Seems very oriented toward model architecture and inference engineering. Maybe add some more on model training flow, distillation, data generation, SFT and RL techniques?

Seems like he thinks RLVR == learning from binary reward for the whole chain, completely discounting techniques to provide denser rewards like process reward supervision?

lol you can go ask Thomas Rearden himself if Ctrl-labs "invented" gesture recognition from sEMG.

The technology was "invented" by CTRL-Labs like how OpenAI "invented" transformer-based language models.

Virtual keyboard is completely doable, but too slow.

He's scribbling with his finger. Typing can also work, but handwriting is simply faster and easier to decode. sEMG signals correlate with *muscle* activation. When your fingers mov…

Everyone focusing on consumer prices. But tariffs also function to incentivize domestic reindustrialization, which has huge national security implications. You see this clearly in …

Came to the comments to see this. Stamping has all sorts of problems with alignment, stamp resolution, contact quality, etc, it's not clear whether this so called "simplicity" stil…

Thanks for the reference, I suspected it would be EMG as well. Especially in the video you can see how the patient modulates his eyebrow, facial muscles, and mouth. The vestigial m…

I use Foundry for work. It makes data ingestion, cleaning, quality check and automation easy. After all the data is ingested, running analysis/RAG on them become extremely easy. Ba…

Hard agree. This type of app looks awesome in theory, but also makes me want to really organize my thoughts, make sure the tags are not too redundant, and think about how to merge …

That may be the case in the past, but the factors that enabled the Chinese manufacturing (low to medium range) dominance are largely declining: abundant growing labor force, stable…

> I’m open to being proved ignorant here. Can you think of some examples where tech was obviously ahead of its time and not accepted? Google glass as an AR device

So with these generative models running rampant, what's to even motivate aspiring artists to develop and hone their craft, if their years of work can be copied so easily? Maybe it …

I actually LoL'd reading this. You can buy packs of 10 small notebooks (each the thickness of 10 of these cards) for $15 on Amazon, they work just as well if not better. A notebook…

+1 on this. Matlab toolboxes are much more well tested, has thorough documentation and work much better out of the box, especially for controls and signal processing. Working with …
