I think the founders undermined this product with their launch strategy, first showcasing it on a TED talk briefly without fully exposing the hardware, then about a month later in a fashion show? Then now they make this half baked video that immediately goes into talking about the hardware yet the whole selling point of the device is the software Ai capabilities.

People have been eagerly waiting to hear what this secretive startup company has been working all these years, especially after the recent funding rounds. All of this to be disappointed with a half baked v1 and launch video.

All that aside, I think it's brave of them to enter a competitive market and introduce a unique product that could have potential but at this price point, I'll have to pass. Hope future iterations get better and continues to grow.

Congratulations to all the team at Humane who's been working on this over the years, especially those who took the risk of leaving Apple to join a startup.

Having the word "Ai" in the name of a product makes it feel cheap and not premium. People don't care about Ai but more so what it can do for them.

I think once they allow sideloading, folks in the open source community will eventually figure out ways to unlock it for other regions.

that's supposedly what Humane is developing atm and should announce sometime later this year.

I wonder why Meta didn't fork Second Life to use for their 3D world rather than re-invent the wheel and in the end build a bad product.

While manual transmission is fun and has a different feel for driving. From my experience, once your car starts outputting anything above 400hp, having a manual takes away from that power because no matter how good of a driver you might be, you won't beat a dual-clutch automatic shift. It literally happens in milliseconds. By the time you reach for the shifter, you've already wasted power and torque.

I used to think manual was the "only" way for driving fast sport cars until I test drove a Nissan GTR Nismo producing 850hp. The speed between shifts is faster than your eyes can blink (even at low speeds). It's something you can't do justice by describing. The only way to believe it is to try it.

With all that said, I don't quiet see EV manufactures going manual anytime soon since we're still in a transitional period with many challenges and problems to solve before serving a niche market. Plus, most drivers nowadays that are looking to drive a manual car, probably aren't shopping for an EV.

Surely, I can't be the only one who clicked on this thinking it's related to the Electron framework rather than scientific electrons

I'm surprised they're not porting the windows full fledged version over to Mac. I've used the VS for Mac edition and it's lacking too many useful features that come with vscode out of the box (ex. emmet)

This!!!! It's easy to get the wrong idea about these companies and that it must be a dream to be working there but stories like these prove exactly the opposite and realistic view.

Given there is a bunch of software that is still incompatible to run on the new chip, what are all the benchmarks actually testing? I'm not disregarding the fact that the chip is fast but I'm just curious

You think 20 seconds is a big deal? I urge you to try the NYC subway system once. That's all I'm going to say

That line pretty much sums up the experience a lot of devs feel towards Rust

From my experience, I see that usually hackathon events have more male attendees than female. I am sure there might be hackathons where that's not the case but I don't think it would be very inviting for any female to go to an event that's full of the opposite gender. Just imagine if you were one of 5 males in an event of 100 attendees and the rest were females. I think you would be a bit uncomfortable/out of place even though that's not the case.
