I think we will all now witness that LeCun is just an impostor with an unbelievably overblown ego.

I predict that he will burn through the investment in not time (most of it will probably trickle into regulator pockets) and he will not have anything to show for in the end.

I'm afraid that ship has long sailed. The humans left on Twitter are all just copy pasting AI slop now...

Yea, because he was dying.

100% this. I used to be a "digital native". I guess I have migrated away from my native lands and now I am a boring old local again.

I am German and the three times I took an ICE from Cologne to Berlin and then back, EACH TIME I boarded at a wrong wagon. The entire system, their app, the signages at the tracks... it is all complete and utter dogshit.

I recently bought a XXL set for my almost 2yr old daughter... I don't get the hype. I think that the magnets are just not strong enough, so the structures that I was able to build are always super weak and would collapse if you just look at them from a funny angle...

Usual PSA: Don't wait for a cure for Alzheimers. Work towards not getting it in the first place. Alzheimers is "brain diabetes". You get it from consuming sugars and carbs. It can be easily avoided.

You might also want to look into Stagewright.

Wow. Very cool to see one of Joan's posts here on HN. I have discovered his videos on Youtube half a year ago and every single time I think to myself "wow, what a banger". No idea if he uses AI to craft his scripts, but every single time I feel like he brings his arguments across extremely eloquently. Such a joy to listen to.

And of course one of the top comments is... shitting on the way this is written. HN never changes.

Is the UX even the issue with these competitors? The cost for bandwidth and storage and having fast enough servers is the real issue here.

I wonder how did we get to this scientific age of magic and wonder and technology when people had nothing but pen & paper. Hell, for 10,000 years before that, we didn't even have pen & paper. Where did all those amazing thoughts go??

Also, I'm counting the days until the battery in one of those things bulges while someone is on an airplane... again...

Classic Vitalik logic. A giant mountain of word salad and he still somehow magically fails to name the fifth and most important group: Scammers.

It is very plainly visible that society has not been benefited much from the public service of many of those people. In fact, it has declined dramatically.

Ultimately, someone needs to build a 100% decentralized and automated version of it. Something like Nostr.

Do we have enough grapevines to replace all plastic in the world? If we need to destroy ecosystems to plant more grapevines, forget about it.

This sounds bogus.

What if something else causes negative thinking and then in the long run cognitive decline...

...like... eating excessive amounts of carbs and seed oils while also having a sedentary lifestyle and no exposure to the sun.

The problem is, these companies invest billions to find ways to lock you in, often using illegal ways abusing their monopolies.

"don't like it? buy the competition!" is easier said than done.

This is exactly what has worked for me as well. Before this, the iPad was rotting in a corner for years, because the phone was just always available and I had consumed everything on the phone already, obliterating the need for the iPad.

Time consider your party affiliation then.

If you want cloud hosting and fully E2E encrypted by a team that deeply cares about privacy and security, try Ente. They also have Google Authenticator alternative called Ente Auth.

Uh... why don't they put the cameras... into the car (it works for human drivers)???

After their recent change in tune to retain data for longer and to train on our data, I deleted my account.

Try to do that. There is no easy way to delete your account. You need to reach out to their support via email. Incredibly obnoxious dark pattern. I hate OpenAI, but everything with Anthropic also smells fishy.

We need more and better players. I hope that XAi will give them all some good competition, but I have my doubts.

Wow. Thank you for sharing this. I have never been to the US (Germany, Singapore)... this sounds just completely and utterly bonkers to me.

Not sure I have a satisfying answer. I didn't do too much research and did not compare all available options. Isn't Immich self-hosted? That rules it out for me, can't be bothered to run my own servers, I just want to pay a fair amount of money and get peace of mind in return.

Great effort! For photos I can highly recommend Ente. Fully E2E encrypted. Works on all systems, syncs reliably, has great on-device AI stuff to build a vector database of your images, has very good UI/UX and is reasonably priced. Once I had all my 20k+ photos uploaded into Ente, I was finally able to delete all my photos from iCloud and cancel my iCloud subscription.

Isn't that totally normal?

When I have to touch Android or Windows, I feel absolutely awful because I am used to MacOS and iOS.

Likewise, Android and Windows users will feel awful when having to use MacOS and iOS.

It's simply a matter of habit and experience.

Having used Windows and Android for 10+ years before switching to the Apple ecosystem, I can say with confidence though that MacOS is not weird at all. It makes far more sense than the insanity that is Windows/Android.

ooph. wouldn't the dust particles go through a whole lot of other bodily defense mechanisms before they reach actual lung cells?

Once the cars are fully self-driving, this is exactly what will happen... just wait and see..

Holy shit, my wife is working for a mega corp and is currently experiencing EXACTLY this.

This is the reason why I will never join a company that has more than 100 employees. Once they get big, they all turn into cancer.

I'm working on something like this for my logseq notes as well.

My biggest question right now is: How much text should I turn into one embedding?

Every sentence?

A whole block of sentences that belong to one entire page in my notes app?
