It can definitely be achieved with Claude. Even with no experience in graphics progammming, I've been able to replicate results of several papers in related to fluid simulation.

Interesting video, but it didn't tell me why rollable phones aren't a thing. It doesn't appear any more flawed than the foldable concept.

The impression I got was "too many parts, too much to go wrong, too expensive to build".

It doesn't rule out that other people might have better ideas, but it does suggest why LG decided it wasn't worth it.


I think the article gets at it indirectly: a complex mechanism with multiple motors, tracks, arms, etc, substantially more complicated and thus more failure-prone than any folding phone ever and also substantially more expensive to make.

Additionally, the flexible screen is on the outside which will quickly get damaged since it is made of soft plastic. It's too fragile for something that lives in your pocket every day. All modern foldables have the folding screen on the inside to keep them protected, and a standard glass screen on the front.

It slides behind a glass panel on the back, so I don't think that's true.

The whole display is plastic, including the part on the front that doesn't wrap around. Yes the part behind the glass panel on the back would be protected, but the front of the phone wouldn't be.

Yet they still make trifold phones where one of the folds is on the outer side...

"they" being Huawei, and their phone suffers from the same problem, the main display can be easily damaged by dust, dirt, or just your fingernails pressing into it. Notably Samsung's trifold kept the folding display entirely inside when folded, presumably to avoid this problem.

If motor is a problem, why don't they make manual rollable by hand?

Screen wouldn’t stay in place, it would keep sliding around

Can be solved with magnets and friction i guess.

"Claude Mythos Preview’s large increase in capabilities has led us to decide not to make it generally available."

Disappointing that AGI will be for the powerful only. We are heading for an AI dystopia of Sci-Fi novels.


Not surprising though, this was always going to be the end result within our current systems I think. When you add up: scaling power and required cost, then how talent concentrates in our economic systems, we were always going to end up with monopolies I think

Unless governments nationalise the companies involved, but then there’s no way our governments of today give this power out to the masses either.


If you thought that was the case at any point, you were deep in Disney content, sorry to say.

Expected outcome. Nick Land and the CCRU have explored how capitalism operationalizes science fiction (distilled in the concept of Hyperstition). Viewed through this lens, prices encode "distributed SF narratives." [0]

Love the visual. Fantastic.

Your dislike for Trump is making you see things through rose-tinted glasses.

Do you not remember Abu Ghraib, or Gitmo?

When it comes to war crimes, this administration is no worse than those past.


I don't remember either of those involving threatening to starve or thirst millions of civilians as a weapon of war?

can you point me to some sources?


fwiw i agree with you that the current situation is much worse than in the past, given all the horror's being done in the open without any nod toward reason, multilateralism, or public consent

take a look at this though, in the interest of examining past US actions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Iraq_War#Ira...


I don't have rose-tinted glasses with regard to US actions in the past, especially in OEF/OIF. So many instances of horror in Vietnam, WW2, and so on.

But all of those things are the awful things that happen during war even with a military, political, and legal apparatus that tries to mitigate it.

We are now dealing with a regime that claims and will make no such efforts. The only reason the Iran war hasn't so far yielded the same horrors is because so far we haven't attempted to occupy Iran.

If we do, I absolutely promise you that a military populated by people who know they can be court martialed, jailed, or even executed for crimes against the local population will be significantly better behaved (even if imperfectly, per your article) than one that is told – from the very top – that they will be accountable for nothing except maximal brutality and lethality.


The past was bad. But the current is far worse. Tell it to the people disappeared in the ICE concentration camps. Or to any trans people in any bad state.


Maybe I'm just not intelligent, but I gave it a couple of minutes and couldn't figure out WTF the game wants from you or how to win it.


It's not about intelligence, Stevvo. Proof, how long did this specific one take me, under a minute to solve the first level ;)

If you've played Wordle you might've solved the game in a minute once before as well. And if you've played a bunch then you've perhaps also taken the entire day to solve it.

So why is it that today’s puzzle was so intuitive but next month’s new puzzle shared here could be impossible. A more satisfying explanation than luck and the obvious “different things are different” (even though… Yeah different things are different)


It's not an IQ test. Just a way to assess your ability to generalize rules. If you've played previous rounds you kinda get used to the "style" of these games and it gets easier


That's exactly what "an IQ test" is.

"Raven's progressive matrices" is "infer and generalize rules". Performance there also improves once "you kinda get used to the style", which is why training for IQ tests can improve human performance on IQ tests, including on unseen examples. This is well known and well documented.


Once you figure out one game, it goes a long way towards figuring out all the rest. There are a lot of common general themes.


Exactly my experience. It has nothing to do wirh some AGI testing. It is just some kind of useless weird game.

Found they struggle with numbers. Like, give them a random four digit number in a sentence and it fumbles.


Indeed. Often one of the key details omitted is that Israel has been illegally occupying the west bank since 1967 as part of an apartheid regime.


Datasets such as LAION-5B are found to contain thousands of images of CSAM. So, real victims are involved indirectly.


.gov allowed Russian military to become reliant on Starlink, then cut it off.

That was a deliberate tactic; Government is not leaving the fate of nations in the hands of Elon Musk alone.


Yes. Their brilliant 5D chess moves I can see at the gas station every day. Their long term plan is clearly to drive everyone away from the fossil industry and towards renewables.
