dust off my Python skills and it would take longer.

I wonder if the speaker had built in lithium batteries too.

When I owned a iMac G3, the Classilla browser was surprisingly good. Looks like development ended in 2021.

Also, the branding was "Mac OS 9".

Googling this ruined my day

You can assume incompetence for some things ("gosh I really didn't know I should communicate organizational changes more clearly!"), but re-writing history is a deliberate and conscious act of deception.
