Sorry about the writing :( We have beaten it but only for an output that's approximately "green smoothie". We're already better than just LED grow lights for e.g. lettuce, though, from how I recall the linked paper. Unsu

You can just render to the 1bpp text/4bpp images monochrome 300dpi target; perhaps some tone mapping due to the limited contrast ratio of the eink vs. your OLED should be done at rasterization time. Then just map the resulting 16 brigh

The big thing that was learned all the way back with UT and it's follow up SUT was that semantic nesting structure often incentivizes models that can deploy the very same learned structural parsing intelligence independent of how many

Oh, is the principle of sparse universal transformers finally in SoTA LLMs? I guess we did manage to eventually seriously crash into the wall "more compute than normal (non-looped/unique-weights) transformers can efficiently consu

For fast updates / high frame rate, especially also smooth fade from previous to next page, those displays only do black/white. They can typically modulate about 14 levels of gray in-between but reliably (without really bad ghost

Isn't a more proper treatment (assuming the tree itself is healthy) to bump up the pavement target height like a foot or thereabouts and put down some slope smoothing ramps to limit how much it acts as a speed bump? I'd assume it

You can use fuel cells; I'm sure external steam reforming based hydrogen (in protein exchange membrane fuel cells) works very well, but I'd not be surprised if some hydrocarbon or alcohol fuel cell beats it in TCO; also I'd e

Don't need global shutter just use a bit more math and IMU data with frequency in excess of the frame rate. Make it work with the recording capabilities of a good modern phone and handle the compute in non-real-time.
