The actual video is way more balanced. Why not call it "Humane AI Pin: Pretty Bad" or something? But the worst...? There are waaay shittier products he's reviewed.
MKBHD is a millionaire... why clickbait?
People are like "Honest reviews are important"... yeah, exactly and we're saying the same thing. the concern is about dishonesty for clicks.
All sides in this argument have a kernel of truth that is being exaggerated somewhat.
That being said I trust him, just think he was off on the clickbait-iness.
Also latency seems to be a bit slow, wish it was faster, maybe thats due to traffic now
I wonder if there are custom CSS chrome extensions that allow you to apply a font to all sites not just one.
It's strange that these tests are frequent. Why would people think this is a good use of this model or even a good proxy for other more sophisticated "soft" tasks?
Like to me, a better test is one that tests for memorization of long-tailed information that's scarce on the internet. Reasoning tests like this are so stupid they could be programmed, or you could hook up tools to these LLMs to process them.
Much more interesting use cases for these models exist in the "soft" areas than 'hard', 'digital', 'exact', 'simple' reasoning.
I'd take an analogical over a logical model any day. Write a program for Sally.
Eh... I prefer empty cinemas
No loud babies, no popcorn sounds, no people explaining the plot to people not paying attention, just me and the world of the film. Bliss.
I recommend reading a few Tufte books, make the plots a bit more fancy, tweak button positioning, styling, remove redundant notifications like when you X something and get 10 "removed" etc
Ideally it also exposes that parameter to the user.
Speed comparisons seem moot when quality is sacrificed for me, I'm working with very poor audio quality so transcription quality matters.
I also get the sense that in the early days where data curation matters, research teams need to hire curators that can siphon good from bad examples. E.g. don't train on shit stock footage, pick up a book on fine art photographers, train on that shit + good films and you'll get a pretty good model.
In the future I suspect curation will matter less and less because in the limit you should train on literally the entire internet.
I'm definitely excited for where it might go though. If it ever develops to a sophisticated point, which it most certainly will, we'll be able to do stuff with it that is just impossible by typical production means.
Edit: nvm, seems not from this line "In the coming weeks, we will be opening up the application here, along with an interactive demo that will showcase Audiobox’s capabilities."
Why not both? Make lightyears both Length and Time
But at the same time I just wish there was some other solution to this while keeping it implicit somehow. I would do anything to keep things implicit while solving the backend complexity some other way. The thing I most love about Svelte is the principle / vector of "as little learning as possible", as well as in many cases transfer of learning, makes it much more user friendly, and I wish evolutions of Svelte continued to evolve along that direction, by reducing more and more.
But things like `$something` are a bit strange. Even `$:` is strange. It adds cognitive load. It's not very English-like and in turn not easily parseable. `on:click` is closer to the attractor of user friendliness. I think all programming languages and frameworks should try to approach English or Python, to allow for maximum "transfer of learning" so things just feel like they flow "without thought". Taking inspiration from UI/UX... things should be as close as possible to 'understanding at a glance'
The gold standard would be to approach something like this level of intuitiveness in the future as crazy as it may seem: https://twitter.com/brianjoseff/status/1617556877218570241 https://twitter.com/mathemagic1an/status/1700232760756207956...
I have many ideas on how, but it would no longer be a programming language.
The drug supposedly helped delay the doctor's cancer and extend his lifespan until he stopped taking it, then it came back "with a vengeance" and he passed away. He wanted to stop taking it to verify whether it was actually working or not.
I wonder if it might help this person? He might have to be on it for life though.
Don't take my word for it though, this is FAR from my field of expertise.
