Spatial Intelligence is the fusion of the virtual and physical worlds.

Set Codex to this and don't ever look back

@romainhuet @axeldelafosse @thsottiaux @ajambrosino Push notifications to a phone app

@axeldelafosse @thsottiaux @ajambrosino Love to hear it! Excited to get remote connections out to everyone. What would you like Codex to ship next?

You will soon be able to connect the Codex app to a remote host 👀 It means that you can run your threads in YOLO mode in a VM while using the nice GUI! Thanks @thsottiaux @ajambrosino and team. This is why Codex and the Codex App Server are awesome. Nice job 👏

Its finally come!

More exciting news coming out of @neuralink . It looks like it's confirmed that they can take out and replace BCIs for possible future upgrades. 🦾🧠

Lol, their answer to the low end front end work is guidance on how to use extensive prompting and visual guidance to make an interface. Has anyone had issues with the front end work using this much guidance? The issue is that we have to use tons of domain specific guidance to get it to produce unique feeling front ends. This isnt 2025 anymore. Models are supposed to handle creativity themselves. At the very least ask some questions in planning mode to aeed the creativity.

This was a great take yesterday, Mark, and I dont think enough people are talking about. I think everyone will have humanoids, but i dont think that will be the end all for managing your home. Home robotics will become what smarthome/IoT devices are now (a space so abundant its hard to navigate). This will happen whether home construction gets redesigned or not. What missing is a centralized AI that lives locally in the home, and is given eyes that give it a geometrically accurate spatial understanding of the entire home environment. Then every robots has a digital twin and higher-order intelligence to assimilate with. I've been building this for the past year, and I'm almost finished with the beta product. If you (or anyone you know) are exploring this space, I'd love to show it to you.

Doesn’t take into account that there is value to redesigning homes and other spaces so humans have more and better living space Just like warehouses were redesigned to optimize speed/storage and access. Homes, offices and other spaces can be redesigned Just because a humanoid can do the job, it doesn’t mean it’s the optimal robot for the job and space utilization Why wouldn’t you use a smaller, less expensive, easier to maintain robot that has an environment it was designed for ?

To clarify, I'm not having issues with playback at all. Im referring to the new(er) break reminder feature that pops up and suggests a break after watching for X time. It pops up when I reopen the app (that I previously closed after oausing a video) rather than [just] while I'm watching videos. I have rebooted my phone since I started seeing this issue. Reinstalling the app would be kind of a lame solution..

@MrFiberNet Hey there! Is this happening across devices? Try reinstalling the app and restarting your device as these usually do the trick. More troubleshooting steps here: goo.gle/4bBLOXK

Hey @YouTube your Break Reminder is a bit broken. It cant differentiate between watching a video in the foreground, and a video paused with the app in the background (not being used). Now every time i return to the app to keep watching something after a long period, it asks me to take a break.

Yes but the insane part is keeping it isolated as it goes through the etching/fab process. Thats why the whole rooms are currently kept clean. Transporting wafers into the space should be 'easy' enough. But keeping them isolated while processing them into chips is the insane part of this claim. I'm not one to discount Elon, and if he thinks it can be done, its likely he can do it. But this is one of his most WILD claims. Watch a video of the ASML machines to see how precise the mechanics are. Small particles could derail whole mechanisms or cause unintentional burns.

@wholemars Tesla aims to prioritize wafer-level isolation and enclosed transport over strict ambient cleanliness (clean rooms) for its Terafab.

I have a hard time imagining how this could be possible

@hamids @wholemars That delta is in timelines, not with whats possible. Not sure I've ever heard him claim something is possible [and he plans on doing it] and it not eventually being done (with the exception of 100% automation in the tesla factories).

@wholemars Yes but there’s a 2 order of magnitude delta (100x) between what he says and what he does/delivers.

The Verge has lost its way. Several months ago, they interviewed me for 45 minutes about Apple Vision Pro. I spent 43 minutes talking about what I love, and 2 minutes on what I’d change. They twisted parts of those 2 minutes and cut everything positive I said. To make it worse, the author opened the interview by saying they were biased against headsets. I miss the old Verge. The one that was fun. The one that spotlighted tech instead of throwing shade.

Generating profit is not a metric for engineering progress

They realized Real World Metaverse is what will drive adoption. Game worlds arent new. This was a fundamental flaw in their approach.

@AndyZeGerman @seanking483345 Yeah idk what you're talking about here. My whole screen blinks read with an icon and text and the car startles you with the loud beeping. Its scared passengers in both the front and back seat (model y)

@seanking483345 Try without listening to music and let someone drive who hasn't used it before.

I will get a ton of blowback for what I am about to say, but here goes. I have let people use FSD on all of my Teslas since I first got it. Over all the years I have seen the same issue over and over again. When they are unfamiliar, they did not notice when it disengaged. The sound of disengagement is not very loud and can easily be missed, when inexperienced. I am not saying that Tesla was at fault, but it would be nice to have a default setting and clear voice and visual announcement, that FSD has been disengaged. Have said so in my live streams as well. Then there could be an advanced setting where you turn that "off" to basically what it is right now. It can be missed for beginners, as some touch the wheel or tap the brakes, not knowing that they actually disengaged. Again, I said what I said, but if you disagree, I ask you to let some none Tesla drivers drive your car.

@bilawalsidhu Im looking forward this unlocking video responses and explanations. Rather than an LLM just talking back to you, it talks AND shows you. Like the aliens in Three Body Problem showing humans where they came from.

We're really gonna have personalized AI videos -- generated just-in-time -- moments before you actually scroll to them on your feed. Plug in an algo like tiktok that can reverse engineer your soul, and good lord... you've got mountain dew straight to the vein.

@IamMiaChase @Microsoft Idling in the sense that I wasn't actively using any features (still getting notifications and such). The program itself hasn't been directly accessed in ~a week

@MrFiberNet @Microsoft is that just idling, or were you using screen mirroring or message sync

Windows phone link using over a GB of ram is objectively crazy.. @Microsoft ya really need to rethink software efficiency

@FredLambert Except they said it had autopilot on, not fsd.

Tesla fans using the “4-second disengagement” as a gotcha are missing the forest for the trees. Yes, the driver was technically in control of the vehicle at the moment of impact. But she was in control because FSD was already failing by driving too fast ahead of this sharp turn — it was heading straight into a concrete barrier at highway speed with no sign of correcting. Everyone who has frequently used FSD or Autopilot and paints this 4-second disengagement as a “gotcha” moment is being disengenous, and that includes Elon Musk. I have tens of thousands of miles on FSD, and I’ve experienced the system coming too fast into a turn at least half a dozen times. We’ve said this before and we’ll keep saying it: the problem with FSD isn’t what happens when the driver is paying attention and the system works. The problem is what happens when the system gives you every reason to trust it, and then suddenly doesn’t work. The driver has to recognize the failure, assess the situation, decide on a correction, and physically execute it, all in less time than the system needs to create the danger. Musk and Tesla’s propagandists can point to the logs all they want. The video shows what actually matters: FSD approaching a standard highway curve at full speed with zero indication it was going to navigate it. That’s the failure. Everything that happened after, including the panicked disengagement, is a consequence of that failure. The framing that this was “manual driving, not FSD” is technically true for the final 4 seconds and deeply dishonest about the full sequence of events. It’s exactly the kind of liability shell game that courts are increasingly rejecting, as that $243 million verdict makes clear. Tesla created the system, sold it as “Full Self-Driving,” and profits from the ambiguity. At some point, it has to own the consequences.

Powell: "The thing a good number of people on the committee are concerned about is the very very low level of job creation. If you adjust what has been the trend job creation over the past 6 months for what we think is the overstatement due to overcounting, effectively there is 0 net job creation in the private sector"

Most people dont know these were the early logic processors. Unbelievable that we both figured out to harness a fundamental force and extrapolate computation, and have now shrunk this setup down SO small that the only way we can add more transistors is to go 3d.

@IterIntellectus Imagine all the new stimuli shes taking in, even just laying there

the daughter spent one hour on the bed today staring at the ceiling without making a sound. fully (un?)conscious, can't move or talk or communicate anything. just trapped in a body that doesnt work yet i'd go insane. genuinely. i think about this more than i should
