Paper: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10304148 My sense is that the authors' focus was on stabilizing the vehicle in varying conditions (ocean currents), and the training time needed to achieve that, rather

That is quite interesting. Maybe they're trying to keep it from manifesting additional people - if the user requests a scene where logically more people are present than visible (maybe it's first-person, or the view from the fron

I heard a rumor somewhere that Stadia ran on MI25s - not sure if that's true but certainly there have been a lot of them floating around on eBay in the past year.

I don't think HN is sleeping on generative AI - it's been fairly prevalent near the top of the front page. I agree that some creative fields are going to start feeling real impacts, not necessarily because models have gotten super

Runs pretty well (20-100 fps depending on the scene) for me on both Firefox 120.1.1 on Android 14 (Pixel 7; smartphone preset) and Firefox 120.0.1 on Fedora 39 (R7 5800, 64 GB memory, RX 6600 XT; 1440p; desktop preset).

I find group chats to be a pretty excellent solution, though I am less gregarious than average. Occasionally I post something in multiple groups or create a new "temporary" group in order to share it with people from different cir

There's another startup, Aptera, which is ostensibly still working towards producing a vehicle using Elaphe hub motors. Interestingly they are efficiency focused so I wonder how the motors are working out for them in that respect.

Construction labor productivity in the US has been _decreasing_ since the 60s (in contrast to pretty much every other sector)[0]; it's crazy and the subject of much conversation. Freakonomics Radio recently did an episode on the subje

It's also used, at least for the high resolution precipitation forecast, in the default Android weather app (which is really part of the "Google" app situation).

I bolted a linear rail to my 3D printer next to the nozzle and clamped a pen to it, so it applies constant pressure (due to gravity) and there's less risk of destroying the pen/paper. The downside is that lifting the pen is very

We've found Flan-T5 to be useful for text-to-text (mostly document QA). Haven't done a lot of testing on fine-tuning yet though.

Ray provides integrations for PyTorch and a variety of other frameworks, but doesn't depend on them (unless you're using those integrations of course). The core library is just general purpose distributed compute.

The problem with Wirecutter (eventually - years ago I used it fairly regularly) was that the reviews could not compete with Reddit/Youtube/etc. It worked if I just wanted something generic and half decent, and didn't care to

A Canticle for Leibowitz comes to mind, though while the preservation of knowledge after collapse is a central premise it is not what the novel is about, exactly. Worth reading in any case.

In 2023 utility-scale solar generation capacity is expected to grow by 29 GW, and wind by 7.5 GW[1] - that's 700 MW per week, so we're almost on track already. (The EIA's "expectations" might be optimistic, but I d
