If that Siri orb fails to respond after this release, I'm done with Apple.

People want local AI, but only if UX is good. Tooling/harness quality may matter as much as model quality.

I think the future will probably be a hybrid of:

1. local AI for simple, private, everyday tasks

2. online AI for very hard or long tasks

Does it improve things or break things?

This is a misleading post, of course they can/will. Elon's comment is referencing a specific a memory bandwidth limitation of HW3 (1/8 memory). The solution is to upgrade to > HW4 as a retrofit.

Disney seems played out. Still feels early for YouTube.

I think zooming is effective when it's used in isolation for discrete things. It does add a sense of delight, but there is a functional usefulness of this that I'm trying to wrap my head around.. perhaps a transition effect for an immersive demo, etc.. nice work.

> This is investigative journalism with no bosses, no advertisers, no filters.. just the raw truth about power and those it crushes.

Hard to take this statement serious when all the headlines in this substack echo leftwing bias. At least be intellectually honest about your intent.

They're being illogical. Elon doesn't get paid unless the company executes, which he's already succeeded in his prior pay package. Pure irrational thinking. And much of the comments on this post reflect similar idiocy.

This letter sounds like it's written by an activist, not an investor.

> I became my father’s assistant, carrying props, rehearsing patter, acting as the straight man. But I was also his skeptic. If a trick fooled me, I made it my job to discover how. When he succeeded, I applauded; when I found the secret, I felt the satisfaction of uncovering a law of nature.

I find this beautiful

> My father taught me to vanish before I learned to appear. Science taught me to appear without vanishing — to stand by evidence, to let truth emerge even when it contradicted the spectacle.

Thanks for sharing / working on tracklab. Would be cool to see VidFormer implemented.

great project. Love the simplicity and autodetection. Base64 decode would be a nice mode to add.

This is a fantastic way to lock down an app for kids.
