Side note but, man, I hate it when write ups like this refer to events in relative terms without including a published date...

> Last month [...]

> At the same time [...]

> That was over 6 months ago [...]

From when?!? What good is a relative timeline of events and your "current" thinking without a timestamp?

Digging though the source, it looks like this is from a few days ago.. "created_at":"2024-02-14T01:45:45.254Z"

Guarding against people doing shit that goes against common sense -- as well as Apple's "very explicit" warnings -- while using a third party battery that maybe might somehow malfunction, is an annoying reason for them to make a decision that costs me extra money.


Wow that's actually terrifying! The best part is while watching their cool video showcasing how terrifying it was, the WSJ exemplified why in part by jamming an ad right in there when I tried to skip ahead. Hope a full screen ad never blocks the view of someone skiing, it might end badly.



OK I am a snob, but wearing VisionPro while on the mountain skiing -- that's just plain wrong.

What are they thinking?


Struggling to see what’s so wrong about it. I can imagine a future where AR goggles are worn by most everyone regardless of the activity.


The AVP is not AR though. Regardless of passthrough and their "Spatial Computing" marketing. It's a VR headset that will black out, and not stop "augmenting", the moment the battery get's disconnected. If you're skiing that might very well be the difference between hitting a tree (or worse, another person) and avoiding it.


I pushed it on the subject and, to paraphrase, it claims to be similar to an LLM (in that it's trained on a large corpus and uses statistical models to determine which tokens to respond with) but that, unlike an LLM, it uses machine learning to continually learn from its interactions with people. According to Pi, that's the key differentiator between it and an LLM.


A continuously trained LLM would still be an LLM, and LLM chatbots are known to be unreliable sources about themselves.

Also, to quote from the fixed disclaimer on Pi: “This early of version of Pi can make mistakes. Please don’t rely on its information.”


It's bad. I have a ASUS MB16AHP (claiming a brightness of 220cd/㎡, contrast ratio 700:1) and yeah, in a brightly lit room viewing can be difficult. It's ok under normal office lighting but you'll be out of luck if you have sunlight flooding in. I've been searching for a brighter option but most (all?) the current offerings seem to be based on the same or similar internals.

Still, it's a useful device while traveling – nice to be able to plop a decent multi-monitor setup out of a backpack. My model also has a micro HDMI port (and an internal battery) which can be handy if you need a temporary screen for a Raspberry Pi or a machine that usually runs headless.


I have one like yours and it's usually enough - if you are willing to switch your IDE to light mode.

Yeah, I'm a monster who does Solarized Light.


Keep in mind that...

> The model is able to reference up to approximately 3000 words (or 4000 tokens) from the current conversation - any information beyond that is not stored. (https://help.openai.com/en/articles/6787051-does-chatgpt-rem...)

So if you overflow that it'll loose context.


I'd be worried any secrets that had been printed would persisted on the internal printer storage, eg. https://www.bitraser.com/article/innocuous-printer-can-leak-...


Then go "Office Space" on it - Damn it feels good to be a gangsta!


I thought it was a story about EVs bursting into flames after being repossessed. Pretty confusing headline without context.


There are reports that Apple has been exploring a foldable eInk device of some kind, so yeah.


Select multiple files with different extensions > hold [Control] and right click > Get Summary Info > Open with (select all) > click [Change All...].

The files don't need to be valid, just have the extension you want to associate, so you can do something like `touch _.mp3 _.mp4 _.m4a _.mkv` then select those files and set them all at once.
