If you are running MacOS, I would recommend Agent Safehouse. Well maintained and is built on existing sandbox-exec so you are not locked in and can always build your own rules independent of the CLI tool. https://github.com/

Agreed, the programmer is not going away. However, I expect the role is going to change dramatically and the SDLC is going to have to adapt. The programmer used to be the non-deterministic function creating the deterministic code. Along wit

This exactly. How many small businesses were running some sort of Access database built by someone who knew just enough to meet their business process needs? "Brenda always orders these parts on Tuesday so make sure there is a Tuesday

This is why I think trail running is so valuable. You must be aware of your changing environment and how to adjust your body's movement to accommodate. You are exercising your mind to calculate your current momentum, intended placement

It gave me a "living in the future" feeling the day someone sent me a picture of a phone number through imessage. Barely thinking, I pressed on the phone number in the image and I was prompted to call it. It was like technology an

There is data but nowhere near the amount of written language that is fairly normalized and without the need to account for additional features such as language, dialect, intonation, facial expression, hand gestures. Speech to text is used

The reason I like line scan images is because it breaks our mental model of images. We are not looking at the image of a train. We are looking at a time series graph of what occupied a very small defined area in space.

The first definition of this type of procedural generation algorithm was called Model Synthesis by Paul Merrell [1] which built upon texture synthesis. You can even read Merrell's later comparison of the two algorithms [2]. [1] https:

The civilian government agencies spent 248B on contract services in 2023 [1]. Not all of that was professional services, but I expect that we will see an increase in that number as more services are contracted out and a decrease in direct g

I am not qualified to make any assumptions but I do wonder if a massive investment into computing infrastructure serves national security purposes beyond AI. Like building subway stations that also happen to serve as bomb shelters. Are ther

Agreed. This was raised within our corp the other week and we read through the privacy and security documentation as it relates to Connected Experiences. Microsoft has outlined specifically what Connected Experiences covers.[1] [2] You cou

The article covers this and I think the title is a bit too general. It is a byproduct of how CRISPR works as it targets a specific sequence. In this case the sequence is also present in areas that were non-targeted. Essentially, the sequenc

It is a case of economic security. US National Security Advisor Daleep Singh spoke about this on the Odd Lots podcast a month ago. The goal is an integrated supply chain across all three countries, and an end result of marketing the ice bre

Its like showing someone a color and asking how many letters it has. 4... 3? blau, blue, azul, blu The color holds the meaning and the words all map back. In the model the individual letters hold little meaning. Words are composed of letter

I agree and do not think any company would make that investment directly. Nvidia selling to Microsoft renting to OpenAI, I'm sure you could make that add up to $100B on paper. In the long run the economics are likely much more complica

Your point is interesting because I see this across the home hardware industry. Cheap electronics were subsidized by data collection and I suppose that market was lucrative until it wasn't. It happened behind the scenes, we knew it was

The realized value of LLMs is going to be output from a data to AI pipeline. From raw data to actions or insights. This is Microsoft's play to control the entire process. They are attempting to abstract away all the "tooling"

Another interesting takeaway is that because you are taking a single line capture the pixel distance equates to time not to distance like a normal image. What that means is that if you pick two points on the car, you can measure that distan

I can say that Acquired at least has done some of the most interesting storytelling on the founding of companies. It's like taking 5 different books on the same topic and abridging the best parts together with some commentary sprinkled

Wonder if there was consideration given to mechanically moving mirrors to facilitate the light positioning rather than moving the light source itself. It may lend to modularity as well if you need to switch out light sources (LED to Laser)

There is a delicate balance though. The draw of the RPG is that you play a character who usually has an outsized impact on the world in comparison to most everyone else. If we expect the NPCs to operate as independent entities, how do we ma

I wish I could find the source, but I'll relay it less eloquently. Children have a remarkable ability to ask for things they know they can't have. Their innocence gives them the audacity to ask for the impossible. This always stuc

I would highly encourage anyone who has even thought about doing this; do it. If you are thinking about how to get started, I recommend the StoryCorp app. It is easy to use they have a bunch of prebuilt questions or you can create your own.

With Coqui.ai shutting down it's studio and API it looks like they are reinvesting their efforts into their XTTS models and framework. A recent update to their GitHub also has a no-code gradio ui to facilitate fine-tuning and inferenc

They do mention that their expectation is that the 70B model will provide even better performance. I expect that you are correct and that they determined the 13B was capable enough to serve as a base model. Why incur additional training tim
