- pants2In High School my friends and I made a movie that was the culmination of all our filmmaking talent and fun. It was about a guy who finds an old pair of leather pants that turns him into his ancestor, a viking, and that viking goes to school... Sounds dumb but it was truly hilarious in the late stage edits that I saw! The hard drive of that computer died during the final render and we weren't able to recover it. Tragic!
- Gemini is already the name of a Greek god, a constellation, a space mission, a crypto exchange, an astrological sign, a car, and a comic villain! How will we ever figure out which one someone is talking about?
- It's pretty sad that we've come to this. What if we had nothing? Instead of treating students like criminals we treat them like complex humans and put the money into providing support and welfare for students?
My dad was in the gun club at his high school and brought a rifle to class regularly. It was fine. Guns aren't the problem.
- In the early 2010s I had a couple friends working at a biotech startup with a moonshot cancer cure. They had amazing results in animal testing, and had raised just enough funding to do a first human trial on a terminal patient.
That patient was hit and killed by a car two days after finishing their treatment.
Along with the CEO's stubborn refusal to give up any more equity in the company, they went under, and the world will never know if that treatment worked.
- ChatGPT can already do this natively FWIW
- I'd watch a game show where you put a variety of math nerds on each team and watch them argue about the optimal strategy. Who's strategy will win? The quant analyst or the bioinformatician? Tune in next week!
- If it's intelligence + speed you want, nothing comes close to GPT-OSS-120B on Cerebras or Groq.
However, this looks like it has great potential for cost-effectiveness. As of today it's free to use over API on OpenRouter, so a bit unclear what it'll cost when it's not free, but free is free!
- One would hope for a more technical solution to HFT than willful ignorance lol. For example, they could batch up orders every second and randomize them.
- This is my experience as well in my personal account, however at work given we were already paying for Google Cloud it was easy enough to connect a GCP account.
But somehow personally even though I'm a paying Google One subscriber and have a GCP billing account with a credit card, I get confusing errors when trying to use the Gemini API
- Not OP, but Go has some major advantages in cryptography:
1. Well-supported standard libraries generally written by Google
2. Major projects like Vault and K8s that use those implementations and publish new stuff
3. Primary client language for many blockchains, bringing cryptography contributions from the likes of Ethereum Foundation, Tendermint, Algorand, ZK rollups, etc
- After 10 minutes of digging I managed to find one single screenshot of an actual game built with it. Isn't that the first thing a developer wants to see?
https://unity.com/ leads with demos.
https://kaijuengine.org/ leads with a block of text claiming it renders cubes faster than Unity.
- The ring weighs approximately 1/1000th what a MacBook pro does. If it really lasts for years it's a tiny, tiny amount of e-waste.
- Given it's doing nothing when not activated, I would imagine it heavily depends on how often you're using it. Still would be nice to be able to say "1,000 hours of recording" or something like that
- If we're going off of a "share of budget" metric then the fastest way to reduce debt share is to increase spending in other areas!
- There's certainly a reason for the trend of always searching "X Reddit" to get real people's opinions but that's steadily going away.
Reddit certainly started going downhill once they realized they could actually be a public company and make tons of money. Their fate was sealed when they got rid of the user-centric apps like Alien Blue to force their gamified apps ("keep your 18 day streak going!")
Other public platforms like Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, and Xitter certainly haven't cared much to try to eliminate AI slop and if anything have embraced it. I can't see Reddit doing anything differently.
- Nothing off the top of my head! If you find anything good let me know. GRPO is a training technique likely not exactly what you'd do for benchmarking, but it's interesting to read about anyway. Glad I cuold help
- Yeah - things are easy when you can objectively score an output, otherwise as you said you'll probably need another LLM to score it. For summaries you can try to make that somewhat more objective, like length and "8/10 key points are covered in this summary."
This is a real training method (like Group Relative Policy Optimization), so it's a legitimate approach.
- Just grab the top ~30 models on OpenRouter[1] and test them all. If that's too expensive make a sample 'screening' benchmark that's just a few of the hardest problems to see if it's even worth the full benchmark.
- Well, I'm interested in AV1 as a videographer but hadn't heard of it before. Without 'codec' in the title I would have thought it was networking related.
Re: HDR - not the same thing. HDR has been around for decades and every TV in every electronics store blasts you with HDR10 demos. It's well known. AV1 is extremely niche and deserves 2 words to describe it.
- Though in the original title AV1 could be anything if you don't know it's a codec. How about:
"AV1 open video codec now powers 30% of Netflix viewing, adds HDR10+ and film grain synthesis"
