"Browser memories" claim to be "private", but the learn more link is broken. Shows the care given by OpenAI to privacy.


Link broken was probably a honest oversight. That said, there is still a need for fully open-source + local browser where users store their memories locally (and have encrypted cloud backup if required).This is on our roadmap! (BrowserOS.com)


It’s not exercise, but NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis).


FCC has rules for calling 911, and many state statutes reinforce or extend FCC rules.

Tin Can is probably not bound by these rules, but it looks like a phone and works like a phone. In an emergency where seconds matter, it better not fail anyone.

Enabling 911 calls for all could not only save lives, but also save the company from lawsuits.


LLMs can read documentations for a language and use it as well as human engineers.

"given a grammar manual for Kalamang, a language with fewer than 200 speakers worldwide, the model learns to translate English to Kalamang at a similar level to a person who learned from the same content"

https://zkpassport.id could be used to prove that you’ve a government ID with NFC capabilities, without revealing anything like your nation.

I hope people have some self-respect not to show their ID to use a website.


I don’t think this could hury NYT in any way except bringing questions on data safety concerns.

They would have better open sourced their code in the first place.


What iamwil says is “one niche topic”, and why he says it is:

Such social media platforms need a small niche community to get started.

I think such a platform would be most useful for AI papers. If I were in your shoes, I’d pivot to targeting AI papers only and allocate 90% of my time on community building.


Yes. focus on one specific topic or field of study. Think of it like starting a fire. You want to get the core really hot first, before trying to burn other things.

Hacker news used to be called Startup news, because all it did was talk about startups. pg only expanded it later because only startup news was too boring.

Reddit only started with a few topics, IIRC-- /r/programming r/startups, and something else. Just topics that the founders found interesting.

AI is the right way to go. It's what people are interested in right now, and market demonstrates there's a need with existing twitter handles and newsletters that purport to cover AI papers.


Some facts:

* This is a response to Jan’s claims: https://x.com/janleike/status/1791498174659715494

* There’s nothing concrete on AI alignment in the response.

* We don’t know when AI alignment could be developed.

* AI ethics / AI bias are necessary, but different concerns than AI alignment.

* We don’t know when existential-risk posing AI could be developed.

* There’s some risk of human extinction due to development of x-risk posing AI before AI alignment.

* OpenAI is at the frontier of AI development, which risks human extinction, without allocating sufficient resources to AI alignment.

I am uneasy with subscribing to ChatGPT…


Can anyone summarise the claims? Twitter doesn't show threads for web users (at least if not logged in).



I created a cli postman test runner 8 years ago due to the pains involved in API testing: https://github.com/hantuzun/jetman

It seems like the API QA developer tooling has still room for disruption.


There is an official cli tool called Newman for running the postman collections.


Jetman was enabling writing and managing tests and it was using newman to run the tests.


Organic Maps gives me peace of mind that in case cellular networks are down, I can find my way around.


Google Maps have supported offline maps for many years.


“Transit, bicycling, or walking directions are unavailable offline.”

Source: https://support.google.com/maps/answer/6291838

That might not be a problem in many cases, but at least Organic Maps doesn’t seem to have this limitation.


Aha, yes that would definitely tip it for Organic Maps if one isn’t driving.


Downloading larger regions on Google Maps is somewhat frustrating compared to this, though.


It's pretty frustrating in OM too, especially since the download usually fails after some time (my guess is phone goes into some power saving mode and kills the app, which it shouldn't do, but still).

I think closer to the end of last year they have released map updates roughly weekly or bi-weekly. Well, took me roughly that amount of time to update the map, so it would be downloading basically all the time, and the solution was to go to my friend's place, who actually has decent internet connection, and even then, I would have to restart the download 2-3 times.

Oh, and if the download fails and you don't push the "retry all" button, or something, you have to __manually__ tap all the tens or maybe hundreds of sub-regions which have failed, since you can't download all of them for a country with one button press after at least one succeeds.

Also, OSM uses git-like system under the hood, I guess, it's not possible to incrementally update the map since they re-package it as some kind of binary blob of sorts, but still, incremental updates would be nice.

Overall, not sure if Google maps is better or worse for this, but this is frustrating enough IMO.
