Sad to see the Lego drone sold out, hope you get that reboot going!

Everyone now have access to a tool that makes them nearly as powerful as only the most creative builders were before. But these new builders have a tool, they don’t suddenly have a newfound creativity. I think with time we will stop seeing

China is getting closer to tech independence by the day, I imagine they are happy to sell their tech to anyone who is willing. Not saying this is good or desirable from a European perspective, but quite likely.

This is from April last year. I haven’t seen this angle of the Greenland saga mentioned a lot recently. Is it a coincidence that Trump started to talk about Greenland again right after he and Musk became friendly again?

Totally agree. Also, do you really understand what the numbers in that spreadsheet mean if you have not been participating in pulling them together?

I'm really glad to hear that! Two things I've thought about that would probably make the process even smoother: - Create cards directly from camera input in the app. - Create multiple cards from a source text, so that she can just

Let me know how it goes! I'm not always very happy with how the cards turn out, will see what I can do with some LLM prompt tuning. Yeah, it's very barebones at the moment, if you swipe the name of a deck left on the list of decks

I was reading a lot of technical books and kept highlighting things I wanted to remember — but I rarely went back to review them. The notes just sat there, on my Kindle or in the reading app. So I started building something simple: a tool t

I found this: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/762784 Looks like share extensions are not generally available inside the Books app, which is why my app is not showing up. Thank you for making me aware of

I’m sure the algorithm can play a huge role in the effectiveness of learning but for me the difficult part was always creating the cards and actually opening the app to practice. I've built Komihåg [1] to try and combat this: Select an

Your app looks cool! I've tried a few other apps doing something things, Clearspace is the one I'm using now. Will give yours a try! I'm in a similar situation as you (developer having to do marketing) but have not gotten as

Working on a tool to remember things I read. You select some text with your phone and share it with my app, then the shared text is reformulated to a flashcard (with the help of a llm). You can then browse your flashcards in the app, but I’

What do you have in mind? I’ve thought about affirmations, that could maybe fit this approach as well.

R1 and O1 points towards a world where training models will be a small bucket of the overall compute. That doesn't mean the total amount of AI compute will stop accelerating, just that interconnected mega clusters is not the only or mo

Great article. > Now, you still want to train the best model you can by cleverly leveraging as much compute as you can and as many trillion tokens of high quality training data as possible, but that's just the beginning of the story

If you haven’t already: Start to store question and answer pairs and reuse the answer if the same question is asked multiple times. You could also compute embeddings for the questions (don’t have to be OpenAI embeddings), and reuse the answ

Assuming we had millions of 3D-scans of different kinds of animals and their full DNA sequence. Wouldn't it be interesting to try to use generative ML methods to generate a dinosaur DNA based on a 3D model?

I also work with non-speech audio and I'm curious: Do you use pure DFT:s as inputs to your models or do you use mel-energies or MFCC:s? What kind of models do you use? Since there is not that much variation in the sound of a chainsaw I
