It’s unfortunate that this announcement is still unspecific about what they improved in the Neural Engine. Since all we know about the Neural Engine comes from Apple papers or reverse engineering efforts ( https://github.com/

I agree—the difference between the different compatibility layers and native games is very steep at times. Death Stranding on my M2 Pro looks so good it’s hard to believe, but running GTA Online is so brittle and clunky… Even when games hav

Having played a lot of MSFS 2020/2024 recently, I feel like I can appreciate this way more now. Since they have to make these knobs realistically and in 3D, when using them with a keyboard and mouse (or even worse a controller) it’s in

I also like eza ( https://github.com/eza-community/eza ) which is a modern ls. Fish is the biggest game changer though.

It definitely got more widespread, but I am not sure that it's related to AI. If it's a way for open source maintainers of awesome tools I use to fund their development, I am totally fine with that.

Whenever I look at these proposals I am never sure if the people that wrote that law are not aware that you can’t tap one person without making spying on everyone really easy very quickly, they don’t care or they actually want it. Although

I agree with most commenters that Gleam seems like the thing that’s going to solve a lot of the big problems I have with Elixir. I didn’t read a lot about Nx and EXLA in the comments, so I thought I’d share my view: In my opinion, that’s no

Good idea! But try to think of a different name since you will have to deal with Groq ( https://groq.com/ ) and Grok ( https://grok.com/ ).

you mean fine tuning that feels like SFT but is different (since you can't use that with reasoning models) built around the DeepSeek class of models?

You are right. If you want/can pay out of your own pocket, RunPod ( https://www.runpod.io ) deserves a shoutout here. We rented GPUs from them (they have them and they are cheaper and more available than Lambda Labs) until we

Yes, you could do that. However, you would have created a different platform than Augento. Maybe we should make the distinction clearer though. The blog article you are referring to uses another method to fine-tune models that many other bi

If you send us an email, we can send you your weights right now :)

Not yet, but since people seem to want this it’s at the top of our roadmap. If you train a model now and want to get the weights, just message us and we‘ll give them to you ;)

That’s fair! It has been mentioned before so we‘ll likely build that into the platform. Would you like us to upload your model to your huggingface account, download the weights or choose an inference provider we then upload it to?

In a sense: You are not wrong! But when we got started we thought it is way easier than it actually was. Procuring powerful GPUs alone is difficult, collecting proper data too. But of course you can still do everything yourself. If you want

We chose batman-adv because it's the most widely adopted and supported implementation of a wireless ad hoc mesh network :) Freifunk is running deployments with several thousand nodes.[1] Since that was the scale we were aiming for, thi

When you setup the robots you could load them with the PKI and then load each other robot joining with a signed certificate. Not ideal, I admit. Another way would be to somehow prove that you belong.

Possibly yes, I can't give you a number on how quick batman discovers neighbors (will look into that) but we poll it every second. For this use case it could work!

Like others suggested a basic step would be to use a certificate based approach where a company (or basically any deployment) gives out certificates for robots allowed to join and you only communicate with them.

We do discovery via the mesh, yes, but instead of broadcasting (like mDNS), we query batman-adv for the current visible neighbors. If a new neighbor is discovered, we will contact them directly (via WiFi) to exchange the addresses in the P2

You are right. At the moment, we are an opinionated wrapper, but we take a different approach to discovery than other libp2p-based networks with our custom batman-adv-based neighbor discovery. Abstractions for collaboration are currently in

Awesome! From what I see, the clock synchronization can be implemented with our SDKs (mainly pub-sub). I think the size estimation could also be implemented within the provided abstractions (mainly request-response) but might require you to
