Thanks for mentioning this here, I learnt a lot more about Gordon from the video there, and I think we all have something to thank Gordon for - both directly and indirectly.

That is pretty insane, I didn’t expect that portal would run that well!

Can we get one of these you don't wear on your wrist?

I'm all for the exercise and health tracking, but I hate wearing a watch when I'm typing or at a computer a good chunk of the day, where it would be resting on something.

This may be as good as it gets https://www.theverge.com/2024/7/17/24200520/tinypod-apple-wa...

But I’m uncertain how polished the experience would be.

> Featuring a new 48MP Fusion camera with a faster quad-pixel sensor that enables 4K120 fps video recording in Dolby Vision, these new Pro models achieve the highest resolution and frame-rate combination ever available on iPhone

Every iPhone generation makes YouTube video quality slightly better as it’s what a lot of people use. That plus social media.

Camera quality is quite amazing these days

Given that they had to upgrade to a new camera sensor to get faster readout speed, I’m wondering if they actually changed to a better sensor with improved pixel size and light sensitivity.

I have read the official press release but it seems like there is no mentions of this.

Might need to wait for the ifixit tear down in ~10 days.

Edit 1: there has been some discussions that eventually the Sony IMX903 would be used, but not sure when that will actually eventuate.

We need a lot more of this kind of in depth analysis. Right now the cheering on of AI is overwhelming. Criticism is often suppressed, both on the vendor side who just want to sell, and on the client side who have very strong FOMO.

I work for the client side and this bothers me a lot. It's very hard to get a true honest value analysis done with all the sales influence and office politics going on.

I would only consider this as “in depth” if and only if the author provided clearer methodology on the exact model used for this write up.

It is still unclear to me whether this is a deficiency in all ChatGPT models or this is just one of the many.

Thanks for linking these, I was not very familiar of these works/discussions taking place in the past, but these really helped establish the context. Very grateful that these videos are readily available.

The speech given to the Atlas team was really touching, I actually teared up a bit when reading through it.

@asanwal thank you for sharing this.
