Thanks for sharing, search revenue is growing strong. It's mind blowing that they earn ~180m per day from people searching internet.

They should hold Steve Jobs style presentations at this point.

If models are good, they should develop their own chips/memory.

Their infra is under constant DDoS + they provide a lot of free stuff for open source projects. There's also a constant churn of dependencies, patches, abandoned libraries, etc. We should give them some appreciation, dealing with this stuff is hard.

What a paradox. Somehow anthropic don't like distillation and decompiling and ban all who try instantly.

I assume you can reverse engineer the device API and release the compatible free app with apple health sync (and other connectors).

What if their model is sustainable only when new people keep buying? Once all who would buy bought, they can't survive on existing customer base.

Why would someone else maintain the adapter? Would they be charging for maintenance (or selling data / network) as well? What company should give their business to somebody else?

I assume writing and maintaining apps across all stack of devices is real work that someone has to do full time with a decent level of quality. Unfortunately, you can't just ship software and call it done, even without adding features, new devices are getting released, new OS versions are getting released, new security updates are getting released, server infra has to be maintained and patched.

I feel that all this work isn't getting appreciated and many think that this should be offloaded to somebody else to be done for free. They already offer a free app with free CSV export.

Also, they just might have taken on too much scope and paying for all that scope isn't sustainable from hardware sales alone, unless people continue to buy, but at some point all who would buy will have their devices and scope can't be covered anymore.

Subscription isn't required to use the device.

I honestly don't have anything against them moving apple sync behind the paywall. It's really hard to justify doing any kind of ongoing maintenance and rnd from one-time sales. If they ship good durable things, there might not be enough people willing to buy that stuff, they're also forced to constantly find new customers.

In the video, they showed examples of ChatGPT making interactive tutorials on how to fold origami, how to arrange colours/interior and how to assemble a bike.

Supposedly, people were struggling to follow written manuals and they needed an interactive explanations.

I'm not a mathematician and I would certainly love having a tool that would do ELI5 on some complex stuff, but I'm really worrying about using this too often and outsourcing my ability to do stuff to some mega corp.

Claude, calculate salaries, make no mistakes. (they probably forgot the last part)

I wonder if company used some kind of automation that decided it needs all CPRs for whatever it was doing.

I definately see value in getting tailored plausalbe answers without applying much effort, except effort, struggle and experimentation are required for learning and understanding.

I found that I can't really trust this knowledge becuase I skipped the source and didn't conclude it myself. Like how I can learn anything when being spoon fed with conclusions and summaries without accessing the source?
