I’m on the IOS 27 beta and Siri did those two tasks (weather/phone) flawlessly. It’s a lot better than it used to be.


Thanks for trying that! Very interesting.

Can you say this to it: "Hey Siri [wait for it to come up] - please send me an email with the temperature right now so I have it for my records." and see if it can complete the task without any backtalk or misunderstanding, and if you get exactly what you asked for. (It's a really clear request.) Should be 1 statement, no clarification, conversation, random search results, ("Here's what I found!"), etc.

A normal frontier model can do that - or Siri can do it if it is properly connected to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, or any other frontier AI - but previously it was never properly connected.

If it can do this task, I might have to look into this again. It counts as a success if it sends yourself any email with the current temperature and you actually get it (it can include whatever other text in the email), and a failure if it talks back, says "here's what I found", says it can't, asks you any question, sends you an email that doesn't actually contain the current temperature, just reads you the temperature and then asks if you want it to send an email, etc. Should be 1 shot.

let me know if it works!


It brings up a preview of the email and you have to tap or tell it to send it from there but otherwise it worked for this as well.

thanks! useful.


Compared to Apple/DEC/Sun/SGI, the Intel ecosystem was remarkably open.


Open to Microsoft…


That’s an argument against Microsoft, not Intel. Intel’s main anti-competitive sin was against rival CPU/chipset/graphics manufacturers.


They commoditized their compliment, but made sure their chips only worked with their accessory products, particularly in the 70s


Just because Fox News crowed about it doesn’t mean it’s bad journalism. Arguably toeing the party line is what resulted in Democrats being in that situation (fielding a weaker candidate against Trump) in the first place.


Framing someone who supports democracy vs someone who tried to overturn a free and fair election as a 'weaker' candidate is kind of the problem though. In any sane world, you'd support a literal corpse over a guy who does not want there to be free and fair elections.


> In any sane world, you'd support a literal corpse over a guy who does not want there to be free and fair elections.

No, you’d be serious about picking the best candidate you’ve got to stand up against the formidable foe. If all you’ve got is a corpse you might as well not bother.


If your argument is that people must choose between the devil and the deep blue sea as a repeated excuse for fielding a candidate that isn't all that popular or optimal.... Well then you're going to lose to the devil from time in the binary shitflinging that is the american political system.


It's not really just framing though, it was reality. An election is a popularity contest, not a morality detector. Everybody knew Biden was (by then) a wet noodle that could not hold his own against Trump.


You’ll find no disagreement from me that January 6th should, at the very least, have resulted in a ban from serving in public office, but we don’t live there. Which corpse would you rather have, one rank with Biden admin inflation/immigration concerns, or perhaps a bit fresher one?


The MBPs didn’t run too hot, the Nvidia GPUs used an underfill that stopped providing structural support at a relatively normal temperature for GPUs (60-80 degrees C).

GPU failures due to this also happened on Dell/HP/Sony laptops, some desktop models, as well as early models of the PS3.

The second one is hilarious!


Who is the real inventor in your opinion?


International shipping from China to the US is subsidized by USPS under the Universal Postal Union rules since China is classified as a developing country. Terminal dues to the US have been increasing over the last 5 years to compensate for this.

It's still crazy to me that we classify the second largest economy as a developing country. Especially when said "developing" country is trying to flex it's muscles over the world stage and attack its neighbors.

China can either remain a developing country subject to rules imposed by developed countries. Or it can join the developed countries and shape those rules. It can't do both.


Ever seen Mob Psycho 100?


Zero export inverters are grid-tied but monitor the meter/CTs for load changes in order to curtail solar production/shift it to battery charging. I think they can technically backfeed a little bit if load is suddenly dumped depending on the inverter response time. Some have a secondary hard disconnect for additional protection.

Thanks for the info, that clears things up!


> You're also ignoring that Singapore is only half the size of Texas while having a similar number of people living in it.

Try again, Texas is roughly _1000x_ larger than Singapore with 5x the population.
