From what I remember from some student project many years ago, this technique is the basis for robust digital watermarking for any kind of signals, be it images or audio.

Of course the main application is to detect copyrighted material even after signals being heavily processed (e.g. ripped or cam’d movies, provided by JPEG-2000).

If anyone in the movie industry can provide some more technical details, I’m all ears!
From what I can tell this only measured immediately before and up to 3 hours after the plunge [1]. Nothing long term.

Thank you for the examples

It seems like AND is similar to calculating a binary derivative (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40328821)

In a certain way you could say you can integrate AND

For example 1 AND 0 = 0

Now if I only have 0 as a result, it means one of the arguments was 0, and the other is either 0 or 1

So the “integral” of AND(0,x) = 0, is (0, (either 0 or 1)) or just x = (either 0 or 1)

[0 or 1 meaning one means either. It doesn’t mean 0 OR 1, which would be 1]

This is analog to the result of an integral being expressed as a function + C (constant). The C part is the uncertainty of the result, just like having (0 or 1) for AND

The (0 or 1) part can also be expressed as a probability distribution, for example p(0)=0.5,p(1)=0.5 which then you can use to “sample” the integral of AND by randomly taking a (0 or 1) and using it as argument to AND(0, x)

I know people that were having friends scan their badge to meet company guidelines on return to office (their manager and teams were okay with remote work). But then Amazon added cameras on badge scans from what I heard.

The problem is that even 1.5 Pro seems completely useless for long context multimodal stuff.

I have tried it for so many use cases in video / audio and it hallucinates an unbelievable amount. More than any other model I've ever used.

So if 1.5 Pro can't even handle simple tasks without hallucination, I imagine this tiny model is even more useless.
FPGAs are terrible for anything except for prototyping, and they can largely only do things that are in the digital domain (outside of specific blocks designed for interface purposes). For a giant company like Apple they're much better serviced by an ASIC which can do the same thing at 1/100th the price and signficantly less size. The only reason to use an FPGA is if you don't know what you're doing and need the flexibility.
There's a certain serenity in it. Maybe its akin to making furniture in a way, working with you hands. Certainly at some point in the future writing C and raycasters may be closer to woodworking than to the status quo of software development.

Sadly raycasters and fiddling with bits is a difficult way to pay for food and rent/mortage. Slinging yaml and json pays better.

Maybe one day I can retire from professional programming and become a hobby programmer...

BYD profit is very low on each car they make (lower than the industry average of 5%) - basically they can take a lot more hurt in capturing the EV market than other manufacturers.
Yeah it seems that TLCD never really got a chance to get developed properly.

I think it's even worse than that. I think we'll see a shift in incentives for writing content. If websites are used as the source for AI engines that people rely on, those websites are effectively becoming the source of truth for everything.

Right now I can tell if a website is blog spam SEO garbage, but I'm not sure if that'll be possible once everything is "laundered" into a homogeneous looking result.

I think there's going to be incentive to create huge quantities of "data" because having the highest volume makes you the source of truth for a topic. So, rich companies and people will be buying compute like crazy so they can generate tons of AI spam so another AI surfaces their viewpoint as "fact".

The future is going to suck.
Was in an ML PhD program. Cut my losses and left with my Master's. It was a combination of:

1) I just don't think I have the intellect or ideas to excel in the field as I would need to.

2) Current-day academic process was antithetical to how I wanted to work. An absolute slog.

3) AI started to reach peak exuberance near when I quit, such that I looked at the job market and saw nothing but scammy startups milking VCs for easy cash, with dozens and dozens of candidates lined up for unrealistic salaries. Everyone everywhere was and still is misinterpreting what these models are and what they can actually do.

The trough of disappointment is going to be apocalyptic for this one. Once NNs are making decisions that face tough legal accountability and auditing, they are going to be dropped like a tungsten rod from God.

I'm now in a pretty comfortable job doing analysis in an engineering field, so it all worked out for me. I love the work and problems I have to solve; while the pay isn't top-tier, I'm comfortable with steadily improving my software engineering and analysis skills, rather than running the grant treadmill or competing in the ML researcher job market.
Great suggestion. There is also Kislip, which seems to be based on probiotics and, like DHM, also helps metabolize acetaldehyde. Acetium (a Finnish product) also claims to lower acetaldehyde, but that might be a localized effect (mouth/nasopharynx + GI tract).

What? iPhones will prevent you from doing that? How?

I wonder if you've missed GP's point... Your volume limiting link looks like a feature that the user can control. That means that Apple isn't preventing iPhone users from violating other people's right to quiet in quiet areas.
Kindle is now the kleenex of ebook readers, certainly not a bad product by any stretch.
There's no way it's Llama 3 70b quality.

I've been trying to work Gemini 1.5 Pro into our workstream for all kinds of stuff and it is so bad. Unbelievable amount of hallucinations, especially when you introduce video or audio.

I'm not sure I can think of a single use case where a high hallucination tiny multimodal model is practical in most businesses. Without reliability it's just a toy.
Oh one hand it is annoying that Apple gets credit for inventing things when what they really tend to do is just do a good implementation of an idea that is already being bounced around by other companies.

On the other, Windows 10 has a tablet mode? I knew they tried that with 8, but I thought it was bad enough that even MS would give up.

From the doc:

> At the moment we aren't seeing a significant improvement in the performance of the KAN Convolutional Networks compared to the traditional Convolutional Networks.

So, inference speed probably not improved.

As for model size in bytes, is there any reason to assume it's not directly related to parameter count? I didn't see any mentions of pruning/quantization/other optimizations, so I'll naively go with KKAN being about 400KB. (For inference purposes)

Either way, probably still a bit too early to think about productionizing KANs - there's still a ton of unanswered questions. The biggest one for now probably the fact that they are sloo-ooo-ooow to train.(10x slower than MLPs)

On the upside, you can probably get quite a bit of traction if you publicly look at KANs on low power accelerators, it seems a very open topic :)
I'm surprised the eink patent holders are seemingly content to lose their patent in time instead of licensing it and making real money
> You realize when you say, "Microsoft", you're basically talking about OpenAI tech right?

I own MSFT stock because of it, so yea. I only wish they owned more because OpenAI will be a monster acquisition target.

I'm curious what this will all mean for AWS. Amazon is notoriously behind, so I wonder if we'll see then lose customers because of it.
In which dialect is that the case? It is certainly not one I have ever encountered.
> The best AI you build is likely the one your users don't even know exists

AI has a lot of use cases that are "transparent" and not necessarily "in your face" and still present a lot of opportunities for builders.

I work at a startup that leaned into AI and a use case is simply detecting mis-classified products (happens all the time at large retailers).

On my own side projects, I'm using it in a travel app transparently to help extract places from travel blogs. Imagine you're trying to plan a trip and you find a blog that has a great itinerary. Using AI, it's trivial now to pull out all of the place names for your and organize just the days and destinations without the fluff.

I have another side project where I use AI to generate a customized daily newsletter based off of a feed from the FDA. The AI allows the recipient to ask whatever questions they might have against clinical trials registered with the FDA and automatically answers those questions and sends it along with a summary of the trial.

If anything, I think AI has opened up a vast field of new possibilities.
This is not a very useful link since only the abstract is available without paying, and the pre-print does not seem to be on arXiv.
As a counterpoint, I’ve been working on collaborative text editing. I ended up implementing a custom b-tree because we needed a few features that I couldn’t find in any off the shelf library:

- My values represent runs of characters in the document.

- Inserts in the tree may split a run.

- Runs have a size - 0 if the run is marked as deleted or the number of characters otherwise. The size changes as we process edits

- Every inserted character has an ID. I need to be able to look up any run by its ID, and then edit it. (Including querying the run’s current position in the tree and editing the run’s size).

It’s an interesting data structure problem, and it took a few weeks to have a good solution (and a few weeks more later rewriting it in safe rust & improving performance in the process).

I love this stuff. I think it’s pretty rare to find a reason to code your own collection types these days, but it certainly comes up from time to time!
Starshield is a contract vehicle. Not a product.

To some degree it already is.

I recently built a pretty simple static site. I wanted to know how bad the search engines were out to lunch. I chose an industry and domain, then built something simple using a template. Then I did what you should never do with SEO. Keyword stuffing, geo tagging and stuffing, using duplicate content and then copying material directly from high ranking sites in the same industry.

NONE of it was penalized and the site within a week or so was on the top two pages for dozens of specific searches I very deliberately abused SEO in order to achieve.

Nobody is awake right now at wheel. Not long ago, my site would've been buried in a matter of hours. Now? I'm rewarded when I purposefully manipulate the SERPS for some research and get listed on the front page.

If people think AI is going to make this better, they're in for a rude awakening. Its only going to get worse as more people realize how easy it is to manipulate the search engines to get your stuff ranked higher and take advantage of it. There doesn't seem to be any checks on the validity of what the AI is serving up - making it ripe for abuse.
Unfortunately most people don't want to bother compiling, myself included. I tried gentoo one time and it took 1 hour to compile 5 minutes worth of apt-get on ubuntu.
Because "we took organs to divert into the black market" and "we let the med students poke around during the routine autopsy for training" are very different things?
Data part seems to be different. With tech it's always in a race to the (cheapest) bottom. And I totally see hardware price (or rather computation price) coming down, but data would be harder and harder to collect, because:

1. Regulators finally think of something.

2. Internet is becoming increasingly full of AI-generated content which is bad as a training data.
Interesting! Although going for no backlight seem to make it about as impractical indoors as regular displays are outdoors?
What if I told you most any vehicle can block almost any intersection.
> It's not a shock that people when confronted with this will click the easy button, and that doesn't mean it reflects their actual interests.

Yes, but that was my actual point. If one simple UI design trick is enough to completely flip the choices of users, then consent forms aren't a robust way to collect preferences at all. In fact if you wanted to genuinely and in good faith provide access to granular preferences, giving a more complicated set of choices would be the only way to go about it, and that fatigue is still real even if the design has a legitimate purpose.

What you're saying is true, the only way for the choice to be representative would be to have like a binary yes/no choice because that's simple, but that's not even necessarily what the user wants either. You're going to get a significantly more accurate view of people's real preferences by collecting data, like what Firefox is doing here, and then setting defaults accordingly.
Jalopnik always was EV disinfo site
You are forgetting energy storage, the grid, the duck curve, etc.

But I don't necessarily disagree with you.
Great, now you're going to eat a bunch of AI-generated junk, digest it, and spout a lot of nonsense.
The GMail app supports IMAP because they merged the AOSP Mail client into it a couple of years ago.
There can be legal consequences to some speech, but our voice boxes haven't been flashed with firmware that limits our ability to use certain words. This is not at all analogous to what Apple is doing with iPhones. To be the same, it would have to listen/parse everything you say and filter out the offensive parts so other people don't hear them. It would also need strong technical measures to prevent you from flashing your own voice box firmware that allows you to bypass Apple's restrictions. If you can point to an implementation like that, then you may have a point, but I'm entirely unaware of the existence of such a thing.
A lot of the components you'd need for that sorta kinda exist:

Flexible e-ink displays

Color eink displays

High-ish refresh rate eink displays

The problem is AFAICT there's no device that covers all 3. Color displays have pretty big tradeoffs in terms of resolution/contrast/latency. However they're still way ahead of where they were 5-10 years ago.
This is far more superior than SORA, there is no comparison.
No Just did the test before posting on my ipad pro to make sure it was still the case. Music + advertisement on Reddit -> no more music (and the same with the autoplay videos on 2 news sites)
This could go on for many hundreds of pages, but I thought I would share:

“Well, yes. The alternative is for you to give me a definition of free will that allows for it within the constraints of cause-effect and randomness.”

https://youtu.be/itLIM38k2r0?si=1wTeSVdX28UlB2jf

This interview with Nobel prize winning mathematical physicist Roger Penrose describes a framework where quantum mechanical time hopping during a measurement removes this cause-and-effect concern you have. E.g. The nature of reality of time and matter fields is even more complicated than we understand, and our macros scale understanding of cause and effects might be too limiting when considering constraints of consciousness.
Money was of dumb shorts that got liquidated today. Not people like me, wether theses are hedge funds or small time wanna be traders i don't care. So smart to sell something you don't own and take on a potential unlimited loss.

But yeha I am very morally fraught for buying and selling a stock, not people selling something they don't even have.
I came here to see if there was an open link yet.
I agree with you. Came as a bit of a surprise that this channel is as large as it is.
No. Thus far no AI agent has shown itself to be capable of building amazing things. AI agents generate, at best, mediocre and derivative content and at worst, soulless nightmares out of the uncanny valley. None of it has any sense of originality or a specific creative touch or vision, nor can it given the way LLMs work. All this despite the consistent refrain from people that LLMs work exactly the same way that human beings do, with equivalent creative processes. Thus far, such claims only demonstrate a quasi-religious belief not backed up by evidence, or equivalent results.

And if it were somehow to be the case that AI was capable of building amazing things, it would be the AI doing so, not people. You can go to a Michelin starred restaurant and order a world-class meal, but describing your order doesn't make you a chef. In the same way, describing what you want to an AI that simulates the work of countless artists doesn't make you an artist.

And no, this isn't equivalent to an artist using tools and filters in Photoshop (although Photoshop is now moving to integrating AI so it kind of is.) Those are tools that still require the skill and talent of an artist and allow a degree of direct control over the end result that AI doesn't.
Just curious how do modern humans compare.
I think most people have this notion that sewage treatment removes everything.

I know the local creek that the local water treatment plant empties out into, and the creek smells like sewage. The water intake is maybe km away down river. Aside from obvious chemicals like paint that people might flush. All kinds of medical/drug chemicals they're on are also peed out as well. And those can be active in tiny amounts.
> Modern sextants can read the angle to a 0.1 minute level of accuracy, i.e. one-600th of a degree or one-tenth of a mile. In practice, actual accuracy to one-half mile is acceptable and quite good. The usual standard is accuracy to within five miles. The sextant (or octant) is meant to get the ship across the ocean. Once near the coast (20-100 miles) the more accurate techniques of piloting are relied upon for a safe landfall. The sextant is still the standard instrument for taking the observations required for celestial navigation.

One thing that helps with a pitching deck is that the horizon and object remain the same angle. Like a camera following race car, the objects move together.

What are you trying to do with it that you’re concluding it’s a “bad product” due to the slow refresh times? Kindles have always been the benchmark ebook reader and the most common piece of e-ink technology that you can actually buy. Hardly a “bad product” in any dimension that matters in business terms.
