It’s got at least as much murder too. So, uh…

Nah, the world has gone too conspiracy brained.

Gotta warp the truth to misdirect from the real problems.

Nah. Trying to keep our order histories away from competitors and analysis.

What, you don’t know what a “GPU month” is? Everyone knows what a GPU month is!

There are crazy people who believe they can just real time hallucinate consistent and fun video games without actually building real games.

Google has already put out multiple demonstrations of early versions.

I’m skeptical they will ever make them have grounded world interactions, collision or consistency over time. I’m also skeptical they will ever be cost effective to run.

But yeah, this is one possibility.

Meta said it would open source its most powerful AI models and launch new ones designed for consumer devices, as it looks to rival leading labs like OpenAI and Anthropic. 

In an Instagram video posted Monday, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that the company would open the weights[…]

These paragraphs contradict each other.

No one actually knows what open source means. Yet so many random people use the word. Including reporters.

Yeah, for sure. But I think we both know how some technology manages to stick around surprisingly long.

Even so, this is different. Spectrum use is a different animal from fax machines, COBOL and Windows CE.

I think things like commercial and high end home automation. And security stuff. I might be mistaken tho.

And it might sound like that’s old and out of date. But it stuck around cuz it was reliable.

I’m glad you got some feedback out of it. I think that’s where they have the most value right now. But they are too expensive and too inconsistent for the sort of mass rollout RFK wants here in the US. They need to improve a lot to move away from the style of use you got out of an OTC version.

Pressure lows are a known thing. I recently learned there is a new type of device that lasts 365 days, but it involves surgically inserting the sensor under the skin and removing it at the end. The sensor is then powered by a rechargeable external device. They claim this technique is basically immune to compression lows.

But this isn’t available over the counter, and requires a specific diagnosis to qualify.

I feel like I’m a Stelo unicorn. I’ve had good luck, and when I check with a finger prick it’s always close. I don’t use insulin. So it’s fine for my needs.

I suspect my body/arm/skin is ideal for the technique these use. And I think a large subset of people never have as good of luck. If you look on Amazon, you see the CGMs always have 2.5-3 stars. And in a broken place like Amazon where reviews are somehow always 4-4.5, this really shows how much you are rolling the dice with the OTC ones. But like I said, it’s been working for my needs.

It’s clear this market is proven and is valid. I hope breakthroughs in tech can happen to improve reliability, and longevity. If someone like Apple figures out how to do it with a watch style device, it’ll be really fantastic.
