The point of benchmarking that is checking for hallucinations and overfitting. Does the model actually check the picture to count the legs or does it just see it's a dog and answer four because it knows dogs usually has four legs?

It's a perfectly valid benchmark and very telling.


Very telling of what?


Telling of where the boundary of competence is for these models. And to show that these models aren't doing what most expect them to be doing, i.e. not counting legs, and maybe instead inferring information based on the overall image (dogs usually have 4 legs) to the detriment of find grained or out-of-distribution tasks.


It works fine for me using Movistar


I've noticed my iPhone get hot the most while using the camera. Especially while taking video, but after a few photos it gets hot as well. I was on vacations last week in a tropical country and took a lot of photos with my 16 Pro and it gets so hot after just a few photos that it starts lagging A LOT due to the throttling.

I'm sure this is handy for LLM usage, but this was a problem before those were a thing I'd say.


I have the same case, iPhone 16 pro is getting really hot when taking photos and videos it’s unbearable. I will change my phone for that reason, the battery melts right away … I noticed something though, when taking a picture with the x5 camera if I cover the main lens the brightness changes. So I think the iPhone now merges the two stream to enhance quality. That wasn’t the case before and that might be why the phone is getting hot


My 16 pro is frustratingly laggy taking photos all the time, particularly from the lock screen. It's a little better from the camera app.


The first line of the articles says "seven-millionths of a second", which would be 1/7μs or 0,14μs. They also mention that the camera shot 16 frames in that period, so that would be once every 0,00875μs or once every 8,75ns

Youtubers are a couple of magnitudes away from that, AFAIK


I would say you described "one seven millionth" of a second (1/7,000,000 s)

"Seven millionths" would be 7/1,000,000 s (7μs). They take 20 to 40 images in that period using 7 cameras, so any given camera might be as low as 1.4μs per frame.


Saying ~140k photos per second would have been a more understanding stat if only the article framed it that way.


Yes, but they said seven-millionths of a second, not seven millionths of a second. Technically they're right that that's what it means, but I'd expect an editor to recommend against that phrasing in favor of the one you used to avoid confusion.


Well, it's true that the article says "seven-millionths".

I would guess it's a lot more likely that this is an editing failure, introducing a hyphen where no hyphen should be, than that they meant to divide a second into seven million equal parts.

For one thing, as SECProto alludes to, English would normally require you to say "less than a seven-millionth of a second" if that was what you meant. There's no such thing as saying "less than weeks". You have to specify less than how many weeks.

    less than (seven) (millionths of a second)
ordinary grammar, ordinary unit choice

    less than (seven millionths of a second)
improper grammar, bizarre unit choice.


I agree based on the whole sentence in the article that that was probably an editing error.


The slow mo guys did a video [1] at 10 trillion FPS. They also recently did another video [2] at 5,000,000 FPS. Their other videos vary between 50,000 FPS and 850,000 FPS.

Edit: They mention in [2] that the Phantom camera they have can go to a 95ns exposure up to 1,750,000 FPS.

The 10 trillion FPS number comes from the fact that they’re taking advantage of a strobing effect in the light they’re filming, such that if the strobe is happening at (for example) 1000Hz, they can get a frame at time T, then a frame at time T + 1.00000000001ms, then T + 2.00000000002ms, and so on. Then you stitch it together and it looks like they’re a 10-trillionth of a second apart.

No camera is taking in 10 trillion frames of data per second.


"electron beam that can be broken down into customized pulses" also sounds superficially like strobing.


Not with X-rays they aren't.


I understood the article just fine, despite the spurious hyphen. The HN title could be improved immensely if it just said 7 microseconds.


I think this is incorrect reading of the numbers

I've never heard of `{number} {plural magnitude}` meaning `mag / number`. I've only ever seen it mean `number * mag`. As in 3-thousandths == 3 * 0.001 not 0.001 / 3.

7 * 0.001ms = 0.007ms or 7us or 7000ns.


I even went back to check the post date, but it’s from today and yet they do have a “book a call” button. I don’t get it. Is this just marketing?


It's addressed in the article.


“ No sales calls, except for a short 'discovery call' if absolutely needed.”

But it’s the default call to action for bigger inquiries


In my experience, most enterprise leads will still cold email you with their requirements. It's relatively rare for me to receive a cold booking or cold trial, but this is there to not lose those leads who would otherwise not send that cold email. The point of #nocalls is to dip out of the dance, not all communication.


They still provide a price and the call is optional.


It's basically how the Apple Vision Pro mainly works.


I didn't know about `taskpolicy`, I'll add it to my list. It will be handy now that it's getting hot around here for long running commands that I don't mind waiting for, Apple Silicon Macs run cooler than Intel's but they can still get very hot when maxed out.


Remote from Europe is ok?


Can’t find any iOS roles in the list but you are mentioning it in the comment, is the role already filled?


Same here. I did see on LinkedIn that Ramp already has a fully fledged iOS team though, can't imagine needing that much more head count.


I switched to WezTerm a few months ago after setting up a new computer and missing an easy way to share the iTerm2 config between my computers just like I do with most of my other tools that use dotfiles.

It’s a very nice application, easy to configure, very customisable, stable. I’ve only have experienced one bug with app, I opened an issue in GH and Wez had a nightly version with a fix in just a few hours.

If you haven’t check it out yet, I highly recommend it.
