The use of ultrasound is interesting! The first step (identifying speech) is called subvocalization recognition, and early research (Chuck Jorgensen, et. al (2023) from NASA) use EMG[1]. [1]: https://scispace.com/pdf/su

I with my car had an accessible log of these notices. Another example, my car gives you a safety score at the end of every drive, out of 100. When I get less than 100, there's no information about what I might do to improve my score, a

If AI replaces most software developers, it may be because there is less use for the software (read: mostly SaaS applications) developers are employed to build. Or otherwise, there will be fewer people who will want to buy software (or buy

RAM impacts engineers' machines. We learn to build smaller again. More breakthroughs happen around less-memory intensive local inference. Model provides' bottom lines are impacted. They bail on RAM contracts. The market floods. Pr

Yes, you can use constrained decoding like logit masking to force all invalid tokens in the vocabulary to -inf, and effectively be removed from selection. I believe llama.cpp exposes this by accepting a formatted grammar.

If you're into exploring this sort of thing yourself, I can extremely highly recommend Daniel Shiffman's Nature of Code[1]. It's among my top-5 recommended books about computing in general, let alone for algorithmic art. [1]:

Ok, now I understand better the metaphor. I don't understand your conclusion about AI hype, but at at rate, your earlier point is clearer. The story I'm not readily conceiting to is that trillion-dollar frontier model training cap

I'm not sure I follow how this metaphor plays out. Many stand to gain by harming and threatening Europe and many stand to suffer if Europe is harmed or threatened. Far be it from me to claim Europe a perfected system, but there are glo

Does Europe need to train a frontier AI model, at all ? "Training a frontier AI model" is a euphemism. The AI industry is, at present, a disproportionately resource-intensive and exploitative activity which carries only an religi

This feels important to read, and I appreciate the author's candor. You have to remember that not every character (for lack of a better word) in every story you read, needs to be morally justified in their thoughts, emotions, and actio

If vulnerable individuals don't "...put up with this shit," they get sick and die. To understand this, you have to understand that there isn't usually an alternative.

The malfunction is due to multiple models of containers missing a pressure relief function in the center of the stopper. They have a well-known solution, but it was not implemented.
