It sounds like you handled that maturely, and about as well as you could. It’s not like you can just choose to be less sensitive.

Why do you ask?

“Can big tech fix–” “No.”

*on the power button.

My s10e had this, and it’s the best IMO.

You can also swipe it to pull down the notification shade.

So it should be safe in airplane mode, no? If I can trust my device, that is.

What’s wrong with a grapheneOS device on airplane mode? Is firmware level tracking a confirmed thing?

I disagree – I think Z up is much more natural in this sense. X,Y is a plane, and it’s much more natural to think of a plane as being horizontal, especially in a 3D environment with a ground plane. Z is the third dimension, perpendicular to that plane. Think about it this way, doesn’t it makes way more sense to have a map with X,Y coordinates rather than X, Z coordinates?

Also infrared cameras are pretty sensitive, so the lights often aren’t that bright.

And the contact lens definitely won’t make infrared light as bright as visibly light. It also likely doesn’t line up exactly with the wavelength used by most cameras.

It would probably be noticeable but not appear very bright.

The way you should think about it is that you were masking really well, which is hard!

Shadow Cities was really fun back in the day. Despite coming out so long ago, I think it was the best location based game. I’m disappointed and a bit surprised that nobody ever recreated it. Niantic tried, but they never really captured the magic of it. Pokemon go was fun for a short time, but got boring fast. I think it was a huge missed opportunity to not have actual Pokemon battles, especially PvP.

I think you’ve already had your questions answered, but I’d like to add 2 more things:

First, if it’s in budget, I would still consider OLED. I love my LCD deck, but I kinda wish the screen was nicer.

Second, it may be cheapest to get the 64GB version and upgrade the ssd yourself. That’s what I did, and it’s pretty easy with the deck’s repairable design.

If rhythm games are on the table, I’d like to recommend Sayonara Wild Hearts. It honestly doesn’t really meet the criteria of this post, (it’s more flashy than cozy, more feminine than girly, and it does have some combat) but it’s really good.

And nothing is okay for people who are just using it for web browsing and streaming.

I want local music, and to be able to take pictures without worrying about storage, etc. so ~20GB isn’t enough for me, but for some people it really is fine.

Any general purpose consumer device should probably have 64GB or more.

But I don’t see the point in disallowing <32GB, as that can still be enough for using tablets for lots of uses like e-readers, smart home displays, kiosks, etc.

In practice, this just means that low end devices will stay on older versions of Android even more than they do already.

I’ve tried it, but there isn’t any traffic data, so it’s really not usable for me. Also the search isn’t great either, and there’s no lane indicator.

Don’t get me wrong, I think OSM and Organic are great projects, they just don’t really compare to other options for my use.

Honestly I might consider giving this a try. I really don’t want Google to have my location at all times, and I trust Apple at least a bit more with my data. Currently using Magic Earth, but the traffic info and search, while usable, are not great.

Well, it falls apart pretty easily. LLMs are notoriously bad at math. And even if it was accurate consistently, it’s not exactly efficient, when a calculator from the 80s can do the same thing.

We have setups where LLMs can call external functions, but I think it would be cool and useful to be able to replace certain internal processes.

As a side note though, while I don’t think that it’s a “true” thought process, I do think there’s a lot of similarity with LLMs and the human subconscious. A lot of LLM behaviour reminds me of split brain patients.

And as for the math aspect, it does seem like it does math very similarly to us. Studies show that we think of small numbers as discrete quantities, but big numbers in terms of relative size, which seems like exactly what this model is doing.

I just don’t think it’s a particularly good way of doing mental math. Natural intuition in humans and gradient descent in LLMs both seem to create layered heuristics that can become pretty much arbitrarily complex, but it still makes more sense to follow an exact algorithm for some things.

I considered this, and I think it depends mostly on ownership and means of production.

Even in the scenario where everyone has access to superhuman models, that would still lead to labor being devalued. When combined with robotics and other forms of automation, the capitalist class will no longer need workers, and large parts of the economy would disappear. That would create a two tiered society, where those with resources become incredibly wealthy and powerful, and those without have no ability to do much of anything, and would likely revert to an agricultural society (assuming access to land), or just propped up with something like UBI.

Basically, I don’t see how it would lead to any form of communism on its own. It would still require a revolution. That being said, I do think AGI could absolutely be a pillar of a post capitalist utopia, I just don’t think it will do much to get us there.

The math example in particular is very interesting, and makes me wonder if we could splice a calculator into the model, basically doing “brain surgery” to short circuit the learned arithmetic process and replace it.
