Can I ask what you mean by “useful visual clues”?

I love this size for my 64GB MacBook Pro. I’ve been going back and forth between Mistral Small and Gemma 3. I love how quick this model is.

Assuming that does happen, it won’t be “in a few months”. At best, this is a timeline measured in years if not decades.

I applied at a company called WattTime a few years ago. I didn’t get the job but their work involved some of that. It sounded really interesting.

Sometimes there is a theory, but it’s also possible for a drug to help in other (unrelated) ways as well.

I’ve been using Gemini 1.5 Pro for coding and it’s been great.

It looks like the 14 core M4 Max only allows 36GB of ram. The M4 Pro allows for up to 48GB. It's a bit confusing.

Isn't that the same with Windows? I haven't used Windows as my main OS in a couple years, but all my games were on Steam.

It would be a case against server less if Lambda were the only option. You’re always free to setup your own container which would still give you control over all of that.

Chromecast, Android Auto, Wear OS

I'd personally give Google Colab an honorable mention since it seems like the go to notebook for sharing ML research/projects.

Android? Chromebook?

I think that is till better than ChatGPT's answer which was:

"The fastest recorded time for crossing the English Channel entirely on foot (without the aid of swimming or any other means of transportation) is 16 hours and 34 minutes, achieved by British endurance athlete Damian Hall in August 2021."

So, it seems like it made up an answer instead, which I think is much worse that Googles response.

I really don’t think it would. Google is already number #1 in search. OpenAI is quoting a ~$40 price per month for ChatGPT Pro right? That’s not an insignificant cost for 99% of the population. I don’t see how it makes sense for Google to release something until they actually need to.

As a meat eater, I hope this succeeds because I think doing without the whole factory farming stuff would be pretty cool.

I just wanted to say that I appreciate that the headline included the overall % instead of just having a contextless number.

> I have never been able to afford any VR and so what I think is the bubble of wealthy people who work on VR like FB are just completely disconnected with the general populations reality of not being able to afford the equipment.

Facebook is one of the main companies that is working on making the equipment affordable. It’s too bad that it’s out of your price range buy it looks like Facebook is working on making this a computer replacement. Their tech is cutting edge technology so imo the $350 they charge seems reasonable.

Any plans for integrating with Asana?

That’s exactly what I think of as inbox as well. As a (I’ll admit, ugly) workaround, is there someway to have the default date set sometime in the far future?

I guess I’m just wondering if that’s technically possible since this app does look very nice, aside from your main feedback.

> I remain highly skeptical that there is a common neurological physical pathology in children that is treatable by a steady lifetime use of amphetamines and amphetamine derivatives.

I would argue that even if the effects diminish over time (and it’s true, they do), the benefit of being able to focus in class in those early formative years will pay dividends down the line. Being able to pay attention means you don’t have to play catch-up in math/English/etc later in life. The knowledge you gain in those years doesn’t go away once you stop taking meds.

I’m just speaking as someone who didn’t get diagnosed until I was in my late 20’s. Getting diagnosed and prescribed meds was truly life changing and it’s frustrating thinking back and knowing school didn’t have to be so difficult.
