Stability is actually defined by having a lower energy level. That explains why energy can only flow from a less stable system to a more stable system : the more stable system does…

Yes, it's Unity based, so quite easy. There is another version on Quest too, so running on Android : https://www.meta.com/fr-fr/experiences/6113695908674751/ .

I love the idea, that's the future. However you should be aware that the explanation of second law of thermodynamics generated by the LLM you used in your app store screenshot is w…

May I add another method: block fine-pruning of transformers (pruning while fine-tuning) ? https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.04838 Using blocks allows to keep good performence on GPUS, wh…

Thanks for the pointer, I will definitely have a look at this format, I was not aware of this.

Thanks! Yes, that’s the way to go. There is only a compromise between code simplicity/specialization and compression performance. And another point is the ability to use the format…

Thanks for the kind words! Yes, file size for live action or shipping directly in an app is always an issue. I may actually contribute some code, my file format is no rocket scienc…

Thanks for this! I have been working on something similar for an upcoming education app, record a course and play in the same app with a compact file format (1MB per minute, could …

Efficiency of solar panels on satellites is about 40%. That means ~ 700W/m2 if correctly oriented. That's quite a lot of power, even if you stay 50% of the time in night while orbi…

OpenAI just announced it will port its sparse libraries to PyTorch, so exciting times ahead! You can read more here about this (OP here) : https://medium.com/huggingface/is-the-fut…

I don't think you have the right numbers in mind talking about the compute you need for AI. The prices are getting lower and lower of course, but you still need tons of money to tr…

What a pity they did not call it Rama ;-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendezvous_with_Rama

Reminds me a bit too much of Interstellar's Blight. http://interstellarfilm.wikia.com/wiki/The_Blight

There is no such thing as a dumb rocket : to get down, they are using almost exactly the same stuff they use to get up, weight wise: they use the gimbaled engines, and the nitrogen…

It reminds me so much of my young years on Atari #8bitnostalgia ;-)

Yes, that's one of the method that was used: from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9284226 : > The first round was cross-domain JavaScript, stopped with an "alert()". Second ro…

My daughter has been playing it since she was 7, it's really cool to teach the basics of programming, and more generally to improve accuracy of spatial and time reasoning.

So you choose to suffer the bad sides of the government without taking any advantage from it ? You are free to do so, but is it really the wisest solution when you are just looking…

Yes, of course, no paperwork at all would be perfect, you don't want to waste your time on anything but your job, but the benefits are really worth it. And to answer you, I had to …

I can assure you that you will want the government to help, especially when you don't have any money to start your business. You should ask a few entrepreneurs about this.

You don't have to make some profit to benefit it, as you get employer taxes back for R&D employees, which can be very important, something like 40% of employee cost. It lowers a lo…

Wow, that's a great deal of french bashing in such a short comment. I agree that the immigration laws must be a real pain for some people. But for the rest, you must have been out …

Nice landing page, I really can't wait to test the app !

You can have fused information from CoreLocation, with some smoothing and so with lower time resolution, but you can have too raw data from the gyro / accelerometer.
