HDMI Ethernet was included in the spec 15 years ago and not a single consumer device (that I am aware of) ever implemented it.
Idk why this is so often citied in Smart TV boogeyman arguments.

Idk why this is so often citied in Smart TV boogeyman arguments.
To get retrospectively nerdy, it felt like switching from a raw text based lookup system to a knowledge graph / vector search.
Instead of accessing memories / concepts at a raw text level, I was pulling up lots of metadata and making links to these fusiform concepts that it was invoking. I would then try to find the words to describe what the links were conveying.
The phenomena you’re describing sounds similar to how I experience ADHD in conversation.
I trialed for a month it as an off-label migraine preventative on recommendation from my neurologist.
Topamax can dampen neuronal activity in the language area of the brain for some people.
It was a terrifying experience, but it was also a valuable one as it changed the way I view intelligence.
About 10 days in, my writing and speech skills had devolved to that of a primary school aged child. I tried to type a text message and struggled to come up with simple words like “and”. My speech slowed down considerably.
The terrifying thing was that my internal world was still as complex and meaningful as it was before. All of the emotions I felt were real and legitimate. My cognition outside of language was intact, I could do math just fine and conceptualize and abstract problems.
In spite of this, I was unable to convey what I was feeling and thinking to the outside world. It felt like I was trapped inside my own body.
After recovering, my intuitive understanding of the link between language and intelligence was changed forever.

My brain's initial conception of the concepts was earth-relative, so I mapped it as:
Sol = big, it's the sun Luna = medium, in-between sun and earth, space Terra = small, terrestrial
It's kind of hard to prove a negative, so I'll reverse the question:
Show me a source / proof that says that a single retail device ever implemented HDMI HEC.
Loved the extra screen real estate of the 30" ACD and it's a beautifully designed product that I enjoyed having on my desk.
In its last year or two the backlight wear started to result in colors to become uneven. Blues were less vibrant and reds had tint issues.
Was also difficult to justify the power draw, it had a 150w power supply.
However, I don't see an option for AWS Bedrock API in the sign up form, is it planned to make this available to those using Bedrock API to access Claude models?
ChatGPT is better at:
A) Interpreting what I'm asking it for me needing to provide additional explicit context.
B) Formatting answers in a way that are easily digestible.
I recently added the following to my custom instructions to get the best of both worlds:
# Modes
When the user enters the following strings you should follow the following mode instructions:
1. "xz": Use the web tool as needed when developing your answer.
2. "xx": Exclusively use your own knowledge instead of searching the internet.
By default use mode "xz". The user can switch between modes during a chat session. Stay with the current mode until the user explicitly switches modes.
If you want to install your $200,000 143” TV yourself here’s a video: https://youtu.be/oSpX2aZDPng
Supposedly it fires off multiple parallel thinking chains and then essentially debates with itself to net a final answer.
I don't know if it's because of context clogging or that the model can't tell what's a high quality source from garbage.
I've defaulted to web search off and turn it on via the tools menu as needed.
It’s the Built for simple campus navigation video.
I’d recommend converting it to SDR.
Pre-washing dishes degrades the performance of the dishwasher. This is due to the use of enzymes in modern detergent formulations.
I’ve sent dozens of people the Technology Connections video on this topic to rave reviews: https://youtu.be/jHP942Livy0
They use RF/BT for all other commands, as long as the remote is paired to a TV.
Note: When the remote is not paired with a TV it will also send the basic commands over IR.
Apple Maps drives me nuts—it will only return search results if you include the hyphen in the four digit street address ie: "36-08 33rd St" vs "3608 33rd St". Google will hit on either query.
The hyphen is a part of the "official" address. However, USPS has declared it unnecessary, there's no advantage to using it unless you're navigating by analog map, and it's a PITA to type on a mobile keyboard.
So if anyone on Apple Maps team is here: please fix this. I filled a apple.com/feedback ticket on this years ago.
For anyone interested in the peculiar history of Queens addresses—they convey a cross street and the number of the house ascending going northward.
For example: 36-08 33rd St means that the house is on 33rd St, between 35th and 36th ave, and is house #08 on the block.

That said, Apple Maps is far superior to Google Maps for transit directions, at least in NYC. Google's integration with the MTA is seriously lacking—their directions often do not reflect scheduled changes in routes, let alone real-time issues. That said, Google Maps is superior with POI search and address decoding.
