Winning a battle and living to fight another day is useful. Does not mean the fight is over, of course.

For more on this perspective, see the paper On the measure of intelligence (F. Chollet, 2019). And more recently, the ARC challenge/benchmarks, which are early attempts at using this kind of definition in practice to improve current sy

A RPi 4/5 has that? The OMAP 3/4 chips in Beaglebone is another alternative. Or Rockchip/Allwinner SoCs. Those are all Cortex A series though, but that can still be programmed bare metal if one wants. There are also Cortex M

It i possible to have a digital twin which simulates the real physics of the robot and gives instant feedback based on that. It might help a bit to make the teleoperator work within the capabilities of the robot, be more in sync. But is peo

No longer randomized though, so it brings in confounding factors. Which one then has to try to control for.

They will brag about each unit sold to investors to demonstrate product/market fit, and then raise probably 10-100x the sales price per unit from investors.

Transformers are very powerful also for non-language data. For example time series, sequences like DNA or audio (also outside of speech and music). Of course the vast amount of human text is key to training a typical LLM, but it is not the

All language is referential. Even in everyday speech the meaning is not in the words themselves, in so much as they are pointers to concepts that (hopefully) exists already in the brains of the people we are conversing with. So when someone

I suspect OpenAI wants the user data from Sky/Atlas, and Apple does not want to give it. Also, Apple are probably wanting to keep their options open wrt other AI providers - after all, it is increasingly clear that OpenAI is not the on

Lack of Accountability as-a-Service! Very attractive proposition to negligent and self-serving organizations. The people in charge don't even have to pay for it themselves, can just funnel the organization money to the vendor. Encourag

Nice. Looks like it could be a good tool for image labeling at least. But no support for audio or time-series data? :( Maybe it will get it down the line?

Makes business sense. The two companies have similar customer profiles in the embedded space, so this should make for cross selling opportunities both ways. Just being a pre-approved vendor is often a big win, as many times that involves lo

Seems within reach of a hobbyist maker, at least the slightly unhinged kind (in the best meaning). Since considerable energy is needed but also avoiding excessive heating, integrating temperature measurement into the bulb might be prudent.

I would not call validation of PCBs easy conceptually. We had to develop a lot of automation in validation to enable today production. Optical verification has been standard for many years, and X-ray is now getting commonplace also. Flying

Are you sure you spend less time per week on clothes washing than people did before the clothes washer? I suspect that before, people would wash their clothes considerably more seldom - which might even out the efficiency gains of the machi

Their first bet was than they were going to be the frontier model provider by a good margin, and that others would not be able to compete on the "intelligence". And that they could get distribution via big customers looking to buy

Cool! What kind of voltage ranges are we talking, and how toxic is Zinc sulfide phosphor?

These kinds of systems tends to also be used by abusive policemen monitoring their exes, and police tracking members of undesirable (but legal) activist groups, etc.

It seems here that Google provides the core IP, and that Synaptic packages this (and probably other related IP blocks) block that can be used to build a SoC. As of now there are no chips announced. So it will be some years before we as soft

Props to HRM authors, and ARC team, for providing easy-to-replicate experiments. This is key to learning from the papers and building on it.

If done at scale, they are kinda crowd sourcing the test set from the entire internet, personal and business world. It will be harder and harder at least to pinpoint weaknesses, at least for the general public. It probably has little to do

What development have happened in robotics over the last 2 years, that changed your mind? I am familiar with general industry trends in electronics over the last two decades, as well as the 1 decade in machine learning.

I am not sure what your specific claims are? Personally I do not think that we have seen the full battlefield impact of the last 10-20 years developments in microcontrollers, battery, power electronics, electromotors, MEMS sensors, imaging

Early day for robotics and AI still. But for a superpower, the potential for (more) autonomous weapons in that intersection is something that (unfortunately) cannot be ignored.

Optimizing for engagement? You will use Claude again for the debugging...

Yeah and this was RPi first step into RISC-V. It seems to have been quite successful? So perhaps in a couple of generations from now we will see a pure RISC-V chip from them?

I would have loved more nitty gritty details also. But to conclude that they "have no idea what they are doing" seems to be an uncharitable take... The described system seems like a useful test bed, and I did not see anything that

These days you could probably build a pretty performant numpy like using shared memory with Arrow format and IPC for control. Though it would be considerably more complex and not at all easier than FFI...

There is topological naming available about USB ports from the Linux kernel. So one can find what device was connected to which hubs, and which root hub that hub was on, etc. See lsusb -t, and the device paths exposed in udev. Old blogpost
