I did my PhD in theoretical computer science about the relationship between real-world networks and an underlying hyperbolic geometry.

Apart from that Iā€™m also interested in all things iOS and neovim.

@stroughtonsmith Ah, apparently I can answer my own question: Someone did ask about that in the comments and Brian confirmed that it only connects to MacBooks with Apple Silicon and not to Macs.

Unfortunately, that immediately reduces my interest in the product significantly. I'm absolutely happy with my M1 Mac Mini and don't want to by a MacBook in addition to AVP, nor do I want to use AVP without access to my Mac.

Wonder if that will be lifted at some point but so far that's disappointing.

@stroughtonsmith Brian Tong mentioned in his latest video that Vision Pro's Mac Virtual Display feature only works with MacBooks and specifically excluded Mac Studios or Mac Minis. I didn't find anything official from Apple but that sounds weird to me. Do you have some insights about compatibility here?

The very first citation in this stupid letter, https://futureoflife.org/open-letter/pause-giant-ai-experiments/, is to our #StochasticParrots Paper,

"AI systems with human-competitive intelligence can pose profound risks to society and humanity, as shown by extensive research[1]"

EXCEPT

that one of the main points we make in the paper is that one of the biggest harms of large language models, is caused by CLAIMING that LLMs have "human-competitive intelligence."

They basically say the opposite of what we say and cite our paper?

Pause Giant AI Experiments: An Open Letter - Future of Life Institute

We call on all AI labs to immediately pause for at least 6 months the training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4.

@simonbs Hey! Since you were wondering how promoting your apps on Mastodon will look like, maybe this instance is something to look at: https://indieapps.space/about

Finally, a new version!

This one has lots of stuff in it. I'm not going to be adding any more features now before the 1.0 release, and just focus on bugfixing and some minor polish for a little while.

Let's see whether the new beta fixes the annoying 'new beta' alert...

I feel like C++ makes it way easier to write performant code than Swift.

I mean Swift is supposed to be very performant (and no doubt is a powerful language) but there is a notable difference to C++, performance-wise.

Is there a Mastodon client for iOS that remembers what toot in my timeline I've read last and lets me continue to read from there? I don't like to start at the latest toot and scroll to the one I remember to be the last I've seen.
