Is anyone making LLM-in-a-box for emergency supply kits yet? I feel that would be handy in all sorts of situations when networks are down.

Hey me too, I also have a DIY inventory system, maybe yours is more developed. But I also had the concept of items for n arbitrarily nested containers. I also track historical movements to see which items are never used. Recently I've

OK right, so they're at 170 million now, maybe ~1 life saved. I see it might be a bit early to be making claims about that. Also in comparison the cases of disruption/blocking intersections/emergency-services do seem signific

Can they just report directly how many human lives they have saved since beginning operation? (of course, within some error bars) Maybe that's too much of a statistical stretch. But would be a good to-the-point number to have on hand f

I'm storing small items in numbered bags. I take a photo and have a web UI for easy searching. It also tracks which items are used frequently vs not used at all in years. Bags are stored in numerical order for quick storage and retriev

On the other hand, insurance costs for robotaxis should be lower if they are able to drive significantly safer. Then the one I'm more interested / excited for: optimizing the fleet for the cargo. If most trips involve single passe

I'm hoping for a self driving taxi + trains combo to maybe solve the problem. For one a self driving taxi fleet could take up vastly less space - you'd no longer need one car per person, you'd need far fewer parking spots, mo

Doesn't the mechanical part need to position the optics with a fair amount of precision to get a good view? Id imagine very slight movements or misadjustments could cause issues. I don't know much about telescopes :p

Cool! Have you looked at producing 3D reconstructions over the thrown trajectory? And/or something like a gaussian splat-based representation for viewing the whole trajectory at once?

Any ideas on if/when (image+text)->image models will be available? Would be good to be able to iterate on images (keep this, change that etc). The use of the seed looks useful but I'm guessing it has its own limitations.

For me the intuition came from Sebastian Thrun in his Ai for robotics online course. Running through everything in 1D definitely helped get the concepts before extending to multidimensional problems. This looks to be the course playlist: h

I just give you two books that you've read and you tell me which is better. I played around with a tool for sorting through my personal photos based on that idea. It gets interesting when you start thinking of how to optimally choose

Seems like the key to consistency will be generating multiple images in a sequence simultaneously, rather than generating frames independently. Are models being developed along these lines?
