Combat robots are more like RC cars than autonomous robots, the driver stays in control of the bot over a radio link. I use ESP-NOW, and get about 6000 packets per second from the …

Difficulty scaling is done to such an extent that even common enemies scale right along with you. In the opening scene, there is a bear you come across and at level 1 or 2, you are…

I'm doing something similar, using the directionality of the antenna to turn an ESP32 into a high RPM gyroscope for use in a combat robot. Standard gyro chips top out well under 10…

An intuitive explanation for why reasoning tokens help is to remember that LLMs are just mathmatical functions f() that take in an input sequence x and produces the next token f(x)…

More of a "Everyone knows what CCP references and I'd have to include a distracting explanation if I want to use the more technically correct acronym"

Are you saying that cloud models are not verifying the draft model predictions? The way draft models are used in something like llama.cpp results in exactly zero degredation of out…

> I can't see where one can opt-out of this new behavior and into the existing behavior, only a description of the new behavior's bypass (which is not the same thing at all) I don'…

This is a wild misrepresentation of the situation. Saying there is no opt-out is just false, they even provide the information on how users can opt-out. The "mandatory 24 hour cool…

These new models are very impressive. There should be a massive speedup coming as well, AI Edge Gallery is running on GPU, but NPUs in recent high end processors should be much fas…

Prepaid mobile carriers offer "free" phones with one month of service. $25 a piece for Samsung a16 4-pack from Metro, if you only want 1 you can do $45 for a moto g power (8gb RAM)…

All of them, you can still sideload after the changes.

Any chance of Qualcomm NPU compatible .litertlm files getting released?

The easiest way would be to setup some cameras and start recording everything. Gemini could already sort that into events you could query. If you have privacy concerns, at the curr…

I still don't get how they are driving away devs. It's super easy for us to click the setting. If I urgently need to test my app during the 24 hour waiting period, I can just adb i…

Just don't install the OS updates then.

Really, there are apps that will intercept and exfiltrate your bank one time code sms that are just sitting on the play store? First I'm hearing of this, what's the name of one?

Then shouldn't we celebrate the victory, drop it, and move on?

It really seems like they are doing a lot to appease the tiny minority of us power users, adb load unaffected, one time toggle in settings to opt out, no change to alternative app …

Even the noise turns into heat

Nanite is a good counterexample, very impressive and innovative technology. Even more impressive that they released the technical details instead of going the software patent route…

With those past examples the majority of people thought "It's not my problem, I won't be affected", and they were mostly right. With an automation wave of the scale needed to get t…

> a planet that is breathable and isn't burning This is a perfect example of something that can benefit greatly from abundant goods and services. Driving the cost of solar panel ma…

Right now it is difficult for the average person to put themselves in the shoes of a homeless person. There are a litany of ready made excuses not to do so: "Oh it's the drugs", "T…

This is true. It's by no means garunteed that we will get to a point where effectively all the jobs are being automated. If we eventually get there, it seems likely the path will b…
