A day after exploding pagers targeting Hezbollah members killed 12 people, including two children, and injured nearly 3,000 people in Lebanon and Syria, the attacks started again. The New York Times_reports 14 people have died, along with hundreds injured in the second wave of explosions. Lebanese state media agency NNA reports they resulted from wireless devices like walkie-talkies and fingerprint analysis devices that also damaged cars and motorcycles and started fires, including one at a lithium battery store.
While the vast majority of his statement today paints his arrest as surprising and unfair, he also admits that policing Telegram has become harder. Durov says it’s now his “personal goal” to “significantly improve things in this regard.”
Applying the dye to the belly of a mouse made its liver, intestines and bladder clearly visible through the abdominal skin, while smearing it on the rodent’s scalp allowed scientists to see blood vessels in the animal’s brain.
Findings In this cross-sectional study of 231 141 students in 3284 secondary schools, school-level past-year prescription stimulant nonmedical use ranged from 0% to more than 25% across US schools. Students attending schools with the highest rates of stimulant therapy for ADHD had 36% increased odds of nonmedical prescription stimulant use compared with students attending schools with the lowest rates.
Chu says Litewave provides a robust and reliable local connection that enables instantaneous control — as fast as flipping a light switch. “With it, we can simultaneously be part of the Matter over Thread mesh network and also support our communication,” he says. Litewave also doesn't require a Thread border router or Matter controller to work, making setup simpler for users. You only need those additional devices if you choose to enable Matter. ... Chu says they decided to go with Wi-Fi because they feel like Thread is still too niche for the Walmart customer. “The mass market does not know what Thread is,” he says. “When launching into a place like Walmart, we wanted to make sure we were catering to as broad an audience as possible.”
For that film, Jones reprised his role as King Jaffe Joffer from the 1988 Eddie Murphy comedy “Coming to America” — one of several roles, along with Darth Vader, that Jones revisited, including the voice of King Mufasa in Disney’s animated feature “The Lion King” in 1994, the 1998 direct-to-video sequel and the 2019 remake
Additionally, Christianson says that 92 percent of Fortune 500 companies are using OpenAI's products, while API usage has doubled following the release of the company's cheaper and smarter model GPT-4o Mini.
That’s seemingly where we’re headed. Everyone alive today has grown up in a world where you can’t believe everything you read. Now we need to adapt to a world where that applies just as equally to photos and videos. Trusting the sources of what we believe is becoming more important than ever.
The most exciting update in visionOS 2? To me, it was the ability to open a mac virtual display in an immersive space. For example, I'm now able to watch The Matrix on my mac, in the matrix environment, without having to create a movie player for @MagicRoomApp
Google Glass had a lot of the technical capabilities (except for processing power) to make this possible in a lightweight form factor. Maybe it just missed the AI wave.
2013 年我试用过一下 Google Glass，当时的感受是：「没有很好玩」。这个产品如果生在今天会更有用一点，但是不会很多，它本身外观特立独行 + 小屏幕观看和交互体验仍然会导致失败。
在最初的两次查询后，答案逐渐偏离准确性，到第五次时，质量显著下降，到了第九次连续查询时，回答已完全退化为无意义的胡言乱语。研究人员将这种生成式 AI 内容的循环过度使用称为“模型崩溃”，即 AI 在不断污染自己的训练集后，输出的内容逐渐偏离现实，最终变得毫无价值。 ... 报道称，根据亚马逊网络服务（Amazon Web Services）团队在 6 月发布的另一项研究，大约 57% 的网络文本都经过了 AI 算法的翻译。如果互联网上的人类生成数据迅速被 AI 过滤内容覆盖，且舒梅洛夫的研究发现属实，那么 AI 可能正在“自我毁灭”—— 并同时“毁灭”互联网。
原文在这里，生成式 AI 生成的内容无法训练模型是完全符合预期的，也从一个侧面说明了所谓 AGI 离我们还有多远。互联网上的垃圾越来越多，信息过载的年代，筛选和甄别替代获取变成了最重要的能力。
Doomscrolling isn’t going away any time soon, but there’s no reason you can’t be comfortable while doing it. Mechanism’s $59 Gaming Pillow is designed to shift the weight of gadgets like handheld consoles, tablets, XL smartphones, and e-readers from your arms to your lap.
OpenAI has banned a string of ChatGPT accounts tied to an Iranian influence campaign that generated and shared content related to the US presidential election, among other topics. The operation mainly used ChatGPT to create longform articles and social media comments for platforms like Instagram and X, according to OpenAI.
It's certainly a big change and given the effectiveness of tab bars, its also a change that has people questioning why? I have no inside information on Apple's decision-making process here but based on what I've learned about how people use Google Photos, Yahoo! Photos, and Flickr, I can speculate.By far the dominant use of a Photo gallery is scrolling to find an image whether to share, view, or just browse.Very few people organize their photo libraries and those that do, do it rarely.People continue to have poor experiences with searching images, despite lots of improvements, so they default to browsing when trying to find photos.Most automatic curation features like those found in For You just get ignored. All that together can easily get you to the design answer of "the app should just be a scrolling list of all your Photos". Of course there's trade-offs. The top-level sections, and their features are much less visible, and thereby less obvious. The people who do make use of features like Albums and Memories now need to scroll to them vs. tapping once. But as iOS18 rolls out to everyone in the Fall, we'll see if these trade-offs were worth it.
iOS 18 照片应用的新框架可以说深得我心，2014 年我做过两个类似的方案，效果其实挺好的，单页面滚动对浏览场景来说是非常好的，当时我的灵感来源应该是 App Store 和 Amazon。
And clinically, well, we now have evidence that in real-world use it can do something that has never been seen before: twice-yearly injections in thousands of female trial volunteers in high-risk areas (South Africa and Uganda) showed a one hundred per cent prevention rate of HIV infection.
I'm a bit surprised RLHF works for LLMs at all. The RM we train for LLMs is just a vibe check in the exact same way. It gives high scores to the kinds of assistant responses that human raters statistically seem to like. It's not the "actual" objective of correctly solving problems, it's a proxy objective of what looks good to humans.
The Vision Pro got its first Virtual Boy emulator in an app called VirtualFriend, finally giving me, a person with an irrational love for Nintendo’s most short-lived console, a chance to play it in immersive 3D once more. The app is also available for iOS and iPadOS, where it’s a virtually identical experience, minus the 3D effect.
ROM 很好找，全部作品打包 8.8MB，推荐有 Vision Pro 的朋友们都试试～，Virtual Boy 是任天堂 1995 年推出的双目 VR 视觉游戏机，市场大败，次年就停产清仓了。我 2017 年在中野一个店里见过一台实物，可惜故障中没能试玩。这次可以玩玩了
Red Laser’s case, making the primary action button huge and red led to users completely ignoring it. In subsequent redesigns, they toned down the shape and added a label, making it feel more like part of the core navigation. They even dropped the different color.
StackOverflow was the first place I remember encountering URLs that struck a nice balance between the needs of computers and humans.
The URLs follow a pattern like this: /questions/:id/:slug
:id is a unique identifier for the question that reveals nothing about the content. :slug, on the other hand, is a human-readable paraphrasing of the question that allows you to understand the question without ever actually going to the website.
