It's not the same thing but it have advantages Jev don't have like ... being local.

From what I’ve learned about Jev I feel it’s just a very successful marketing campaign to developers not fully understanding data science (and deep learning). It’s nothing new, been around since 2022? Being local is an extreme advantage lol.

Fast and accurate general purpose classifiers DID NOT EXIST before Jev. You could either use an LLM to get a slow and accurate general purpose classifier, or you could use a smaller model to get a fast and inaccurate general purpose classifier, or you could fine tune your own model that would be both fast and accurate, but it wouldn't be general purpose.

But we still don't have a fast and accurate classifier.

All we have is a company that claims to have created one, with no proof.


I've seen enough proof to convince myself, but unfortunately I don't have enough to convince you. Maybe others will publish proper evals.

> Apple’s always on watch has a declared 15 second buffer for live audio, and a worse scenario of summarizing your conversations for later

Even if you trust them, maybe as an user you can be ok with that. As a non-user who will talk with people wearing Apple Watches, I disagree being recorded and my conversations with the watch owner summarized.

Where do I disagree for that ?


With the person wearing the watch. It’s no different to someone walking around with a lapel mic

Where I live it’s forbidden so I’m pretty confident that nobody is doing it, at least unintentionally.

Where could I disagree with all my family members sending their dna to 23andme?

I’m not at ease in an airplane. I rarely fly but i actually like it, but I’m really anxious.

What helps me is always taking a seat near the wings. First that’s where the plane moves the less. And moreover, it’s pretty reassuring watching them supporting the plane in their great stability, they always move way slower than the cabin.


Plus you can alert the crew if something's off before take off (eg. loose/missing screws/panels). A forner colleague of mine did that, and got to see the entire maintenance crew come out for an impromptu RCA and incident response.

Maybe because all the AI actors, probably including Hugging Face, want to push the narrative that AI companies aren’t responsible for what their agents are doing.

I think our societies will have to settle on this.


I think that's too high minded.

They, like all capitalists, want to push the line "We have money, will make money, and thus, like all money makers, shouldn't be punished"


You have to distinguish the fake color e-ink that are used in mass consumer products which are actually black&white e-ink plus an LCD layer and are expensive, and the real color e-ink where each micro capsule embeds 3 to 5 different inks of different colors.

The latest are pretty complex devices, very slow to refresh (hence why they are not used in your e-reader) and also very expensive. But the rendering is way much nicer because it’s real ink that is used to render the colors.


They are used in book readers. Amazon Kindle Colorsoft, for example. Or I have android phone with such screen (though, not latest generation).

Rather opposite: I never seen consumer products with two-layer displays.


Nope, that's my point, on your kindle, the screen is a Kaleido 3, which is a black&white+lcd layer: https://www.reddit.com/r/eink/comments/1i8e26x/seriously_how...

Vs Spectra (the expensive screen): https://www.eink.com/upload/2023_11_14/3_20231114082849vy2as...


I don't see LCD layer here. Passive color filters, B/W capsules (which reflects or doesn't reflect incoming light, depends on orientation), TFT (thin layer transistors, not LCD — liquid crystal display!) as control to orient capsules.

Yes, it is not 4 color capsules as in Spectra, but where is LCD?

LCD what is caught my attention (and surprise) in your commentary.

But now I see difference, thank you.


=COPILOT("Sum up all the shit in this shit and convert it to Yens, also calculate the taxes and add 0.5 for the fees");

It was an excel function that would never be deterministic, I bright idea.


fwiw, I’m already playing windows games on my Retroid (Android ARM Snapdragon) console and it’s already really good at least compatibility wise.

I mean, you can comfortably play GTAV on this thing and it’s powered by a smartphone processor.

Your dreams are going to become true.


I use my RP6 (and RP5 previously) quite a bit. Its amazing what those devices can do nowadays.

Yes of course, the doctor is “free” to choose between the treatment that the patient will be able to afford and the one the patient will not.

Sorry guys but you are really living in a shithole country.


Stargate SG-1 was maybe optimistic sci-fi.

Actually it was settled in the present but it was full of good human vibes and human values.

It had an incredible vibe of “humanity is good and humanity will stand against anything bad”. It was really naive in how it described the human nature but I’m sure it was deliberate.

And also it was fun.


I agree, but even they touched on how delicate our human systems were. Not sure which season, but in one of the later ones there was a major change because a new president was elected and put different people in charge that had a very different view of how the stargate should be managed and not in a good way. Felt prescient viewed from today.

Not dissimilar from how the very worst and most dangerous villains in the star trek universe were always star fleet admirals.


That was 20 years ago (1997–2006) (sorry), Eureka was a little more recent and very optimistic (2006 - 2012), the new star treks are recent but they have lost their optimism, I'm not really sure what they are.

Discovery went dark, true (sometimes literally) but I've heard the new one is positive?

And Lower Decks was absolute blast with so much Star Trek energy in it, and it was pretty optimistic too.


Strange New World feels like TOS. Picard was amazing for season 3 (and, lord knows, most ST gets better in the later seasons).

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is fun and optimistic and knows what it is, but you're right about Picard and Discovery. Very confused shows with no good self-identity and Picard especially posits a dystopian future and dystopian responses to it which is a huge letdown for a Trek show.
