I may be wrong, but this seems to make no sense.

A neural net can produce information outside of its original data set, but it is all and directly derived from that initial set. There are fundamental information constraints here. You cannot use a neural net to itself generate from its existing data set wholly new and original full quality training data for itself.

You can use a neural net to generate data, and you can train a net on that data, but you'll end up with something which is no good.

AlphaGo would seem to be a conceptually simple counter example.

Why would you put someone with clear talent at building stuff in charge of running a startup? He'll get bogged down in lawyers, day to day operations and growth strategies.

Hire him and put him in R&D in some robotics company.

Y’know, sometimes smart, dedicated, curious, self-directed people are that way with a lot of things.

I was a professor for a long time. My observation was that often a top researcher was also a top teacher and even a top administrator. There are exceptions of course. But if someone is smart and effective at using their attention, those skills transfer to many things.

It’s a pain in the ass when allocating university roles. I want that person to do EVERYTHING ‘cos they always deliver.

A whole section on economics, efficiency and speed without any mention of externalities.

“More fuel per seat‑km means higher CO₂ if sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is scarce. Supersonic NOₓ and water vapour are emitted directly into the lower stratosphere, affecting ozone and radiative forcing . Methalox rockets also inject large quantities of H₂O and NOₓ at >30 km.”

Yeah, LoRAs. Apple uses them to specialize a single model for different uses.

Thanks! Very interesting. Lead inventor Edward Hu describes them, and their usage, incredibly well in this video:

The model is gigabytes so I doubt they will push updates frequently.
robotresearcher · a month ago
Educate me: is there any work on modifying models in a way that changes relatively few parameters, so an update is a smaller payload?

The more I think about Apple, the more I realize that Apple is so far behind. While other companies are pushing the envelope (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google ..) Apple's ambitions seem much much smaller.

And this is after they made very big claims with Apple Intelligence last year, when they had everyone fooled.

This is like watching a train-wreck in slow motion.

When the Blackberry ruled the Earth, people asked 'Why doesn't Apple do a smartphone?'.

I should have specified glass panels/panes, specifically windows and mirrors, which you mention.

These likely have small radius rounded corners too.

To me it looks plain ugly, especially with all the bounces and transforms. Look at those sliders and toggles..

It's straight from the 2000s, with Linux users using Compiz and... Amethyst(?), stuffing their entire desktop full with gaudy transparency, transforms, jiggles and bounces.

More of a nit, but the sentence

  The new design extends across iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe 26, watchOS 26, and tvOS 26 to establish even more harmony
is so ironic and funny. No one noticed how talking about "harmony" whilst having one single platform use a codename next to the version number just screams inattention to detail?

The section on macOS only used the name Tahoe, like the 26 idea hadn’t made it to the copy for that section.
