My understanding is that, if confirmed, this demonstrates that AI can find novel solutions. This is a strong counterpoint to generative-AI-is-strictly-limited-to-training-data.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlphaFold ...

we've had AlphaFold for a while. it's not a novel that we have ML solutions that can find, erm, novel solutions.

however, by and large, most LLMs as typically used by most individuals aren't solving novel problems. and in those scenarios, we often end up with regurgitated/most common/lowest common denominator outputs... it's a probability distribution thing.


Put in the hands of great mathematicians, pencil and paper proved able to write proofs of open problems.

Yeah. Great mathematicians were able to upgrade a "yan, tan, tethera" number system using pen and paper (or stylus and clay).

Anyone who understands reinforcement learning already knows that's not the case.


It's almost like it is based on the training data and regimen that is largely the same between versions.

I really enjoyed fantasy part of many small farmers. It felt rustic. However based on my understanding the modern world is moving towards megacorps and economies of scale.

Has moved.

Why is that?

You honestly don't know of Moritz Hardt?

Why so snarky? I also didn't know who he was:

I'm a director at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems. Prior to joining the institute, I was Associate Professor for Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Berkeley. My research contributes to the scientific foundations of machine learning and algorithmic decision making with a focus on social questions.[0]

Also simply knowing of him doesn't answer the question.

sry just a joke man

xkcd 1053, my friend.

> it doesn't dramatically reduce screen brightness or image quality.

AFAIK it significantly decreases the brightness. Jerry Rig Everything demonstrates this here - https://youtu.be/TRW4W7KkJXs?t=32


significantly and dramatically are two different things. I was sceptic when buying it but have no problem using the display with privacy screen on, and dont see that much difference in brightness, even in direct sunlight, fwiw.

Bonus with it on you can stretch your battery life, only half the pixels actually active saves quite some battery, who knew!


You’re paying more for less brightness.

Only if you turn it on for the whole screen at all times, and you are still getting a privacy screen out of it so its not a loss with no benefits.


Servicing is not done by Apple, it's 3rd party contractors. They have a rubric of possible issues from Apple and their profit margins are thin. I suspect contacting Apple support about Apple support issues would have resulted in a swift replacement of the item.


Will need to wait for real benchmarks, but based on OpenAI marketing Instant is their latency optimized offering. For voice interface, you don't actually need high tok/s because speech is slow, time to first token matters much more.


Apple seems to be pushing for accessibility and volume. Cheaper phones, mac minis, and entry point mac that will be introduced on Wednesday.


Tbh, feels like the market is pushing for that and Apple is responding.


Exceptionalism says we have best of everything, including idiots.
