The last time I checked (a few days ago) it only had an "Upload Image" option... and I have been playing with Gemini on and off for months and I have never been able to actually upload an image. It's basically what I've

There's not a lot of detail in the announcement but I assume this is some kind of RAG system. I wonder if it will cover some short time period (past week, past month?) or if they are trying to cover the whole time period since the know

What mechanism would make it possible to enforce non-paywalled, non-authenticated access to public web pages? This is a classic "problem of the commons" type of issue. The AI companies are signing deals with large media and publis

Whenever I see one of these posts, I click just to see if the proposed solution to testing the output of an LLM is to use the output of an LLM... and in almost all cases it is. It doesn't matter how many buzzwords and acronyms you use

If you're running a company that is paying multiple vendors for basic AI features and LLM functionality, it might be worth doing the calculation of how much of that functionality might be covered by getting all of your employees on iOS

There are lots of valid use cases for speech synthesis and text-to-speech technology, and there are like 1 or 2 valid/legal use cases for voice cloning that I can think of. Ignoring the moral and ethical questions, why would anybody de

Had to chuckle when I looked at the Digital Advertising Alliance WebChoices browser tool (in Safari or any browser with cross-site tracking disabled). It allows you to opt out of being tracked, as long as you enable cross-site tracking and

This makes sense on a number of fronts. 1. If you have capital to invest, you could do worse than AI startups at the moment. 2. Nvidia's long-term threat is not just direct competitors (AMD, Intel), but the big cloud-players going to i

Ignoring the obvious issue that this whole anonymous story seems suspiciously perfect for selling a related product... On the one hand... Companies spent the past couple of decades engaging in various SEO hacks to rank high on search result

I've been thinking along the same lines. The token window IMO should be a conceptual inverted pyramid, where there most recent tokens are retained verbatim but previous iterations are compressed/pooled more and more as the context

I think the claim is based on the public political statements made by leaders in Texas. The fact that there is a huge discrepancy in what they say publicly against the science of global warming and the utility of renewables versus what the

Having only read the abstract, I'm probably way off the mark here, but my first thought was: LLM + LSTM.

When people are faced with negative outcomes resulting from things they approve of, they do this passive-aggressive bit where they pretend to have a valid point.

I used to buy into some of this JFK stuff when I was a X-Files watching teenager. What really burst the bubble for me was a documentary I watched where a team of snipers and forensic scientists re-created the exact shot with mannequins with

I dabble in music production and know some of the people in the "Lofi" world, so I know for a fact that this is not true. It's just a formulaic sub-genre where people are trying to make similar instrumentals with the same vib

First of all, I'd like to say that this looks like a great project and I wish you the best of luck. I've done a bit of work on building knowledge graphs from semi-structured data and I know that every aspect of it is challenging.

There's a good book by Kevin Poulsen called "The Kingpin: How one Hacker Took Over the Billion-Dollar Cybercrime Underground" that is a bit out of date at this point (2011), but it goes into great length on all of the dynamic

I've been thinking this since the Apple Watch came out, but other than practical limitations (battery life) there's always this problem: have you tried to hold your arm out in front of your face and stare at your watch for a while

I highlighted almost the exact quote you have here and it's nice to see it at the top of the discussion. I agree with your sentiment, but I also think it's worth thinking carefully about two of the main points that stuck out to me
