If you don’t mind the (slight but nonetheless present) quality loss. Not quite worth it to me since I can always copy large videos off my phone to free up space.

The company plans to launch a more powerful one-watt version later this year, with uses ranging from consumer electronics to drones capable of flying continuously without recharging.

The idea of using this for a drone is laughable. Their coin-size battery produces 100 uW of power, so a small drone drawing a couple dozen watts would need to somehow carry hundreds of thousands of these batteries. Even if they’re only a gram each, that’s still hundreds of kilograms of weight.

Use in consumer electronics is also a terrible idea. Ionization smoke detectors are already regulated due to their americium content; imagine how hard it would be to get regulatory approval for something 100,000 times more radioactive.

Even so I think it would be totally reasonable for them to block web scrapers, as they provide better ways to download all their data.

Using π = 4 is only a 27% safety margin, better go for π = 10 just to be safe.

Starting a conspiracy theory would be an amazing accomplishment for me.

It’s not you, that’s the government trying to kill you because you know too much about Logsday!

Got the same image, when it loads fully it looks like this: https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/04e6fc6f-ef89-4611-8004-362775605298.png

Guess that’s one way to bypass the spam filters…

Fair enough, well now you’ve got a whole new key to try out!

How do you use a keyboard for any significant amount of time without noticing there are two shift keys? (No offense intended, that’s just kinda crazy to me).

W, I might not be able to say anything useful but at least I can go forward!

Slip a bowl of pasta through the closet door every day.

Sell it to the merpeople, they’ll be happy to have a proper house for once!

Quantum entangled particles can’t influence each other; they just allow you to infer information about one particle by observing the other. It’s like if you randomly put a red and a blue ball in two different boxes without looking, then moved them far apart. Opening one box and seeing a red ball instantly tells you the other box has a blue ball, no matter the distance, but no information has been transmitted faster than the speed of light (because the boxes can only move slower than light).

True, my estimate for tokens may have been a bit low. Assuming a 7 hour school day where someone talks at 5 tokens/sec you’d encounter about 120k tokens. You’re off by 3 orders of magnitude on your energy consumption though; 1 watt-hour is 0.86 food Calories (kcal).

Around a year ago I bet a friend $100 we won’t have AGI by 2029, and I’d do the same today. LLMs are nothing more than fancy predictive text and are incapable of thinking or reasoning. We burn through immense amounts of compute and terabytes of data to train them, then stick them together in a convoluted mess, only to end up with something that’s still dumber than the average human. In comparison humans are “trained” with maybe ten thousand “tokens” and ten megajoules of energy a day for a decade or two, and take only a couple dozen watts for even the most complex thinking.

That is not a good idea for a beginner.

I liked generative AI more when it was just a funny novelty and not being advertised to everyone under the false pretenses of being smart and useful. Its architecture is incompatible with actual intelligence, and anyone who thinks otherwise is just fooling themselves. (It does make an alright autocomplete though).

Just so you know, your name’s visible in the “Gemini crashes” image.
