I’ve been using the AI Overviews in Google Search for months now and overall find more utility in them. I’ve developed an instinct for when to ignore them. Typically it is when “edge information” is involved: facts / data that are only

This brings up an interesting “risk control” that one of my tech investors personally implemented with his family, in case a audio/video version of him ever asks to do anything crazy: secret passwords, agreed upon in person.

Super lekker! (That means love love love) As an American who lived in Amsterdam for 3 years, to learn from their horticultural and eco leadership, I can say this is perfectly typical of the Dutch. Smart, easy, sustainable, beautiful.

As I lead a group of AI/ML researchers to develop systems for automatically generating 3D model animation parameters for plants and flowers, I wanted to share a wonderful capture of several flowers blooming. Indeed, I believe our &quo

I once quit a big tech company triggered by a desk move. All of the social disruption described here is true. I also felt an environmental gentrification: my “secret” window spot, where the data engineers were stuffed into, being hijacked b

I had the same thought. Some of the surprising discoveries I made with word2vec embeddings: human + robot ~= cyborg silicon + electricity ~= solar cells virtual reality + reality ~= augmented reality As reported here: https://web

I do not know the author, but I’m deeply impressed and generally supportive of his core argument: public investment in supercomputing (and the simulation capabilities that brings, for solving the world’s hardest problems) can and should be

100% agreed. I've been developing deep neural networks for over 10 years and this is just surreal. On the bright side, one source of "sanity" that I'm finding is to review a collection of daily "hot" publicati

Yeah, so they demo a bigger model on an RTX 4090 with 24 GB VRAM. Granted an implementation of sparse activations with the Mixture of Experts could be non-trivial, I think it’s a brilliant move, that could potentially allow for even, e.g.,

In response to a very impressive set of LLM open weights released today from Mistral AI called "Mixtral 8x7B", I was reminded of this amazing publication on the origin of "sparse mixture of experts" from none other than

The Sparse Mixture of Experts neural network architecture is actually an absolutely brilliant move here. It scales fantastically, when you consider that (1) GPU RAM is way too expensive, in financial dollars, (2) SSD / CPU RAM are rela

It's cool, it's also par for the field of 3D reconstruction today. I wouldn't describe this paper as particularly innovative or exceptional. What do I think is really compelling in this field (given that it's my profess

Marvelous! One of the best applications of a ChatGPT backend that I've seen yet. It's even remarkable to talk in your own native language to ChatGPT, but there is just so much room to build out the next great language learning app

The thing to know about 3D scanning -- and more generally, automated photorealistic 3D modeling of the entire physical world -- is that it is an unsolved problem. A lot of the 3D scans you'll find were created with techniques (e.g. ph
