We need some sort of end to end verification. Aka from the sender camera to the receiver display / speakers.

Maybe Apple will be able to pull it off? Aka if you FaceTime me I know that you are a person

I don’t think someone completely untrained can do 10’ / mile.

"most men who exercise regularly and don't carry a ton of extra bodyweight, even with zero running" - what's that supposed to mean? How do they exercise then when they are not running?

I don't think many people who don't exercise running can do 1.5 miles in 9:40.

> what's that supposed to mean? How do they exercise then when they are not running?

Any other sport? Cycling, swimming, rowing, ball sports, team sports, weightlifting, ...

> I don't think many people who don't exercise running can do 1.5 miles in 9:40.

It's 1.5 miles at 9:40 mile pace; 14.5 minutes total. Much easier than 6:30 pace (what you're imagining).

It's 1.5 miles in 14:25, I think most people can handle that. There are plenty of ways to exercise that aren't plain running. Biking, skating, swimming, Tai chi...

Thousands and thousands of miles of high voltage cables transformers and super expensive chargers sounds easy to you?

A gas station just needs a tank and a pump. You can put it anywhere and can operate with a small generator if 110V electricity is not available. Even as a country you don’t need infra. Just some trucks to import from the closest refinery/ port

Yes, if you're rolling it out for a single charger in the middle of nowhere.

My understanding is that much of the grid already exists if there is a town or even just a rest stop present, it likely has grid power. I will grant that this doesn't speak to the suitability of said existing infrastructure for running one or a number of a high voltage / high speed chargers.

> Just some trucks to import from the closest refinery/ port

Driving thousands and thousands of miles.

Vehicles will be visiting the gas station anyway ? Aka the road-like infrastructure will need to be there.

I do not try to claim that trucking fuel over long distances is efficient. Just stating that gas stations themselves need no additional infrastructure.

I mean, if you consider "building the whole gas station" to be the infrastructure, then sure, but building a gas station requires significantly more complex infrastructure than installing an EV charger or two.

You need to install several specialized sealed tanks underground, and the pumps that will get the gas & diesel (and sometimes kerosene) in them up to the cars.

You then need to be able to make secure, safe deliveries of highly flammable liquids to the site regularly, forever.

Once an EV charger has been installed, it'll need occasional maintenance, and if some yahoos vandalize it it might need repair or replacement, but otherwise it's pretty much good to go, potentially for decades.

Most of those cables are already in place and powered up for the existing power grid.

They better start dancing and distill their news into 10” video chunks. This is how we consume news today.

I really do hope this is sarcasm!

Maybe split screen viewing where 1/2 is an ai cat pineapple hybrid with large anime eyes, and the other half is an AI instagram baddie that is tugging on her thong while telling me about Iran?

the thong baddie is a no go because your audience has people of different genders as well as kids in a country with majority of extreme religious people

replace it with realtime betting by the viewers (on news or on some game video)

and cat hybrid can be telling the news.

My recommendation is try not to pay attention.

Once you hear the difference in sound quality / see difference in image quality you cannot undo it.

I have become very picky with display resolution and text clarity, and it has not served me well. I miss the days I was happy with a 1080p monitor.

In 2011 I had a 28" 1080p monitor I thought was amazing. Like ground breaking enjoyment using it for my sales job inside the CRM.

Now if you ask me that monitor is causing eye damage and I rather not use the computer that day vs use it.

Well, nobody should be happy with 16:9 aspect ratio, but as you get older you may find that your happiness with a lower pixel pitch returns... ;-)

Lottery is obscenely, absurdly profitable employment. Particularly for the ones who win it.

The person I was replying to is asserting that the winners of the metaphorical lottery are not in profitable employment, so you aren't making the point you think you're making.

LLMs have changed completely the time economics of coding. Things that in the past you would never touch because they would not worth the time investment of yours, today can be almost be done in one shot by LLMs.

I built a TV OS slideshow app for both photos and videos (as far as I know all the apps just go through photos).

I have no experience in Apple OSes development and in the past it would had taken me at least a week to just read enough documentation to get started.

Now? It took me 3 hours of iterating with an LLM to start from scratch developing and publish the app.

I love that LLMs are already copying humans when it comes to estimates. When asked for estimate they provide a very padded estimate of weeks.

Then they proceed to implement the solution in 30”.

That's because LLMs don't actually think, they pattern-match. Since all the existing estimations out there are made assuming that a human is going to perform the task, the estimation that the LLM provides has the same inherent assumption. The LLM doesn't have a corpus of LLM-led estimations so it cannot take that into account.

I mean if it was small enough to fit in an iPhone why not? Every year you would fabricate the new chip with the best model. They do it already with the camera pipeline chips.
