Yep I have an autonomous task where it has been running for 8 hours now and counting. It compacts context all the time. I’m pretty skeptical of the quality in long sessions like this so I have to run a follow on session to critically examin

I’m telling it to use red/green tdd [1] and it will write test that don’t fail and then says “ah the issue is already fixed” and then move on. You really have to watch it very closely. I’m having a huge problem with bad tests in my sys

Strong disagree. There absolutely are “more humane” methods but they are still not humane. Forced separation of mothers from their children (standard practice) and killing the animals before their natural death are two inhumane features of

Since their passengers (women in this case) on average earn less, that customer base would be less likely to drive up the price. Also probably only a small percentage of the customers would choose this.

I’m in the US in the Bay Area. Talking to strangers is not the norm but plenty of people are responsive and happy to talk if you engage them. Break the norms and see how it goes!

After a bad breakup in 2015, I followed some advice from the socialskills subreddit to “talk to everyone” so that you get better at talking to women you might want to date. The advice was not to only talk to attractive people but everyone.

I was going to say - with agents the only part I actually have to do is design. Well, and testing. But they don’t really do design work so much as architecture selection if you provide a design.

I was attending Bay Area Reprap Club meetings in 2010! Got my first printer (Ultimaker V1) in 2011. My how things have changed. We just got a second Bambu H2D Pro at work. Incredible machine.

It never went away. The Voron continues to be a popular DIY 3D printer, tho many people choose to buy ready-made printers.

Amazingly I just did the same thing! Only with AISHELL. It needs work. I used the encoder from the Meta MMS model. https://github.com/sequoia-hope/mandarin-practice

Amazing that Tesla announced the next generation roadster and sold pre-orders which I think cost $100k and then just never released it and there seems to be no indication (last I checked) that it ever will be.

Didn’t the original world models paper do some training in latent space? (Edit: yes[1]) I think robots imagining the next step (in latent space) will be useful. It’s useful for people. A great way to validate that a robot is properly imagin

To be fair, the question “what will change” does not presume the changes will be positive. I think it’s the right question to ask, because change is coming whether we like it or not. While we do have agency, there are large forces at play w

Same. Can’t ignore the messages when they’re all in one place, which makes hitting unsubscribe easier.

My big takeaway was that a great way AI could help would be to aide in decompiling Eloquence, though I don’t know if there are gotchas there. I found some sample audio from Eloquence. I like this type of voice! https://youtu.be&#

Run out of training data? They’re going to put these things in humanoids (they are weirdly cheap now) and record high resolution video and other sensor data of real world tasks and train huge multimodal Vision Language Action models etc. Th

There’s plenty on eBay? But at the end of your comment you say “a rate cheaper than new” so maybe you mean you’d love to buy a discounted one. But they do seem to be available used.

Right but it is widely acknowledged that despite acceptance (we lack other options) this process eventually degrades the quality of the tool as successive waves of product managers decide “just a little bit more advertisement”.

I wonder how much of their trouble comes from other failures in their plan (avoiding the use of pre-made maps and single city taxi services in favor of a system intended to drive in unseen cities) vs how much comes from vision. There are c

Ask! 5.2 says August 2025.

Was that for 5.1 or 5.2? I recall that info spreading after 5.1’s release, I guess I naively assumed 5.2 was a delayed base model update.

The worst is ChatGPT voice mode. It tries so hard to be casual that it just makes it tedious to talk to.

I’ve come to appreciate that there is a new totally valid (imo) kind of software development one can do now where you simply do not read the code at all. I do this when prototyping things with vibe coding for example for personal use, and

They have been serving enterprise markets for a long time. Back in 2020-2021 when there was a chip shortage, Raspberry Pi shorted their consumer availability to make sure enterprise customers could still get compute modules. The fusible bit

I watched some behind the scenes videos about Valve’s Steam Frame development, and it doesn’t seem like they have a very big hardware team.
