I don't think that's quite it. They had it on their website before this, that opus 3.5 was coming soon, now they've removed that from the webpage.

Also, Gemini ultra 1.0, was released like 8 months ago, 1.5 pro released soon after, with this wording "The first Gemini 1.5 model we’re releasing for early testing is Gemini 1.5 Pro"

Still no ultra 1.5, despite many mid and small sized models being released in that time frame. This isn't just an issue of "the training time takes longer", or a "skew" to release dates. There's a better theory to explain why all SoTA LLM companies have not released a heavy model in many months.

I think the main reason is they tried training a heavy weight model that was supposed to be opus 3.5, but it didn't yield large enough improvements to 3.5 sonnet to justify them releasing it. (They had it on their page for a while that opus was coming soon, and now they've scrapped that.)

This theory is consistent with the other two top players, Open AI and Google, they both were expected to release a heavy model, but instead have just released multiple medium and small tier models. It's been so long since google released gemini ultimate 1.0 (the naming clearly implying that they were planning on upgrading it to 1.5 like they did with Pro)

Not seeing anyone release a heavyweight model, but at the same time releasing many small and medium sized models makes me think that improving models will be much more complicated than scaling it with more compute, and that there likely are diminishing returns with that regard.

I tried again, and now it's working - and yes it is reasonably fast but i wonder once you start adding vision it will likely increase your response time, to the point that you may need to consider a temporary blur until the content is vetted.

Anyways good work on the tool, it has potential even at just blocking inline ads and spam.

Until you have reform in the sense of replacing the First-past-the-post voting with a more representative system that allows the survival of more than 2 centrist parties, or have a system where there are meaningful referendums at a meaningful frequency, then where is the value of being "politically informed" on new/current politics?

Democracy in many western nations, at least in the US, is more or less an illusion of choice. Being sucked into the liberal/republican squabbling, drama and even the occasional political issue is nothing more than mere entertainment for the peasant class. For lobbies and corporations, who actually have much more leverage into governance, then yea being politically informed for them is prudent.

"we process the tweets directly in your viewport as you would have seen them."

The primary issue with this approach is, even with the speed of gpt-4o mini, often times you're going to be displaying the "harmful" content for enough time for the brain to process it. This is especially true when you're dealing with images and short 1 sentence content like twitter. I think you'll want a safety mode, where nothing is displayed/or you have a css-blur on it, until it has been vetted.

I like the concept, but i wasn't able to get it to filter anything, even when i used a tag, "technology" that my homepage is filled with and it didn't filter anything (I did a "Save options" and a page refresh, tried the power button in both states (it's not obvious to me, or chatgpt-vision which is the on-state, but regardless i tried both and nothing was blocked)). Any troubleshooting tips? (and set a todo to fix the on/off button ui)

unrelated: for youtube are you classifying the content purely based on the title? or are you digging deeper and looking at the description and thumbnail and comments? Is there a second where the content is visible before it is blocked/hidden?

"Not slow, but full and continuous inhaling and exhaling to the boundaries of lung capacity."

Sounds like some serious hyperventilation - I wouldn't recommend doing that as it can lead to cerebral hypoxia

Yea, the article quickly lost my attention so i scrolled to the bottom and read the last 2 paragraphs hoping for a meaningful answer to the articles question, but no luck. Can someone who has the time to read this summarize it for the rest of us?

The battery is probably the singular most expensive component in an EV Vehicle. And batteries degrade with time and are in different states. If someone comes in with a batter that's only half working, then swaps it for a fully working one? or One that comes to the station with a fully working one and swaps it for a half working one?

Batteries would need to be a communal resource - with them being expensive i don't see it happening. Batteries need to be cheap for companies and people to take the risk of swapping their battery with a random one.

It's part clothing, and for men different facial hair, and for women far less/different makeup, and the fact that the picture is black and white and grainy has a bit of an effect too.

Also different attitudes and culture - it affects how they stand and walk, and even probably to a certain extent facial expressions are expressed more often than others.

No matter how popular i think few will use the latter - it just does not slip off the tongue at all. The former? it's at lease succinct

I was mislead by the chart too, i had assumed it was a chart of daily queries (getting a daily average to smoothen it out makes sense to an extent, but a 365 day average when you have this many data points?), however one redeeming quality is they let you change the day average from 365 to say 5 days. Despite that, they still grew by 25% in 2021 (which is much less than their growth in 2020 of ~60%, but still not at the level of stagnation)
