@kevinweil Hi, as the owner/maintainer of https://t.co/69gOJM7Ci7, this is a dramatic misrepresentation. GPT-5 found references, which solved these problems, that I personally was unaware of.
The 'open' status only means I personally am unaware of a paper which solves it.
I tried the new Meta Ray-Ban Display “Hypernova" glasses that Meta just announced (thanks for the demo @ahimel!)
TL;DR it's a really well-executed take on a simple idea: a crisp heads-up display with precise micro-gesture control of mini apps
My quick takeaways from the demo I got:
1/ The monocular heads-up display (yup, Google Glass vibes!) is surprisingly usable despite "only" 20 deg FOV; pretty crisp and bright enough even in broad daylight; with enough space for fully functional widgets that are much bigger than anything you could fit on a watch display
(BTW, the display specs are worth mentioning because they are nuts: 5,000 nits peak brightness + resolution of 42 PPD… vs. 34 PPD on Vision Pro)
2/ Meta is shipping their neural interface wristband (for micro-gesture control) much earlier than I expected; it’s by far the most mind-blowing part of the product and might be setting the standard for all smart/AR glasses to come:
By sliding your thumb over your index finger, you get a 4-way mini touchpad that allows you to really easily navigate around the UI + pinch to select + pinch and turn for volume/zoom + handwriting recognition on any surface (this last one won't launch right away, but I tried and it actually really works)
3/ The voice assistant experience has a clever twist: a dedicated double thumb tap micro-gesture (instead of an annoying wakeword) and mics that support low-volume speech so you can almost just whisper to the glasses
4/ To me, the magic of the experience came down to the fact that it felt much more effortless than I expected; I can use simple apps without taking the phone out of my pocket – reading & replying to messages, controlling music, walking navigation, fly through ‘snackable’ content
5/ One of Meta's biggest technical achievements on this product is zero light leakage from waveguides; this makes them much more polished and socially acceptable (folks who have been around AR glasses will know this is a big deal)
6/ Really enjoying the fact that Meta Ray-Ban Display (including the neural band) is conveniently priced at the same $799 as Apple Watch Ultra :)
P.S. Here’s my vote: would love to see Meta launching an app store for these glasses sooner rather than later — and match it with a strong developer push. This new category deserves the momentum.

Hi, Twitter Fam just wanted to say our final good byes. It’s been a pleasure serving you this past 11 years. Twitter really made us feel apart of the culture and we will never forget that. 🎤🎤 drop
If you're at EMNLP 2022, check out our paper titled
"Improving Zero-Shot Event Extraction via Sentence Simplification" with @DMfun and @profnaren presented at W1(CASE).
In this paper, we formulate event extraction as a reading comprehension task.
We find that RC systems perform better at event extraction on simplified candidates than on original candidates. This result is somewhat surprising given how proficient BERT-based models have become at reading comprehension.
ChatGPT: This sentence mentions two people: Shuttle veteran Fred Gregory and NASA executive Fred Gregory. The sentence indicates that Fred Gregory is a Shuttle veteran and a NASA executive, and that he has been appointed to a board.
@NeurIPSConf I paid for full registration, but can’t access the virtual conference because I no longer have access to the email id I registered with. Contacted IT support twice. Can you please loop in the relevant people to resolve this asap?
Additional analysis in our paper.
