I propose that 1) Time to Response and 2) Relative Humidity are core principles when trying to address wildfire urban risks.

I am curious if this community has any feedback or reaction!

Still ranks #7 on TTS Arena, however.

Is there a benchmark for compute needed? Curious to see if anyone is building / has built a Zoom filter, or Mobile app, whereby I can speak English, and out comes Chinese to the listener.

Depending on what models you want to run, RTX 4090 or RTX 3090 may not be enough.

Grok-1 was running on a M2 Ultra with 196GB of ram.

If needing to be tethered, Apple Vision Pro should’ve put more of the compute in the battery pack.

Sure there are latency concerns, but Goggles should be “lite”, more “heavy” compute with the battery pack.

Also seems redundant walking around with iPhone and Vision Pro battery pack. Future Vision Pros should be powered by iPhone Pro or MacBook Pro, with limited R1 chipset embedded in Goggles

How many of these implementation are strict, narrow implementation just to show that Google is better than OpenAI for the investor community?

E.g. In a similar vein within Silicon Chip. The same move that Qualcomm tried to do with Snapdragon 8cx Gen 4 over M2. Then 1 week later, Apple came out with M3. And at least with processors, they seem to me marginal, and the launch cadence from these companies just gets us glued to the news, when in fact they have performance spec'ed out 5 years from now, and theoretically ready to launch.

This is great! Hope you ship.

I loved, loved Google Desktop when it had launched, but alas it was deprecated. I have even paid for Neeva, a hot flash in the pan to see if it could provide personal search.

Dropbox has gotten progressively worse to no fault of its own. Instead of allowing Dropbox to run on a kernel like the good old days, Apple forces all sync providers (iCloud, Google Drive, Box, Dropbox) to use its macOS File Provider API going forward, which is terrible.

Apple Spotlight now doesn't index my Dropbox files, and I have to revert to using Dropbox.com to search for my files.

I'm a big believer in Personal LLMs, so the more data I have on myself the better.

Glean is the closest Enterprise focused solution of what I am looking for, and a few reddit subredits mention Personal LLMs, but I think we are still at the frontier.

How did Tasha McCauley know Dustin Moskovitz?

Wouldn't a better measure be radioactivity by the origin geography of food sourced? I can't imagine they sampled carrots from around the world and determined there was no stat sig difference. Growing carrots in Bikini Atoll is probably worse than carrots in Amazonian jungle.

"All organic matter (both plant and animal) contains some small amount of radiation from radioactive potassium-40 (40K), radium-226 (226Ra), and other isotopes"

Would this factoid be true pre-1945 Oppenheimer / Los Almost test? Because the world powers have carried out close to ~2056 nuclear detonations since 1945.

Amazon with the swift punch to Peloton. Interesting to see how quickly Apple Fitness and Prime Fitness will challenge Peloton's super premium SaaS/PaaS segment and steal away users.

Interesting to see this 120year ole company (subsidiary of Volvo) try electric in a very appropriate use case. (Lots of starts and stops).

Full specs:

Four Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide mounted batteries power up to 600V with fast-charging capabilities.

MOTOR

Two AC motors generate 260kW (349 HP) of continuous power.

TRANSMISSION

Two-speed Mack Powershift transmission sends power to Mack rear axles.

Worth a shot by Circle K, but not sure if consumer habits in Norway maps to the entire U.S.

Read full-transcript in its entirety. TLDR / Key learnings I got from PMarca:

- Original 2007 Pmarca guide to productivity far more useful to Hacker audience; Updated 2020 Pmarca guide to productivity is better for the executive.

- a16z is more about inputs and process vs. John Doerr / Kleiner Perkins is more on OKRs whereby you quantify results objectively

-Barbell Strategy to Book reading "I basically read things that are either up to this minute or things that are timeless"

-Lindy Effect to find key signals, Pmarca avoids "all the commentary and all the interpretation"

-"Strong views weakly held" going from zero to one in a new space.

The problem with our response to COVID in the US is that China didn't give the world a fair shake.

https://medium.com/@georgetoparis/the-book-rage-on-china-f5d...

A second reason is all gov were bad to solve novel problems 0 to 1, but good at solving 1 to 2, 2 to 3 problems. HK, Singapore, Korea Japan had experience to protect itself, swine flu, bird flu, SARS, etc. Western world had not.

But the truth of the matter, we're victims of geopolitics, media, and social media blaming thy neighbor. Go look at U.S. fatalities due to COVID which NYT posts at 200k as the time of this writing. Then go look at CDC U.S. registered deaths annually, which was last reported at 2.8M. While I am sympathetic for those who loved lost ones for whatever cause of death, quick maths show that in 0.8% of the population dies in a normal year, and COVID-19 blimp would increase it to 0.9 to 1.0%. We've grossly overreacted.

Non sequitur from Bloomberg article. China bans Google, Facebook, Twitter. At least U.S. has due process.

The problem with this line of reasoning is that there is sufficient evidence that all deep states collect information from one another. China, Israel, Russia, U.S. included.

While I am sympathetic to how many people use WeChat to communicate with family members bank home, etc., I am a greater champion of U.S. due process, which is what we see here.

China protects its domestic companies by outright banning Google, Facebook, Twitter. Then it unilaterally censors anything critical to Hong Kong, Uyghurs or its central government.

In basic strategy, one should at least play tit for tat.

Fascinating. Is Indonesia leading with these fintech refs in Muslim countries. Anyone aware of this type of oversight in other halal countries?

How is this any more invasive than what FB/Google knows about us?

This is merely Facebook sharing the way it does work at its workplace.
