You see innovation in this space a lot in research. For example, Dalorex [1] or Azul [2] for operations on sparse matrices. Currently a more general version of Azul is being developed at MIT with support for arbitrary matrix/graph algorithms with reconfigurable logic.

My Garmin watch on Do Not Disturb accomplishes this. I always forget to look at them though!


PebbleOS has always had a feature called "Quiet Time" which does the same thing as "Do Not Disturb". Hopefully the new app will also respect the phone's native "Do Not Disturb" setting which has a bunch of nice automation features to e.g. turn on during meetings or at night automatically.


Does it deliver them at a slow pace after you turn it off?


When you turn Notifications off for showing, they're just in the "inbox" & won't show on the watchface when received. You can then just access them whenever you want from the menu OR you can create a button shortcut that activates when pressing down.

FYI the previous generation of Pebble OS did not have a message counter, but this generation will apparently add this to its complications.


How would you want that feature to work? Delivered every minute? Evened delivery through the next hour?


I wasn’t the one who wanted it, so you’ll have to ask them. I was just pointing out that you said “my watch accomplishes this” but it only accomplishes one of the two features they want, and honestly I’m pretty sure they know that you can silence notifications on most smart watches so the emphasis would have been on the second feature.


It looks pretty ambitious on release from what I've seen youtubers playing. Then again, they only played the first 100 years. Who knows what late game content will be like (that said, people don't usually play that long).


A mobius strip made out of paper has 2 sides, the usual one and the edge.


You can make it out of some other material that you can smooth, i.e. so that it doesn’t have edges.


Come to think of it, doesn't a sphere have only one side?


How about things like Klein bottles that have no edges? (Although I guess that unlike a Mobius strip it's not possible to make a real one here on Earth so the quote from OP still holds)


Devaluing the dollar makes paying national debt more expensive


No it makes it cheaper because the US is in a unique position of issuing debt in its own currency.


You can both be right. Old debt is cheaper to pay but new debt more expensive. And the government runs a deficit so new debt is always accruing.


New debt is only more expensive if you have to exchange something of value to obtain the USD to pay down the debt. But since the Fed can expand the money supply at will, it's essentially creating new USD out of thin air which can be used.

(This is how the US has been able to sustain such a large debt without any real consequences.)

What will happen though is that interest rates on T bills will rise, so yes, in that sense, it does eventually become "more expensive" to service new debt. But again it's in nominal dollar terms and so it's just a matter of issuing more dollars. The trick is to do this in a way that doesn't devalue the dollar thus triggering an inflationary cycle.


It’s an impossible trick. The chicks come home to roost. You can’t have an exponential forever.


It was raining for me :')


The "10x every 12 months" is pure salesman from sama. An engineer wouldn't do these extrapolations from little data in good faith.


He is talking about cost. Are you saying price didn’t go down 10 times the last 12 months? How much data is too little?


1 year of data is indeed too little if you are trying to forecast one year ahead. Also the pricing is set by OpenAI. We don't know their actual costs decreased by that factor. Only that they cut their prices.


We don't know OpenAI's actual cost, but presumably Sam does know.


I'm sure he does, but why would he ever tell the truth about it except by coincidence?


The retail price, or the actual cost to deliver? Those are not the same thing. Cost to deliver could actually mean something. Retail pricing is approximately meaningless.


In context, retail pricing is very meaningful. The next sentence is "lower prices lead to much more use". That is, price elasticity of demand is large, and here price is retail price.


Cost and price are two different things. Sam said cost, but really he meant price, because even by his own admission, ChatGPT's services are running at a loss

I know this is subjective but he is comparing GPT-4 to 4o. The new model definitely felt lighter and faster, so probably cheaper for them to maintain, but at the same time very often gave worse answers than GPT-4.


Compute costs are pretty much the same for high vram cards?


Very interesting anecdote!


This famously appears in the plot of the Three Body Problem scifi series by Liu Cixin!


didn’t work there, either


Nothing, but if you know perfect squares you will do 3 additions/subtractions instead of 2 products and 1 addition
