Paljonko tommosesta vaunusta saakaan torissa. Kannattaako renkaat myydΓ€ erikseen?

Figure promises 5h run time which is more than I thought. So 10h daily work means there's 2 bots or one charging at least once. If they can make it run 2+ years with little repair then maybe they are already far enough with this approach

must admit bsky AI doomerism might have hit me to think there probably is at least a small bubble here and I need to shake my ideas. But the wheels+hands form factor is what I was mostly thinking. Perhaps you could proto the use cases with Kukas and then develop cheaper hands that still do the thing

I think I've been too big fan to not think this through properly earlier. But isn't the main driver the promise of AI to make teaching new tasks easy. Humanoids need still another big step in shrinking joints, batteries+computation. You'd probably get there faster with small Kuka/ABB robot on wheels

Very cool. But it does feel like they should remove the head and put 4 wheels instead of legs to get robustness and better battery life. There shouldn't be that many stairs to walk in a factory. But they'd probably lose half the company value with it. How often does that guy need to charge anyway?

Is bluesky compression, or some intentional Sora thingy that there is some audio glitch at 7 seconds?

I wonder if there's some extra delay for the first loader since the data has to be read from disk instead of RAM cache? But this depends on a few things...

Jos tarvitaan nopeaa kasvua, missÀ mÀÀrin tÀssÀ kÀytetÀÀn/voisi kÀyttÀÀ enemmÀn yrityksiÀ? Ensiapu, ammunta, droonitaidot osataan varmasti monessa firmassa ja esim. kanadalainen Calian kÀsittÀÀkseni organisoi isojakin sotaharjoituksia.

The scraping war seems be causing some collateral damage too. So far I've seen only some additional checkboxes to tick for humaneness but now it seems I can not access forums hosted by @groups.io

At least in here, AI discourse doesn't mean discourse of the AI. Something not to take for granted.

In Finland we're so far back I don't even know what you're talking about. Usually, abroad I'd miss decent plant based proteins and in Italy tend to end up eating too much cheese instead. Although, it recently hit me, in Danish breakfast tables also plant based fats are impossible to get

I think we should define "fair training". If you can replicate multiple pages verbatim it's not very human and not far from deliberate piracy. If not differential privacy, perhaps reasonable stochasticicity, or one could even design model/training exactly for replication instead of "extrapolation".

Mielenkiintoista. Mutta miten nΓ€itΓ€ kuvia pitΓ€isi tulkita? Esim. vasemmiston keskiarvo ~0.4 kun sukupuolia ei huomioida ja >1.2 molemmille sukupuolille.

Being on the cusp of a GPT3 moment sounds like it would still take at least 2 years for Waymo to get where they are now had they chosen the AI way. And even GPTs still aren't good enough for safety critical tasks so I'm not sure. For the late comers, it'll definitely be easier.

Too far, but in the right direction. Or is that an apology?

With AGI, I guess you could drop the word "researchers" from this dialogue?

In Helsinki, while there may be higher fares pub.transport, I think the main reason is simply remote work, visible especially in the age groups 18-44. Car usage hasn't been reduced quite as much, which also makes sense since traffic jams and available parking has been even greater limiter earlier

Not quite sure which pieces you refer to, but more than complete denial, I think I've seen arguments that AGI won't appear within a year or even 3 and probably takes more than a decade. Which is also an argument against the current valuations of some AI companies that keep hyping the opposite.

No doubt this will make Americans a bit greater, even if living a bit shorter

The issue seems to be mentioned in the current version of the article

I was about to yell no on your first post, until I read the comments on the other thread. Anyway, works better for some other people, with different kind of followers. It's a bummer you can't choose the ones you have. If only you could post under separate topics... you'd soon have another reddit

I think he has a point there. There are far more native Spanish speakers in the Americas so it would make sense for English to be the number 2

There is the not so negligible chance that this will be the main CVPR event this year while everything else will be remote

I really thought the point was that there are so many fully or 95% LLM written papers where the author (i.e., prompt engineer) never intended to announce the fact.

With the test in the pic, I guess it not necessarily just computer vision, but vision in general. Surely nice if the car could have all possible sensors. And in case of plain driving assistance, the more orthogonal set of sensors (vs human) the better.

Yeees I guess a descriptor. Having only glanced some of the related papers my mental model of the components is quite vague. And the issue with light/dark points feels so tied to missing the description of scene in the first place...

So can you next make a keypoint detector that doesn't just detect points but also describes them in a few embeddings. For others to match the red brick in a gray wall and the gray one some other time?

With @jetbrains.com IDEs, it may be sometimes challenging to know what is code and what is some meta info from linters and other tools. And it feels quite ok when you get used to it. I guess one could go even further. I love ruff so I don't need to think about style. Learning a new one takes time

Reading this, I think maybe we need to stop formatting python, at all. You could implement editor plugins that display the code any way you want and some other way for others. You could use some format for storage, e.g., a one that is optimum for calculating diffs and git rebase gets way nicer
