The range on one RF system I worked on was 2mi with a wet noodle for an antenna.

I discovered last week that Fable 5 can write perfect xTensa LX7 assembler code without tools or references. Mind blown. But, when working on a creative graphics task, the results …

You just need to be able to remotely take over a system with a compatible radio within range. That’s why I’m so concerned about Bluetooth

Would it be practical to have the ESP P4 self-host?

Whoah, so cool how the map shows the shadow of mountains at that late time in the day. Geneva and the Jura look awesome.

There are many wireless pump-and-reservoir systems that while not internet connected, use insecure RF links. These local RF (and casting a wider net, Bluetooth) interfaces are also…

Yikes. Man, there’s a market opening for someone to redistribute open source projects with supply chain assurances!

Mamba/SSMs could change this picture.

The policy I set at my org is to put an organically written message at the top of your Claude blob. Something like: tl;dr: ___human-written____ ____claude blob here_____ Where the …

Many orgs (esp w ISO27000) have a vulnerability management policy that involves patching at least critical CVEs within a short timeline. Tools like trivvy make it possible to do th…

Are you thinking of fundamental architectural changes (like the Transformer)? Or incremental (like MoE or GQA)? Are there specific neolabs or techs you are following that lead you …

There’s another way besides distillation that’s way cheaper: You can have the big model build prescriptive skills that the small model follows. Take the “train” portion of tasks on…

Funny retcon, but come on… TIL huggingface started as a chatbot for teens who didn’t get enuf hugs.

I think so, if you can inject synthetic errors with the same distribution as the errors you care about.

It is surprisingly hard to do in a single prompt. I’ve had good luck though with being very explicit about asking for review, then to think deeply about what actually matters, and …

I’ve found that doing the full requirements capture, planning, writing, reviewing, gardening loop with frontier models has worked quite well since last October, and phenomenally si…

Mais par contre, Canada also has some tremendous senatorial committees. They asked real questions of Hinton.

Matches my experience. Basement home offices are the worst offenders.

Do we have recent commentary on open-weight from the Anthropic founding team?

With $onnet he would have gotten pwned. Or at least I’d love to see a comparison against other models.

It is customary that one may publish one’s own personal correspondence unless the other party has requested confidentiality. Maybe this open invitation to the world pushes the boun…

Hmm I imagine using a server to connect to signal/whatsapp or even email, then using a local model to classify and filter and trim messages and forwarding to SMS, and viceversa. I …

Fascinating. Can you explain why southern London is DC while northern London is AC?

Can you share an example? I've been happily using Fable this afternoon and it just seems like the usual upgrade so far with no interruption to my (fairly standard) SWENG problems.

Very nice. Can I fork for my private use? Was thinking of building similar.
