If you are running MacOS, I would recommend Agent Safehouse. Well maintained and is built on existing sandbox-exec so you are not locked in and can always build your own rules inde…

Agreed, the programmer is not going away. However, I expect the role is going to change dramatically and the SDLC is going to have to adapt. The programmer used to be the non-deter…

This exactly. How many small businesses were running some sort of Access database built by someone who knew just enough to meet their business process needs? "Brenda always orders …

This is why I think trail running is so valuable. You must be aware of your changing environment and how to adjust your body's movement to accommodate. You are exercising your mind…

It gave me a "living in the future" feeling the day someone sent me a picture of a phone number through imessage. Barely thinking, I pressed on the phone number in the image and I …

There is data but nowhere near the amount of written language that is fairly normalized and without the need to account for additional features such as language, dialect, intonatio…

The reason I like line scan images is because it breaks our mental model of images. We are not looking at the image of a train. We are looking at a time series graph of what occupi…

The first definition of this type of procedural generation algorithm was called Model Synthesis by Paul Merrell [1] which built upon texture synthesis. You can even read Merrell's …

The civilian government agencies spent 248B on contract services in 2023 [1]. Not all of that was professional services, but I expect that we will see an increase in that number as…

I am not qualified to make any assumptions but I do wonder if a massive investment into computing infrastructure serves national security purposes beyond AI. Like building subway s…

And with that we are back to limes. I love when we find cyclical comments

Agreed. This was raised within our corp the other week and we read through the privacy and security documentation as it relates to Connected Experiences. Microsoft has outlined spe…

The article covers this and I think the title is a bit too general. It is a byproduct of how CRISPR works as it targets a specific sequence. In this case the sequence is also prese…

You can now run any huggingface model using the following command ollama run hf.co/{username}/{repository} Example: ollama run hf.co/peakji/steiner-32b-preview-gguf:Q4_K_M Source: …

It is a case of economic security. US National Security Advisor Daleep Singh spoke about this on the Odd Lots podcast a month ago. The goal is an integrated supply chain across all…

Its like showing someone a color and asking how many letters it has. 4... 3? blau, blue, azul, blu The color holds the meaning and the words all map back. In the model the individu…

I agree and do not think any company would make that investment directly. Nvidia selling to Microsoft renting to OpenAI, I'm sure you could make that add up to $100B on paper. In t…

Your point is interesting because I see this across the home hardware industry. Cheap electronics were subsidized by data collection and I suppose that market was lucrative until i…

The realized value of LLMs is going to be output from a data to AI pipeline. From raw data to actions or insights. This is Microsoft's play to control the entire process. They are …

Another interesting takeaway is that because you are taking a single line capture the pixel distance equates to time not to distance like a normal image. What that means is that if…

I can say that Acquired at least has done some of the most interesting storytelling on the founding of companies. It's like taking 5 different books on the same topic and abridging…

Wonder if there was consideration given to mechanically moving mirrors to facilitate the light positioning rather than moving the light source itself. It may lend to modularity as …

There is a delicate balance though. The draw of the RPG is that you play a character who usually has an outsized impact on the world in comparison to most everyone else. If we expe…

For a detailed report on the mechanics behind the BOXX ETF, Bloomberg just published this article: https://archive.is/8kq0G It is not a perfect solution for everyone. You do need t…

I wish I could find the source, but I'll relay it less eloquently. Children have a remarkable ability to ask for things they know they can't have. Their innocence gives them the au…
