Minority view here I'm sure but maybe profits are a just reward for inventing the future - this is literally science fiction come to life

I disagree - this is all an homage to Twitch Plays Pokemon, which was a noteworthy moment in internet culture/history.

While true to a degree, I think this is largely wrong. Wouldn't it still count as a "harness" if we provided these LLMs with full robotic control of two humanoid arms, so that it could hold a Gameboy and play the game that way? I don't think the lack of that level of human-ness takes away from the demonstration of long-context reasoning that the GPP stream showed.

Claude got stuck reasoning its way through one of the more complex puzzle areas. Gemini took a while on it also, but made it through. I don't that difference can be fully attributed up to the harnesses.

Obviously, the best thing to do would be to run a SxS in the same harness of the two models. Maybe that will happen?

Agree. Apple needs to clean up shop - MacOS has been egregiously worsening year over year. Some features like Universal Control and Continuity Camera are legitimately awesome, but they do not make up for the INSANELY slow System Settings app that gets harder to navigate with each release and which has >2s wait times for the right pane to respond to a change in the left pane. Steve Jobs would have fired the person responsible for that overhaul three years ago, it's embarrassing. Messages too needs a ground-up rewrite. Getting more elaborate emoji tapbacks doesn't make up for fundamental instability and poor syncing behavior. C'mon!

Whoa! I've been so annoyed by this for years, so interesting that you figured it out. It's the kind of inelegance in design that would have had Steve Jobs yelling at everyone to fix, just ruins immersion in music and had no obvious way to fix.

Well, no. It codified roughly what the public thought was appropriate at the time - the stable achievable policy equilibrium. And in the past 50 years, public sentiment has remained mostly unchanged; it's just trended a tiny bit towards more permissiveness around abortion.

See the graph displaying Gallup's public polling results here: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/how-has-public-opinion-a....

> Two years after the court’s decision, 54 percent of U.S. adults said they supported abortion under certain circumstances and another 21 percent said abortion always should be legal, according to Gallup polling from 1975, while 22 percent of Americans said it should be illegal.

> By 2018, Gallup pollsters found little change [...]

Yeah - in the past two weeks, shipping to a major metro area, not one, not two, but three orders ended up "Running Late". One of the items was a $180 AirPods Pro, which I ended up never receiving and getting a refund for. The other two are several days beyond the estimate. This is totally new - I've only had this happen once before, and it makes me wonder whether there's been a rapid rise in Amazon supply chain theft going on.

(Grabbed the AirPods for the same price from Costco while Amazon figures out what on earth is going on...)

There's a "progressive web app" - if you're in Chrome on chat.google.com, there's a new icon on the right hand side of the URL bar which permits you to download it. Not discoverable at all - this was mentioned in the help pages [https://support.google.com/chat/answer/9455386]

What kinds of technical skills do you see as particularly specialized/uncommon and necessary for high-performance data infrastructure work? Curious for some detail there

Naive question: Are you able to use MKL on an AMD chip without jumping through too many hoops?

Also - his recent book "Click Here to Kill Everybody" discusses the problem of IoT security in depth (ie. that the lack of it will risk increasingly dire consequences). One of his solutions is regulatory: a new federal agency for consumer cybersecurity. One of the particular things he would want mandated is that IoT devices be patchable, at a minimum.
