Sure, but when people listen to speech it is literally one word at a time. So while there might be some benefit to being able to read non-linearly, it's probably not a bottleneck.

It's surprising how many C* level people don't use the software their company creates. I don't doubt that Cook uses an iPhone, but does he actually _use_ it, as in go off the happy path? And what about macOS? Based on past em

For a claim this big, I'm surprised only one author. Not even an advisor?

Thank you, this makes sense! As [1] puts it pithily >Image-patch tokens make better use of the high-dimensional embedding space than text tokens do. That seems to imply it's not necessarily something unique about images, just a bypr

Indeed, the title undersells it and I'm glad I didn't skip over it, the article is basically an information-dense but approachable summary of audio generation.

Why would they, having your competitor build their product on land you control is invaluable.

Calling pthread_cond_signal without acquiring mutex can lead to lost wakeup. And of course you can't really acquire a mutex in an async signal safe function like interrupt handler. Without the signaling thread acquiring a mutex, you mi

It's most likely factory refurbished by Apple. You can buy these directly from Apple, and I've seen them in small quantities on third party resellers but I'm not sure how they're sourced.

>with one vision token you have one vector of N elements, but with textual tokens you have M vectors of N elements Each vision token represents a 16x16 patch, but to fully cover a word you might need multiple vision tokens. So assuming t

But naively wouldn't you expect the representation of a piece of text in terms of vision tokens to be roughly the same number of bits (or more) than the representation as textual token? You're changing representation sure, but tha

The paper is more interesting than just another VLM for OCR, they start talking about compression and stuff. E.g. there is this quote >Our work represents an initial exploration into the boundaries of vision-text compression, investigati

Article says app intents, not apple events. Apple Events would be the natural thing but it's an abandoned ecosystem that would require them to walk back the past decade so of course they won't do that.

I find LLM generated code ends up pushing review/maintenance burden onto others. It "looks" right at first glance, and passes superficial tests, so it's easy to get merged. But then as you build on top of it, you realize

It's not _that_ far off distribution though. The math and concepts are well understood.

I've seen this before and I still don't understand. Unless jj comes with some magical conflict resolver, you aren't avoiding the hard part which is merge conflicts. At best you can defer them until you need to deal with them

This always seemed magical to me too, but Gemini recently gave me an explanation that clicked. The seemingly magical part is that it seems like you "lose" information during the transformation. After all if I give you the sorted s

Can someone explain to a noob how this "outer loop" differs from an LLM modified to do reasoning in latent space?
654.
by krackers 1y ago
There have been attempts to give LLMs backspace tokens. Since no frontier model uses it I can only guess it doesn't scale as well as just letting it correct itself in COT https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.05426

There's already a ds_store file littered around, and presumably these must be backwards compatible. So if the format were reverse engineered (maybe it already is) you could probably stuff in some data in there.

The love for the spatial finder is the one thing I've never understood. It seems to fall apart when you work with a non-trivial number of files. For someone who has grown up comfortable with the abstractions of files and filesystems, w
