the real gains will come not from chatbots and flashy gen AI - rather, at the deeper levels. Shaving a few instructions off of C++ math library functions that are called trillions of times per day is actually a big deal. Giving researchers a few dozen likely candidate compounds to test (out of a universe of millions or more) is actually a big deal (assuming they find a winner among the candidates).

Hello. I too am 55! I skimmed the rest of the article. It seems in this case that the actual text recipe is locked behind a paywall. So this is a clever hack to reconstruct the unavailable recipe from the youtube video, which is freely available. Note the author and the content owners agree with you that the text recipe is more useful/valuable than the video. Information wants to be free! :-)

modern medicine happened. People live a lot longer now, including obese and otherwise unhealthy people.

You misspelled daemons

What if the other end of the Bluetooth connection failed? Did they have a spare for that as well?

Same argument as above - how much post-production is permitted for an image to remain a "photograph?" Would you distinguish Photoshop work from darkroom work from AI enhancement tools? At some point, the original photons as captured by the original sensor are just one input into the final product.

That's just kicking the can down the road. What about post-production? Even now, that's where much of the work happens. Suppose the original image captured was a blank sheet of paper. and then I used AI to manipulate the image into something interesting. Is that photography?

A person thanked in this manner will now show up in an imdb search. for lots of people, that's worth something in bragging rights.

Did you try a third-party cartridge? The vendor is claiming your loss is limited to the ink that you barely used.

Someone jumped the gun here - sadly, the launch failed.

...more or less

it sounds like the compressed stream cannot simply be decoded by implementing a published algorithm. Rather, the proprietary app is the only entity that can restore the audio stream to something we perceive as close to the original form. So what happens if you lose the license to decode the stream? Or your hardware is not supported by the vendor? Your data is useless to you. Even if Meta provides an 'export' option, that's not good enough. Because any compressed data you own, that you did not have the foresight to export earlier, is now lost to you.

'Healthy,' yes - we should edit out localized abnormalities that cause illness. But 'intelligent' is a different story. How would we identify the genes associated with 'intelligence' - whatever that is? And how would we identify the unintended consequences of the changes? The process for reading DNA and building a human from that 'blueprint' cannot be modeled - it is too complex by far to be computable with classical computers.

I like the ease-of-use of their products - this would theoretically work well for my elderly relatives who struggle with their smartphones. But I would never recommend any Meta products to my family because I don't trust Meta to protect my privacy. In fact, the whole purpose of Facebook is to collect people's private information - ostensibly to help them socialize on their network. So sell me the hardware, with no cloud component. I will direct the input and output streams as I prefer, with no data leaving my network without authorization. Otherwise, no deal.

Actually, this is common business practice. The people who purchase server chips in bulk aren't making emotional decisions - their spreadsheets tell them paying less upfront while retaining an option to upgrade performance later through a software reconfiguration is optimal. This allows them to upgrade on-demand at a very granular level for a one-time fee, with no installation costs and minimal downtime - just a rolling restart in a routine maintenance window. This, in turn, allows them to conserve capital when compared with the alternative, which is to purchase the higher-performant (and therefore higher-priced) chips in advance - 'just in case.'
