It's a good idea. I don't think secrecy is really necessitated aside from the idea that if the US government is the one spending the money, then they should reap the benefits. Ideally, I'd love to see many governments collabo

Yeah, I haven't looked into this much so far but I am extremely skeptical of the claims being made here. For one agent to become a tax collector and another to challenge the tax regime without such behavior being hard coded would be e

Very cool! It's a bit off topic, but I used to enjoy Google's travel app, which had a feature that found the shortest path between many popular tourism destinations in a city. That way as close as I'll personally come to rout

No. Game compatibility is still a big issue for many AAA titles, and the GPU is still not nearly as powerful as a dedicated graphics card from NVIDIA or AMD. However, this is a fantastic general purpose machine for things like light web bro

There are dozens of other apps that do that already, and I don't think this one needs to follow. Staying open source, free, and convenient for cash transactions is better in my opinion.

I don't think that's correct. As I understand it, O1 can use reinforcement learning to optimize its chain of thought, but each individual "thought" is still subject to the performance of the LLM. Therefore, while it can

I think they're suggesting that their method is still faster than most NeRF based methods? They have slightly worse image quality compared to ZipNeRF while getting 72x the frame rate. Or perhaps I'm misunderstanding...

Thanks for sharing this. Unreported downtime is a nasty, nasty look for any service provider. Unfortunately even large providers are often guilty of it given that SLAs can be expensive when they're violated.

Let me offer some feedback, since almost all of the comments here are negative. The latency is very good, almost too good since it seems to interrupt me often. So I think that's a great achievement for an open source model. However,

Essentially, there's data loss from audio -> text. Sometimes that loss is unimportant, but sometimes it meaningfully improves output quality. However, there are some other potential fringe benefits here: improving the latency of rep
