While I think I agree that there are many posts here on HackerNews announcing a new model compression technique, your characterization above understates the technical innovations and practical impacts described in this MIT paper. Unlike tra

I believe there is a legal concept at play here. If a company has an office - a physical presence - within the country, then it has what is called “mind and management” in the country. The mind and management doctrine gives the company cert

The curse of dimensionality in neural network embeddings actually serves a valuable purpose, contrary to what might seem intuitive. While the tendency for distances to become more uniform and large in high-dimensional spaces might appear pr

Some commits are by `nicholascc` ( https://github.com/nicholascc); via Twitter, he seems to be Nicholas Charette. Nicholas is a first year student at Stanford. For such a young group, this is a really impressive effort!

I think you are referring to what's known as the "curse of dimensionality," where as dimensionality increases, the distance between points tends to become more uniform and large. However, nearest neighbor search can still wor

That’s a really fair point. I think it’s tough for anyone else to break into the consumer / desktop segment with ARM chips. Apple can do it because they control the whole stack.

My assessment is that ARM is running away from the competition. Apple is indeed designing the chip, but without the ARM architecture, Apple would have nothing to work with. This is not to diminish the incredible work of Apple’s VLSI team wh

LoL, I really appreciate this comment. My team is very frank with me about code quality and they said Claude’s work looked pretty good — this time. But I’ll take your recommendation to heart for next time.

Go to https://notebooklm.google and log in with a Google account. Then just paste whatever text or files you want to chat about. That’s basically it.

I’ve cut and pasted weeks of Slack conversations into NotebookLM and it was quite entertaining to then listen to a Podcast talking humorously about all the arguments in the #management channel.

I wanted a new feature in our customer support console and the dev lead suggested I write a JIRA. I’m the CEO, so this is not my usual thing (and probably should not be). I told Claude what I wanted and pasted in a .js file from the existin

The more I listen to NotebookLM “episodes”, the more I am convinced that Google has trained a two-speaker “podcast discussion” model that directly generates the podcast off the back of an existing multimodal backbone. The two speakers inter

That problem can be fixed through careful fine-tuning, at the cost of losing some generality because the model is punished for drawing bad fingers. This new method outlined in the paper operates in a highly spatially-compressed latent space

There really are some “free lunches” in generative models. Really impressive work by this group. Ultimately, their model may not be the winner, because so much of what makes a good image gen model is the images and captioning that go into i

I respectfully disagree. While tokenization certainly plays a role in how language models process input, it's simplistic to attribute the challenges in mathematical reasoning solely to tokenization. SOTA language models don't just
