With modern banking regulations and security procedures. I'm not even sure how that would be possible. Every bank account I've opened requires me to give them my photo ID and social security number, which AI agents don't have.
Meaning, YOU would have to give them YOUR ID to vouch for your agent, so this just means a human would be opening a bank account...which isn't new.
We're a regulated entity, and this is an industry first. Magnolia (magnolia.financial) currently services all 50 US states and EU, and we're funded by draper, boost, and a bunch of others.
We're a real company :) (with health insurance!)

It's literally my job to know how it's possible, and to offer that up as a service with generous fees! Appreciate the input tho.
You are correct, KYC rules must be followed, and once you're off the waitlist (which we threw up last minute to make sure this system wasn't abused by an influx of demand) you'll be able to go through typical banking steps you're familiar with. We use persona as our KYC vendor and are highly sensitive about PII exposure.

An agent could open this bank account if you prefer to give it access to your social, passport, etc -- entirely up to the individual's risk profile.
What is new is a whole interface designed for an ai agent with guard rails to ensure it doesn't get itself in trouble by violating obscure BSA laws. Magnolia's job has always been to handle the compliance.
this is a very interesting workaround. our kyb policies would allow this. someone also brought up using a DAO to register a corporate entity. This could also work
You need to stop materially misrepresenting your product. The Agent does not have a bank account. The customer does, and is integrating an executable to perform activities in the individual account holder's name. I assure you. That is a different beast entirely than what you are describing, and finance is so prone to being misunderstood, you aren't doing anyone any good faith favors. In fact, as a former participant in the sector, you're engaging in the vice of finance people everywhere; equivocation through jargon and telling people what they want to hear to get them on your fee schedule.
Perhaps if you clarified the situation where the agent is owned by and controls the finances of an incorporated entity, which can be vouched for by trustees.
Agreed. After mastering the basic cascade, Mills Mess is a great beginner pattern to learn next, but there are way more challenging ones. Burke's Barage is another more challenging pattern.
This was posted before. Not really 3d printing. It's more of a quick casted mold maker, since it just uses a conventional CNC machine to "draw" the shape in sand and then it pours molten metal in the sand mold.
A clever enough idea, but the results are mixed. It's limited to fairly simple 2d shapes and the quality of the "prints" are quite poor and require a lot more post processing than true 3d metal printers.
Be sure you aren't using photo quality from your phone as your baseline for comparison. Spending the better part of a second on post-processing and enhancements isn't an option for a low-latency video feed.
Also, given how important the cameras are for high-end smartphones, and how damn many cameras the Vision Pro has, it wouldn't surprise me if the Vision Pro's budget per camera is actually less than on a flagship smartphone.
OP here. I mean the passthrough cameras, and I mean they suck compared to the expectation of this being "AR, but rendered in VR" (I also have a 'first impressions' post that goes into more detail on this).
They're definitely not as good as the cameras on my iPhone, either.
I think the author is being far too harsh. It most certainly isn't phone quality. It most certainly is a good enough quality to do most tasks. Eating, drinking, making coffee, etc... all work perfectly fine. Fine detail is less good (reading my phone is difficult but not impossible). All things considered, they probably aren't as good as they were sold, but they are still pretty amazing.
high pixel count != good quality. With all of the smartphone cameras, the sharpness in the details is poor that the image quality is comparable to a mirrorless with half the resolution or less. And then there's low light performance and artifacts which the computational photography introduces
I'm guessing he means it falls short of "reality". The adds convey the idea as if you are purely looking at the real world around you, but the quality is very much that of a camera -- and he concedes there are some limits to what you could do with that form factor.
The initial report he's responding to, one saying operating systems will try to schedule non critical tasks to times when electricity is cheaper, is actually a good idea.
For most consumers, power is cheap enough where that level of optimization isn't really noteworthy, but for larger industrial systems where power demand is a huge expense, that could actually save you a ton of money
And make sense energy wise. Sun is strong at day and sometimes there is strong wind ... sometimes none of both. But the main computation is done already, or soon mainly on GPUs. And there is the limiting factor currently not energy, but avaiable GPUs. So you want what you have to run 24h.
I am not sure if CPU tasks can make a huge difference. At least CPU tasks that are not needed now.
I remember that being the norm as early as about 15 years ago.
Thus the reason behind the security mantra, "If it's not secure by default, then it's not secure".
Because normies know very little, if anything, about IT security. And to be fair, they shouldn't have to. When you buy a house or a car, how often do you take time to examine the mechanism in the door locks, and check to see how easy it is to pick them? Or do you rely on the locks generally being secure, albiet far from Fort Knox-grade.
That is true, BUT people are willing to learn about securing their cars and houses. They will take precautions. People do change their locks, buy security systems for their cars take care that they do not leave keys lying around. They are willing to make an effort to lock their doors, keep and eye on things. They will avoid buying things with weak security.
When it comes to IT they expect someone else to do it. The problem is no one else cares about your security as much as you do.
No, I started last year, by myself, didn't actually know this organisation, I just get training locks on shops and unlock them, I also see that they are specifically in US, I am from Italy, so there is no one of them around me :(.
Is that even logistically possible for rivals at this point?
You think AMD doesn't want to carve out a chunk of that pie?
What Nvidia is doing is hard and the engineers with the skill to design those chips are few far between. I'm sure Nvidia's already hired most of the best in the business.
Anyone who wants to unseat Nvidia will need very talented people, who aren't cheap, and that means massive investment capital which largely doesn't exist.
If you look at graphics performance, AMD already is pretty much on par with Nvidia. All of the math with graphics and ML is largely the same.
The thing that is missing is AMD focusing their software engineers that develop the drivers, and making them put work into RoCM to make it usable across all cards, all driver versions, like with NVIDIA.
That's true. AMD does make some attractive Radeon cards.
However, the real killer feature now is CUDA. Everyone's coding for CUDA, which AMD's hardware doesn't support, so even if they have a GPU that's on par with Nvidia, most libraries still can't make full use of it.
