This is such a good idea! Kids music toys are often just purely toys tap a button, make a sound... But the skill ceiling could be so much higher, offering the ability to learn and express themselves more. Awesome work.

So much text and not a single example, diagram, or demo. I'm honestly skeptical this will work at all, the FOV of most webcams is so small that it can barely capture the shoulder of someone sitting beside me, let alone their eyes. Then

Thought this was going to be a good article then the author started mentioning water consumption and I stopped reading.

$30 for a sock even in 2025 seems pretty steep. In 2004 is crazy. I guess I'm forgetting how "overpriced" Apple was at the time.

Here’s another idea: We’ve had GPT2 since 2019, almost 6 years now. Even then, OpenAI was claiming it was too dangerous to release or whatever. It’s been 6 years since the path started. We’ve gone from hundreds of thousands -> millions -

I was so confused by this article. I was confusing it with TinyPilot, a hardware KVM made by an indie hacker Michael Lynch, that I think has since been acquired.

Dunno if this passes the bootstrapping test. This is sensitive to the initial candidate set of labels that the LLM generates. Meaning if you ran this a few times over the same corpus, you’ll probably get different performance depending upon

This flavor of "FOMO" is new and tuned for capitalism/materialism, hence everyone wants to be go to trendy restaurants/travel/airbnb lifestyle. But before "FOMO" used to be religious, more like "FOGTH

On paper, nothing will happen. The wealthy in America will continue to get wealthier. Real estate and stocks will soar in value. In reality, the dollar's true value will plummet. The FED is starting to lower interest rates again. We ar

Almost every single one of these "using WiFi to do X! Crazy!" articles always requires some crazy amount of calibration / training requirement. It's like me telling you: With using just audio I can trace your exact coord

Thanks, I googled "bald suicide risk pubmed" and it was the first article I found. I can't find any with as clear-cut statistics for AA. I still think it applies though; the psychological effect of being bald probably doesn&#

I take dutasteride (even stronger form of finasteride) and have been personally fortunate to not have any side effects in ~8 years. My whole family on both sides is bald bald . Without it I would have been bald bald in my early 20s. I kn

Not kidding: What about suicides prevented from not going bald? To paint a fair image, this study should also compare suicide prevalence for bald people. ------- Results: Compared with the controls, an increased risk of suicide attempts was

My wife (then girlfriend) and I were at a concert. She went to the bathroom to pee. She came back crying. I told her she might have a UTI. It was not normal for it to hurt that badly to pee. She denied it. I bought her a UTI test, it came o

I think your anthropomorphization of GPT4-o is pretty generous. Vanilla WoW was also discontinued in 2006, and somehow players got Blizzard to bring it back in 2019. Does that mean that vanilla WoW is a 300 IQ AGI? To be more charitable,

You are still overcomplicating it. 300 IQ in a vacuum gets you nothing. You need some type of status/power/influence in the world to have impact. I think the previous "world record" holder for IQ is actually just a prett

Are you paying for ChatGPT pro? Does that include codex CLI usage? Claude Code on max plan is why I use Sonnet/Opus, but if ChatGPT pro includes codex usage I may switch.

Making this prediction now, LLM pricing will eventually be priced in bytes. Why: LLMs are increasingly becoming multimodal, so an image "token" or video "token" is not as simple as a text token. Also, it's difficult

Yeah I’ve noticed the sage/wizard archetype has been pushed out. SWE culture was very different in a low interest rate environment. Teams were over staffed. No new tech came around for a long time so everyone was focused inward on how

lols, the weird protobuf initialization semantics has caused so many OMGs. Even on my team it lead to various hard to debug bugs. It's a lesson most people learns the hard way after using PBs for a few months.

I’m surprised this isn’t a more common and well known issue. I stumbled upon this issue when trying to convert a recursive DFS to iterative because my recursive DFS was running out of stack space. The solution produced by this iterative ver

Nah,this sounds like a modern remix of Japan’s Fifth Generation Computing project. They thought that by building large databases and with Prolog they would bring upon an AI renaissance. Just hand waving some “distributed architecture” and t

I always see these fancy DB engines and data lake blog posts and I am curious… why? At every place I’ve worked at this is a solved problem: Hive+Spark, just keep everything sharded across a ton of machines. It’s cheaper to pay for a Hive cl

So this is basically an “embedding of embeddings”, an approximation of multiple embeddings compressed into one, to reduce dimensionality/increase performance. All this tells me is that: the “multiple embeddings” are probably mostly ove

Also, do it for the target device not all of them. Liquid glass makes little sense on a tiny iPhone that a lot of people read outside in sunlight.

How? This is retention for legal risk, not for training purposes. They can still have legal contracts with other companies, that stipulate that they don't train on any of their data.

Nice webpage/design, but what is the advantage over Openrouter that already has ~trillions tokens/month in traffic?
