Ah so it might have been around for a long time and I just didn’t realize it

Do we think it’s holding its hands up or are those ears? I vote hands because that makes it look excited.

You won’t find a single app icon in this world that everyone agrees with and that’s totally fine. It’s okay to have different opinions, and in Mlem there’s enough icons to choose from.

You had to switch to it? For me it was there the moment I updated. Maybe because I didn’t have another alternative one selected.

That makes a lot of sense. So they’re not really afraid of the choice as much as they are of a different default.

For anyone just reading the headline, it’s already been deleted:

[…] a now-deleted update to the electric carmaker's terms of service said the firm could sue customers for $50,000 or more if they resell during the first year of ownership without first getting written permission from Tesla. The provision seemed designed to deter scalping for a car expected to be available only in limited quantities after CEO Elon Musk's statement that Tesla "dug our own grave with the Cybertruck."

I’m really curious, I can’t imagine many people choosing something other than google, but apparently google thinks enough people would to make it worth giving up almost 40% of their entire revenue.

Seems to me they’re mostly paying for the data they’re getting out of this, I can imagine they’d be making more money without the deal. Maybe slightly fewer users, but 40% more revenue.

Not sure if you meant general AI or something else, that’s probably going to be a huge step if we ever get there. But the LLMs we currently have are already quite impactful even with their limitations. I don’t think anyone can deny that - and we’re clearly just at the beginning of this.

Why would you want to reply to spam?

Not sure if it makes a performance difference, but the native version has app icons to switch, haptics inside the app, and you can tap the status bar to scroll to the top. There’s also a watch app. Don’t know if there are other differences.

Maybe the TestFlight version is more recent.

I can’t imagine this replacing a/my smartphone right now, but it’s interesting to have a different form factor for an AI-first device.

I’m curious if it’s a fit for older people, since the interface is mostly/entirely voice.

I liked 3D Touch, but I’m really glad we moved on from a physical home button. For one things like the app switcher feel so much faster and more fluent with the swiping. And for another I always feared the home button would break, no matter how well built.

I’m pretty sure they removed it even on the devices that had it. The watch definitely lost it. But I might be misremembering.

I dearly miss the precision video scrubbing from iOS 16 and I have no clue why they removed it. It was absolutely amazing and it’s now just replaced by… nothing. I miss it every day.

This has been the best git tutorial I’ve come across so far. Nicely interactive and gamified. https://learngitbranching.js.org/

projecting smartphone humane AI pin marks commercial debut at coperni SS24 show in paris

Just to clarify:

The Pin isn’t always recording or even listening for a wake word, instead requiring you to manually activate it in some way. It has a “Trust Light,” which blinks on whenever the Pin is recording.

Might not make a difference for people as long as it’s pointing at them and could be recording, but you made it sound like it always is. I also don’t find it desirable in any way, especially with that subscription price tag.

I do get the idea of having a different device form factor for an AI device, but I don’t think we’re there yet for what AI can do. Still interesting through.

And what Facebook TV/camera device are you talking about? The Quest 3? Or Ray ban glasses?
