Next items on the roadmap: * Ability for the dispatching agent to ask clarifying questions * Telephony kit so your agent can make outbound calls and wait on hold * Openrouter integ…

I built a framework for portable voice-agents in Rust. It addresses some problems that I had with other frameworks in the space (Pipecat, Livekit). Mainly, those frameworks are cli…

That wasn’t the point nor even an offhand comment in their post. C++ is fine and has a lot of libraries built up — especially around image processing. It will be quite some time be…

That’s what debate’s about. I do recognize that caring about single threaded workloads and performance do contribute to snappier UI (and backwards compatibility).

The point that I’m making is that you can write multi threaded applications without dropping support for single core systems.

I’m not advocating making software multithreaded only , since obviously that doesn’t make sense. But, in many modern languages (including c++) multi threading 1. Doesn’t significan…

If we were arguing about designing vehicle safety testing suites for the worst performers (a very real problem that we have right now) we wouldn’t even be having this conversation.…

I don’t know dude, if you want to write software for the worst performers instead of commodity hardware that’s up to you Just that single core systems are dying and probably won’t …

The data that it presents shows that >50% of PCs surveyed have 6 cores or more.

This reads as something obvious. Of course between choosing a simple solution and a complex over-architected solution, you would choose the simple one. The key word here is “over-a…

Gonna beat a dead horse here, but >50% of PCs that are surveyed by Steam have 12 threads or more. That’s PCs that have steam installed at all. Intel’s bare minimum current-gen i3 p…

Follow-up question: What is the model’s behavior when “idle”. Does it propogate actions independently or does it only respond to stimuli?

I’d like to really poke at this “meditation” effect. Is LaMDA aware of passing time? Does it remember information from encounters that take place over a week or month?

This postmortem is incomplete: it fails to address the main three roots of the problem: 1. This business is too flippant with their write-able production access. 2. No user should …
