I am unfortunately just paying for this out of pocket! Didn't really expect it to blow up like this.

interesting, so you think the issue with the above approach is the graph structure being too rigid / lossy (in terms of losing semantics)? And embeddings are also too lossy (in terms of losing context and structure)? But you guys are w

Buried, but on Page 24 they reveal to me the most surprising massive capability leap - that o3-mini is way better at conning gpt-4o for money (79% win rate for o3-mini vs 27% for full o1!). It isn't surprising to me that "reasonin

I was running into some scaling issues, but should be all working now!

The voice is just OpenAI’s default tts voice. I agree that Veritasium video is an incredible work and the ai version is absurd by comparison! This is mostly a proof of concept that this is possible at all, and as LLMs get smarter it’ll be

Hmm the initial version of the app only took me about a day to get something working, but that version took minutes to generate a single video and even then only worked a third of the time. It took a solid 2 weeks from there to add all the

There is a job queue on the backend with statuses, just not worth breaking the streaming experience to ask the LLM rewrite broken manim segments out of order

totally fair! I like the XKCD comic as well because it hints at a potential solution - even if you can't always be correct, how you respond to critical questions can really help. I'm working on a feature for users to ask follow up

These are amazing examples! Thanks for all the feedback, detailed info, and persistence in trying! HN hug of death means I'm running into Gemini rate limits unfortunately :( will def make that more clear when it happens in the UI and t

sad looks like I already hit the Gemini rate limit :( Switching to Claude!

thanks! Streaming was actually pretty hard to get working, but it goes roughly like this as a streaming pipeline: - The LLM is prompted to generate an explainer video as sequence of small Manim scene segments with corresponding voiceovers -

This actually makes a lot of sense! Sounds like finding dangerous chemicals is easy and is not the actual limitation at all.

This is a textbook bad faith comment / attacking the person but not the subject of the argument. I’m just asking about others’ assessment of the benefits and risks. What do you think? Or do you think it’s just not worth considering?

Clear snark aside, content piracy has pretty bounded risks so isn’t a reasonable comparison

This is both awesome and feels very dangerous to release publicly, no? Can’t this be used to discover novel bioweapons as easily as it can be used to discover new medicines? Genuinely curious, would love to learn if that isn’t true / o

Does this ruling make IVR systems illegal, too? I applaud the effort because this really could curb a lot of spam, but I am curious because AI generated voices in phone calls are already ubiquitous and have been for decades. Do they have a

I agree. Have been working on a 2 way interruptions system + streaming like this. It's not robust yet, but when it works it does feel magical.

Hey! Awesome work. It seems like in theory this encoding scheme should enable the a model like this to generate images as well, by outputting image tokens, is that right?

This was an inspiring read! Reminds me of Simon Willison's analogy of LLMs to "calculators for words" but this author takes the idea even further. I agree the analogy points to foundation model companies like OpenAI and Anthr

Anyone wanna convert this to GGML so we can run it with LLaMa.cpp?

I don't think that's even necessary! You could use this acoustic technique to shape ordinary light-curing resin and then flash with UV light to harden it.

I think programmer salaries have been so high because FAANG companies were willing and able to pay through the nose to hoard talent. This is changing.

This is fascinating, groundbreaking research I think! Never heard of anything like this. Any neuroscientists here who can speak to implications?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t transparent pigments only change light color by allowing certain wavelengths of light to pass through them? That would mean the glaze in question here is only changing the color of the light by blocking ou

Fascinating! Can you explain this a bit more and share some examples?

Heh, I thought this was going to be an article about Engelbart, et. al.'s mothers!
