Readit News"I was unable to retrieve the transcript for this video due to its large size."
It immediately reminded me of Stuxnet, which also from a technical perspective was quite interesting.
I already wonder if this was anything that was planted in the devices perviously, or if the ones responsible had similar devices, and managed reverse engineer them and craft a payload to them, that could be sent over existing cellular protocols/networks and then, similar to Stuxnet, make the device exagerte some existing functionality to a point where it caused a malfunction? Thoughts on this?
"We’re starting to roll out advanced Voice Mode to a small group of ChatGPT Plus users. Advanced Voice Mode offers more natural, real-time conversations, allows you to interrupt anytime, and senses and responds to your emotions.
Users in this alpha will receive an email with instructions and a message in their mobile app. We'll continue to add more people on a rolling basis and plan for everyone on Plus to have access in the fall. As previously mentioned, video and screen sharing capabilities will launch at a later date.
Since we first demoed advanced Voice Mode, we’ve been working to reinforce the safety and quality of voice conversations as we prepare to bring this frontier technology to millions of people.
We tested GPT-4o's voice capabilities with 100+ external red teamers across 45 languages. To protect people's privacy, we've trained the model to only speak in the four preset voices, and we built systems to block outputs that differ from those voices. We've also implemented guardrails to block requests for violent or copyrighted content.
Learnings from this alpha will help us make the Advanced Voice experience safer and more enjoyable for everyone. We plan to share a detailed report on GPT-4o’s capabilities, limitations, and safety evaluations in early August."

False awakenings are another aspect of dreams:
I would wake up in bed, get up and at a specific point, an overwhelming feeling of impending doom would overcome me. Then at the peak of this emotion, a monster would grab me by my ankles and violently drag me back up the stairs and into bed. I would then wake up and repeat the process.
Sometimes, I was not sure anymore if I landed in reality or if this existence will turn into horror again.
For lack of a better way of describing it, I rather think in concepts, sometimes the voice in my head likes to play along by imagining the words representing those concepts, sometimes in English, sometimes in Romanian, but the words are not necessary.
In dev words, I guess I think in structs and then optionally serialize those structs in En/Ro (JSON).
During the "stain gate" incident where the anti-glow coating came off by itself ruining the display, I went to the authorized repair shop to get the free replacement.
Apple rejected my repair because the screen has a small cosmetic dent at the corner. The free replacement replaces the whole screen unit, but no, that minor dent precludes my laptop...
To my surprise the technician inspected the laptop and said that the keyboard was damaged (a few keys were wonky, remember the butterfly keyboards?) and that there was an official repair program for that. It turns out that the battery, keyboard, and trackpad is a single repair item. If you want to replace one, you have to replace all three. So instead of a battery replacement, I got a keyboard replacement which just happened to include a new battery and a new trackpad. At the beginning of last year the battery started to expand again and I went to an unofficial repair shop instead. They replaced just the battery for ~$150.
From the article: "we found that the risk of developing lymphoma was 21 percent higher among those who were tattooed"
Let's put this number into context, because "percent of increased risk" is always something I struggle to picture"
"Overall, the chance that a man will develop NHL in his lifetime is about 1 in 42; for a woman, the risk is about 1 in 52." [1]
So the overall risk is ~2 %. That means getting a tattoo will bring your overall risk of developing NHL from 2 % to 2.5 % instead.

* Augmented touch perception via dual-ECG sensing with person-i wearing bioelectronic fibre arrays and person-ii without. * A breathable skin-gated OECT on a fingertip * Dual-modal sensing for augmented perception of mist pulses with acidic, alkaline and neutral compositions distinguished through colorimetric and electrical readouts.
That is amazing.
