...who who once said "The strength of a civilization is not measured by its ability to fight wars, but rather by its ability to prevent them" which I find very Trecklike. Live long and Prosper.

which brings to mind the old William F. Buckley Jr., who famously remarked that he would rather be governed by the first 2,000 names in the Boston telephone directory than by the faculty of Harvard University.

But the idea of randomly selecting leaders as a leveling distribution is as old as Athens. We still practice it in Jury selection in much of the world.

So this experiment in Belgrade might be worth watching and it wouldn't surprise me at all if they outperform previous and regional governments.

still blows my mind that there is debate about the origin of Water on earth and much of it is still attributed to the formation of the solar system and as much as 30% to 50% of the water we drink is older than the sun (4.6B years old)

They were stealing from the Bangladesh Central Bank by gaining access the the Swift system terminal and that 80million is still getting chased down in the Philippines

for back in the day this knight had pretty decent 3D perspective rendering skills I mean you can knock the chair but there are a lot worse illustrations and devotional art from the time.

ShareX has been around for ever but just updated the UI and now super easy to do capture work with annotations and cam output etc (no studio but it's light weight)

btw I use OBS virtual camera its one of my fav features with masking etc for a video avatar vlogger effect

interesting top level ontology I almost checked out but clicked somethin and the sublayers are much more rich and relevant to Applied AI and got me exploring thanks

Digital hackers who cause real world harm effects should get treated like the terrorists they are with all that means in terms of the available inerdictions.

is this connected to any of the FrankenXYZ efforts behind some of the 1T monthly token spend of that dude ?

following on the deranged reduxuio ad absurdum torture chamber experiments some people used similar methods to get a model under study to complain of an upset stomach and passing hard stool

"The Prize" by Daniel Yergin is the goto history of oil & gas industry worldwide

... but it (and TFA) still can't explain to me a 100$/barrel premium captured by diesel refineries recently !

under this topic we should hat tip to the yomens work of Michael Bach, a German vision scientist and neurophysiologist who put more than 20 years into the website [1] "Visual Phenomena & Optical Illusions"

tldraw has a lot of programmatic access I have not compared it to excalidraw but there is still no equivalence between the model capabilities to build amazingly detailed infographics and diagraming tool use which is a gap I hope will narrow

Anthropic Left as the Only Private Company in the World? CEO Dario Amodei Pushes Back on Criticism From Critics: 'I Do Not Agree That…'

Dr Michael Levin at Tufts has a lot of electro based theories about regeneration based on findings with Palnarians he adjusts the voltage states and gets two headed liniages amongst the many many other things his lab covers

apparently big labs are also pitching profit sharing arrangements to biopharma companies in exchange for privileged access to the top internal above-the-api capability models .... repeat this in every industrial vertical and it could turn out that much denied Dario claim may as well have been true for all intents and purposes

I was expecting to see some Jev based influence on RETE/CEP rule handling ... the Typesafe.ai team have a lot more in the pipeline this use case is just getting started

not sure how this is innovative they show the System-1 model can play Doom right in the announcement [1] :

>Doom >We love how this doomo doomonstrates real-time intelligence and what can be doone with code + AI. The engineer behind it was worried about making 10 queries a second (which ends up costing ~$7/hour), but the rest of us agreed that was lower than expected! This is so fun we intend to not only release an in-depth walkthrough, but also host some events to hack on this.

IEEE Spectrum is such a good publication. Early in my career I worked at a place where the magazine would be passed around every month with a coversheet listing all us engineers we had to pass it around and sign we had read it. Been a while since I visited the website but love what they did with it.

hummm wonder what the context length limit will be like this

well that didnt take long now its: "Independent research project. Formerly called OpenJev. Not affiliated with or endorsed by TypeSafe. No infringement is intended."

for me the live mode in androids google translate app has been as close as it gets to perfect for traveling cannot believe it is a free service after trying so many others

the latest Google Translate features based on the all voice real-time 3.5 Live model is as good as I have tried in Live Modes it's not perfect but I can put it down on a table of four or five people conversing and get a reasonable amount of it translated into my earpiece.

Years ago, I worked on some equipment from a company called Acme Packet that made Session Border Controllers for the telco IP voice space and was just trying to remember why they called it ACME and it's interesting to trace the history of the term from the classical Greek (Apex) to the pejorative "A Company Making Everything".

The creator (Eric Provencher) worked for Unity before that and he is exploring game development tooling etc (with an open token budget) its fun to see where things are heading in the on-demand future of handsfree blender output and animation

slightly tangential but the podcast app Snipd has a lot of text to speach re-sync alignment to recover from inserted advertisements so it might be worth exploring if they have published any details

you might find it better in openstreetmap

Her cover of Stairway to Heaven is definitely crossover at its best

I love how now you have to consider the possible s** posting motivation behind analysis of a trillion dollar industry being conducted at a world-class level by a bunch of ex Reddit and 4Chan adjacent mods -- it's one of the best stories in AI that SemiAnalysis is not cut from the same cloth as Gartner McKinsey et al

I'm working with a lab that has a few Ampere GPUs on infiniband and they are just not compatible with the latest quants and vLLM updates. FP8 is about as low as you can go.
