The idea that anyone is going to book a vacation this way is ridiculous. Vacations take extensive thought. There’s no way a voice interface would work for this even if it was the Star Trek computer.

No one ever shows what these should and could actually be used for - incredibly boring and repetitive tasks. "Hey rabbit, respond to the support ticket you just told me about with XYZ". "Hey rabbit, find all of the sales meetings I had last week, cross reference the emails of the attendees with existing emails threads, and then generate follow ups for each. Keep them short, to the point, and read them back to me befo…

GPT Store would probably have something like that soon.

I feel like the R1 is getting a lot of weird hate here on HN. I get it, it's a bit pretentious and wants to be very Apple-like, yadda yadda. Probably not that much value generation, it's overpriced, and no one wants to carry another thing in their pocket. And yes, the company will likely go bankrupt (or pivot into something less exciting). It's also all in the cloud (no local inference) so it doesn't really even "do"…

> if I wanted to do a simple find-and-replace on my 2021 M1, I'd have to use something like grep (a tool originally written by Ken Thompson in 1973—a half century before my laptop was built) and look up flags and syntax I inevitably constantly forget. We should have been past this at least 15 years ago. Pretty much any text editor worth its salt has find and replace, regex compatible, features. Even the extremely rud…

I'd also imagine the time complexities of string rewriting systems are significantly more efficient than passing it off to an llm.

Why not burn a couple hundred watts to do find and replace (/s)?

Assistants are cool, but I want better tools . Give me a timeline with all my emails, chats, documents, and pictures shown together. Full text search on my entire browsing history. Exporting my Booking.com search results as a spreadsheet. Controlling my phone from my desktop, and vice versa. As a bonus, those capabilities don't require uploading your data to the cloud or risking LLM hallucinations.

> Exporting my Booking.com search results as a spreadsheet. Yeah except they actively don’t want you to have access to your data. They want you locked in to their shitty platform. And these companies will actually fight your ability to get data out, like Reddit or Twitter when they shut down their public APIs.

They can want all they want, any human-readable information is now machine readable, just parse everything that's ever come across your screen.

> people Vlog on the sidewalk and do TikTok videos in the subway Not without me giving them the "Have you escaped from an institution" look they don't. And you judge yourself as you judge others. If I were to say "Add eggs to shopping list" on the bus, I'd instantly feel the stares of a dozen people as I look on my phone in shame (That's whether or not I'm alone on the bus). And my shame is justified too.

I wouldn't do it on the bus, because it's just rude. But I'd do it in the car, or the kitchen, if it was reliable and didn't require sharing anything with anyone.

Yes if it's 100% reliable and I'm alone then I'd have a low treshold. But it feels weird having a UX that works when I'm alone and isn't accessible when I'm not. On your phone you can just enter "eggs" to your shopping list. But if devices move away from the general purpose input UX, then you'd have to talk to it on the bus. And when it's only 90% reliable you'd have people shouting shopping lists on buses...

I don't think he touched the scroll wheel in the keynote. Why is it there? What does it do? I found it awkward he scrolled by touching the screen across the damn scroll wheel. Just use it. At least in the keynote. And then there are so many questions about the hardware capabilities of this device: - where is the inference running? I don't believe it's on the device. And if it's in the cloud then why make the claim it…

Potentially the wheel isn't yet functional? Not sure there are off the shelf parts that fits.

Few points:

- Not sure if people would want to "talk to" a device in public.

- Anything and more that this device do can be done by a smart phone that people already have.

- I feel like people prefer using a UI interface instead of speech.An example to this behavior might be using delivery apps instead of calling a restaurant.

- Looks too wide to fit into most pockets.
