Academically, at least, yes. One of the latest versions of this kind of idea I am aware of is https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.08620 , although at more than a year old, this work might be out of date. I am sure there is ongoi

That stood out to me too! It's a fun-sounding word. I googled it prepared to learn something new, only to get one hit - this article.

I don't know, when I was in grad school back in the early 2010s I definitely agreed "big data" in computer vision was important and probably stated that in the intro of some paper. My advisor at the time was very vocal about

That's interesting to think about. I'm not familiar with the literature on this but I'm 100% sure there's some interesting work on it (and related fields such as distributed and federated learning). I guess the simplest

I believe this is part of the argument in the post - the "architecture" of the nervous system (and the organism it is an inseparable part of) is itself largely a product of evolution. Its already optimized to deal with the challen

I think it's reasonable to argue that data acquired via a sensorimotor loop in an embodied agent will go beyond what you can learn passively from a trove of internet data, but this argument goes beyond that - the "data" in ev

Like other commenters said, I would just choose a single chip and limit yourself to that. That's pretty constrained by today's standards (arguably, even all of furnace tracker is rather limited compared to your typical modern DAW)

Agreed, if these can be put into an array without interfering with each other it seems like it'd make a really cool expressive instrument. Cost would be a concern, though many of the existing instruments are exactly low-cost as is.

There's probably not that much overlap between people who are good at writing communications middleware and people good at each of those research problems; there's not even that much overlap between people good at each of those re

I mean, I'm sure curated datasets that are guaranteed (within some margin of error, probably) to not have been AI-generated will be a valuable commodity, or rather already are. Maybe that would include old reddit posts/comments, n

Seems like it's aiming to be a more general alternative to tools like ROS rosbags, pretty widely used in robotics. Sounds like a good idea to me -- having a nice tool to create and visualize multimodal logs can be pretty useful outside

I'm not a computer graphics expert, but traditionally (since long before the latest 3D gaussian splatting) I've seen splatting used in computer graphics to describes a way of rendering 3D elements onto a 2D canvas with some "

For what it's worth, I recently visited a thrift store and I was somewhat surprised to see a sizable DVD/bluray section. I imagine there won't be any new releases there, though.

The evolution of the AI weirdness blog ( https://www.aiweirdness.com/ ) over the past few years somewhat supports this idea, except that the author got plenty of funny results with LLMs - but mostly the early ones, up to arou

I haven't dabbled much in photography lately, but when I was active in it, budget was a strong constraint. These days my GAS is mostly for synths and budget is less of a constraint, thanks to the full time job you alluded to. I think t

I get its a joke, but dubstep is actually one of the harder EDM genres to make, in my opinion. As in, how much skill/work it takes to make a "mediocre" dubstep track, especially for the more commercially well known "bros

Yes, as someone who is into synths and photography (apparently not an uncommon intersection), it's definitely common to both, even with the same term. And I'm sure they're not the only ones. As someone who likes bikes there&#

I can't speak for every institution (and every department within), but at least in mine (in the US), there were pretty specific rules and requirements around awarding a PhD, involving coursework, qualifiers, proposals, the thesis and i

I once had an passport-related emergency, but as a foreign resident in the US this was a matter for USCIS. Getting ahold of them via phone was pretty much impossible at the time- the lines were just permanently busy. I sent them an email en

There's a related medium where I think similar advice applies, technical papers. At least for my field - computer vision / machine learning. You choose a cool, hopefully self-explanatory, figure to feature prominently in the first

That OpenAI work is more elaborate. It trains an additional network in such a way that it encodes what GPT is doing in terms of activations, but in a more interpretable way (hopefully). Here, as far as I can tell, it's visualizing the

Yeah, I think that's one of the primary use cases. As a researcher I've looked at using Tikz in the past but it's a nontrivial learning curve. Something like this seems useful to at least get a starting point to tweak.

The only one I can think of the dwm window manager ( https://dwm.suckless.org/ ), that used to prominently mention a SLOC limit of 2000. Doesn't seem to be mentioned in the landing page anymore, not sure if it's sti

Yeah. Also happens to clash with my preferred window manager's prefix key (ratpoison).

Yes, I like to use a backtick (`). Pretty nice except when typing in markdown, where I need to type a double backtick for each backtick.

This looks nice to me. Sort of reminds me of cython and to a lesser extent nim. And I sort of like cython, except I rarely end up using it in practice because I find that you end up dealing with three languages - python, cython and C - or e

I don't know about GPs, but for surgeons I believe it's not so clear cut (pun not intended). From what I understand bad outcomes in surgery often take a while to manifest - but more importantly, it seems that even when they do, an

My first thought, Megaman would be my choice. Maybe Kirby, but he can only have one power at a time.

Seems like it's less universal than I thought, and has other meanings (but related to flatulence) in other countries than my own.
