I mean it's not just any old foreign bank either though, in Canada the King of England is still our head of state.

Light mode constricts your pupil more, which means less eye strain for the eye when focusing because of the better depth of field. Also, black pixels != no light except in technologies such as oled, but most laptops are backlit lcds.

It's only line-of-sight, but isn't the range 10s-100s of kilometres in open areas? Some repeaters on hills/mountains etc. could connect large areas potentially.

The title confused me at first as PCBs refer to hydroxylated polychlorinated biphenyls not printed circuit boards.

yeah that checks out, although looks like they do have an example for running models on a raspberry pi pico 2: https://docs.pytorch.org/executorch/main/pico2_tutorial.html . The list of embedded platforms this can

It is fairly well established that neurons in these artificial neural networks are polysemantic and information is represented in directions in the activation embedding space rather than neurons independently representing information (which

Very cool! I was wondering, is a separate model performing speech recognition for the voice demos such as the game? The FunctionGemma model card only seems to show text input/output.

There's a hidden equal sign, so if you copy-paste the code you get a different answer than if you just do it in your head.

I wonder if they also want to create more of a market for their products such as the DGX Spark.

that was quite the wild read, haha. Looks like they're going to have further meetings about the ducks but the conclusion of this meeting is that: "There was consensus among the Zoning Board of Appeals that the applicant has demons

The penultimate backpacking/climbing meal IMO is chatas and mash, in which you mix instant mashed potatoes with chatas. I like the idea that it feels like an extension of chuño and the original development of instant mashed potatoes ha

It's an interesting area of research, there is even some evidence that language experienced in utero affects speech perception: https://doi.org/10.1111/apa.12098 .

I was just thinking this. The wikipedia "signs of ai writing" that another commenter linked to ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing ) mentions LLMs overuse the 'rule of three'

Scalp-recorded EEG does not measure action potentials, it can only measure the graded potentials of basically one type of neuron (pyramidal cells) in the cortex, which is a really tiny percentage of both neurons and electrical activity in t

also, the common ancestor of mammals and birds did not have a tympanic ear, so sound localization evolved differently in the avian vs. mammalian hearing systems. A good review is here: https://journals.physiology.org/doi&#x2

Something related to this that is really cool is directly reading from PDM microphones using PIO: https://github.com/ArmDeveloperEcosystem/microphone-library-... . This shouldn't be called bit-banging though if it&

The paper seems to highlight that the novelty is in their general parser that worked across 39 different GEO satellites, and that it works with a couple hundred dollars of consumer grade equipment. From the paper: "Our technical contri

I really wish I could buy raw milk for hobby cheesemaking. I'm in Canada where the laws are really restrictive.

very cool. If you're looking for machines to add, it would be awesome to model a cheap roaster based on a popcorn popper since it is probably less reliable than commercial sample roasters (and might benefit from less trial-and-error).

Exactly this. Amyloid-beta plaques and their association with dementia were discovered early on (late 1800s/early 1900s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyloid_plaques#History ), but the theory that they cause dement

yup, it's also great for fixing and equalizing a rope to a sport anchor for top rope soloing, etc. https://www.alpinesavvy.com/blog/fixing-a-rope-two-knots-to-... . Super easy to adjust/equalize.

they're also used a lot for training current TTS and audio codec models to output speech that sounds realistic.

I saw a snippet of a podcast on instagram recently where both the host and guest used the word delve, and it reminded me of a year or two ago when that was used as a telltale sign of LLM writing. Interesting to see it actually quantified.

Exactly this. At the university I went to a comp sci degree was mostly theoretical with a substantial overlap with mathematics (we could even substitute a certain amount of high level comp sci classes for mathematics classes if we wanted).
