Funny. He foreshadowed this in a recent interview. Saying that he may fall out of touch with evolving approaches and if any of the frontier labs would have him, he’d be interested.

Ha, same. I absolutely love everything about my MacBook Pro.

Could you share more detail on how the AI layer is used? Is it an LLM?

Does anyone know of any HR departments actually using LLMs for scoring, selection, extraction, classification or any real use cases? I'm curious to hear about it and how they are using it.

Oh my gosh, this really brought me back. Haven't played that game in 30 years. What a great use of AI. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Curious on why you think this. Any data points that led you to this?

I rarely bookmark things but just did. For some reason, I never get this data concisely from Google search and always look for it. Nice job.

How many proprietary use cases truly need pre-training or even fine-tuning as opposed to RAG approach? And at what point does it make sense to pre-train/fine tune? Curious.

I still use AirPods for listening but if I’m ever taking a call, I always use EarPods (USB-C). The microphone quality is multiple times better and that’s important to me. Especially for work. It only took me a few times to hear other people will AirPods to be tainted. It just seems unprofessional now because of how bad it sounds.

Mostly same story. Tinkered for hours with Windows 3.1 floppy disks. Reinstalling OS’s all the time because I’d break stuff or I’d just want a fresh slate. I loved pushing the boundaries. In my 30’s I slowed down with the tinkering because of life (kids, work). I thought I lost the ability to tinker. But recently at 42, I bought a MacBook for the sole purpose of tinkering on the couch at the end of the day (basically after being on computer the whole day, I didn’t want to be in office anymore). And slowly, it’s coming back. I’m playing with new things, learning about Neural Networks, learning about Softare Defined Radio, installing tons of random libraries and tools to test that out. It’s coming back. Keep pushing on it and hopefully it returns for you too!

Has anyone tried to use a laptop at night? It’s pretty hard without lit keys. Maybe this one has some super reflective letters so that the screen lights them up.

What expense app are you building? I really want an app that helps me categorize transactions for budgeting purposes. Any recommendations?

ryeguy_24 — Tue, 06 Jan 2026 00:39:26 +0000

My advice is a little different. It’s make the life of your boss insanely easy. Similar in nature to post but slightly different optimization function. Don’t over communicate, communicate just the right amount. Anticipate questions. Don’t create any friction for them and be really helpful. Some of my people will anticipate things and be proactive. I love that and I constantly push to get them promoted.

When I read the publications (the ACM magazine), I swear sometimes the content feels LLM generated. Does anyone else get that impression? In general, I'm not very impressed with the content (I'm used to WIRED, btw).

ryeguy_24 — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 16:29:40 +0000

The way I think of it (might be wrong) but basically a model that has similar sensors to humans (eyes, ears) and has action-oriented outputs with some objective function (a goal to optimize against). I think autopilot is the closest to world models in that they have eyes, they have ability to interact with the world (go different directions) and see the response.

This is a very smart idea. I couldn't turn my Ring Alarm off and I was on the same Wifi connection as the system. In retrospect, it would be quite smart to switch over to local network.

:) I mean, you always by a faster car. My interest is in the ability to enhance the voice quality of the uber-portable AirPods using AI.

Exactly. This was my point. Televisions can upconvert from 720p to 4k. In the same sense, the machine learning model would fill in the waveform and mimic a high powered mic. It can do this at the connection point (iPhone / computer).

ryeguy_24 — Wed, 20 Aug 2025 01:47:48 +0000

Wouldn’t Apple be able to train a model that with AirPods mic recording vs high-quality mic recording to effectively upconvert the poor mic audio into higher quality audio.

I desperately want this feature to improve my audio on work calls all day long. Right now there is an unbelievable difference in quality between AirPods mics and sub 200 dollar wired mics.
