It does not work with long form conversations like podcasts.

"I was unable to retrieve the transcript for this video due to its large size."

After seeing some videos of faces and hands that were blown off, it's clear that the tiny batteries could not have caused explosions like this.

Full tweet:

"We’re starting to roll out advanced Voice Mode to a small group of ChatGPT Plus users. Advanced Voice Mode offers more natural, real-time conversations, allows you to interrupt anytime, and senses and responds to your emotions.

Users in this alpha will receive an email with instructions and a message in their mobile app. We'll continue to add more people on a rolling basis and plan for everyone on Plus to have access in the fall. As previously mentioned, video and screen sharing capabilities will launch at a later date.

Since we first demoed advanced Voice Mode, we’ve been working to reinforce the safety and quality of voice conversations as we prepare to bring this frontier technology to millions of people.

We tested GPT-4o's voice capabilities with 100+ external red teamers across 45 languages. To protect people's privacy, we've trained the model to only speak in the four preset voices, and we built systems to block outputs that differ from those voices. We've also implemented guardrails to block requests for violent or copyrighted content.

Learnings from this alpha will help us make the Advanced Voice experience safer and more enjoyable for everyone. We plan to share a detailed report on GPT-4o’s capabilities, limitations, and safety evaluations in early August."

As a child, for a few years I had a recurring nightmare with multiple false awakenings, sometimes five or six until I would wake up for real.

I would wake up in bed, get up and at a specific point, an overwhelming feeling of impending doom would overcome me. Then at the peak of this emotion, a monster would grab me by my ankles and violently drag me back up the stairs and into bed. I would then wake up and repeat the process.

Sometimes, I was not sure anymore if I landed in reality or if this existence will turn into horror again.

Was the stain gate the one where you could remove the coating with lots of vinegar and scrubbing?

Lots of glue involved, but it was relatively "easy" to replace the battery in a 2019 Macbook Pro. I would take a swappable battery with a thicker case in an heartbeat though.

The press release didn't mention it at all. This figure shows three possibilities: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41928-024-01174-4/figures/4

* Augmented touch perception via dual-ECG sensing with person-i wearing bioelectronic fibre arrays and person-ii without. * A breathable skin-gated OECT on a fingertip * Dual-modal sensing for augmented perception of mist pulses with acidic, alkaline and neutral compositions distinguished through colorimetric and electrical readouts.

That is amazing.

Awesome.

I have been using calibre-web for many years, which (unlike Calibre) has a decent look and all the functionality I need.
